CHAPTER 21 - A Warning

/LORCAN/I rubbed my temple frustrated as I thought about how I ended up barely getting any sleep last night from overthinking what had happened during dinner."Good afternoon, sir," Fenton said, bringing me out of my thoughts as he stepped into the office. "The representatives from Morene Holdings have arrived and are waiting in Boardroom A.""Are both of them there?" I asked, getting to my feet."Yes, sir. Mr. Marcus Morene and his son, Andrew.""Good," I murmured, adjusting my cuffs. We left the office together and headed to Boardroom A to meet with the Morenes. "Give us five minutes, then bring in the presentation files."I walked into the boardroom, my eyes landing on Mr. Morene and Andrew. He immediately stood up and bowed his head slightly in acknowledgement. When Andrew's eyes landed on me, I could see the horror in them. “At least he was smart enough to put the pieces together,” I thought as I walked to my seat at the head table.“What do you think you're doing? Show some re

CHAPTER 22 - Rumors and Reactions

/THEO/"So, are you going to spill the tea, or should we keep guessing?"I paused, my hand hovering over the zipper of my satchel. Maya was leaning against the edge of my desk, her arms crossed and a mischievous grin plastered across her face. Two cubicles down, Jace swiveled around in his office chair, holding an unlit vape pen like a microphone."Spill what?" I asked, actually confused.

"It's not a big deal. You guys are exaggerating.""Exaggerating?" Maya raised an eyebrow, letting out a dry laugh. "Theo, that car costs more than my

/LORCAN/Something was wrong with Theo.It wasn't obvious at first, but by the third day, the shift was impossible to ignore. Ever since that evening he got into my car with his face bright red, he had drawn an invisible line between us.He didn't ramble about his workday on the drive home anymore. He didn't hover around the kitchen counter while I made coffee, and he certainly didn't smile too bright around me which I found very suspicious.Instead, he had become excessively polite."Good morning, Lorcan.""Thank you for the ride, Lorcan.""I left dinner in the fridge for you, Lorcan."It was infuriating. I was used to him being a cheerful, slightly chaotic presence in the flat. This new, overly cautious version of him felt wrong. He was acting like a guest who was terrified of overstaying his welcome, and every time he quietly retreated to his bedroom right after dinner, my irritation grew.On Friday evening, I decided I’d had enough of the silence. On my way to pick him up from Pix
