Author Laura Schroff Novels & Stories

“Just keep an eye on Ari. I have a feeling she’s going to need to blow off some steam. She’s bound to put on a show with the right concoction.” Camila’s grin was infectious. “You got it, boss.” I turned to Laura, who had been quietly taking everything in. She was the youngest of the group and I didn’t want her doing any field work. I didn’t want her in the group at all but she begged relentlessly and decided to show her worth when she hacked into Luna Emily’s social calendar. Now we knew exactly where she was going to be. Honestly, I needed her. I was good at the basics from Gabe teaching me years ago and honing them a little in college, but Laura’s mind was on a whole new level. She saw thi

Laura said. "Oh... yes. It was a nightmare," Elena murmured. Elena's footsteps echoed through the hallway as she made her way towards the bathroom, her mind already swirling with thoughts of Aaron. She yearned for the cool relief of a shower, hoping it would wash away not only the physical grime but also the turmoil in her mind. Yet, before she could even grasp the handle, Laura's presence loomed behind her, blocking her path. "The project has been approved," Laura announced, her tone laced with a hint of satisfaction.

She asks sweetly and I happily nod my head while Lucas just stares at her. “So to start with the most obvious one. No, I am not his sister, we just work together.” She answers and my eyes widen. “Oh god. Don’t tell me you work in IT.” I say as I remember Carter telling me his ex-used to work with him. “Oh, so you did tell her about Angela.” She teases Lucas and he just rolls his eyes, “No, I am not Angela, his ex and to put you at ease. I am happily married with a kid. Lucas and I are just coworkers. Well, I am his boss actually.”

Marko explained, leaving the woman speechless. Laura didn’t expect the article to have such a wide impact, an article that wasn’t true, because everything written there was only about Laura’s flaws. Any achievements Laura had ever had were never revealed by Beckett or even Shofia to anyone. So they thought Laura wasn’t better than Michelle.

"Is there a reason you kicked Luna out of Alpha's office earlier?" Laura's smile faltered for a moment before she quickly composed herself. "Oh, it was just a misunderstanding. I didn't realize Brax had asked Luna to wait for him, and never having met you before, I just thought you were some random person. I apologize if I came off as rude," she said, trying to sound sincere. I could see through her cover-up story, but I decided not to escalate the issue further, offering her a weak smile. Brax's eyes flicked between us, trying to read the situation. "It's Alpha to you, Laura. Luna is welcome in my office anytime, and if I hear of you being rude to her again, you will be punished," he said,

Without missing a beat, she walked directly to Allison. “I'm saying this in anticipation, Miss Simeone, congratulations on the success of the digital event,” Laura said smoothly, removing her sunglasses with a subtle smirk. Allison eyed her warily, suspicion flickering across her face. “You're congratulating me? Come to think of it, you seem… unusually calm, for someone who lost to me. No drama today, Laura?” Laura feigned innocence, tilting her head. “Drama? Why would I do anything that would harm the event? Liam already spoke to me. I’m just here to support the project. It's the same Valmont Luxe we're working on. There's no winning or losing.”

Nathan asked when he realized that both were wearing the same clothes. “Yup, I thought to play along and look, nobody realized that I’m not their boss,” Theo said with a wide grin on his face. Nathan chuckled at hearing this and took out his cellphone. “When Laura is coming back?” Theo asked. “After two months, her degree is completed. Just a thesis is remaining,” Nathan replied. Laura got a scholarship and went to the U.S.A three years back for higher studies. “When Sophie is coming back?” Nathan asked. Sophie went to India to meet her grandparents.

Laura asked. “That’s all. I swear. I headed back up to the hotel room after that.” Laura fumed. “I hate that woman. She knew I was with you that night.” “She’s a tramp, that’s for sure,” Angelo added. Laura was steamed. “She pretty much avoided me all day today. Now I know why. I can’t believe I work for someone like that. I may need to look at other options soon.” “Do you want me to reconsider using Kinetic for the ad campaign?”

she asked again, her brows pulling together in an almost cute pout. She moved to close the door, clearly uninterested in a conversation, but I slapped a hand against the frame, keeping it open. I met her gaze head-on. “I’m Laura, from Room 6B downstairs. I get that you love a good party, but other people are trying to sleep. Your music is too damn loud. Will you turn it down?” It was unnerving to be staring at someone who looked so much like me but wasn’t related in any way. Wasn’t there some old superstition about doppelgängers being a bad omen?
