DAMIEN'S CONTRACT WIFE
I frowned “what do you mean, why”
“You said it's impossible. I'm asking you why”
I let out a slow breath, trying to keep my frustration under control.
“Because Derek Lawson has worked with my father for almost twenty years”.
“I know”
“He helped raised me and my brother, after my mother died”.
“I know that too”
Every answer was calmly measured. I leaned forward, resting both palms on the desk.
“Then you should also know Derek would never steal from my father”.
Damien didn't argue, he didn't nod either. Instead, he folded his hands together and regarded me thoughtfully. "I never said he stole anything."
