Gloria looked at him with clear suspicion. From where she stood, she couldn’t see much inside the room. The only thing visible was part of a purple velvet wall, and that alone made her uncomfortable.
“What is that room?” she asked, her tone guarded.
“That’s your office sister-in-law,” Lukas replied with a faint smile. “There’s nothing dangerous inside. It’s just a room that will be yours once you start working for me.”
Gloria didn’t believe him. Not even a little. Her instincts were screaming at her that something was wrong. The way he stood there, the way he spoke so casually, it only made her more uneasy. Still, she couldn’t afford to walk away.
“Why are you hesitating sister-in-law?” Lukas said, his voice turning colder. “Didn’t I already tell you? I don’t like waiting.”
