From Office To Mansion: A Tale Of Two Hearts

Episode 7 continues

Luci-

“Hhh…oh.okay sir.”

Luci pov-

For some reason I just knew not to ask questions about any of that information… I was a tad fearful of whether or not there was a possibility i was unintentionally getting involved in something illegal but then again I trusted Declan enough that he wouldn’t put in me any potential danger and it seemed as though that was what he may have been trying to prevent… I have feeling there’s something going on that I don’t know about and probably something I’m not supposed to be involved with and at least for right now I’m not going to push anything… I’ll just finish up and get myself home…

Declan pov-

I had to gef her out of here it was way tol late and after I found out she doesn’t drive home i knew I had to prepare all of that for her… i do feel bad that after she left I checked the built in gps on the car and her phone i nneded to know she was okay and that no one followed her from her… i felt them close and waiting and Donovan was restless… I still don’t know if I can trust him with her yet… he’s still too unpredictable… but tonight she is safe and i need to be a bit more careful…

Luci-

I had trouble sleeping last night.. i just couldn’t get that interaction with Declan at the office out of my head… it was so strange and I don’t know I might be overthinking it but my gut says something was off about it… I kept tossing and turning all night and I was barely able to get any restful sleep. After several attempts and being wide awake by 4:15 this morning I decided to utilize the offer from Declan and ask if I could have some extra time this morning to do some errands and stop for breakfast before coming in this morning I’m in need of doing something a bit more relaxed and leisurely on my brain before I do anything requiring a reasonable amount of thought processing. Thankfully he seemed to be pleased by me taking hkm up on the original offer. I don’t have to be in the office until 9am now so that should give me some ample time to get my wits about me!

Declan-

I was incredibly relieved when i had woke up to Luci’s message asking for some extra time for herself this morning, not just because i needed it myself but because she felt comfortable enough to know she could ask and I wasn’t going deny her that opportunity. I was feeling very drained after she had left last night, the family meeting took a lot of energy out of me and Donovan was still very restless. It was bad enough i was having difficulty controlling him and now i was responsible for redirecting the guys waiting outside for her to leave before we could begin as scheduled. Their complaining about her made me even more restless and I’ll admit it made me angry as well. They had no right to complain about how k run things or with whom I choose to keep around me! She was harmless to them and our kind in general so they have no reason to complain about her close to me and assisting me with anything! It’s her job anyways, she’s an executive secretary and she’s supposed to be helping with everything I request of her as long as it matches her skillset and description of her job. I’m in charge here and thry just have to deal with that! Luci is staying whether they approve of my decision or not. Speaking of Luci I’ll need to make sure I have enough energy by the time she arrives so I’m able to keep her safe if needed.
