#Chapter 87: Web of Lies
Karl
As I pull Gianna into the dimly lit study, the atmosphere is filled with a tension that’s been brewing for
weeks now, maybe even longer. The door clicks shut behind us, sealing us off from the guests, the
judgment, and the murmurs.
For a moment, we are suspended in a bubble of silence, and I finally address what’s been gnawing at
me.
“A pathetic housemaid?” I ask.
Gianna shoots me a quizzical look, but I can see the gears turning in her head. She’s trying not to
display emotion, which is just a dead giveaway. “A… what?” she asks, taking a step back.
I take another step toward her, closing the gap once again. “Don’t play dumb,” I growl. “Is that really
what you called her?”
“Called who?” Gianna’s voice begins to rise ever so slightly.
“Abby, of course,” I say, folding my arms across my chest.
For a few moments, Gianna is silent. Then, mustering a tense smile, she cocks her head to the side.
“I’m sorry, Karl, but I have no clue what you’re talking about.”
I feel exasperated. Here I am, caught between my so-called ‘loyal’ secretary and the woman who I
want to win back. In the back of my mind, I can feel my wolf, urging me to go with my gut and take
Abby’s side.
“Gianna, what exactly is your issue with Abby?” The question spills out of my mouth before I can stop
it, like a tidal wave of annoyance and anger.
She avoids eye contact, feigning a look of innocence that I know is far from the truth. “Issue? Karl, I
have no idea what you’re talking about. You must be mistaken.”
I lock my gaze onto hers, narrowing my eyes. “Don’t lie, Gianna. It doesn’t suit you. Do you honestly
think I didn’t notice your little performance tonight? Trying to take her seat? Making faces? Refusing to
touch the food?”
She meets my gaze for a moment, her eyes twi nkling with a hint of defiance before looking away. “I
don’t have a ‘problem’ with Abby. I’m simply cautious, that’s all. Isn’t that what you pay me for? To be
vigilant for you?”
