Realizing she was only clad in her underwear under the blanket, feeling a mix of confusion and concern, Davina pressed her body closer to the blanket that enveloped her.
When did Damian arrive at her studio apartment? How did he manage to get in? Had he broken the lock on the door?
Damian had drifted off to sleep while sitting up, but his sensitive nature immediately roused him when he felt Davina's head move.
"Hey, you're awake," Damian rasped, the sound of a just-woken voice.
"Yeah," Davina blinked, suddenly feeling self-conscious in front of Damian.
Without removing the blanket that covered her, Davina quickly adjusted her position to sit. Damian's thighs must have gone numb from supporting her head all night.

I tried my hand at it, but it didn't go well. I've never learned golf before," Davina tried to convey the truth, although it was not entirely honest."Played golf together?" Damian frowned."Yes. Caroline lent me her golf club. If you don't believe me, you can ask her," Davina insisted."Then what did you talk about?" Damian was still unsatisfied with Davina's answer."Your father asked me about my work and suggested I play golf. After that, I stopped for an ice cream before returning to the studio apartment.

He couldn't help but be drawn to her outfit today - a short shirt and skirt that exuded sexiness."So, Director Marcel, is spreading rumors about CEO Damian's wedding part of your plan? It seems like the whole employee is reacting strongly," Maggie began, playing her role."You've figured it out?" Marcel smirked."I would have to be a fool not to," Maggie replied, moving closer to Marcel."Does Damian know that you're secretly taking pictures of him?" Marcel inquired."Of course not. CEO Damian is too preoccupied with the new product launch deadline. He doesn't have time to worry about me," Maggie explained.Marcel smiled with satisfaction as Maggie boldly approached him. He

I knew I could count on you," Damian praised, a satisfied smirk playing on his lips as he observed the data displayed on his laptop screen."But for now, maintain your role until the game is complete.

In this situation, Maggie's identity was more at risk than his own. Only Damian knew that Maggie was a police detective."Please, have a seat wherever you feel comfortable. What brings you here?" Damian inquired.Maggie stood confidently before Damian's desk, as standing for extended periods was second nature to a cop."Marcel mentioned that he would receive the company's money within three months at the latest.
