Shadows of whispers

Chapter 16: Shadow of whispers

Damian leaned back against the leather seat of the private jet, his gaze fixed on the city skyline as they descended. The return flight from their business trip had been uneventful, but his mind was restless. Claire sat across from him, scrolling through her phone, her expression unreadable. She had been quieter than usual. He didn't know if she was simply exhausted or lost in her own thoughts. Either way, he didn't pry.

The moment the jet touched down, Damian unbuckled his seatbelt and stood. "Take the rest of the day off, Claire. You've done enough."

Claire raised an eyebrow, as if debating whether to argue, but ultimately nodded. "Alright. I'll see you tomorrow."
