I retracted my hand from the door and walked over to the window. Peering through the blinds, I caught sight of something that made my heart race.
Inside the office, Lucas was sitting at his desk, and a woman had both arms wrapped around his neck.
Though I could only see her back, I immediately recognized her. It was Riley, Lucas's stepmother's daughter.
Lucas's face was obscured by her head, and from my angle, it looked like they were kissing intimately.
My heart sank to the coldest depths.
I walked to the door and twisted the handle, opening it without hesitation. I knew he didn't lock the door.
Both of them looked over at me. Lucas was clearly surprised, momentarily frozen by my sudden appearance.
Riley only paused for a moment, her hands still resting on Lucas's shirt, tying his tie.
So, she was just helping him with his tie.
I stepped in slowly, trying to act composed. In moments like this, the more calm you appeared, the stronger you seemed.
