Chapter 27

Reader's POV

It's been a few months since Jack and I got together, I cannot lie...It's been difficult to keep up appearances in my job as well as in my own house.
My next door neighbor has been trying to be my friend, I know now his name is Carter. But I can't afford to let him get close.

I had been working within the company to bring down the serial killer, but I prevented any clues to be obvious. So that later I could remove them from the notes as well as change the reports, it's not being a dirty cop...it's protecting the one I love, right?
It's what I wanted to think any way.

Suddenly I heard a knock at the office door, Rowan placed his papers down and looked over at his door.
"Come in." He said in a firm and serious tone. The door opened up and it was the mail person, she walked over to him and placed a stack of papers at the boss' desk. Before she walked back to her cart and came back over to me with an envelope.

"Thank you." I said as I gave her a soft smile, she smiled back and took her leave. She closed the door and Rowan and I went back to our own thing. I looked at the envelope and raised an eyebrow briefly, I wasn't expecting anything right now. 
I flipped it over and noticed a wax stamp, with a sigil that was not known to me.

I took a moment before I opened up the letter, I pulled out a paper within the envelope and I opened it up. It was a letter written in red ink, or I hope it's just ink.

-Letter-

Dear Y/N,

It's been a while sweetheart, we need to talk. In person that is. I will be at your house by the time you get out of work, and make sure it's a one on one talk.
Unless you want your little relationship broadcasted all over the news outlets. I don't mean to threaten you but I have to make sure no one eavesdrops on our conversation.

See you soon.
Your friend and confidant,
CP

I folded up the letter yet again and I tried my best not to show any emotions, even if on the inside I wanted to freak out. Why now? What does this person, creature or thing want with me?
How could this CP have known of me and Jack's relationship?! I then remembered the noise that LJ had heard the day he confessed, oh god...did someone hear our conversation?

But its been a few months since then, why wait until now to talk? It just nothing makes sense. My thoughts were soon interrupted by Rowan speaking.
"I am going to grab some lunch, do you want to come?" he asked as he stood up from his desk. I thought about it for a moment before I nodded, some food would do some good right about now.

I placed the letter into my bag and I grabbed my things before walking out with my boss, this wasn't common between us because the office loves gossip. Rumors were going around about me and the boss being together, even when both of us have disproved this.
But office drama is never ending no matter what we do, so we have given up in fighting them.

We left the building and walked over to our local coffee shop, and we took a seat on the patio. The day was nice and sunny, why not enjoy it?
The waiter came by and took our order and then left to get our food and drinks.

"Y/N may I ask you something personal?" Rowan asked as he raised an eyebrow for a moment. I looked over at him and tilted my head briefly, I thought we weren't allowed to make our talks about personal issues. Only professional conversation.
