Demon

chapter 103

The next day Damon returned to work. He just wanted to see Clara, he had missed her yet when she entered, she placed a coffee down and simply asked what she needed to do today.

"Seriously Clara? Has something happened?" Damon asked concerned for her wellbeing.

"Nothing has happened " Clara replied.

Damon walked towards her, he went to kiss her but she took a step back.
"We're in work. It would be unprofessional " she stated.

"I'm the boss and this is my office, no one is going to walk in" Damon didn't understand her behaviour.

"It doesn't matter it's unprofessional. I rather just do my job"

Damon nodded "okay Clara" he then gave her several tasks for the day.

For almost the rest of the day, Damon noticed Clara had distanced herself from him.

Maybe it was for the best right now because he knew he needed to tell her who had her kidnapped at some point.

It only changed slightly in the evening when Callum turned up whilst Clara was handing in the files in to Damon.
"If it isn't my favourite couple" Callum announced which earned him a look from Damon.

"You're back. It's been ages, let me have this okay" Callum said.

"What do you want Callum"  Damon was already done with Callum.

"Well we don't have results from the spiking. Sorry Clara. However we should celebrate your return. A few drinks at your place"

"What the hell, you apologize for not being able to find someone for spiking he then suggest drinks" Damon said. He was struggling to control his anger and annoyance. His glare had Callum regretting his choice of wording.

"We found software , it's crackable but you'll need to do it as you have access to everything, we don't" Callum replied clarifying they had made progress with the search.

"What do you mean" Damon asked. He knew exactly what Callum was implying but he hoped Callum was just being stupid.

"Well my guess is when we got rid of the mole he figured Clara was behind catching him and he could have had a partner who he told and they were the ones to spike Clara as revenge" Callum explained.

Damon was furious. He controlled the mafia and yet someone inside had done this. It explained why it had taken so long to find the person responsible. Everyone in the Mafia was able to encrypt any CCTV footage in case they were spotted and needed to get rid of any evidence. They all had a unique code that allowed them to do it, and only Damon had access to it.

Again his mind didn't go to Olivia, it went to several men in the Mafia who he knew to be at his club that night.

Clara didn't know how to respond, she knew it was Olivia but she was waiting for Damon to figure it out. She didn't want to risk him not believing her.

"Come on, you can get the footage tommorow first thing and tonight we can celebrate you coming back.what's the worst that could happen. You, Clara, Mason, me and Liv"

"No thanks" Damon said. There was nothing to celebrate.

"I think it's a good idea" Clara replied deciding she might be able to catch Olivia in the act. She was only trying to speed up the process. But a part of her knew it was down to her scheming.

"You've been quiet all day and suddenly you want to drink" Damon said.

"I was just taking my job seriously" Clara said making sure her face was blank and held no emotions. Damon could read facial expressions to well.
