Constantinou's Mistress
“There shouldn’t be anyone in the place. Not at this time of the night, almost ten-thirty, and certainly not on this day of all days. She slowly pushed back the chair, feeling horribly vulnerable in the brightly lit room, the only lit room in the entire building. Anyone could be approaching, looking in at her, and she wouldn’t be able to see a thing.
Imposing as Nick Constantinou’s office was, there was nowhere to hide. No convenient empty cupboards or, for that matter, thick velvet curtains. Th...e windows, on the second floor of the smoked-glass building, were bare of handy thick curtains and somehow trying to slip her frame, slight though it was, behind the pale wooden shutters would have been ludicrous.
In fact, the whole idea of hiding was ludicrous. Lucy Reid was far too sensible a person to entertain thoughts of robbers and muggers.
She cleared her throat and briskly made her way to the thick door that connected Nick Constantinou’s office to her own. Then she tiptoed into the enveloping darkness of her own office and peered tentatively out of the door, not expecting to see anything at all.MoreLess
