Risky Deals and the Girl Next Door Chapter 45 Recap: The Hallway Slip

A Close Call
The previous chapter ended with a heart-pounding moment as a rival investor nearly caught the leads entering the same apartment. The quick thinking of the girl next door saved their cover, but the physical closeness required for the ruse left both of them visibly shaken.
The Contract Clause
Just before the chapter closed, the male lead revisited their original agreement. He realized that the “No Personal Involvement” clause is becoming impossible to follow, especially after she stayed late to help him finalize the projections for the upcoming merger.

A Shared Secret
Chapter 46 is expected to show the leads working through the night to prepare for the Thursday meeting. The shared exhaustion will likely lead to a rare moment of vulnerability, where the girl next door reveals the true reason she needed to enter into these “Risky Deals” in the first place.
The Jealous Rival
A new character is predicted to make an appearance in this chapter—a former business associate of the male lead who suspects there’s more than just “neighborly advice” going on. Spoilers suggest a confrontation at the office that forces the male lead to publicly defend her, further complicating their secret.
