Chapter 161: An Unusual Request

Barely ten minutes later, Landon is letting me into his apartment. He leads me into the sitting room where Aurora is reading a book.

"How's the shoulder, Aurora?" I ask politely.

I don't really know Aurora. In fact, I think this might be the first time we've actually met but I've heard a lot about her. I've even betted on the outcome of her and Landon's relationship with the rest of the office.

"Could be better." She laughs melodically and there's something slightly familiar to the sound. "Thank you for looking after the company for Landon. He hasn't let me out of his sight so work would have been a bit of a challenge."

I'm not sure if she's really grateful or if Landon's ever present bossiness is beginning to irritate her.

"Do you feel a bit suffocated?" I wink at her.

"Just a tad," she tells me impishly. "I'm being very well looked after..."

"Would you like me to take him away for the evening?"

"Oh, would you?" Her eyes are alight with mischief.
