Nelissa blinked her eyes rapidly. She didn't expect anyone to recognize her.

Edward came strolling in with his coat over his shoulder. He was handsome and gorgeous.

Nelissa shook her head and glared at Edward. What was he doing here?

The client was clearly in on this and said, "Since Master Hales is here, I'll take my leave first. I will have the contract ready and sent to you tomorrow. Nice doing business with you."

Nelissa had nothing else to say. She tried to get up and shake the client’s hand but Edward had suddenly placed his hand on her hips.

Nelissa immediately bounced back into her seat and Edward whispered to her, "Sit down quietly with your injured leg. Where do you think you are going?"
