CHAPTER 33: Do Not Delve Into The Past

  The weight of the day settled on my shoulders as I finally stopped staring in the direction of where Alexander had gone, leaving me in the hallway with many questions about his unpredictable behavior. Glancing at my watch, I realized how quickly the afternoon had flown by. A small pang of guilt stabbed at me as I remembered promising Shawn coffee sometime. Maybe next week, I thought, hoping to find the time to.

  If I wanted to get these forbidden feelings I had started to develop for Alexander out of the way, I needed to be focused on dating. Nothing in Nicola's contract had stated that I couldn't and I was certain that she would even encourage it if she knew my reasons. Not that I would ever tell her that I had started liking her brother despite explicit instructions to remain professional.
