CHAPTER 93: Burning Passion

  I was almost at my office when I made a swift turn. I couldn't let another moment pass with Alexander thinking something was going on with me and Shawn.

  Reaching Alexander's office floor, I took a deep breath, willing my racing heart to slow down. I knew that it was probably in my best interest to try to put as much distance between myself and Alexander if I wanted to still salvage the situation when Nicola found out that I'd broken my word, but this was not about rationality anymore. I was in love and I couldn't have Alexander thinking the worst of me.

  Bursting into Alexander's office, I found him deep in conversation with Vance. Their hushed tones and furrowed brows hinted at a serious discussion. My arrival seemed to throw them off balance.

  Alexander paused, surprise flickering across his features. He exchanged a glance with Vance, a silent question hanging between them.
