I was deep in thought at my desk when the door swung open and Adéle stepped in without any warning. I felt a mix of irritation and surprise. I was still working on the case at hand, and her sudden presence rattled my focus. I looked up, my eyes narrowing as she walked toward me with a soft, confident stride.
"Adéle, what are you doing here?" I asked, my tone more curt than I had intended. I could feel my heart pounding, not from the case, but from the way she moved, like she knew exactly how to stir up my emotions.
She leaned in close, her voice a low whisper that brushed against my ear. "I know you are troubled, Gonzalo," she said, her words dripping with a seductive tone. "Maybe you need a distraction tonight, a break from all these heavy thoughts." Her warm breath sent a shiver down my spine, even as I tried to keep my mind on my work.
