Liam's POV
"She's something else, isn't she?" Damian's smug voice broke through my daze.
I tore my eyes away from the closed door, where I could still picture her—Hazel Vance, standing tall and poised in that perfectly fitted navy dress, her striking green eyes meeting mine with a mix of nervousness and determination. Her long black hair was pulled up, exposing the elegant curve of her neck.
"Who?" I asked, feigning disinterest.
Damian laughed, dropping into one of the chairs opposite my desk. "Don't play dumb, Sterling. Your new assistant. I saw your face when you looked at her."
"I have no idea what you're talking about." I busied myself with unpacking my laptop, refusing to acknowledge how my heart had nearly stopped when I'd first seen her.
"The great Liam Sterling, struck speechless by a woman. Never thought I'd see the day." Damian leaned back, grinning. "Those green eyes alone could stop traffic."
I shot him a warning glare. "She's an employee, Damian."
