"How do I look? Presentable?" After that unexpected kiss, she worried her disheveled appearance might be noticeable. "Do I look like a cool, aloof boss?" Caden's gaze roamed over her, from her blouse to her flushed cheeks.
"Hmm... I'm not sure about aloof, but you certainly look tempting." She shot him a look, playfully swatting his shoulder.
"Be serious." "I am being serious." His eyes softened.
"No matter how put-together you look, I can't forget how you were last night" Alicia felt her cheeks warm.
