“Don’t laugh at me!”
“Who’s laughing?”Those beautiful blue eyes twinkled, and I had the urge to stomp my foot.
Instead, I steeled my spine and let my professional mask slip back into place.“What was it you needed,Mr.Price?”
The gleam in Emmett’s eyes instantly faded.“I just wanted to make sure we were okay after last night.I’m sorry if I crossed a line.I just thought?—”
“Everything is fine.Let’s just pretend it never happened.”
Hurt flickered across his face, and I immediately regretted my words.The last thing I wanted to do was hurt Emmett when he had been so supportive and kind.
But that wasn’t entirely true, was it?Thelast thingI wanted was for that kiss to destroy my career.Maybe a few hurt feelings were unavoidable.
“I’m going to drop my things off and grab a coffee.Send me an email if there’s something you need me to review?”
His brows furrowed.I felt his eyes on my back as I walked away.
It’s for the best.
I hope.

I couldn’t take it anymore.So I turned to the only person who could help me.
EMMETT
