The wife they never expected CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO Peace Before The Storm

The wife they never expected CHAPTER FIFTY Four O’Clock
Xavier’s POV---Four O’ClockI should not be distracted.There are still unresolved media issues. Three pending investor calls. A legal review waiting for approval.And yet—I have reread the same document twice because all I can think about is Anna blushing in the conference room.---ProblematicVery problematic.---My ThoughtsShe looked at me like she was remembering last night again.And the fact that I noticed immediately says concerning things about my current level of self-control.---WorseThe fact that I enjoyed it says worse things.---The OfficeThe executive floor remains busy around me.Phones ringing.
