"Try not to look so nervous," Adrian murmured as the elevator doors slid open.Naya shot him a sharp glance, clutching the strap of her handbag tighter. "I’m not nervous."She'd agreed to go with him to his office to go over the case. But she was nervous because she'd grown quite popular on social media ever since her arrest and Daniel's engagement.His smirk was faint, but infuriatingly knowing. He didn’t say anything else as he stepped out first, the faint click of his shoes echoing off the marble floors of Wolfe & Associates’ towering downtown office.The space was coldly elegant—glass walls, sleek black leather, chrome fixtures. And quiet. Too quiet, as every head in the reception area turned when they saw Adrian stride in… with her.He didn’t even slow."Morning," he said curtly to the staff, not breaking stride. "This is Ms. Rivera. She’s consulting on a case. You’ll extend her every courtesy."Naya caught the faint surprise in the eyes of the perfectly groomed associates they p

Or is he just another one of your mistakes?"She tightened the collar of Adrian’s oversized coat around her and kept walking, clutching the little pharmacy bag in her hand like it might shield her somehow.She’d only wanted five quiet minutes.
