Miller's eyes flickered once toward the oversized blazer hanging off her shoulders that she had arrived in.“I appreciate you taking the time to speak with me,” he continued dryly. “Though judging by the situation downstairs, I assume the welcoming committee didn’t exactly leave you much time to recover.”Eloise froze instantly.Even through the exhaustion clouded her brain, years of survival instinct kicked in fast. Every warning bell in her head started screaming at once.“Internal Affairs?” she repeated carefully. “Look, Agent, if this is about the mess at the airport, my husband is already dealing with it. A federal judge is involved now. We’ve done nothing wrong.”Miller gave a small smile, though there was nothing friendly about it."Oh, this has nothing to do with Prosecutor Demoor's corruption disaster," his words were very calm, and that honestly was scaring me.I'm on the very edge of calling Abraham, but he was in a meeting with the barrister, right?

She was trapped between the unyielding wall of his chest and the hard, cold glass of the window.She wanted to turn around, to push him away, but as his thumbs lightly traced a slow, burning circle across the bare skin of her shoulders, her body betrayed her.Her body subconsciously leaned into him, bewitched by the dangerous promise of his closeness.At that moment, if he were to take her to bed, she would gladly follow. However, in the end, it couldn't happen as a knock on the door shattered their moment.The sharp knock cuts through the suffocating tension, followed by a polite voice… “Chairman, it's time,” Marcus spoke outside the door. Eloise was finally snapped out of her daze. She let out a shaky sigh, expecting Abraham to drop his hands and step back. But, he didn't
