“We’re at work.”
“Yes.”
“So this is professional.”
“Mhm.”
“You’re still staring at me.”
“You’re beautiful.”
My heart almost collapsed again.
“This is harassment.”
“You seem comfortable with it.”
I narrowed my eyes at him weakly.
Then finally—
very quickly—
I leaned down and pressed a soft kiss against his cheek.
Tiny.
Fast.
Warm.
Adrian froze completely.
Actually froze.
And somehow that made me smile instantly.
“There,” I whispered proudly. “Professional greeting.”
Adrian looked genuinely stunned for one dangerous second before slowly turning his head toward me.
“Elena.”
“What?”
“You can’t do that and expect me to function normally afterward.”
Victory.
I grinned immediately before handing him his coffee.
“Drink this before your shareholders suffer.”
A quiet laugh
