Ryan POV
When I stepped into the office, Scarlett looked different today.
The red dress suited her. So did the necklace.
When she smiled at me, my chest tightened.
Oh my God, if she looked at me like that one more time, my heart’s literally gonna jump out of my chest.
I forced a polite little smile, kept it professional, and didn't make it too obvious, then forced myself to keep walking. I couldn’t stand there staring at her like an i***t.
By the time I reached my office, I finally let out the breath I’d been holding.
She looked incredible, gorgeous.
The fact that she wore the necklace the very next day made it hard not to wonder if she liked it because I had picked it out.
I told myself not to read too much into it.
Still, the thought stayed with me.
