“Where exactly?” Connor asked innocently.
“Right over there,” I instinctively turned my head to point. My lips accidentally brushed against Connor’s lips in the process.
I suddenly sprang up from my chair with a sharp intake of breath. “Connor Rivers!”
He had moved even closer just then, which was why my lips touched his when I turned my head. I became genuinely angry.
“Can you please stop causing trouble here? I’m very busy and don’t have time to play around with you.”
Seeing that I was truly upset, Connor restrained himself somewhat. He picked up the pile of waste paper from the desk, his tone carrying a coaxing gentleness.
“Lawyer Winters, don’t be angry. I really didn’t see it just now.”
“Liar!” My face turned bright red, and my voice rose several notes in frustration.
