Jenna handed him back his credit card with a smile. “Is there anything else I can help you with today?”

Alexander glanced at his watch. “No, that will be all. Thank you for your assistance.”

“I’m not overthinking,” I protested. “I’m just... processing.”

“Processing what? That you now have a wardrobe befitting your position?”

I sighed. “It’s just a lot of money, Mr. Knight.”

“Money I can easily afford,” he reminded me.

We reached his car, and he opened the passenger door for me. As I slid into the seat, his hand brushed against my lower back, a touch so light it could have been accidental if not for the heat in his eyes.
