Chapter 42

Daniel did not look happy. He was angry. He looked even angrier than he did last night. Well… She was angry too. Emma thought. And it was all his fault. Good thing he shared some of that anger.

“I’m sorry I made you come late, Emma,” Tom said as he walked beside her. “The boss doesn’t look so happy today.”

“It’s alright,” she replied. “I can handle, Mr. Rohan.”

“You know it’s really good to hear you say that… Because I’m not walking up there with you. You are on your own, sweetheart,” he said as he moved away from her.

Emma rolled her eyes. Now she was going to face him alone. Daniel looked even more intimidating as she got closer. His upper body thrust back at the lean hips, his legs spread apart. His stare darkened as Emma approached.

“Good morning, Mr. Barrett,” she said.

Emma glanced at Barrett and stalked past Daniel.
