  &quot;I came to take you out for lunch,&quot; he said abruptly, moving away from her towards the window. He ran his hand through his hair in a frustrated manner.
  Mitchell breathed an air of relief. She stood up the second he moved away, for fear he might come back to crowd her again. His presence already filled her office. And every part of her consciousness.
  &quot;I m ready,&quot; she said, trying to smile at him but still yet to recover from the close encounter from earlier.
  She hoped her leg wouldn't give her away with the way they were still shaky but she wanted to get out of here. Another minute alone with him and she might be tempted to pull him to herself and claim that kiss that has been tormenting her.
  He turned away from the window to look at her. He was composed and calm without traces of the electrical surges that had happened earlier between them. It was as if he d

  &quot;Hmmm,&quot; he said with a nod, as he gently guided her to the elevator and out of it.
  &quot;I can t see your bodyguards around?&quot; She said as they came out of the elevator into the garage
  &quot;I didn t come with any,&quot; he said easily as he guided her to his car.
  &quot;I thought men like you don t move around without them?&quot; She asked 
  &quot;Hardly,&quot; He answered, holding out the car door for her to step in. Before he cycles to the other side
  &quot;So why didn t you come with any?&quot; She asked. After he had slid into his seat.

  &quot;What?&quot; She asked puzzled
  &quot;I mean; the bodyguards are for protection but I know and have seen you done a better job of that already. Twice. He said emphatically, smiling as he pulled out of the company s premises.
  &quot;You were rud

  The phone in her office rang bringing her out of her reverie. She picked it up, it was her secretary.
  &quot;Debbie?&quot; She spoke into the phone.
  &quot;You have a visitor here to see you, ma am,&quot; She rushed almost in excitement.
  &quot;Who?&quot; She queried. Her only appointment for the day had called to reschedule and she wasn t expecting anyone.
  &quot;He said it s a surprise but you d be glad to see him,&quot; she said. Still excited. And I think you d be ma am,&quot; She added.

  &quot;Show him in,&quot; she said, before replacing the receiver.
  A knock came on her door. Before it opened.
  &quot;Come...&quot; She stopped, seeing the object of her thought fill the doorway. She blinked several times to be sure she
