Chapter 81 I Want You by My Side

hurt by the thought that she didn’t want to spend every waking second with him.

“Don’t take it personally Adam. I would have been happy with my own office space

within your building if you were able to keep your hands to yourself during work

hours.” Ann smirked across at him.
