“Next time,” I promised, already backing toward the public elevators where other employees waited. “We need to ease into this, remember?”
Alexander’s jaw tightened, but he nodded curtly. “Tonight. My place. Seven o’clock.”
It wasn’t a question. I gave him a small smile and turned away, feeling his eyes on me until the elevator doors closed.
The marketing department buzzed with morning energy when I arrived. Nova was already at her desk, typing furiously.
“Morning,” I called, setting my bag down.
She glanced up, eyes narrowing. “You look different.”
