‘If I leave the office now I’d bump into Anya and Jeremy! What should I do?’ thought Corinne.

Lucas looked at the panicking Corinne and thought he liked her better this way. ‘She’s way cuter like this than when she’s all huffy-puffy,’ he raised his eyebrow and said mockingly, “So the great and mighty Corinne does know how to panic as well.”
