CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Dropping her hand from the doorknob, Natalie stalked toward Jacqueline. “The same can be said of you, Ms. Graham. Besides, you even wandered around, traipsing right into my husband's study.”

She lifted the cup of coffee in her hand while explaining, “Oh, I was just feeling thirsty just now, so I went downstairs to get some water. I noticed that Shane wasn't in bed yet, so I made him a cup of coffee and brought it to him. Please don't take any offense at me, Ms. Smith.”
