Connor's eyes darkened a bit. Chloe, on the other hand, had already packed up and walked over.

"No overtime today?" she asked.

Connor replied, "I missed you, just wanted to drop by and see you."

A smile spread across Chloe's face. She stood on her tiptoes and gave Connor a quick peck on the lips. "I missed you too," she said.

Grant saw this and his gaze intensified. He then said, "I'll head back to the office. You two carry on." But instead of heading for the door, he moved towards a wall on the left side of the office. Only then did Connor notice that there was a hidden door in that wall. After Grant left, Connor's expression soured. "Your offices are connected?" he asked.

Chloe nodded casually. "Grant's office is next door. He said he set this office up for me years ago and has kept it for me ever since."
