Chapter 33 Office Romance

• As I watch the event unfold around me, my thoughts are dragged back to the incident that put me directly in Cannon’s crosshairs.
• It had just been hours ago, as I prepared myself for the dinner, tugging at my brand-new dress and nibbling at my lip. As I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection, I couldn't help but feel both underdressed and out of my league, all at the same time.

At first glance, Ilovedthe way it made me feel, but after thinking about where exactly I was supposed to wear it, the nerves set in. I had ordered it online, hoping that it would be the perfect thing to wear to the work event I had coming up, but I hadn't realized just how short it was until it arrived. Just to make the situation harder, the dress had arrived two days late, so I had nothing else to wear to the gala.
