Chapter 12

• To distract herself from Andrew, Roxy decides to open the laptop and review the flagged emails and invoices for accounts from the previous month. She recognizes the need to do this at work where she has better access to files. Organizing the documents, she creates a folder and moves them inside. Additionally, she plans to research the pricing related to the invoiced items. As time passes, Roxy finds herself flagging more and more emails for attention.
• Suddenly, her phone rings, displaying a familiar but unsaved number. Opting to ignore the call, she focuses back on her computer. Moments later, her phone pings with a text message. Opening it, she discovers the message, "Ignoring my calls already?" Oh no, it was Andrew.
• Without hesitation, Roxy promptly returns his call, not bothering to respond to his text message. "Hello," she hears his deep voice say on the other end, sending shivers down her spine. She explains that she didn't answer earlier because she didn't have the number saved, and mentions her habit of not answering unknown numbers. Andrew playfully teases her, referring to her as a "bad girl" and calling her "kitten," leaving Roxy both intrigued and curious about his choice of names.
