But in a place like this, where they'd be running into each other constantly, Aurora forced herself to lift her head and respond with a calm, detached expression. "Everett, long time no see."
Yeah right, she thought, like it's been that long—they saw each other just a few days ago!
Everett was quietly satisfied with her reaction. This little woman was clearly flustered, no matter how hard she tried to hide it. His eyes didn't miss a thing.
"Let's work well together, Miss Wilson," Everett said, reaching out a long, steady hand.
Aurora really wanted to slap him.
What's with the act? The guy had already touched her—and now he was pretending they were total strangers? Seriously?
Still, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and extend her hand. "Looking forward to it."
Their hands met, and all eyes were on them. Everett deliberately tightened his grip, and Aurora tried to pull away several times, but couldn't. Her face flushed from the struggle.
