Chapter 172

The moment Summer Knight looked up, her gaze met a sharply defined face that practically glowed in the sunlight. Under the warm rays, Alexander Barron's striking features looked even more dazzling. His deep eyes locked onto hers with a tenderness that made her heartbeat skip a beat. "A-Al, what are you up to now?” she stammered, clearly flustered. “Nothing much. Just wondering if you were happy with how I did today, Mrs. Barron?" His voice dropped a little, carrying a subtle tease that mingled effortlessly with the gentle tension lingering between them. Summer’s brain momentarily blanked out. A rosy flush crept up her cheeks, spreading all the way to her ears. “Yeah… you did great,” she replied after a while, her voice soft and sweet. “You little goof, time to get back to work. I’ll grab those files for you." Alexander shot her a look, clearly amused. He chuckled, lightly tapped the tip of her nose, and flashed her a mischievous grin before stepping out of the office, clearly content.
