Chapter 342
“Did you do that on purpose?” Charlotte’s cheeks turned bright red–this time from embarrassment.
“That had been an accident. A total accident! Did Scott seriously think we had been sneaking kisses in the office?” she wondered.
It wasn’t that she cared if Scott felt weird about it. What she really didn’t want was for anyone to get the wrong idea about her and Sean
Anyone at all.
Sean tilted his head slightly. “Hmm?”
