When Love Turns Dangerous novel Chapter 107

Lance sat on the couch with his legs crossed. When he looked up and saw Tara walk in, he set his book down. He asked softly, "Have you decided?"

Tara set the milk down as she avoided his burning gaze. She didn't dare meet his eyes.

"How are you planning to handle my resignation?"

She still felt uneasy. More than anything, she didn't want their relationship exposed.
