Simon tactfully walked out and considerately closed the door behind him.
Two hours later, Jared Quinn returned to the office, but what he saw was a scene of a certain woman sleeping soundly, with the evening gown still quietly resting in the gift box.
The girl on the sofa was lying there, her graceful curves enchanting, with two slender, fair legs resting straight on the sofa.

Melody Thorne woke up slowly after being patted, coming to her senses when she saw the handsome, cold face above her. She had just intended to take a nap but ended up oversleeping.
She immediately sat up, only to realize something was amiss. She looked down and saw that a button on her shirt had somehow come undone. She looked up to see Jared Quinn gazing at her with deep, meaningful eyes.
