I snapped out of my daze and replied, "I'm keeping up, I'm keeping up."

If I don't walk behind you, how can I slowly appreciate your amazing waist-to-hip ratio!

Walking beside him is also nice, those pecs look great up close too!

"John."

I turned my head at the sound, and there was Lucas Barnes!

Why can't this annoying guy just disappear!

"Lucas, what brings you here?"

"It's about the project we were working on last time, I have some questions."

"I'm just heading back, shall we go together?"

"Sure."

After speaking, Lucas Barnes shot me a challenging look and then squeezed himself between John Carter and me.

I've never hated a man so much!

I mentally punish myself with a drink for previously thinking his body was attractive.

In John Carter’s office, there was none of the accidental touches or suggestive glances I imagined.

All I saw were two men, heads together, deeply engrossed in their project.

I was nothing but a 250-watt light bulb.

Later, Lucas Barnes received a call and said he had to leave.

I was happy for only a few seconds before he grabbed me and took me away.

He threatened to use his last tactic if I didn't leave.

Once outside the building, I couldn't hold back any longer.
