Mia Grant's cheeks were still hot as she was led by the hand from that secret room.
She snapped back to her senses when she was settled onto the sofa and something cool was pressed against her cheek.
She looked up to see Silas Grant holding a cool apple to her cheek.
When he saw she was lucid again, he pulled the apple away. "Are you hungry?"
Mia shook her head. Cradling the apple he had given her, she discreetly surveyed his office.
This was her first time at the Hughes Corp, and her first time inside Silas Grant's office.
It was much bigger than she had imagined.
The office window was open a crack, and the cool air blowing in quickly dispersed the heat from her face.
Silas called his secretary to bring in some desserts for her to tide her over.
Even though she said she wasn't hungry, he said he would take her out to eat in half an hour.
Mia felt as if she were waking from a dream. Her eyes followed him as he sat down behind his desk, put on his glasses, and began to work.
