Why was he so close, invading her personal space with an intent that mirrored a lover's desire?Yet, her musings held a rational thread.

Isn't Jared an unsightly, balding man?" Naomi's astonishment left her words stumbling and incoherent."Naomi!" Neil's stern reprimand cut through the air, a signal for propriety to reclaim its place. His gaze shifted to Jared as he continued, "My daughter can be impulsive with her words. Please overlook it, Mr. Jared."Jared's aloof gaze grazed past Naomi in a fleeting manner, the disengagement happening within the span of a few heartbeats."Congratulations," Jared directed his attention toward Joseph."Yes, boss." Joseph presented a carefully prepared gift to Jared.Approaching Anthon
