“However, I have to commend you on achieving something that I thought was impossible.” “What’s that?” “Making me like someone with the last name DuBois.”
“Besides, I have to be extra nice to you now that I know you’re Vincent’s sister. You’ve suffered enough.”
“Before you say anything else, this…” I gestured between us. “Ends now.” Amusement slid across his infuriatingly perfect face. “What’s this?” “The flirting. It’s unprofessional.” “I’m afraid flirting is part of my nature, darling.”

BREAKING: Asher Donovan rushed to hospital after car crash in north London.
Nothing repressed important feelings like a packed schedule
