More precisely he was wearing black dress pants but his upper body was bare
From her quick glance earlier his skin was a healthy tan his chest broad and strong his shoulders wide and his waist narrow The defined six pack abs and perfect V line leading down into his pants stirred her imagination wildly sending her mind spinning
The visual impact was overwhelming After three years of being single Halsey felt her head buzzing as if overloaded
Now with Shaun standing just behind her speaking in such a deep magnetic voice she felt her knees going weak
S Sorry Halsey stammered
Did you need something Shaun asked
She slowly turned to face him eyes downcast too shy to meet his gaze Your phone
Shaun took the phone and pressed the answer button Hello
Mr Lane there san urgent document that needs your signature at the office
Halsey heard a woman s voice on the other end She figured it was his secretary reporting on work

A bold thought suddenly sparked in her mind
Shaun hung up the phone He noticed her staring and curled his lips into a small smile What are you looking at
What happened to your face Halsey blurted out
He hesitated Why the sudden question
“Didyougethurt badlyandruinyourface?Whatdidyoulooklikebefore?”
Shaun was silent for a few seconds Then he said That s a personal matter I don to we you an answer That question is a bit too
forward.”
Halsey knew she was crossing a line Shaun s injuries were severe noone wanted to reopen those wounds
Still she had to ask Why won t you answer me What did you look like before Her voice was urgent
Shaun laughed softly Why do you care so much about my private life It s like you really think I m your boyfriend Or are you hoping to be my girlfriend
Her words caught in her throat I
Curiosity killed the cat Some questions are better left unasked I m going out now
