Megan's frown deepened. She instantly recalled Lorie's warning about Anne cozying up to Augustine. Suspicion immediately sparked in her chest.
Augustine fought the urge to leap from his chair and gather Anne into his arms, to declare his love for her in front of Megan and wipe away every trace of doubt. But he restrained himself, reminding himself of the promise he made to Anne.
He kept his expression cool and professional as he picked up the documents she had placed on his desk. After a quick glance, he set them down with a composed nod.
"So, you are the new secretary," he drawled. "I hope you won't disappoint me like the previous one did."
Anne gave him a bright, confident smile. "I'll make sure you have no complaints, sir."
