Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Spider and the Fly

VANCE’S POV

When the lift doors opened onto the seventeenth floor the next day, I was glad to be away from the buzz at the reception of the agency. I was surprised by the agitation inside the agency reception. Usually, there was a warm atmosphere in the company, but today, for some reason, everyone seemed to be under stress or preoccupied with something. Whatever was going down, I had not been briefed and did not want to know.

I was irritated and annoyed since I couldn't get back to sleep after last night's call, rolling around in bed wondering if I'd said or done something wrong. Indeed, I shouldn't have let Killian walk out of my office in anger. I wondered why it bothered me so much to see him in that state.

But what bothered me the most was how he looked at Arran. Was Killian jealous of Arran? I knew that Arran was always extra, especially when it came to my safety but how could he think that there was something between us?
