Bab 111: Chapter 111

Lexi

I followed Carlton as we left his office, with him carrying his coat and the baby bag, and me holding Sam. Even though he'd slowed down his steps for me, I made sure to walk just behind him instead of beside him. Not only because I didn't want the people we passed to get the wrong idea, but also because I found Carlton intimidating.

Even when he smiled, it was hard not to think that way. He was my boss, he was a few years older, and his sudden interest in me made me nervous, even though I was really great with his son. I think I'd have handled it better if he'd just looked down on me and ignored me like Alec did, since I'd expected that ever since I heard he would be coming to the office.
