Demetrius crossed his muscular arms. “Perhaps hiring you was a mistake—”
“No—” Zoe bit back her next words, but it was too late. Demetrius’s brows had lifted at her sudden outburst.
“I mean, we have an agreement in writing.”
“And you didn’t think that I would leave myself a loophole—a way out if the need arose?”
Who was this man? And what had happened to the laid-back Demetrius?
Her gut told her to get out now. That she was getting in far too deep with a man who still had a hold on her heart.
To complicate matters further, she had no job to return to. She’d already resigned from her position as interior designer for the island’s most prominent furniture store. And most importantly this job paid well—well enough to pay her mother’s bills.
Zoe was stuck.
“You still haven’t answered my question. Why did you hire me?” She watched him carefully, not sure what sort of reaction to expect.
“I wanted the best for this job. And you are the best on the island.”
Was he serious? He thought she was the best? A warmth swirled in her chest and rose to warm her cheeks. Their gazes connected and held. Her heart thudded harder, faster. She refused to acknowledge that his words meant anything to her. She was over him. Past him.
“So you just expect us to work together like … like nothing ever happened?”
