After the Fall A Leap into a Stranger's Arms novel Chapter 57

Catherine gave her assistant a quick pat on the shoulder. “Thanks, I was just curious.”

Was there even a need to win him over? He was already hers.

Once the assistant left, Catherine propped her chin in her hand, lost in thought. She hadn’t expected Lawrence to be such a heartthrob at work. But honestly, with that face, that body, that whole vibe, it was no wonder he had everyone swooning.

Thinking it over, she figured it was best to keep their marriage under wraps for now. She was still new, still finding her footing. The last thing she needed was to become office gossip before she’d even settled in.

Around noon, Lawrence texted her. She slipped into a private dining room at the restaurant across the street, finding him already there, alone.

Lawrence was lounging on the sofa, looking way too good for his own good. Catherine sat down and couldn’t help teasing him. “So, Lawrence, turns out you’re pretty popular at the office. I heard all the women are after you.”

Lawrence grinned and shook his head. “It’s your first day, and you’re already digging into my secrets?”

She made a face, pretending to be annoyed. “So, are you going to admit it? There are a ton of women chasing you, right?”

He narrowed his eyes, giving her a look that made her heart skip. “Are you jealous?”

“Not at all,” she said, but the smile tugging at her lips gave her away. She leaned in, lowering her voice. “I heard Laura from PR even brought you coffee herself.”

“I turned her down,” he replied, sipping his tea like it was no big deal.

“You’re my husband. Don’t even think about letting someone else get close,” Catherine said, not bothering to hide the playful possessiveness in her voice.

Lawrence’s lips curved. “Alright, I’m only yours. No one else.”

His gaze was so intense that Catherine felt her cheeks heat up. She put on a stubborn front. “Just remember, I’ve got people watching you.”

“Okay,” Lawrence replied, his eyes softening with a smile that felt warmer than sunlight after rain.
