“And who are you supposed to be?” She gave Zane a cool once-over. “Just some pretty boy with a nice face.

he knows what you’re doing at a hotel? Maybe you’re selling your ass.

“Since you walked in, you haven’t told me who you are or what makes you so important.

“Other than that pretty face, you’ve got nothing I’d want. Why would I bother lying to you?”

Nora looked at his handsome face again, the kind that was actually pretty easy on the eyes, and shook her head in disgust. “What a waste of a good-looking face.”

Her string of insults had Zane shaking with rage, and he wanted to blow up at her. But she’d also called him good-looking three times in a row! All of a sudden, his towering rage just fizzled out.

He couldn’t stay mad. He turned away with a huff. “I’m not taking your word for it. I’ll have someone pull the security footage.”

That made Nora feel a little better. “Oh, you know to check the footage? So you’re not all looks and no brains. There’s hope for you yet.”

She’d called him good-looking again! Zane blushed, and his anger was gone for good. But he was too proud to show it, so he turned his head away and huffed again.

Nora watched him turn beet red, completely baffled. Wait. What is he blushing about?

Is he a masochist or something? Did he actually like that? Nora fell silent.

Cordelia didn’t get why he was blushing either. Then, a thought hit her, and she froze. He can’t have fallen for Nora at first sight, can he?

She lowered her voice and reminded him, “Zane, Nora’s married.”

Zane took another look at Nora. She was gorgeous, every bit as good-looking as he was. She’s already married? She looks so young.

What lucky bastard got to her first? He didn’t like that one bit,

Zane went stone-faced. “Oh.”

Cordelia could see that he was upset, and she got another jolt. She couldn’t let Zane fall for Nora.

She hurried to change the subject. “Zane, why don’t you sit down?

“Nora and I just had a little misunderstanding. It’s nothing. Don’t hold it against her. Let’s not hold up today’s conference.”

That brought Zane right back to the point, and he got annoyed all over again. He glared at Nora. “Don’t try to change the subject. Whether you saved anyone or not, you had no right to treat Dr. Blithe like that.

“She’s still sticking up for you! Apologize to her!”

Nora noticed that even his glare didn’t have much bite, so she shrugged. “No. I treat people the way they

She wants to put me up on a pedestal so everyone will hate me. Then she can’t blame me for not playing nice!”

“You-” Zane started.
