That startling and revelatory thought scared and excited Alex at the same time and he deliberately strolled back around his desk to get himself under control. Taking a deep breath, he noticed Detective Riley enter the room with an impassive expression on his face.
"This will only take a moment. I'd just like to get some information regarding your secretary."
"I'm sure HR or Mrs. Billings can help you out-" He picked up the phone to ask his secretary why he wasn't informed of the Detective's arrival.
"I'm pretty sure your secretary's personal preferences and behavioral traits aren't in those files. And I saw Mrs. Billings just run to the ladies'. Also, I'm sure you'd like to keep this conversation private, so-"
He motioned to Cat who was still standing by the door looking interested in the conversation. But as soon as Alex's eyes met hers, she wiped all expression from her face.
"I was just leaving."
