Her office attire, coupled with those sleek heels, exuded confidence and allure. She leaned back in her chair, a smile playing at the corner of her lips—a smile that felt like a warning more than anything else.
"Bailed out already?" Lilith's tone dripped with amusement. She stood up slowly, smoothing her blouse, and the officer found herself momentarily captivated by the mix of elegance and danger in her stance.
