Since the board meeting, his attitude had softened slightly but the tension between them was still there.
"Mr. Grey?" she said very carefully, stepping inside.
"Miss Hart." Alexander said looking up from his desk, his expression was unreadable.
"I have the follow-up notes from yesterday's meeting," Emily said, placing the folder on his desk.
"Leave them there," he said sharply, returning to his work.
"Is there anything else you need?" Emily pressed.
Alexander paused, his pen was over the paper.
For a moment, he seemed to fight with something before he put the pen down and resting back in his chair.
