As the days went by, Juliet settled into her new role, impressing Leonard and the rest of the team with her efficiency and charm. However, she couldn't shake off the feeling that Leonard was watching her, his eyes lingering on her curves.
One afternoon, as Juliet was working on a project, Leonard emerged from his office, looking for a file. As he approached her desk, his proximity made Juliet's heart skip a beat.
"Juliet, have you seen the Smithson report?" Leonard asked, his voice low and husky.
Juliet nodded, trying to sound calm. "Yes, Mr. Grant. It's right here."
As she handed him the file, their fingers touched, sending a spark of electricity through Juliet's body. Leonard's eyes locked onto hers, and for a moment, they just stared at each other.
The tension between them was palpable, and Juliet felt her face grow hot. She quickly looked away, trying to compose herself.
"I'll, uh, get back to work," Juliet stammered.
Leonard nodded, his expression unreadable. "Yes, do that."
As he returned to his office, Juliet couldn't help but wonder if she had imagined the intensity between them. But the way Leonard's eyes had lingered on hers told her otherwise.
Things were starting to get intense between them, and Juliet wasn't sure how to process her feelings.
It made her uncomfortable, she wasn't sure how to process the whole situation so it felt like she was crossing boundaries.
So she decided that she was going to confront her boss.
