We didn't always have visitors in the firm so when the chime at the door signaled a visitor entering the office, all heads turned to it. The blood on my face drained when I saw who it was.

Lukas got up from his seat to greet the guest, he had no idea who she was. Everyone around here didn't know who she was.

"Um, hi," she smiled at Lukas. "Is Georgina Harrington here?"

Lukas's smile wavered, he must be wondering why Carmella Coen was looking for me.

Just like the last time I saw Carmella, I was rooted to my spot, unable to do or say something, anything. My heart was thundering so loudly, I was surprised it didn't escape my chest. Fear and adrenaline coursed through me. I was thankful for the computer's monitor covering my face, otherwise she would see me right away.

Fight or flight. I had to make a decision, and quickly.

"Yes, she's here," I heard Lukas say. "May I get your name?"

"Carmella Coen. Can I speak with her?"

No! I wanted to scream and run away but it was too late. Because Lukas was making his way to my table. He tapped me on the shoulder.

"Georgie, someone is here to see you." He frowned when he saw my face. "You look a bit pale, are you okay?"

A nod was the only response I could manage at the moment. I was silent for a long time.

"Someone named Carmella would like to see you," Lukas repeated.

"Alright," my voice was barely a whisper. I stood up from my seat and walked towards her.

As much as I hated to admit this, Carmella Coen was pretty, no, not just pretty but beautiful. She had the grace and confidence of someone who knew every guy's eyes was on her. Her long blond hair was streaked with highlights. Her red business suit made her all the more regal. I forced myself to meet her gaze, to not back down even if she intimidated the hell out of me.

I had no idea why she was here. There was just no reason for her to come here, unless something happened to Matt. Was he dead?

"What do you want?" I tried my best to add bitterness to my voice even if I was intimidated.

"G-georgie. Hi," she stuttered. My brow quirked up. I didn't expect she would be flustered. Why should she be? She was the one who one upped me by stealing my boyfriend behind my back. If she had the guts to pull that off, she shouldn't be the one fidgeting now.

"What do you want?" I repeated. If small talk was what she was after, I didn't have time for her, now or ever.

"Um, I know you're probably busy but can we talk?"
