Bella went to the appointed place to meet Simon, arriving well in advance of the scheduled meet time.
Yet again, she was shocked to see that there was already someone waiting for her instead of Simon; it was James!
Subconsciously, she wanted to leave. But James had already spotted her so she had no choice but to greet him.
“Nice to meet you. I’m James, the president of the Parker Group.”
Bella shook hands with him in a professional manner.
When James touched Bella’s soft hands, he got momentarily lost in the feeling. He remembered this feeling. He felt like he had touched her skin thousands of times before.
It was an intense moment between them, which only ended after Bella literally pulled her hand from James’ grasp.
Speaking as naturally as she could, Bella returned to business.
