But the instant his gaze landed on Arabella Vanderbilt, that brooding darkness vanished without a trace.
That stunning face curved into a faint smile. "Have you eaten?"
Arabella exhaled softly when she saw him.
"I've eaten."
Meanwhile, the secretary standing nearby, scared half to death, let out a breath like they'd narrowly escaped a disaster.
Joel Russo cast a brief glance at the secretary. "Prepare some desserts and tea to bring in."
"Yes, sir."
Arabella walked to his desk, her eyes slightly reddened as she looked at the man.
"You hacked my account."
Joel had a rough idea why Arabella had suddenly come to see him, but he hadn't expected her first words to be this.
He couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"What's so funny? You did hack my account."
