Under the dim light, every little movement of hers captivated him.

Fortunately, Arabella had been absorbed in the report and hadn't looked up.
Gordon felt his face warm up, turning to his men, "You guys keep watch outside. Ms. Bella and | are enough here." "Yes, sir’ the four bodyguards stepped out.
