But what about your own life? Have you got any time to ponder that?” “What are you talking about?” Melissa played innocent but as she got herself a sandwich, she topped up his coffee.
Marcus observed her every move.
After a moment, he grinned and let the topic drop.
Melissa suggested, “You head to the office first. I'l stick around until Julie arrives. And I'l keep an eye on Jessie too”
