After his brief comparison, Lucian glanced all over her again, his lips slowly curling up with satisfaction and appreciation.
Emily, noticing his hawk-like gaze on her, felt her breath hitch. Everyone else had said she was looking good, including her bestie Melissa who couldn't hide her excitement, but Lucian's gaze made her think otherwise.
She couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of their words. Maybe they had actually lied to her to make sure she didn't get offended.
A thought that made her want to go back to the mirror and confirm the verdict again.
She would have asked him, but she couldn't possibly ask her boss how she looked, since she was not seeking his admiration, and their relationship was basically professional. More so was the fact they had just met.
Emily's pulse continuously quickened at each of his gazes, from her feet to her body, her face, and hair.
"You look good," he commented effortlessly, with the seriousness of one signing a billion-dollar contract.
