Not a single one.I tried to get my mind to work, tried to think of some sort of response that would rectify this situation, but I couldn’t make my mouth work any better than my brain.He’d caught me red-handed—I had the papers spread out before me, papers I clearly had no reason to be looking at. I’d snuck back into Gentry’s office earlier and found some banking statements that weren’t behind locked file drawers. I couldn’t risk taking the time to read them in the office, where I wasn’t supposed to be, so I’d taken them with me and come out here in private to scan them before I returned them to their proper place.I’d managed to think of semi-plausible excuses for every other time he’d caught me, but I couldn’t think of anything at all right now. I just stared at him, my lips slightly parted.He looked gorgeous, relaxed, and almost amused—all of which infuriated me. If I was going to be found out, then he could at least look like he was taking it seriously.It was very serious to me.Since he was waiting for an answer, I finally said, “It’s none of your business.”It wasn’t the brightest or the most original response I’d ever come up with, but at least it was something to say.His lips tilted up just slightly, his green eyes warming.
