Aren't you all dressed up?" Derek gave Anna an infuriating smirk. She could have slapped him. He purposely tried to make her feel this way. She wanted to bring his ego down to the ground. "Hello, Derek. I'm here, so what now? Do we exchange pleasantries and pretend to be friends?" "Aren't you in a mood? And yes, I'd say that's exactly what we should do." "You lead and I'll follow your example, then." "You're a saucy gal, aren't you?" "Only sometimes." Anna directed an insincere smile his way. He laughed, and it surprised her. His laugh was warm and honest. It slid through her like warm honey. She did not expect a man like him to have a laugh quite like that.
