Chapter 182 Finding Willow (Viii)

• Nicholas POV:
• Her hands were shaking on her lap, but I didn't care. I kept my eyes on her, waiting for her answer.
• "Geoffrey's assistant sent me the files after she'd gone through them. There was some miscommunication between us. The one she picked wasn't the one I assumed she meant when I sent out the award letter. We didn't figure it out until a few days later." She finally looked up at me. "You were still out of town and I was just trying to take initiative. I tried to explain as courteously as I could that a mistake had been made."
