steps.
    “I’m really sorry Max has been trying to reach me. I didn’t mean to be missing in action,” I say, trying my best to salvage the situation even though I was completely unaware I was to have a meeting with Max this late in the day.
    Deidra stops so abruptly I nearly bump into her. “He wants to see you privately. If he walks into the mansion he’ll be attacked by a mob of eager industry people wanting to talk to him hoping to advance their career. He doesn’t want to bring too much attention to himself or to you, so he’s waiting for you outside in a SUV.”
    No way. “This little ruse is because he wants to see me? I thought he wasn’t supposed to come to the mansion today.”
    “We’re talking about Maximiliano Keller. What Max wants Max gets, and right now he wants you, love. He told me over the phone he was calling it a day so the two of you can spend some time together before the big party tonight because he hasn’t seen you since the little incident at your office.”
    “Oh my God. In my twenty-four years on this planet, I’d say this is the most indescribably wonderful day of my life.” I beam, reliving the highlights of today.
    “If you’re going to hang out with Max, you’d better get used to it,” she says, raising her eyebrows as she flashes me a perfect set of pearly white teeth. “Come on, let me get you out of here before he calls me again looking for you.” Deidra is pulling my hand and dragging me across this opulent house.
    “Wait,” I let out, panicked, as we near the front door. “How am I going to know which car is his?”
    “When you step outside, you’ll notice a chauffeur standing next to a big black SUV. You can’t miss him. Now off you go.” She pushes me out the door with a little tap against my butt. I guess I’m on my own now .
    Deidra was right. It doesn’t take me long to spot a man standing guard near an impressive-looking shining black SUV. I’ve never seen anything this massive on four wheels before. I walk towards the vehicle and quicken my step when the man built like a bodyguard gestures my way.
    “Ms. Westerman, my name is Manuel. Mr. Keller is waiting for you.”
    “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Manuel. Please call me Candice.”
    The chauffeur nods in agreement before extending his hand to help me inside the car. When he opens the door, I’m face to face with the sexy, gorgeous, and entirely delicious man I’ve desperately missed all day. He’s even more disarmingly seductive than I remember. Not seeing him for the past forty-eight hours has been more difficult than I ever imagined.
    My excitement quickly turns to worry when I notice how high the vehicle is set on these enormous wheels. How the hell am I going to get up there with my short legs? I look up at Max and I can read his amusement. Bastard. I think Manuel must have read my mind because he speaks the magic words. “Please allow me.”
    With a little help from Max’s chauffeur, I gracelessly yank my body next to Max’s.
    “Why are these vehicles set so high up?” I huff. “They are absolutely not built for short people.”
    “God, I’ve missed your sense of humor today.” Max is flashing me his utterly yummy smile—the one I can never resist.
    Before I can even answer, Max is already busy giving instructions to Manuel. “Why don’t you go inside the mansion? Enjoy the spectacular view of gorgeous women covered in nothing more than a few pieces of fabric, sample the amazing spread—I’ve been told the food is exceptional. Have some fun and I’ll see you back here in about one hour. Please make sure to text me to let me know you’re on your way.”
    “Of course, Mr. Keller. I’ll see you back here a little later. Ms. Westerman, enjoy the rest of your afternoon.”
    “Thank you. Mr. Keller is right, the spread is to die for.”
    We both wait patiently for Manuel to close the door behind him before locking eyes onto each other.
    “How was your day today, sweetness?”
