“That’s big of you.”

“I do what I can.”

“I’d love to.”

Hand in hand, we walked out. Tonight was my time. I would come back and deal with my parents in the morning.

Max squeezed my hand. “I need to go check out of my hotel and grab my stuff.”

“And I need to swing by my place and grab some clothes for work. Apparently, I’ve been unfired.”

“Baxteractually fired you?”

“He banned me from the building.”

“He banned you from the building that has your name on it?”

“I told him it was a career limiting move.”

Max laughed, and it sounded like music to my ears. My heart zinged with so much happiness, I thought it’d burst.

In the elevator, Max pressed me against the wall for some mind reeling kisses. “We might do more than cuddle.”

“I could get on board with that.”

“Let me drive you to your place.”

I pushed him away from me when the door slid open. “It’ll be faster if we meet at your place. Maximize our cuddle time.”

He reluctantly let go of my hand. “See you soon.”

CHAPTER 59

My phone rangas my cab pulled up to the house. I paid the driver as I answered.

“Hello?”

“Roar.”

“Calder.”

“So, we saw the news and the interview.”

“Yeah, things are looking up.”

I unlocked the front door and unset the alarm.

“They drop the charges against Max?”

I headed upstairs to my room. “The police have dropped the charges, we have reinstated Max, and I was made temporary GM.”

“Look at you, climbing that corporate ladder.”

I pulled a duffle bag from out of my closet. “So, what’s up?”

“Kat’s worried.”

I paused. “About what?”
