Chapter 353
Walter’s last line was loaded with meaning, making Minnie stop and think.
To Minnie, it came off with a hint of bitterness. ‘Oh my gosh. Was Walter actually jealous? Jealous of Alex, because of me?”
Minnie’s cheeks turned a bright red, her face heating up as she tried not to slap some sense into her flushed skin, murmuring. “No way! Everyone calls me Minnie, but I was hoping you’d come up with something unique for me.”
It was just the two of them in the office, and even though she spoke softly, Walter caught every word.
“Isn’t it nice that everyone calls you that? Why do you want me to be different?” Walter’s voice was teasing, laced with a flirty undertone.
If Evangeline were there, she would have pegged it right away as Walter’s classic move–laying on the charm thick.
However, Minnie was not just some bystander like Evangeline. She was head over heels for Walter, and in a moment of passion, she walked right into his little game of hearts.
“Because… Because, Mr. Walter Gordon, you’re not just anybody to me, so I think I should have a name. that’s just as special.”
Minnie’s cheeks burned as she said that, her heart pounding with a mix of excitement and sheer mortification. ‘Oh my gosh, this is so awkward. How did Walt get so good at this whole charming thing? It’s been months, and now I’m completely losing my composure around him!
“So, dinner tonight? I feel like we’ve got to talk about this whole name thing.” Walter asked.
That invitation jolted Minnie back to the present moment.
They were still at the office, where they could not just do whatever they wanted, all out in the open. However, after hours? That was a whole different story. They could be free to do anything!
Minnie could not believe how fast things were moving with her Walt. Her plan to win him over was working like a charm, so well that it almost seemed too good to be true.
If luck was on her side, why not just go for it?
“Mr. Walter Gordon, can I pick where we will go for dinner?” She laid on the charm, her voice soft and sweet as she batted her eyelashes at Walter.
Walter had been planning to use that alone time with Minnie to test the waters once more. Since she was putting her cards on the table, how could he refuse?
“Sounds good, see you after work!”
As Minnie walked away, a sharp glint flashed in Walter’s eyes. He quickly dialed David. “I’ve got plans with Minnie tonight. Bring a few extra people to tail us…”
Minnie’s getting close was clearly for the chance to be alone with him tonight.
He had given her the opportunity, and he was curious to see what kind of game she was playing.
