The thought of winning Walter over made Minnie’s eyes twinkle with excitement. She was so eager she could hardly think about dinner, she just wanted to whisk Walter away and get down to business!
“An absolutely quiet house…” The thoughtful murmur on the other end filled Minnie with hope.
Then…
“You’re after my villa! That place is special, it’s not meant for your little schemes.”
Minnie felt like she had been caught, but she was not ready to give up. She softened her voice and pleaded, “But even if it’s special, is it more special than your most treasured possession–me? Plus, your villa’s just sitting there empty. I’ll only be there for a short while. If you’re that worried, I promise I won’t touch the master bedroom, deal?”
Even though they were only connected by a phone call, Minnie stretched out three fingers to the sky, as if taking a solemn oath, to show just how honest she was being.
Of course, Minnie thought differently. Once she got inside the house, she would be the one to choose her room, right? If there was any problem, she could always tidy it up for him later.
The person on the other end of the line went quiet, as if they were really mulling over Minnie’s words.
It felt like forever before he finally sighed. “Fine, come and pick up the keys…”
Minnie was so thrilled she nearly shrieked, quickly saying. “No need, no need, I’ve got the keys. Just say ! can come, and we’re good.”
She did not even wait for an answer before she hung up.
Minnie’s beautiful smile shone back at her from the bright mirror. She leaned in for a closer look, then her
brow creased.
Was her lipstick not perfect enough?
She pulled out her lipstick and carefully went over it again, then strutted out of the bathroom with
confidence.
Down at the Gordon Group skyscraper’s base, a sleek black Maybach sat, its presence commanding attention. The people leaving work could not help but steal glances, wondering which rich young heir it belonged to and which Gordon Group beauty he was waiting for.
Behind the wheel, Walter’s eyes were like ice, scanning the crowd, on high alert for the one person he had been waiting for.
At last, Minnie emerged from the building, her makeup flawless, her handbag in tow.
She glanced around, then whipped out her phone, her fingers dancing across the screen.
Then, a chime.
Walter’s phone lit up with a new message–it was from Minnie.
He did not answer her. Instead, as Minnie glanced his way, he casually waved out the car window.

Minnie had no trouble finding Walter, but she did not hop right into the car. She sauntered over to the driver’s side with a playful smile dancing on her lips.
Walter, a bit confused, raised an eyebrow. “Why aren’t you getting in?”
“Mr. Walter Gordon, I’ve never had the chance to drive such a fancy car. Maybe you could let me take the wheel just this once?” said Minnie, flashing her driver’s license she had brought along, waving it in front of Walter like a trophy.
“See? I’ve even got my license with me!”
Walter hesitated, his face a mask of uncertainty. Minnie pouted, her voice dripping with charm, “Come on, please? Just fulfill this tiny wish for me.”
Walter scanned the surroundings, his mind racing with worry.
He owned a fleet of cars, a Maybach was just one of them. Letting Minnie drive was not the issue. What bothered him was something entirely different.
