It was quitting time at the Gordon Group building, and the company’s entrance was bustling with employees heading home. His Maybach stood out like a beacon in the crowd.
If he stepped out now, in full view of everyone, and let Minnie slide into his car… Would not that be like broadcasting to the world that there was something going on between them?
Sure, he was curious about Minnie’s intentions, but his heart belonged to Evangeline. The last thing he wanted was to fuel rumors with another woman!
However, as Minnie’s hopeful eyes locked onto his, Walter felt his resolve start to crumble.
It was not about the allure of the woman before him. He had just realized that Minnie’s choice to make that move so publicly was clearly calculated.
Walter had finally figured out who Minnie really was, and he knew he would not have to deal with her anymore. The situation with Evangeline was already rocky, so he figured he could smooth things over later.
With a dramatic sigh, Walter gave Minnie a look that was all about spoiling her. “Fine, you can drive.
He swung the car door open and stepped out. In front of everyone from Gordon Group, he gestured for Minnie to slide into the driver’s seat, while he casually made his way to the passenger side.
The car zoomed off, leaving a cloud of dust behind.
Minnie caught the stunned looks of her coworkers in the rearview mirror and smirked.
Ever since she had started in the secretarial pool, they had been subtly trying to keep her away from Walter. Even then, she had managed to get close to him, and it felt like a sweet victory.
‘Just wait,‘ she thought. ‘When I’m sitting pretty as Mrs. Gordon, their faces are going to be priceless!”
Minnie gripped the wheel.
Walter, noticing the unfamiliar roads, asked, ‘Ms. Kast, where are we headed?”
With a twinkle in her eye, Minnie glanced over at him when the road was clear, “Mr. Walter Gordon, I’m taking you somewhere secret. You’ll see when we get there.”
“Shouldn’t we grab a bite first? I can’t be a gentleman if I’m letting a lady starve,” he said with a hint of charm.
Walter’s ride was shadowed by a bodyguard from the Gordon family, so he was not sweating any shenanigans from Minnie.
His question was just a way to dig a little, to figure out what was up with this lady.
However, all he got back was Minnie’s dazzling smile.
“Mr. Walter Gordon, knowing you’re a gentleman is all that matters to me. Everyone else’s chatter doesn’t mean a thing. Just chill and wait,” she said.
Walter clammed up after that, just watching as the car zigzagged to a villa perched halfway up a hill.

Chapter 362
Nestled against the mountain in the heart of autumn, the place was ablaze with red maple leaves–it was a stunning view.
Stepping out of the car, Walter was blown away. He had been in Avalon City for ages and never knew about that hidden gem.
That spot, he thought, held its own against the Crystal Waters apartment he shared with Evangeline.
Minnie stepped out too and sidled up next to Walter. “Mr. Walter Gordon, what do you think of the view?”
she asked.
“It’s stunning.” he admitted, genuinely impressed.
Minnie gazed at the fiery sunset, entirely captivated.
“I feel the same. Whenever I’ve got the juice after work, I swing by to soak it all in. It’s like a power–up that gets me pumped for the next day.”
