"Walter, what are you trying to say? I dont understad de samme

Her eyes widened with a mix of confusiones, able to grasp the seismic shift in Waters

behavior

Had not Walter just caressed her face and tenderly fixed her hair? How could he suddenly act like the was a stranger?

Walter had hoped to give Minnie the opportunity to be honest, but she continued to feign ignorance even when the moment of truth arrived. At that point, whether he pretended to believe her or not, it made no difference to him.

"If you're confused, let me put it another way, and yo get it

"Minnie, what are you really after, getting close to me like this?"

The heir to the Gordon family's fortune was no one's fool. He could opot a hidden agenda a mile away. The only reason he had let Minnie hang around him that long was because he suspected there was more to her than met the eye "What else could I possibly want from you?

If Minnie had been lost in a daydream of Walters affection before, his direct question snapped her back to reality.

This was not some cozy, romantic moment. It was an interrogation, a court of judgment Walter had set up for her!

Tears brimmed in Minnie's eyes as she spoke with heart-wrenching honesty, "Water, Mr. Walter Gordon of the illustrious Gordon family, you have an enviable lineage, and stunning looks. I'm just a simple orphan girl who could only come back from overseas with your brother's help. Is it so unbelievable that I'd fall for you and try my hardest to win your heart?!

He just smirked, those deep black eyes of his looking like they could see right through her, and yet they

held a secret or two.

"You've been trying to get my attention?"

Minnie nodded like crazy, making sure to keep her distance to prove her point.

"I did everything to get into Gordon Group. I sucked up to everyone, worked my tail off in the secretarial pool, and put up with all the snubs and cold shoulders, all to get a shot at working for you, Walter. Dont you see everything I've done for you? What's your heart made of, rock? Why won't it even warm up a little?"

However, no matter how much she did not want to believe it, Minnie could not replace a shred of warmth in

Walter's eyes.

That was when it hit her for real.

Walter had never really cared about her, not one bit. He was just testing her, seeing if she had some angle.

That was not okay with her. Walter was hers and hers alone!

Her tears fell, leaving wet spots on her blouse. With her red, puffy eyes and pale face, not to mention her messy hair, she was a hot mess

Really? Walter chuckled, giving her that slanted look that could make anyone squirm. "So, slipping me a drug was part of your grand plan to get me?"

Minnie's carefully crafted lovestruck image cracked right then and there

How long had Walter known?

To keep him from getting suspicious she went out of her way to buy the most deceptively powerful drug she could replace-one that worked slowly but packed a serious punch. She was determined to nail it in one
