“Have you heard from Ana?” Maxwell asked Phillip as they sat in the living space, going over the numbers one more time on the Hartford deal. They had a meeting the next morning to finalize the last details, so now that he’d gone for his morning run, he wanted to be prepared. “How’s her mother doing?”

He should have asked earlier. In fact, he should have reached out to her himself. He’d been so caught up in… Well, he couldn’t quite blame it on the mission of purchasing the resort, now could he? There’d been much more going on than that.

Like the woman who’d left an hour ago without any word except a note that said she’d be back and to call her if he needed her.

While he didn’t want to admit that he was more than curious about where she’d gone, he had to admit that he missed her. After three days, he’d grown used to waking her up and challenging her with a short time in which to get ready. He’d grown fond of seeing how much she’d test her boundaries when it came to her appearance. And he wondered what she’d done this morning with more time than he’d allowed.

“She’s much better, sir,” Phillip answered, bringing him back to the moment at hand. “She’s in stable condition and expected to make a full recovery within a month’s time.”

“That’s great.” Maxwell slid a piece of paper closer to him to go over the fine print. “Send them some flowers from us.”

“I already have, sir.”

He glanced up at his personal assistant, thankful for the way he ran his life so smoothly. These were the moments when he appreciated the people in his life and what they did for him. He wouldn’t be able to do what he did without them. But he also wouldn’t need them if he didn’t do what he did. And in that moment, he couldn’t tell which one he preferred—or which terrified him.

He’d never felt like he’d made the wrong decision. But with Alexis’s appearance in his life, he was questioning a lot of things. Mostly her, but he was questioning her because of himself. How he was feeling. The way he was acting.

Two days in a row, he’d put enjoyment over business, mixed business with pleasure, and he was confused. He’d always been so sure, so positive that investing and building wealth had been his one true path. But this woman had him wondering if he was sure anymore. Maybe there was more to life. A life he could spend with someone who didn’t want him just for his money.

Was that someone Alexis though?

Maxwell didn’t want to invade her privacy, but with the resources Phillip had, he could easily find out the information he needed to make that decision. All he had to do was give him the word and he’d do the digging required to find the truth about what happened with Alexis and Gabe. Yet he hadn’t pulled the trigger because he wanted Alexis to open up and tell him herself.
