Upon landing at the private airfield in Las Vegas on Thursday, we were taken to the hotel and shown to a suite. While not hiding our affair, we had decided it best to be a bit discreet during the course of this trip.

A note on the cocktail table, along with a bottle of champagne, welcomed us and informed us that Mr. Bell would arrive to escort us to dinner at eight. Although the actual meeting to discuss their proposal wasn’t until mid-morning the following day, the group wanted Max and me to get a feel for the facility. Afterwards, we would attend a show to give him an opportunity to observe the theater first hand.

When the witching hour was upon us, Max turned into the alpha male everyone expected. He became outgoing and charming, not the more quiet person I had been used to seeing. That was part of what sold him, and he was well aware of it. Mr. Bell and one of his associates arrived with their wives. We all had a drink in the suite before going down to dinner. It gave everyone the opportunity to get to know each other before we descended into the chaos.

We enjoyed our meal at one of the finer restaurants. Max was attentive, but as he had his other personality ‘on,’ I let it flow, not taking stock of the conversations. After lingering over small talk and brandies, we all headed to the theater to take in the second show. It was packed, a normal occurrence. One of the men pointed out that this show had been sold out months in advance and that he saw no reason the same wouldn’t happen with Max.

I sat next to Max, totally engrossed, when he gently took hold of my arm. He bent over to whisper something, but the noise level was too loud to understand what. He discreetly motioned two tables over. To my utter disbelief, Lisa sat there with a man and two other couples. Snapping my head back around to Max, his face told the story. Lisa was aware that we saw her because she smiled like a Cheshire cat and waved.

During the intermission, I was about to tell our hosts that we needed to turn in for the evening, hoping to avoid a confrontation of any kind. Lisa, however, was quickly at our side, fawning over Max and making everyone uncomfortable.

“Max, baby, surprised? I wish you’d return my calls. I need to talk to you.” She winked at him and glared in my direction. Before either of us could explain the situation to our hosts, Lisa piped up. “I must apologize for Max’s bad manners. I’m Lisa, Max’s fiancée.”

She made a move to shake hands with the men, when I pulled myself to my feet. “I’m sorry gentlemen. Lisa was an employee of mine.” I glared at the young woman. “Lisa, I was hoping things wouldn’t come to this, but you leave Max no choice except to take out a restraining order.
