Then if things couldn‘t get any worse Cybil showed up one Friday afternoon claiming to have a dinner date with Max. Her eyes raked over Lily in obvious contempt before she released a cool smile that seemed to say that she was no challenge after all.
―today little girl.‖ Cybil repeated with a snap of her fingers. Lily 99

saw Nancy come to her feet behind the model glaring at the back of her head.Lily shot her a look that told her not to bother saying anything.
―Right this way,‖ she said forcing a smile.
Max was seated behind his desk when Lily opened the door and told him that Cybil was here for their dinner date. He stood up as the other woman sashayed into the room with an exaggerated sway of her hips.
―Cybil?‖ he said looking at her in question.
―I know I was supposed to show up later this evening, but I just couldn‘t wait to see you again darling.I hope you don‘t mind, I had your diver take my bag to your penthouse.‖ She reached up and managed to kiss him on the mouth while Lily pinched her eyes shut and left the office shutting the door behind her.
Nancy saw the younger woman make a bee line for the ladies room with her head held high, but she had also seen the quiver of her chin while her lips were pursed tightly to hold her emotions in.
She didn‘t know what had happened between her boss and the young woman to sever their engagement, but for him to parade one of his mistresses through here to rub salt in the poor girl‘s broken heart.
She would like to have said something but the reality of it was, he was her boss and like Lily she was an employee.
After Cybil left Max already knew the damage she caused and meant to cause. Yes, he did reluctantly agree to dinner after she harassed him over the phone to see him. He‘d already told her that it was over that night she insulted Lily. However, it was obvious to him that Melissa had told Cybil that she‘d seen him and Lily on Demetrius‘ yacht and she called him the next evening to apologize for her behaviour.She had literally begged him to get together so she could apologize in person.Now he realized 100
The Billionaire‘s Secret Desire that was a mistake.He should have known how devious she‘d get. The look on Lily‘s face crushed him. Cybil made it seem as if they were together and it was the furthest from the truth.
After Lily left he bluntly told her to get out of his office and that the chance of them even remaining friends was not happening.
―How does it feel Max?‖ she asked with a cool smile, ―To have your heart broken.‖
―I understand you think you know.‖ Max answered with his expression unreadable, ―But you‘d have to have a heart in that cold blooded body to experience such a thing.‖
She released and indignant huff and stormed out of his office only to storm by an older woman who told her not to let the door hit her one the way out. At least she got her digs in to the younger beautiful woman that Max had set his sights on.
She‘d seen the devastation cross her expression when she kissed Max. He‘d shoved her away from him, but she‘d already gone.
Now let him try and repair that damage.
Max pretended not to let on how he felt, but he could see that the light went out of her when they returned to Chicago. She tried her best to act professional, but he was certain on more than one occasion that her eyes were more moist than usual before she turned away from him.Then Cybil showed up and pulled that little stunt, and he knew he needed to straighten that out too. He ached to tell her the truth but every time he tried to broach the subject she would shut him down or leave. It tortured him to see her so
