“Let me do your hair and makeup now,” Nan said, grabbing her bag which consisted of hair supplies and makeup. I smiled at her and sat down at the vanity across the room. She got to work on my hair, brushing it out again and then blow–drying it. She got her curling iron and curled it, so it was wavy
vand flowed evenly around my shoulders. She put a hairpin in my hair to keep my side bangs out of my face and then she started on my makeup.
By the time she finished, I barely recognized myself.
“Wow,” I breathed.
“You look amazing,” she said, putting an arm around my shoulders. “He’s going to die when he sees
you.
She grabbed a bottle of perfume and spritzed it at me, making me wince because some of it got into my
eyes.
“Sorry,” she chuckled.
Just then, the doorbell rang and I froze.
“Oh, my goddess!” she nearly shouted, grabbing my arm and tugging me towards the door. “He’s here!”
I swallowed the lump in my throat and followed her out of my room. I grabbed my purse that hung on the door handle before shutting the door behind me. I quickly followed her down the stairs where she grabbed a pair of black heals that were tossed in the corner of the living room.
“I saw these earlier, you have to wear them,” she told me.
1 frowned.
“They’re my mothers,” I told her.
“She won’t mind,” she said, waving off my concern. You two are the same size. These heals go great with that dress.”
I relented, putting the shoes on. They made me about an inch taller, but not too tall. Walter will still be a good foot taller than me. She gave me one last look before motioning for the door.
“I’ll hide, you get the door,” she whispered and then disappeared around the corner. I shook my head at her retreating back and grabbed the doorknob, turning it just as he rang the bell again. He froze when he sw me and his eyes grew large
“Wow” he said under his breath, taking in my appearance from head to toe. “You look….” His voice trailed off, unsure of what to say
“You don’t look so bad yourself,” I said, assuming he was going to say I looked good. He did look great his suit and red tie; his curly blonde hair was gelled out of his face, and he was neatly shaved.
I smiled at the effort he put into his own appearance.
“We should go before we are late for our reservation,” he said, pulling his eyes away from my cleavage and back into my eyes. I nodded and glanced over my shoulder at Nan who was peeking her head around

the corner and giving me a toothy grin and a thumbs up.
I smiled as I shut the door behind me. I followed him to the red car that waited out front. He opened the back door for me, and I slid in; he got in behind me.
There was a young man seated behind the wheel; he didn’t look much older than Walter and he gave me a grin from the rearview mirror when our eyes met. He was also wearing a suit, but it wasn’t as pristine as Walter’s.
“Judy, this is my subordinate, friend, and future Beta, Maxwell,” Walter introduced.
“You can call me Max,” he said from the front seat. “It’s nice to meet you. You were all this guy could talk about since meeting you this morning.”
I blushed at his words and glanced at Walter who was glaring at his future Beta. Max shrunk in his seat and fixed his attention out the front window.
“We should get going,” Max said, clearing his throat.
“Probably a good idea,” Walter barked.
The rest of the drive was fairly quiet. When we reached the restaurant, Walter rushed around the car to open the door for me before I even had the chance. He took my hand and lifted it to his lips, giving it a gentle kiss before he helped me out of the car. I smiled at him and followed him into the luxury
restaurant.
“A table for two under Walter Landry,” Walter told the hostess confidently.
Her eyes grew large when he mentioned his name.
“Mr. Landry… it’s such an honor that you are dining with us this evening,” she said, bowing her head to
him
Walter smiled and then draped an arm around my shoulders. When her eyes landed on me, she scowled and then forced a smile.
“Right this way,” she said, grabbing a couple of menus and walking through the dining area.
As we walked, I couldn’t help but get the sense that someone was watching me. But then my eyes found him seated across the room and when our eyes met, my entire heart fell into my stomach.
What the hell was he doing here??
