"Come on, Adam. I've even seduced a man for you, and you cannot even give me a chance to explain?" Max said as he strode into Adam's office without so much as a knock because he knew that if he paused even a second at the door, Adam would probably bolt it in his face. Better to push straight through.
Of course, he would not have dared not knock in the past for seeing something 'umpleasant' but with Melanie already back to work now, he knew he was safe. He was wrong to assume that. So. VEry. Wrong.
Because the moment he stepped in, regret hit him like a slap. The office wasn't empty. Sitting on the other side of Adam was Stormedge's board of directors.
A flicker of embarrassment crossed his face, though he quickly masked it as he turned to look at Adam questioningly.
But Adam simply gazed at him indifferently, making his hackles rise. His eyes swept the table and he caught the faint, guilty looks some of the men exchanged. That was enough to make his chest tighten with suspicion.
