"Today is Mary's birthday! I won't be able to be with her, and it makesfeel so guilty. Today she turns eighteen, and I couldn't throw her a proper party." "Grandma! It seems like you're not cut out for having a granddaughter. What do you wantto do? I'm going to the office today. I can't take her with me," he said, sounding a bit exasperated.
"My dear! Palmer Group won't collapse if you miss a day! Con, help out this poor old lady!" she said, using a pitiful tone.
Maximus stopped running and called Matthew. Deep down, he was grateful his grandmother had told him playboy, it was Mary's birthday. The thought of Peter getting close to this girl bothered him. Peter was fun but very liberal. He wouldn't respect her youth and could do things she wouldn't want.

She was the only woman who could make this handsman drool.
Now that he thought about it, Mary was completely different from Alexia.
And yet, in a short time, she was m NO bringing back the side of Maximus that used to be thoughtful and attentive to his partner.
Maximus fell asleep, lost in those good memories that seemeddiken they were from a distant past but were only five years ago.
