like the fact that he was called with such urgency. Why were they in such a hurry to acquire that warehouse? Surely, there was more to this story than what they were telling him. He didn’t like surprises. What the hell were they planning?
     
    “When do you expect to get hold of that warehouse?” asked Mark. He was the oldest member of the board and held a lot of sway over the others. If he got Riley off this assignment, he wouldn’t be able to achieve his objectives. “We were expecting to take possession this week.”
     
    “I’m working on it. Xavier has already given the go ahead,” he said. “But the paperwork has to be completed and we’ve initiated the process. Unfortunately, there is another bidder who is very determined to acquire the same property.”
     
    “Who is it?”
     
    “The estate agents Brin and Co, and their agent Tania is on the case.”
     
    “She is of no consequences. Xavier has assured that he is willing to transfer the property the minute we make the payment.”
     
    “But you haven’t cleared the advance.” They were acting particularly cagey about the funds that the company owned. He’d expected to be given clearance to the bank account so he could close the deal, but it seemed that they were keeping their cards close to their chest. He didn’t like it. Something was up.
     
    He couldn’t put his finger on it, but it bothered him. He wasn’t sure how Tania would react when she discovered that he went behind her back and closed the deal. He wanted her to be on board with this plan. She was a good woman, and he didn’t want her to feel that he short-charged her. Sure, he told her that the deal would go through with Xavier, but it wouldn’t be nice if he went ahead and didn’t tell her. Not that he owed her anything. Why the hell was he thinking like this? 
     
    “The money will be handed over to Xavier soon enough.”
     
    Riley wasn’t sure about Xavier, the manager of the place. He assured them that he could talk to the owners and get the paperwork signed in their favor, but if Tania offered more, he might change his mind. “It should be done soon. Otherwise, Xavier might turn over to Tania,” he told them. “If you give me the money, I will take care of this. After they have gotten an advance, no one would be able to shake the deal.”
     
    “Don’t worry about that aspect,” said Mark. “We’ve got it covered. You just concentrate on completing the paperwork.”
     
    Damn it! He would have to tell Tania about it. If he didn’t, she would think that he seduced her to keep her off track and then closed the deal. “Sure, all right.”
     
    After Riley left the hotel, he went straight for Tania’s agency. She was one of the hotshot agents, but he was aware that she needed this deal quite badly. The account she was trying to take over was one of the most lucrative clients of the company and if she lost them, her career would be on the line. When he walked into the office and gave his name to the receptionist, Riley wasn’t sure about the welcome he would get.
     
    Before he made love to her, he’d assumed that it would be a one night thing. But the minute it was all over, he knew that there was no way he could leave this woman alone. She was perfect for him in every way. He loved her sheer guts, her courage, and her sharp intelligence. Of course, she was hot, too. If he lost her, he wouldn’t get another woman quite like her. How could he convince her that he was serious after the bad impression that he made during their first meeting?
     
    “Please go up, sir. First room to the left,” said the receptionist after she talked to Tania on the intercom. “Ms. Mathew is expecting you.”
     
    Riley sauntered in her office a few minutes later. Like her personality, the office was done in sharp hues and gave a rich vibe. His gaze traveled over the steel gray rug, the two picture frames that adorned her desk, and the cabinets that lined the wall. Not a paper or
