So Much Trouble When She Walked In Read Online Free PDF

zone.”
    She
shook her head.  “I’m sorry.  I really am.  It’s just…I tend to fly off the
handle pretty quickly…especially if it has to do with my little sis.  I don’t let
anybody take advantage of her.”
    “Your
little sis?  I thought she was your twin.”
    “She
is, but I got here first.”  She lifted a hand to push a curly strand away from
her face.  “So anyway, she insisted that I find you and apologize, so here I
am.”
    He
gave her a crooked grin.  “So this apology, it was her idea.”
    She
shrugged.  “Yeah, well.  I came, didn’t I?”  It sounded like she was done with
apologies.  Apparently, once she’d said her piece, that was that.  “So what’s
your answer to my question?  What kind of business are you running here?”
    Max
almost smiled.  The more he listened to this woman speak – and now he’d have to
stop thinking of her as Suave and remind himself that she was Silken – the more
intrigued he was by her.  Within the space of mere minutes she had moved from
defiant to crazy to seductive to apologetic.  And now to demanding.  He could
see she wasn’t going to give up till he’d given her an answer.  “This is my
brand new office,” he said.  “I’m here in Cupertino to finalize the building of
a racetrack.”
    Silken’s
eyes opened wide.  “Shut up.  You’re not serious, are you?”
    Now
his face broke into a smile.  He couldn’t help it.  So he was supposed to shut
up and answer her question at the same time?  “I’m serious as a judge,” he said. 
"The project is already underway.  Half completed, in fact.”
    She
frowned.  “Hey, now that you mention it, I did hear something through the
grapevine about some big construction taking place just outside of the
Cupertino city limits.  That’s your project?”
    “The
same.  I think the city could do with some NASCAR Racing.” 
    “NASCAR,”
Silken repeated, her eyes full of wonder, “in my very own town?”
    “You
like the idea?”
    She
turned eager eyes on him.  “Are you crazy?  I love it.  Cars are my life,
especially fast ones.”
    Max
almost did a double-take.  So far he hadn’t found a woman who got excited in
the least about his latest project.  Finally, here was one who seemed to share
his passion.  An idea came to him.  He didn’t even think twice before he threw
it out to her.  “Hey, want to come see the racetrack?  I can take you there
right now.”
    Her
eyes sparkled and she gave him a toothy grin.  “Take me to it.”

CHAPTER
FOUR
     
    “You’re
going where?  Silken, are you crazy?  You don’t even know this man.”  Suave’s
voice was so high pitched she was almost shrieking into the phone.  “You get
out of that car this instant, do you hear me?  You’ve got to stop acting on
impulse.  You’re a grown woman, Silken, not a little kid.”
    Silken
held the phone away from her ear, looked over at Max and grinned.  “My sister,”
she mouthed to him as the wind whipped her hair around her face.  Her very able
driver smiled back at her then turned his attention back to the wide-open
highway as his Benz sports convertible sped past car after car.  He was going
at a healthy clip but she didn’t mind.  She could see that he was an expert
driver.  She had no doubt that she was in good hands.
    Silken
put the phone back to her ear.  “It’s okay, sis.  I’m just going to look at the
site with him and then I’ll head right back.  I’ll even take him to the office
so you can meet him and see that he's harmless.”  She glanced over at Max. 
He’d raised his eyebrows but he hadn’t said a thing.  Actually, she hadn’t
asked him first but she guessed he wouldn’t mind it if she dragged him off to
meet her sister.  That way he’d know for sure that she had a twin and wasn’t
just making it up.  “I’ll be back soon, okay?”
    There
were more grumbles from Suave but eventually she calmed down enough for Silken
to be able to
