Case of Desire. Jacquelin Thomas

…Dr. Morales was about to fall. There—”

      Camille interrupted him by saying, “We need to block out some time to discuss the legal issues the hospital

      is dealing with. If it’s okay with you, I’ll email you with a time to meet.”

      “That’s fine,” Maxwell said. “Is that why you were coming to see me?”

      “Yes,” she lied.

      Camille picked up her phone, silently dismissing him. She was aware of Maxwell watching her, but pretended not to notice that his presence had overtaken her off ice.

      He stood there for a moment in silence, then turned on his heel and left.

      Camille waited until she was positive that Maxwell was gone before hanging up. She wasn’t really planning to make a call; she just wanted him to leave her office.

      “Isabelle was right,” she whispered. “She said he wouldn’t be alone for long.”

      She really liked Isabelle, but for some reason, Camille did not like the idea of her friend getting involved with Maxwell. After all, Maxwell seemed to enjoy his life as a bachelor. He was often linked with actresses or socialites when he and Kendra weren’t involved. Camille didn’t want to see Isabelle get her heart broken.

      She didn’t want to consider that there could be another reason why she didn’t want to see Isabelle with Maxwell.
