Seduced by the nanny

Chapter 11 Max finally finds her

Max woke up after spending the night in the private suite at the Jeff Allen office.

He found it to be quite comfortable, however he was very hungry this morning.

He called down to the secretary and asked if he could have some food brought in.

She said she had already arranged it she was just waiting for him to call.

Shortly after that there was a knock on his door and a delivery for him of fresh coffee, bagels, and cream cheese.

He was very thankful for the food items.

He called Frank Gold and let him know the progress that he had been making on the cyber threat.

He felt that they were fairly close on finding the IP address.

He went back to work for a few hours after that until there was another knock on his door.

He opened the door, "Hey, you got a minute."

He was surprised to see Jeff Allen himself at his door.

He put out his hand, "MT, nice to meet you, come on in."

He opened the door for Jeff and clarified," Well, it is your office I'm just borrowing it, so yes, please come on in."

Jeff said, "Yeah, I just wanted to get in touch with you about your progress.

Frank has said some good things about your company. I was just wondering if there was any way you would consider a full-time position here on staff with me.

I could really use a full-time person at this time."

Max was taken aback. "Well, I haven't really thought about it, I mean I'm in the business with my step dad.

We started it together so it would have to be a mutual decision that we both make."

"Well, about that, I had a little conversation with your stepfather Tim Turner and it seems that he is ready to turn the business over to you a 100%.

I would like you to consider coming to work for me full-time and I will make it very worth your while.

I'm not sure if you already have a 7 figure salary but besides that, we will also consider a comprehensive package including a Penthouse of your own in this building as well as your own personal secretary.

But, just give it a thought and talk it through.

I'll be waiting for your answer. I'd like to hear from you by 2 o'clock this afternoon."

He walked out of the office and closed the door.

Jeff was used to getting what he wanted.

Max looked at his watch and it was already 1 o'clock.

He went over to the window and ran his hands through his hair.

A little bit too stressful for him to handle on his own, so he made a call to his stepfather Tim.

Tim Turner answered the phone on the first ring, he was at the hospital with his son, Max's brother Aaron.

He said that Aaron was doing much better and that he would be out of the hospital by tonight. He had broken his arm. He said," Did I mention that I had a conversation with Jeff Allen? He made us an offer to buy out the business. I didn't have a chance to talk to you about it yet, but I didn't want to make any decisions until you decide if you are ready to venture out on your own son."

Max was taken aback. He said, "Do you want to retire?"

Tim answered, "Yes, I have been thinking about it for some time. It's your call Max," he said goodbye and hung up the phone.

Max called Jeff Allen. His secretary said she will have him call MT back, Jeff was planning his wedding with his fiance, Jane.

Max thought to himself, " I may be making the biggest mistake of my career by declining this offer."

For some reason, he just didn't trust Jeff Allen.

He was not impressed by what he had seen so far.

Max found him too be a bit manipulative. He sat down in the luxurious sitting area of the office to wait for Jeff to call him back.

He crossed his legs and drank some coffee.

He picked through the books on the table.

He picked up a book.

The rebel lovers.

He skimmed through the book. Romance, adventure, by Jane Knight. He turned it over to the back cover.

He dropped the book like it was on fire.

There she was, Jamie Clarke- his Jamie.

Her hair was fancy and she had a designer suit on. He recognized her, he had found her. He spent the next half hour reading the book.

He read, number one best selling author from Vancouver BC. He looked her up in his web browser, by her new name.

He found her, well sort of, she was older, but she looked very well put together, she looked like a member of the royal family.

She had a product line, fine linens and dish ware. He couldn't get enough of her.

He didn't dare to see if she was in a relationship. He was just about to click on her profile status when his phone began to ring

Jeff was calling him back. He thanked Mr.Allen for the offer. He was very quiet, thinking about Jamie Clarke.

Jeff spoke now."I am happy to give you an 8 figure salary then. Seems like you drive a hard bargain. But in return, I will own you out right, rather your company that is.

Max spoke, "Deal, I'd like to accept your generous offer." He accepted the position.

Max somehow felt that he had sold his soul to the devil. He called Tim to let him know the news. He was relieved. "seven figure salary, that is pretty good kid."

"Well, actually he went to 8 figures, you got your retirement Tim. Tell Aaron I will call him tonight, please."

Tim agreed to let him know. He didn't tell Max that he had already signed his interests away.

That was the whole reason that he had flown to Canada. He set his step son up.

He was ready. He could do it on his own now.

Max sat down and looked up houses for rent in Vancouver. He had no intention. of staying in the Jeff Allen towers if he didn't have to. He had a new interest in Canada. He needed his own space to pursue Jamie.

He had to see her, find her again. He was so close now. He took off his glasses and rubbed his brown eyes. He sat back on the bed and put his hand to his beating heart-breathing deeply, she was near him.

The younger Max in him was relieved that she was alive. The older Max was bitter. She had left and gone on without him. She created a new name, a new life. He felt vengeful. He felt the fire in his heart turn to stone. He needed to hurt her like she had cruelly hurt him once.

He started to make plans to find this character, Jane Knight. He could easily expose her deceit to the world, if he chose to-end her career. He smiled. He would like that.
