Maddy stood nervously in front of the penthouse door, her heart beating fast. Just as she raised her hand to knock, her phone vibrated with a text from Reeves telling her the door code. She quickly entered the code he sent her. The lock clicked open, and she pushed the door gently. As soon as she stepped inside, she saw Reeves standing near the large windows, casually sipping expensive red wine from a crystal glass. He turned around slowly when he heard her enter and gave her a light, knowing smile. He walked over and closed the door behind her with a soft click. “Want some?” he asked, raising the glass slightly toward her. “Sure,” Maddy replied, taking the glass from him and taking a small sip of the expensive wine. Reeves studied her for a moment, his expression calm but intense.
