As he opened his mouth and was just about to speak, he heard the knock on the door and let out a “Dammit…” under his breath. “I don’t remember making any appointments.” He took Maxine’s advice and quickly got up to go to his office, taking his clothes from her as he moved. He closed the door, and proceeded to quickly slip on his socks, underwear, and slacks. He was so angry at himself for having scheduled this man to come, but it couldn’t be helped now, and his heart skipped a beat when he heard the door open but calmed again when he saw that it was only Maxine. He was about to say the he could dress himself, but then he thought if she wanted to, he would let her. Holding out his arms, he signaled for Maxine to help him put his shirt and tie on. “Thank you, Maxine. I don’t think I’ll be having Mr. Fox here for long.” When he was finally dressed, he had Maxine help him straighten his tie and then proceeded to walk out. “Mr. Fox, hello!” he said with a smile, reaching his hand out to shake his. “I’m very sorry to have you come all the way down here, but I just got off the phone with an extremely high profile potential client, and they wished to meet now. If I can get you to come back next time, I’ll give you a discounted consultation,” he said with a smile, eager to get the man out of the office and resume what he was doing with Maxine. Standing at the door talking for a few more moments, Steven could clearly see that Mr. Fox was a bit upset, but he managed to convince him to come back, and when he left, he locked the door, switching the sign to “closed.” He turned around, leaning his back against the door and let out a sigh. He looked up and saw Maxine standing there and smiled at her. “Thanks for helping me out there.”
