The Master of Palomar — Magali

"You were mistaken no one sent for you!"

Maxime was thunderstruck. She had rushed from Paris to this hacienda in Mexico the moment she learned the job was hers.

"Of course, you did," she stammered. "I received a cable. The Marquis hired me as his assistant."

"I'm afraid you are mistaken. You must leave her at once."

Maxime knew she couldn't leave. yet the time would come when she would wish she had. But by then it would be too late.
