Secret Crush

Chapter 32 The Beautiful Woman

When he arrived at the apartment, the sun was high in the sky. Although it was still early, she had to follow the rules as required by Max. She habitually returned to the apartment and found that she had nothing to do. It was extremely boring to be a caged Canary!

Sitting on the bed in the bedroom, Leila sadly found that when she was in the apartment, she had no other fun besides being called here and there by Max.

When the maid saw her wandering in the apartment, she called her with respect.

"Miss Song."

Leila nodded. She was used to her attitude. Although she had servants in the song clan, she was not as dedicated as she was to work. Her attitude was as respectful and respectful as the maids in the ancient times.

Leila noticed the maid was cooking and walked towards her with an attitude of an onlooker. Noticing her existence, the maid called her again, "Miss Song."

Leila paused, "are you cooking?"

The maid looked at Leila with a weird look on her face. Leila was a little embarrassed. She wanted to say something, but in fact, she didn't.

She cleared her throat and said: "can you teach me how to cook?"

The maid didn't disguise herself this time. She stared at Leila directly, and some strange emotions were revealed in her eyes, which made Leila a little embarrassed. The maid paused and said, "Max didn't mention it."

Leila bit her lips, and decided not to make things difficult for the maid. She turned around the room upstairs drowsily. The apartment was filled with boredom, with all the cells screaming, as if she was about to scream.

Just then, her phone buzzed. She looked down at the name on the screen. It was a familiar name. Once, she had taken this name as her best friend. But now, she only wanted to laugh when she thought of it.

She frowned and pressed the answer button. A hurried voice came from the other end of the phone, "Leila, did Astrid come to see you?"

'Astrid? It seemed that they were getting along well with each other all the time, and Astrid didn't even have the phone number to pick Veron up. But now that she had promised to help Astrid to get even with her, she didn't care about the phone number as well. And she never doubted what kind of person Astrid was, because she believed that, sooner or later, she would definitely get Veron into trouble.

With a cold voice, she replied, "No."

The person on the other end of the line seemed to be relieved. Leila suddenly realized that something was wrong. She asked: "what happened?"

After a short pause, Veron said, "nothing."

Her tone sounded a little more weird. Since she couldn't get a answer from him, Leila didn't want to talk to him anymore. She hanged up the phone with a big bang. Suddenly, a cold face appeared on the phone screen. Leila was startled and immediately turned around.

She didn't know when Max came behind her and how much he had heard on the phone just now. Obviously, it didn't matter, but she always felt that she shouldn't let him hear in front of him.

Looking at the little woman sitting on the sofa in front of him with a surprised look, Max moved her eyes. He slowly turned around and sat down by her side. Feeling the deep sinking of the sofa, she wanted to escape, but she suddenly stopped and thought about what he had said to her most.

"Come over."

A trace of joy inexplicably flashed through Max's heart when she felt the change of her mood. After a long silence, he said in a low voice, "who was it just now?"

Leila pursed her lips. She knew that whether she was lying or honest, he would be irritated. So she just claimed, "Veron!"

As expected, she felt only a low pressure, and Max's voice sounded again. "What do you want?"

Leila clenched her hands into fists and answered, "nothing. He just want to ask me something."

Getting to the bottom of it, Max slightly stood up and wiped Leila's body. "Clean up and go to a place with me."

Shocked, Leila raised her eyes. She was confused about his letting go of her this time. When did the Max become so considerate? When she came back to her senses and noticed what he had asked, she answered hastily, "is it a banquet?" ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Hearing that, Max stopped what he was doing and turned around to look at her with an indifferent expression in his eyes. "Yes."

He turned to her with his fingers over her clothes, and his carefully combed hair exposed his forehead, which made him more domineering. Apart from his personality, he was indeed a very attractive man that every woman would fall in love with.

He has a handsome appearance, the wealthy family property, and a smart head. As long as his character is softer

As Leila was immersed in her own thoughts, she heard a familiar voice calling out to her from the other end of the line. "What are you doing?" Max glanced at her and asked

Leila hurriedly waved her hand and changed the topic, "what party?"

Not giving any response, Max went downstairs, whereas Leila hurriedly stood up and tidied herself up as she watched him going away.

This was the second time that Max took him to a banquet. To be his female companion, she must be dressed carefully. After all, the woman of the financial tycoon in D city could not let him lose face.

Leila didn't know what kind of banquet it was until they stepped into the banquet door side by side. Even though she was used to the big hall, she was still a little surprised at the grand scene.

Born in a rich and powerful family, she had gone to numerous parties, of which she had never seen such a scene before. She pulled herself together and strode across Max's arms. With the crystal lights shining, they entered the banquet gracefully, leaving a string of crystals around.

"Max, you are here."

A fat, middle-aged fat man walked up to them, with a glass of wine in his hand. He had the same smile on his face.

Taking a glance at him, Max didn't respond. It seemed that he didn't care about Max's attitude at all. In other words, he was not qualified to care about it. The Mu Group had run through the whole South Sea, and his small company was not qualified to compare with it.

He had done many things that both cold and warm. He had become accustomed to it, so he said to himself, "I've never seen this lady before."

Leila wanted to return with a smile, but she was pulled away by Max. The man in the distance had a long face, and she could not help but sigh. She did not know how many people had been offended by Max, but after thinking about it, it was not a big deal even if he offended someone, and in the end, they did not dare to speak out the consequences of anger.

Leila was dragged into the center of the banquet hall. She didn't utter a single word, surrounded by people from the upper class, who were quite obedient. Whereas, Max remained silent, only holding a clear goblet, wagging scarlet liquid. He behaved like a strange gentleman.

"Max,"

Soon a familiar voice sounded. Leila didn't look back until the figure appeared in front of her. Then she remembered who it was.

Orange, a member of the banquet, Leila thought for a long time and finally figured out his name. His short hair was neat and tidy, which impressed her most. It was his unruly character. And he was Orange.

When he saw Leila who was standing beside Max, he was obviously shocked, but then returned to normal and greeted her politely, "Miss Song."

Leila nodded at him with a smile on her face. After a while, all the three people in that banquet had gathered together. They were all very eye-catching. Although there was an obvious hostility in front of her, they still maintained their politeness and did not show it obviously. Such a subtle atmosphere made her think of the shooting scene that night.

While raising her eyebrows secretly and lowering her eyelids, she found that most women at the banquet were different from her. She was quiet and well behaved, just like a very obedient cat.

Leila was like a wild cat, but she knew what she was doing. She knew what she should do and what she should do.

Moore had never been eased by her, and his disgust was obviously much more than that of the other two men, which made Leila curious. How could he be sure that he was a woman like Bertha when he had done nothing.

Noticing her staring at him, Moore's eyes sparkled with coldness. He turned his head and looked away.

"Miss Song, what brings you here today?"

Thinking of that, Grady could not help but burst out laughing. His words were echoed by Moore and Orange in a flash. Both of them knew that today was a special day for Max. How could Leila get out of there in such a day?

A trace of strangeness flashed through Max's indifferent eyes. He glanced at them and said in a cold voice, "she's my woman."

The crowd were rendered speechless. They all looked at Leila with a deep look, which made her confused. Shouldn't she come today?

Soon, Leila's question was solved. Just as the party was about to start, a woman came down from the stairs on the second floor. She was unforgettable at the first sight.

Her beautiful black curly hair was up at the back of her head, and a few strands of naughty fell on her neck, which made her skin look more delicate.

On her delicate face, there was a pair of bright eyes. It was as bright as a galaxy falling into the sky. Leila made a conclusion that this was a beautiful woman.

Leila didn't know they knew each other until the pretty woman, whom she had been thinking, walked up to her, or more precisely, was in front of Max. She stood aside and watched them with a shallow look.

The beautiful woman said, "long time no see, Max."

Although Max still cold, Leila, who studied his expression as a subject, found the difference at a glance. After his bright eyes, it was obvious that his emotion was hidden. With a feeling of unknown, Leila subconsciously stepped back, as if she was giving the stage to them.

They looked like a perfect match. Leila couldn't tell the fire of their eye contact. She pursed her lips and suppressed her abnormality in her heart. She wanted to turn around, but fell into a pair of colder eyes.

Without too much speculation, Leila understood why Moore looked at her with such eyes. The beautiful woman she thought must have an unusual relationship with Max.

No wonder they said something like that to Max. Even though she didn't know much about it, she knew that she really shouldn't have come to the party tonight.
