Secret Crush

Chapter 104 An Inspection Tour Of The Farm (Part One)

The nature of Leila had nothing to do with self-discipline. Thus Leila should have belonged to the kind of women that Max hated most. Yet the nature on Leila became an advantage in the eyes of Max.

With a deep look in Max's eyes and a variety of thoughts in his mind, Max was sorting out his emotions. Thus both Max and Leila were silent, so the atmosphere in the car was a bit oppressive.

When Leila went back to her senses, they have already been back to the apartment. After going through all these, they finally arrived at the apartment. It seemed that Max was not going to go out today, and Leila could not go out of the apartment either because of his order. So she had to obediently follow his footsteps into the house.

The maid was cleaning the room. And she was surprised to see them coming back. Leila Knew what the maid was surprised at. There was little chance for them to come back during the day. Moreover, today they came back together.

This maid was hired by Max again after the last one was fired. Combined with the properties of the previous two maids, this one was lively and self-discipline. Leila thought this maid should be able to stay longer this time.

After entering the room, Max sat on the sofa and read the financial newspaper attentively.

His slender fingers were holding held the newspaper and his knuckles were somewhat white.

Leila sat beside him, watching TV with boredom. She was changing channels with the remote control in her hand. As she gazed at the screen, her mind was wandering for thousands of miles.

Leila was more willing to spill water and water vegetables at the farm than stay idle in the apartment. Perhaps it was because Max being around, she always felt uneasy about doing anything. However, at the farm, she could play freely with the scent of air.

Her eyes were empty, and she kept changing channels. Max who was beside her looked at her and said in a low voice, "Do you want to go out?"

"Yes."

Leila replied with conditioned response. Then she immediately wanted to slap herself to death. She knew very well about Max's personality, so her answer was like courting death.

But today was doomed to be a horrible day for Leila. Max by her side didn't get angry but replied to her positively, "Then get out."

Leila really wanted to give herself a pinch and wondered if she was dreaming. She felt as if she was in a sweet dream for Max made a compromise to her today. Although she really wanted to make him behave like this, she didn't feel comfortable when it really happened.

Once again, Leila mocked her constitution of masochist and decided to confess to Max, "Well, you seem to be a little different today..."

Leila's tone kept between the degree of middle and low. For Max, she never dared to speak loud. The gentleness of her tone made herself feel her flesh creep.

"What's the difference?"

Hearing that, Leila froze as Max stared at her. Then she opened her mouth but said nothing. When she finished her words, she clearly sensed the dangerous aura that Max radiated. She believed that she had to bear the punishment as long as she dared to say the next sentence.

"Well, you can go to the farm and deal with the business."

Max's tone became indifferent as before, and Leila was relieved to hear that. She knew that he would turn back to his usual state because of her words. Though she had to keep him on guard all the time

because of that, it was still much more relaxed than what he was like today. She nodded and said, "I see."

As she spoke, Leila turned around and was about to leave the apartment, but she was stopped by Max behind her. She looked back at him. With an indifferent expression on his face, Max slowly stood up and walked up to her. Under her astonished gaze, Max picked her up again as if he was extremely keen on holding her in this way. He lifted her up and threw her on the passenger seat.

Leila quickly straightened her back and looked at Max who was walking around the car. "Are you going with me?" She couldn’t help asking.

Max looked at her indifferently and there seemed to be a hint of strangeness in his tone, "I'm going to inspect the situation."

Leila nodded and then retorted. She couldn't refute what Max said. As the boss of the farm, he did have a reason to inspect the farm before it was completed.

Leila thought of the farm, and then she recalled the punishment he gave her at the wedding.

Unconsciously, her face turned dark again. If he did expose her identity as he said, all her efforts would be wasted.

Leila didn’t want that kind of thing would happen. After two days of getting along with each other, she gradually forgot about it. Now that he reminded her, she returned to her previous state immediately. She was extremely hospitable towards Max. She said, "Leave the matter of the farm to me. You don't have to worry."

Hearing that, Max squinted at her and didn't answer. Leila wrinkled her nose as she felt deep distrust in his eyes. She paused for a while and suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart. Indeed, she was

inferior compared with the ability of Max.

Taking the design drawing of the farm as an example, she had already known the ability of Max.

Leila was not as capable as Max, so in today's society, she could only listen to the words of the person who was a little better than herself with the intention to survive.

Leila paid all her attention on thinking about how to perfect the farm.

The farm was basically completed, and there was only one thing left, which was publicity.

The publicity of the farm could not took advantage of celebrities like some articles. The farm was described as the farm, but in fact, it was a resort. Hence, the promotion of the resort could not made use of celebrities.

Leila was struggling on this part. After all, this was the last part. If they couldn't put a perfect end to it, then it would probably become the biggest shortcoming of their project.

If the promotion didn't work well, they would suffer tremendous losses. Leila knew well that she couldn't disappoint Max since he made her be fully in charge of the farm, and most importantly, she couldn't let him look down upon her, like now. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
