Chapter 117 A Special Punishment

"Well, it was really a coincidence."

Leila explained and then frowned. She felt something was wrong. If she were Max, she would not believe her explanation. But in fact, this was the real process of her meeting with Charles.

It was indeed a coincidence, but their words at this moment seemed to cover up the truth.

"Coincidence?"

As expected, even she didn't believe herself, let alone her explanation. Obviously, Max had doubts in her answer by asking such a question.

"It's really a coincidence."

Leila didn't know what to say except that. If she explained more, it would make her look more like a liar.

"Is it really a coincidence to meet him as soon as you walked out of the room?"

Leila nodded. What Max said was the process of their meeting, and it was not a falsehood.

Obviously, Max didn't believe her, and Leila also found herself a little weird when they met.

It would be too far fetched to say that it was a coincidence, though the truth was the truth.

Leila had given up explaining at all. She knew that no matter what happened, she would be the one to be blame. The person who leaked her information was indeed successful. This time, she really couldn't find a hundred excuses to justify herself.

"Tell me, what punishment do you want this time ?"

Said Max in an indifferent tone. It was really appropriate to say such shocking words in such a flat tone.

He said calmly just like ," Did you have lunch today? 'What he said drove Leila crazy. How could she not believe that she was framed? She must be the only one who was out of luck.

Max would punish her with the words she explained to him as if in the mode of their getting along, there was only punishment and being punishment.

Since when did they become this degree that she is so free to choose the punishment? Leila heaved a sigh, feeling that her life was so dark.

Someone had pushed her into the abyss from nowhere. And what was more pathetic was that after she fell into the abyss, she didn't even know who pushed her.

She died for no reason. Anyone would get angry. She blurted out almost without thinking, "I can accept your punishment, but you should let me know who told you the news. I will die without any reason."

It was the first time for Leila to say something like that to Max. She completely ignored the fact that she had no human rights at the moment. Such a tone would have made Max furious, but because of her words, half of the anger that had been piled up in the heart had disappeared.

"You know how to die. Did I say I want you to die?"

Leila was shocked when she heard it. She felt that she was doomed today after saying something without thinking, but Max's answer was far beyond her expectation.

How many times did he surprise her?

It seemed that from when, Max front of her was no longer as cold-blooded as before, and she had the opportunity to negotiate with him. Moreover, she was not so afraid of him as before, and she even got used to his being cool to her.

What made her even more terrified was that she got more and more accustomed to the existence of Max. She even firmly remembered all his likes and interests, which was a kind of reflexive action. That was a result of Max's permanent care for

he farm, and farm's people didn't hate her as others. Therefore, the farm was her another home.

Though it sounded a bit pretentious, Leila really liked the farm and everyone in it.

When she went out, she found that Robert had been waiting at the door. Now he had taken over Mr. Zhang's work. He picked her up every day and sent her to and off work, and monitor her schedule by the way.

When he saw Leila, his eyes stopped for a second. Leila avoided eye contact with Robert, because she knew who he was.

After all, he was not Mr. Zhang, but her former schoolmate. At that time, she had never thought that she would become the kind of person she hated, using her body to exchange for benefits.

She could totally understand why so many people stared at her with different eyes.

"Good morning."

Robert greeted. Seeing this, Leila was a little awkward. She then greeted, "good morning."

After getting in the car, there was silence again. The atmosphere was a little embarrassing. Robert asked, "are you still going to the company?"

Leila shook her hand, "We're going to the farm today."

Although Max didn't allow her to go to the farm last time, it didn't mean that she could never go there again.

Moreover, Leila was also told by Max that she had to prepare everything for the farm before the press conference. Although she had asked her employees to do it last time, she didn't know what had happened. She was going to the farm to inspect it today.

Robert glanced at her from the rearview mirror, but with an inexplicable expression on his face, Leila lowered her eyes slightly to avoid eye contact with him. Both of them kept silent on the way.

After arriving at the destination, Leila got off the car and walked directly into the farm.

Robert looked at her back with an unpredictable expression on his face.

It was not until her figure disappeared at the corner that he withdrew his sight. He looked at her inexplicably.

After escaping from his sight, Leila breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, she couldn't face Robert frankly.

She straightened her back and took her mind back. Then she turned her attention to the farm.
