How could the person that was able to speak out her weakness and use it without hesitation have special feeling for her? It seems that Leila was really self-righteous this time. This could also be reflected in her answer when Maria asked her today.
It was absolutely impossible between Leila and Max.
"A month."
Max's words were brief and to the point. An ordinary person would absolutely not understand what he meant. Yet Leila understood what he meant in an instant. Lowering her eyes, she replied in a low voice, "I know."
Leila couldn't say "no" to him. Even though she was extremely unhappy now, she could not disobey him. After all, she deserved this punishment for offending him.
Living in a place without any human rights, who could still talk about happiness?
From the day her mother be in a vegetative state, Leila was destined to have no chance to be happy. With the mission of recovering the family on her shoulder, Leila had to force herself to be strong. She changed from an innocent girl to a woman who could swallow pains and play tricks.
It just happened overnight. Yet only the people involved, like Leila, could know what was going on during this period.
"Go back."
Again, Max said these two words simply and to the point understated words again, and Leila answered in a low voice, "Oh."
Then Leila went upstairs obediently, while Max kept his eyes on her until she disappeared at the stairway. A hint of strangeness rose from his heart made he frown. Such a strange feeling enveloped him and made him uncomfortable.
The relationship between them seemed to return to the beginning. They distrusted and sounded out each other, with vigilance. In Leila's eyes, Max was just the dangerous and domineering man, and in his eyes, Leila was still the timid and stubborn woman in the past.
Both of them were subconsciously reluctant to accept such a change, but they had to.
Leila waited for a long time in the bedroom, but no one came up. Then she knew that Max must have been out for social activities tonight. He seemed to be very busy recently, but she didn't know what he was busy with. After all, she had no right to interfere in the affairs of the Mu Group, except the matter of the farm.
When Leila was about to fall asleep in the middle of the night, she was suddenly held by someone from behind. Awakened by the sound, she was not at ease until she felt the familiar breath and temperature.
"Good girl, it's me."
Such an intimate gesture and a few words has happened a lot. It seemed that Max was fond of addressing and comforting her like this, even though such consolations still couldn't work on Leila.
However, Leila couldn't resist anything that Max was fond of.
Undoubtedly, they had sex again that night.
Next morning, Leila woke up as usual, but the aching all over her body made her frown and refuse to get up.
Max was no longer beside her. He was probably busy with the press conference held on the farm. After all, this project was relatively influential.
Thus, it required many kinds of preludes.
Pushing the farm into the market would cost a lot of energy and money, which can't be underestimated. Leila was sure that without Max's strategy and design plan, she couldn't have done it o her own.
"Miss Leila, Mr. Max asked you to come back for lunch today."
‘Come back for lunch?’ The maid's words surprised Leila, because since she came to this apartment, they had never had lunch here at noon.
On the contrary, he made it clear that he wanted her to come back to the apartment. Therefore, what Max meant was obvious, that was he wanted Leila meet his father.
Leila pressed her lips and stopped thinking about things that she couldn't figure out. Since things has happened, she should deal with them with all her heart. Although the man in front of her looked very kind, she knew that he has developed the Mu Group to such a great degree, which meant he was not normal person and and the means he had couldn’t be imagined by her either.
Just like being n front of Max, Leila was always energetic and wholeheartedly responded to Matt.
"Hasn't Max gotten back yet?"
Matt asked this question. Leila nodded, "Not yet, but I think he will come back soon."
Leila looked at the time and it was almost 12 o'clock. And she knew it was impossible for Max to miss lunch before 12, which was both his strict requirement to himself and his habit of biological clock.
After hearing what Leila said, Matt nodded.
"How long have you known him?"
Leila was very nervous. She didn't know why Matt came here and why he asked her about Max, but she had to answer. After thinking for a while, she replied, "It has been almost two months."
Even she herself was in a trance when she said this. She has known Max for two months. At the beginning, she was on full alert. Now, she could feel subtle changes of his mood. These changes happened as time went by.
From another point of view, she has just known Max for two months, but they have already been in the current state. It seemed that they have made too much progress.
However, in this fast-moving city, their progress seemed to be suitable for the occasion. They made progress so fast that people would be surprised.
"Two or three months. It's a little short."
Leila was a little confused about what Matt meant by saying "it's a little short". Or in other words, what was his purpose of coming here today?
But it turned out that Leila couldn't guess the thoughts of the Mu Family with her brain. The so-called elite inheritance was just like this. He hid his emotions perfectly, so that no one could see the slightest hint.
When Leila was racking her brains, the door was pushed open. She didn't look back this time, as she was sure that Max has come back.
