Standing in front of the floor to ceiling window, Max was not in the mood for business anymore since he knew that Charles was back. With all kinds of documents on the table open, he was not in the mood to read carefully.
As soon as Robert walked in and saw the back of the man, he knew that the man was in a daze. Robert walked over and raised his voice. "You're in a daze again?"
He turned around and threw him a displeased glance. "What's up?"
A white delicate invitation card was passed to the man, "it's from the Qiao Group."
Staring at the delicate invitation, Max had a bad feeling. The Qiao Group was in a dire situation now. Was there any good news?
"Don't worry. It's not like what you think. It is the Party for Charles has officially taken over of the Qiao Group, and Senior Mr. Qiao has also invited you."
Holding back his nervous emotion, Max took a casual look at it and said, "go to tell him that I will be there on time!"
Robert seemed to see through his intention as all his attention was on Leila now. He would never listen to what he said. "Do you really want to go there?"
Hearing this, Max rolled his eyes at Robert and Robert left in silence.
He not only had to go, but also had to meet with Charles.
As night fell, the time for the party got closer and closer. Max drove straight to the destination. Although most people outside knew the Qiao family's crisis, there were many people through the cars parked outside.
Senior Mr. Qiao and Charles stood at the gate to greet the guests.
Max walked up to Charles and slightly nodded. Charles looked at him with a long face.
"Welcome, Mr. Mu." Senior Mr. Qiao said with a smile.
"Mr. Mu, if I remember correctly, I really didn't want to invite you."
Max took out the invitation and handed it to Charles, but he didn't say anything. Charles looked at his slender fingers without any words and Max put the invitation into his arms with contempt.
The atmosphere was a little strange. Senior Mr. Qiao rebuked, "what are you talking about? Mr. Mu is here in his rush."
Max kept his eyes on Charles. The more this man behaved unnaturally when he saw him, the more it meant that he knew where Leila was. Then Max raised his eyebrows and said to Charles, "Congratulations, Mr. Qiao!"
Charles ignored him and continued to greet other guests. Max looked at Senior Mr. Qiao indifferently. "It seems that the new president of your company has a little..."
Senior Mr. Qiao grinned awkwardly, held Charles's sleeves so that he could observe Max. However, when Charles glanced at him indifferently, he didn't give him any chance to talk.
Max followed him a few steps. "So are you angry from embarrassment?"
All of a sudden, Charles turned around and put his hands in his pockets. "I can't believe that the great president, Mr. Mu, has a hobby of tracking people. I'm going to the bathroom. What are you going to do with me?"
Max knew Charles did it on purpose, but he could do it for Leila.
Charles shook the water in his hands a
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
dinner tonight. "
Leila nodded. But what Charles said still made her uneasy. He was implying that she was waiting for her husband who would come home late.
"You don't have to come here if it's too late."
"Did I wake you up, Leila?"
Leila explained awkwardly, "no, that's not what I meant, Charles. I was worried that it might be unsafe for you to drive too late. Besides, you seemed to have drunk. It's not a good thing to be like this!"
Charles nodded and felt relieved, "Leila, I'm fine. I'm just concerned about you and the baby."
He put it so naturally as if they were a real couple who respect each other like guests. Leila returned to her room hurriedly with a smile.
Charles' mood became better at this moment. He was still unhappy about the coming of Max tonight. Now with a few words of concern from Leila, he leaned against the door happily, and his heart could not be calm for a long time.
Although he wanted to get rid of Max's thorn in Leila's heart, it couldn't be done in a short time. He believed that the stone would replace the stone.
After a good night's sleep, Charles was woken up by a rush of phone rings. He hung up irritably, but the phone kept ringing. He sat up and answered it. Soon he frowned even more, "what do you mean?"
"Max! It must be Max! I know his purpose!"
Standing outside the door, Leila was about to call Charles for breakfast. Before her hand touched the door, she heard Charles's annoyed low shout from inside. She heard the name of Max and heard about the company's economic crisis. She dazed for a moment. Did Max know she was back so soon and used some means to suppress Charles's company, in order to
"Leila, what are you doing here?"
Although Charles was surprised, he was more worried about how much she had heard.
"What happened, Charles? You just..."
Charles covered it up quickly, "no Nothing. Grandpa told me to go to work early, but I'm still sleeping now. "
"Are you kidding me? Tell me what happened. You weren't like this before!"
