Chapter 446 - Uncomfortable Feeling

"Nathan and Natalie?". Asked Julian again, repeating Qiara's question nervously.

Qiara immediately nodded.

"They must be fine because they are enjoying the time they have been together for so long." Said Julian as he turned his gaze to the glass wall next to him which presented a beautiful garden atmosphere.

"Thank goodness. Then, what about Papa and Mama?". Qiara asked again.

"Honey, can we discuss this at home later? Because now I want to have lunch with you". Julian said while stroking Qiara's hand. 

"Yes, my dear husband ...". Qiara replied with a smile. 

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that this afternoon I'm going out of town because I have a photo shoot there". Connect Qiara again.

Julia paused because he felt Qiara had told him too suddenly. 

"How many days?". Asked Julia expressionlessly. 

Qiara felt that it would snow when she saw Julian's expression, it was very scary when he heard that she was going out of town. 

"At most three days".

Julian's expression grew darker because he was heavy apart from Qiara for even a day. 

Quite their separate work, now he had to fight distance and time for three days and it was very troublesome. 

"Are you angry?". Qiara asked doubtfully. 

"Not". Julian replied curtly. 

"Then you have to smile!". Exclaimed Qiara, pinching Julian's cheek with exasperation. 

"Yes". 

Julian forced his smile for Qiara's sake, immediately Qiara was happy to see Julian support her career. 

Not long after that, their order arrived. Julian and Qiara immediately ate their lunch. 

A few moments later. 

"Honey, I have to go now because Andi said that my important client has arrived at the office. Are you okay? I'm staying?". Julian said after reading the message from Andi. 

"It's okay. I can do it myself. Okay, you go there!".

Julian nodded then immediately got up from his chair.

"Honey, wait!". 

Julian stopped and then turned to look at Qiara because he could not ignore the affectionate calls Qiara rarely said to him. 

"Why, dear?". Asked Julian, smiling broadly. 

Without answering Julian's question, Qiara immediately approached. After that she pulled Julian's hand and kissed the back of his hand. 

Instantly Julian's heart was very happy, Qiara looked serious about starting from scratch and paying for all the mistakes she had done to Julian in the past. 

"Thank you for giving me encouragement today. I'll go first!".

Julian did not forget to kiss Qiara's forehead and then left Qiara.

Not long after, Qiara followed Julian out of the restaurant.

Qiara accidentally hit someone in front of the door.

"Forgive me!". Said Qiara while bowing showing her regret.

"Liana?".

Qiara looked up when she heard her pseudonym, suddenly found a man with black skull caps, wearing a gray jacket in front of him.

"Boss Maxwell? Are you all right?". Qiara asked with a complicated expression because to be honest she was always afraid whenever she met Maxwell because Maxwell was a mysterious figure who made her feel scared.

Without answering Qiara's question, Maxwell immediately pulled Qiara and hugged her tightly. Instantly Qiara was shocked so she fell silent stiffly. 

"Liana .. Let me hug you for a moment!". Whispered Maxwell in a soft voice. 

Maxwell tightly embraced Qiara's body that had stolen her heart since their first meeting. 

"Liana ... I do not want you and Julian to be married, I will make sure you are mine and Julian must accept defeat because he will not always win in everything. It's enough that I lost because of Julian". Maxwell thought as he tightened his embrace again.

A moment later, Qiara came to her senses and then pushed Maxwell's body which was holding her tightly. 

"Ahh". Qiara sighed because she managed to escape from Maxwell's embrace which made her tight. 

"Boss, what are you doing?". Qiara asked after catching her breath well. 

"I like you and I want you to be my wife who will accompany me to conquer the world!".

Qiara was surprised to hear Maxwell's statement that was so honest, and even more funny, Maxwell was nowhere to confess to her. 

"Boss, are you kidding me? Please don't make our relationship feel awkward and uncomfortable!". Qiara said as she lowered her head because she didn't dare to look at Maxwell who didn't stop staring at her. 

"Why? Are you refusing me subtly?". Asked Maxwell as he took a step closer to Qiara. Instantly Qiara kept retreating backwards so that she went back into the quiet restaurant. 

Luckily the waitresses didn't care about the two of them because they didn't want to get involved or interfere. 

"Oh my God, what should I do? Should I be honest if I already have a husband? But, what about my career I just started. Whereas in the contract I agreed to not marry before two years. Now, how about this?" . Inner Qiara while clenching her fists in panic.

"That's not what I mean Boss, but Boss has to rethink and see who I am. Boss is the owner of a large company while I am just a small artist who doesn't have a name. How can you like me? Qiara asked in a trembling voice.

"I don't like being rejected, I've always managed to get what I want, love is no exception. To be honest, you remind me of a girl who has the sweetest and most sincere smile".

Qiara felt even more choked by Maxwell's sudden and intimidating confession. 

"Sorry Boss, I don't deserve your special feelings, so I beg the Boss to stop now!". Qiara said with a pleading expression. 

"Oh my God, what am I dealing with? Why should I get involved with my Boss? What is this?". Inner Qiara with a confused expression.

Maxwell smiled at what Qiara said, he did not expect to be rejected twice at a time by the same person. 

"Are you rejecting me because of Julian? The man you treat like a husband? Or, you are Julian's wife?".

Maxwell's question made Qiara freeze and stop stepping back. She suspected that Maxwell had indeed seen her during lunch with Julian earlier.. Not only that, Maxwell also saw her treating Julian very romantically.
