Chapter 129
Maximus! She wondered why he was here too.
Naomi was surprised to see Maximus in the car beside her.
Maximus grinned. “Are you here on a business trip too?”
Naomi nodded. “Yes! I need to gather some information for a case.”
Maximus smiled faintly. “Let’s have dinner together since we’ve bumped into each other.”
Before Naomi could respond, a black Maybach suddenly stopped next to the car. The driver’s window rolled down, and a voice came through. “Sure! I’ve already made a reservation.”
Recognizing Brendan’s voice, Naomi turned to look at the Maybach, only to see him behind the driver’s seat with a cigarette in hand. His gaze was cold, looking as if he had caught her red–handed.
Maximus smiled when he saw Brendan. “Brendan is here too.”
Brendan took a drag of his cigarette and shrugged. “I’m accompanying my wife on a business trip.”
Once he finished speaking, he snuffed out the remaining cigarette and looked indifferently at Naomi. “Get
in.”
Seeing this, Naomi turned back to Maximus. “See you later, Maximus.”
“Sure.” Maximus nodded before instructing his driver to follow Brendan’s car.
Naomi got in the Maybach, and Brendan turned to her sarcastically. “You seem close to Maximus.”
Naomi glanced at him. “I didn’t know he was here. Lay off.”
When the walter started serving the food, Brendan filled their glasses. Years of not meeting had ensured the conversation flowed, and the amount of drinks they had also increased,
After finishing a box of beer, Maximus didn’t look too good. Naomi advised, “That’s probably enough.”
