Chapter 553
“Don’t bother.”
“What if there was an emergency!”
Briana reached out to grab the phone from the bedside table and handed it to him, her voice hoarse from emotion.
“There was no rush for these few minutes.”
Maxim took the phone, his eyes filled with deep, dark desire.
“I would let you know later if I was really in a hurry for these few minutes.”
He got out of bed to answer the call. Whatever was said on the other end, his face suddenly turned incredibly ugly.
After hanging up the phone, he turned to Briana, “Briana, there’s been an unexpected emergency at the company, I need to go handle it. Wait for me to come back!”
Briana slowly sat up, holding the blanket and looking at him, “Okay.”
Seeing her like this, Maxim stepped forward, grabbed the back of her head and kissed her hard before he dressed and left.
Maxim had been gone all night, only returning when Briana came downstairs the next morning. His eyes were dark and hollow, clearly showing he hadn’t slept a wink.
Seeing his distressed look, Briana couldn’t help but ask, “Is the situation very serious?”

Maxim shook his head, “It’s okay, it’s already been taken care of.”
“Um, that’s good. Did you stay up all night yesterday? You should go rest now.”
“Alright, call me if you need anything.”
“Mm-hmm.”
It was Sunday today, and the aunt did not come to cook.
After Maxim returned to his bedroom, Briana pondered for a while and decided to make seafood porridge for lunch and stir-fry a few small dishes.
He hadn’t slept all night, so having some porridge at noon was the most suitable.
At noon, just as Briana had finished cooking porridge and was about to wake Maxim up for a meal, he hurriedly came down from upstairs.
