Max was here. And she was afraid other people might find out their real relationship if they spent too much time together.
But she could barely say no to an enthusiastic invitation, so she accepted it in the end.
Most importantly, they only needed to work in the morning tomorrow and the work for this time would all be finished.
Everyone was relaxed, so they all wanted to have some fun together.
Laura didn't want to be the wet blanket.
With her affirmative answer, the photographer went to talk with other people about the place for dinner in a good mood.
Laura wasn't fully relaxed until now. She was finally alone.
It was about 5. Everything was covered in the gold light at sunset.
They now were at an ancient European castle.
Standing on it, facing the orange sun, she was amazed by the breathtaking view.
All of a sudden, she felt warmth from her hand.
It was Max at her back.
Next to her, he also gazed at the setting sun in the distance. "So beautiful," he said.
Laura smiled and squinted in the wind.
"Yeah, it's amazing."
After a while of silence, Max suddenly said, "Have you heard it?"
"What?" Laura asked.
"If you make a wish to the ocean or the sunset, your wish will come true," Max said.
Laura was surprised, then turned to look at the endless ocean on the horizon.
On the surface of the ocean, the reflected setting sun seemed to be washed into shattered pieces of gold by the waves. The sea water was dyed red.
A faint smile appeared on her face.
"Do you believe it?"
"I believe in everything beautiful," Max replied.
Laura was struck dumb for a second.
But she soon understood it.
It wasn't a lie.
He indeed believed in everything beautiful.
Max seemed to be a playboy on the outside, but he actually cherished sincere relationships.
He was clearly aware of the forces of darkness in this world, but he refused to join them. He chose to stay kind and simple instead.
He was still a kid at heart.
Laura felt greatly encouraged.
All of a sudden, Max held her hand tight.
"There are people behind us," she immediately said, feeling a little nervous.
"So what?"
Max smiled, "They are occupied. No one is watching us."
It was true, but Laura was still slightly worried.
At the same time, she somehow felt the pleasure of having an affair.
Gee, she was as bad as him now!
By a step ahead, Max covered her in his arms.
Laura was petite, and he was about 6'1 feet tall. So he could easily cover her with his body.
"How's that? Nobody can see you now. They won't know you're in my arms. We can enjoy the beautiful sunset together for a while." said Max with a smile. Laura didn't understand what he was doing until this moment.
