Chapter 99: 100/The Ruined Moment

Chapter 100:

Julie’s Point of View

I was in desperate need to speak with Max and inform him of Robert’s approval.

I went down to the lower floor where his room was located and knocked on the door with successive knocks that reflected my anxiety.

He opened the door for me, that usual sarcastic smile etched on his face as he said:

"Yes, Miss Julie... I suppose you can’t bear not seeing me."

I bypassed him and entered the room while exhaling in frustration:

"Don’t be ridiculous, Max."

I sat on the edge of his bed, feeling the coldness of the room seeping into my body, and said directly:

"Robert agreed."

He raised an eyebrow in surprise and leaned his massive body toward the closet:

"That fast?"

I shook my head while interlacing my fingers:

"Yes, it was easy to persuade him."

He muttered in a low voice:

"Strange..."

I turned to him seriously and fixed my gaze on his eyes:

"Listen, Max, I don’t want anyone to know that Olivia is the one who hit me... especially Robert."

He asked me while watching my features closely:

"First, you will tell me why she is doing this, and why you don’t want Mr. Robert to know?"

I relaxed my stiffened shoulders and said bitterly:

"Robert doesn’t care about the girls here, Max, and if I tell him that Olivia is doing this to me, it means I have become his... that’s what she told me."

His question caught me off guard when he said:

"And why do you think Mr. Robert would care at all about what Olivia does to you?"

I felt my tongue tie for a moment and said, trying to organize my thoughts:

"I don’t think that; she is just weaving ridiculous ideas in her head."

He took a step toward me and asked curiously:

"What are these ideas?"

I lowered my gaze toward the floor, feeling a heat sweeping over my face out of shame, and whispered:

"She thinks I’m trying to seduce Robert, and she says... she says that I had sex with him."

Max was silent for seconds, then said in a serious tone:

"Everyone knows that Olivia is obsessed with Mr. Robert, but why is she telling you this specifically?"

I answered sharply while shaking my head:

"Because she’s crazy!"

He commented calmly:

"Or maybe there is a reason..."

I knitted my brows and asked him:

"What do you mean?"

He pulled a cigarette from his jacket and lit it, exhaling the smoke slowly as he said:

"That bitch always hits the girls here, but they don’t dare tell Mr. Robert because they don’t even meet him."

He paused for a bit while watching the smoke rise, then continued:

"That’s why I find it strange that you see Mr. Robert and meet him constantly, to the point that you’ve become his personal assistant."

I jumped to my feet, feeling his words like whips accusing me:

"Do you mean that what Olivia says is true? That I am trying to get close to him?"

He raised his hand, calming me down:

"I’m not saying that; I’m just talking to you about what I know."

I screamed with a sincerity that tore my throat:

"I don’t know! and believe me, I never want to see that monster."

He replied in a quiet voice, as if reading between the lines:

"But he wants to see you."

I struck my fist on the edge of the bed in anger:

"Stop it, Max! You’re making me angry!"

He tried to interrupt me:

"I only..."
