Secret Crush novel Chapter 176

Leila didn't know why Rosa was here. Maybe she was told about this by Max, but she didn't know.

But this kind of situation still made her a little uncomfortable, and she kept rejecting Rosa from the bottom of her heart. It was not because Rosa was Max's childhood sweetheart, or she was his former lover, but her attitude with one-sided attitude made her feel uncomfortable.

Although her relationship with Max wasn't as stiff as before and they were even more harmonious. But as for the topic of "Rosa", she couldn't bring it up in front of Max naturally.

It was not because she was afraid that Max would have different opinions with her because of this matter, but because she couldn't open her mouth to say that. After all, she still didn't like Rosa.

Surely, there would be magnet conflicts between a person who was belonging to a rival in love. If she and Rosa were two irrelevant people, they wouldn't reject them so much. However, there was Max between them, which made them impossible to become friends.

Even the average person would not be like that.

Even if Leila didn't provoke Rosa, Rosa would take the initiative to attack her. Such a result was not what Leila wanted. She just wanted to quietly do her part.

But he also deeply understood that if a woman was determined to be with a man, she would never give up so easily. Just like her current relationship with Max, she would not easily give up.

She could understand what was on Rosa's mind, but it didn't mean that she would make a concession.

The final result would still depend on the two of them. Who could stay longer in the heart of Max.

Compared with the past, Leila's mind was a totally different one. In the past, she just wanted to escape and do her own job. She didn't want to get involved in the resentment between them. But now she had a totally different idea.

She wanted to seize the happiness she should have. Since she and Max both had feelings for each other, why couldn't they continue? Leila was always a woman with no sense of shame in her heart.

So Leila felt relaxed after she made up her mind. She glanced at Rosa, who was still standing there and smiling.

She would not attack unless she was attacked. But if anyone crossed her line, she would not hesitate to fight back.

After all, Leila was not a coward. As long as she was threatened, she would give out her instinctive reaction. She hoped that Rosa could understand her. She didn't want to be so shameless.

She wasn't the Virgin Mary. She wouldn't tolerate any situations.

On the other hand, both of them knew that Rosa was not a benevolent woman, and they were not going to let go of each other easily. It was just a matter of time.

After calming herself down, Leila walked up to the sofa and sat down. At that moment, Max was talking with Senior Mr. Mu upstairs. Then, Rosa came over and sat beside her. They didn't talk with each other, as if the atmosphere was in a dead silence.

When Max came downstairs, he saw the scene that two women sat on the sofa and didn't talk to each other. Leila looked indifferent all the time, as if nothing had happened, but Rosa was not so calm.

A crack appeared on her elegant face. When she saw him, she immediately calmed down and smiled at him.

Hearing her refusal, Max paused, but instead of giving her a smile, he walked up to them calmly.

"He's not feeling well today. Let's go back."

Hearing what he said, the smile on Rosa's face froze all of a sudden. She didn't know whether he said that to make her feel reassured or he just simply wanted her to go away. However, she couldn't go upstairs to ask about Senior Mr. Mu's health condition. She could do nothing but grit her teeth with hatred.

"How about we go together, Max?"

She said so, but Max said in an indifferent tone, "You go first. I still have something to do."

Hearing this, Leila couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Senior Mr. Mu had not shown any discomfort on the phone with Max this morning, which could be judged from that he was fine. How could he suddenly be uncomfortable at this time?

But when she saw Rosa take her bag and walk out of the door, she suddenly realized that he was trying to send her away.

Leila looked at Max, lifted her eyebrows and said sarcastically, "Isn't it good to do so?"

Hearing her question, Max took a look at her with a smile.

"It's not a big deal."

His words affirmed Leila's conjecture. The reason for him to do so was just to send Rosa away.

But was it really a good thing for his childhood sweetheart?

The reason why she asked like that was not to confirm her guess, but more with speculations.

Rosa had been with Max for such a long time and she couldn't believe that he could be so cruel to a woman who had loved him so much. She didn't dare to think about what her future would be like. She had already made several examples before, such as Bertha and Rosa. Whether she was going to do in their way or finding a new way, it was hard to tell.

However, there was still something wrong in her heart, and she couldn't tell what it was. She always felt that this kind of Max was strange to her.

"Senior Mr. Mu is about to come down. You should behave well."

Hearing Max said like that, Leila was shocked.

She didn't think too much. Was he implying something with such a tone and words?

After all, such words would only be said when a normal couple met their parents or made a decision. Now he was asking her to behave well in front of Senior Mr. Mu. Did it mean that he had decided to do it with her?

When Max saw her surprised face, he bent down to look into her eyes.
