Secret Crush novel Chapter 20

Leila raised her wrist and checked the time on her watch. It was exactly 12 o'clock at noon, so Veron and Astrid should be on the way.

After stopping a car, Leila told the address casually and then leaned over the car window, looking at the passing cars leisurely. Leila wondered whether Daisy would like this gift or not. The taxi passed by a Maybach. Her heart tightened. Leila looked back at the license plate number in a hurry and panicked. ‘Why did he come to the company at this time?’

Leila got out of the car in a hurry, and having no time to took the change, she turned around and rushed to the company. Max was just coming over from the garage. When he saw her in front of the gate of the Song Group, a trace of strangeness flashed across his cold face. Taking advantage of his good height, Max walked to Leila in a few steps. His voice was as low as a cello, "What are you doing here?"

After thinking about it for a while, Leila found it difficult to explain what she was going to do next, so she just said, "I came down to have lunch."

Max took a deep look at her and said in an indifferent tone, "Together."

Leila hated the word 'together' a lot at this time for she was so busy with her own things. She hesitated for a long time and finally said, "I want to go to a place before that."

The latter looked at her with a deeper expression and spoke in a deeper tone, "Where are you going?"

Leila paused for a while, thinking that she would not be able to see the wonderful scene if she kept talking with him, so she said hurriedly, "My former university."

Though noticing her eagerness, Max didn't go along with her words. He just stared at her with a pair of quiet eyes. He didn't move or speak. Leila realized that the man in front of her seemed to be a little angry, so her urgent words slowed down as well. Her words were filled with pleading, "Could you please accompany me to the university?"

Max liked obedient women, and the little woman in front of him was like an obedient cat. When she begged him, her shining eyes made him happy. He didn't answer, but went straight to the garage. Knowing that he had agreed, Leila restrained her joy. She followed him without saying a word.

When Max entered the garage, he went straight into the car, followed by Leila. She quietly glanced at Max sitting on the driver's seat, whose face was stiff, and there was not any expression can be seen from his face. Then Leila asked quietly, "Are we going to the university?"

Taking a deep look at her, Max said in a low voice, "Anywhere else?"

Leila tried to hide her rapture. She felt that the person by her side seemed to be a little different than before. She played with her skirt, with a hint of shyness in the eyes, which was pretty intoxicating. Out of the corner of his eyes, Max saw this expression on her face, and then a glimmer of warmth unexpectedly appeared in his cold and deep eyes.

The car drove slowly towards the university. Leila recalled the two calls she had just made, and a hint of coldness gradually emerged in her clear eyes.
