Secret Crush novel Chapter 23

The appointed time with Astrid was 12 o'clock at noon the next day. Today, she stayed in bed all day, holding her mobile phone and browsing news, bored. Rumors about the female star, Bertha, were everywhere. They were photographed during dinner with this boss today, and were photographed when she was out of the hotel with that male star tomorrow. There were various reasons.

Squinting at the woman on the screen, Leila didn't say anything. To be honest, Bertha was a beauty, and one could remember her at a glance. But no matter how beautiful she was, she couldn't win his heart? No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't win his heart.

Leila hated to take advantage of other men before. She didn't expect that she would come back to the things she hated.

Life was always dramatic. She didn't know that the man she loved was such a person. She didn't know that her best friend also coveted her boyfriend. Only in the end could she put on a disguise and see the truth clearly, it was better than being kept in the dark.

When Max came back at night, he was still dressed in a suit. His neat appearance didn't make him look strict but more unruly. Clothes were worn by human, and his temperament was from a human. It was rare to see a king like Max.

He took off his coat and looked at her who was sitting on the bed. She behaved well, as if she was waiting for his touch. In fact, when his broad and warm palm touched her head, he was shocked by the soft touch. Leila sat on the bed in a daze, not responding to his action.

"Let's eat."

The simple and indifferent words pulled back her thoughts. Before she could react, her body had been held up. She looked up at the man's chin in front of her, which had a clear outline.

They had dinner together.

It seemed to be Leila's right. She had been used to his behavior. He held her up after dinner, and carried her back to the bedroom to have a good night.

The early morning sun shone on the bedside. Leila woke up on time because of her biological clock. The person beside her had already gone. The injury on her foot seemed not so painful. She looked at it and the swelling had disappeared. If she walked barefoot on the ground, she could bear the pain.

After finishing the breakfast on the table as usual, she went to the company in Mr. Zhang's car. But when she got out of the car, she saw a woman standing at the entrance with a frown.

Bertha? Why was she here?

Obviously, Bertha also saw her. Her pretty face showed a bit of anger. Walking to her in high heels, she said flirtatiously, "let's talk."

Leila stayed calm. Since she had come to look for her voluntarily, it would be too impolite to refuse her. So, she gently stamped her injured foot on the ground, and then she said with a smile, "okay."
