Laura nodded.
To avoid embarrassment, she pointed to the sofa and said, "have a seat. Let me get you some water."
Max nodded instead of refusing.
After she handed him a glass of water, there was an awkward silence.
She wondered why he had reappeared after disappearing for so long. She was half nervous and half confused.
She didn't know what to say for a moment.
Max took a sip of water and put the glass down.
He lay back on the sofa, stretching leisurely. Then he threw her a faint smile.
"Why are you so nervous? Come here."
He patted the sofa.
Laura hesitated. Although they had a pact and she knew it was inevitable to meet him, she didn't want to have sex with him so soon.
She somehow resisted physical contact with him.
So she stood motionless where she was.
Max saw her through from her reaction.
He smiled without anger.
He withdrew his hand and casually touched his ring on his hand, saying with a cold voice.
"Do you have anything to tell me?"
Laura froze for a moment, not understanding what he meant.
What?
What did she need to tell to him?
Max narrowed his eyes at her blank look.
His mouth twisted in a sneer.
"Don't tell me you haven't seen the news online."
Now Laura realized what he just said.
That was an embarrassing situation for her.
Shoot! She was too careless.
When the news broke, she only thought about how to explain to Lynn, but she forgot about Max.
He was possessive, and very protective of the woman he loved.
Whether the news was real or not, he would not allow it to exist.
Laura shook her head at the thought and mumbled, "I, I saw it. I was going to call you right before you came."
It was such a blatant lie that Max saw through it at a glance.
He sneered, "just about to call me? Don't try to fool me!"
He knocked the watch on his wrist and said, "The photos were exposed two days ago, and 48 hours have passed. You're saying that you were about to call?"
