Having been turned down by Liliana, Cassius gritted his teeth and looked at Maximilian. He was about to take his anger out on Maximilian because he knew Liliana must have feelings for him.
He wondered what was so good about Maximilian and why Liliana liked him. He wanted to know it right now.
He thought he was much better than Maximilian, and there was no way that Liliana would fell in love with a poor guy like Maximilian. That was so unfair. He swore he would do better than Maximilian.
Maximilian could feel Cassius's resent towards him. This was unfair to him. He didn't know when and where he had offended this guy, and why he had to treat him like this.
Cassius pointed to Maximilian and said, "Liliana, do you like this guy?"
Liliana did have feelings for Maximilian, but she hadn't tell Maximilian about it. Now that Cassius just said it in public, she felt a bit embarrassed.
But then she changed her mind. She thought it would be a good idea if she admitted it so that Cassius would give up on her.
Therefore, instead of arguing, she nodded her head.
Cassius wasn't the only one that was heartbreaking. For many people in this place, Liliana is their dream girl. They had never thought that she would end up with Maximilian.
They were all very upset because they thought themselves to be better than Maximilian in all aspects. They wondered why Liliana didn't even take a look at them. They stared at Maximilian with a furious gaze.
Maximilian's mouth twitched because he could tell Liliana was using him to turn Cassius down, so that they could get away from here, but that had made Maximilian the target of all.
Her answer was struck Cassius like thunder. He nearly fell on his knees. He glared at Maximilian with fury in his chest. This was just like how he had imagined. Liliana liked this guy.
Cassius looked at Maximilian as if he wanted to eat him alive. Maximilian felt this so awkward, and he knew he met big trouble again.
Cassius still couldn't process the fact. He said to Liliana, "You must be joking. Why would you like this guy? He doesn't deserve you!"
Liliana replied indifferently when she heard this, "That's none of your business. What we have between us has nothing to do with you. Do you understand?"
Cassius became speechless when he heard this. Liliana sounded so decisive, and it seemed that she had no place in his heart for him at all.
Just by then, the dishes were served. Cassius came up with some ideas. He grinned a smile and said, "Liliana, you're so beautiful tonight. Please at least let me buy you this dinner. A real man would never let his date pay the bills."
He said and he looked at Maximilian. His intention was quite obvious.
Maximilian knew what Cassius was doing, but he wasn't provoked. Cassius was just trying to feel superior over him by saying that.
Liliana grinned with dissatisfaction, "It's my treat today. He just did me a great favor."
Cassius didn't believe that. Liliana's company was ranked in the top 100 in H City. A poor guy like Maximilian can't help her in any way. Therefore, Cassius affirmed that she made it up to save Maximiliam's face.
Cassiuscontinued, "Stop saying that. I know you're lying to me. How could he help you in any way? Not to bother you with trouble is the best he can do, I assume. Maybe he asked you to take him here, because he had no money. He wanted to dine and dash."
