Secret Crush

Chapter 20 Design (Part One)

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.

After passing the traffic lights and the crowd, Leila came to the university she went before. Most of the scenery here haven't changed, and it was almost the same as in her memory, but people were totally different. The couple in the past have now become enemies, and the former friends have become strangers.

Max parked the car under the green shade, and Leila was sitting inside. She looked out of the window, but found no one at the school gate. She frowned and pondered, 'As a matter of fact, I have been spending a long time at the gate of the company, and Astrid and Veron should have been there earlier. Why aren't there anyone?'

Max took a look at Leila. Seeing that she did not get out of the car, he raised his good-looking eyebrows slightly and said in a low voice, "Who are you waiting for?"

Leila pressed her lips and said, "I'm waiting for Veron,"

Feeling the extremely low pressure by her side, Leila quickly added, "and Astrid."

There was a hint of expression change on the face of Max. Then he said indifferently, "What are you going to do?"

Leila's eyes were shining as she watched the figure in the distance moving toward her slowly. "I'm... catching adultery in the act. "

Hearing her playful tone, Max was not as cold as usual. He put his hand behind his head, and leaned against the back of the car. He looked like a fox enjoying the sunshine in the afternoon. Of course, Leila didn't have the courage to say it out. But she couldn't ignore her rapid heartbeat, so once again, she looked into the distance.

Dressing in a sportswear, Veron came slowly. In the past, Leila liked his this kind of dressing most. Putting aside everything, Veron was really a good-looking man, but it was only limited to his good genes. As for his behavior, he was really inferior to other people. As he was now with Daisy, they really match with each other!

After hesitating for a long while, Veron still didn't make a phone call. In the car, Leila observed every expression on his face. She knew that he must be anxious. Also, Leila was a little anxious. After all, a scene of a person alone was quite boring. Speaking of Astrid, she was really good at spending time, who still didn't come after they have waited for a long time. Everyone was anxious because she still didn't show up. At thus time, a figure in light green slowly came over from a place of the school.

When passing by Leila's car, this person slightly paused, which made Leila feel anxious. After all, without the window membrane, Leila would be exposed. Fortunately, this person did not stop. After a slight pause, this person continued to go forward. With a sigh of relief, Leila realized that someone cast a glance at her, so she turned her eyes to look at him. When Leila looked him in the eye, she saw a pretty calm face. "Is this what you want?" Max asked calmly.

Leila nodded reflectively and said, "let's wait and see. There will be a good show."

Leila did not realize that her attitude towards Max was no longer as stiff or indifferent as before. As for this change in her, Max accepted it unconsciously. A delicate atmosphere spread between the two of them, as if one more word was said, then there would be some sort of chemical reaction between them.

Leila looked away with an awkward expression, but then she was attracted by a scene in front of her. On seeing Veron, Astrid became obviously excited. This was the same as Leila has conjectured that a woman would always be losing control of her emotions when she saw the man she has been loving for many years. A smile appeared on the face of Leila, who saw the two persons in front of her in a relaxed way. And not long after, something that made Leila excited has happened.
