Secret Crush

Chapter 39 Set A Trap (Part One)

Leila waited for a long time, but he still didn't answer. Finally, she drew back her attention and noticed her own posture. She quickly sat down and continued to look for the medicine.

Although she didn't have the obligation to take care of Max, out of kindness, she decided to look for medicine for him. However, she was not strong enough, so after searching for half a day, she still couldn't find a suitable medicine.

Frustrated, she put down the medicine box and turned her eyes to Max. In a pleading tone, she asked, "which kind of antipyretic is it?"

Seeming to be difficult, Max didn't make a sound. Leila sat on the bed, looked at him, and then slowly got out of the bed. Since she couldn't get the answer, wasn't she allowed to ask others?

When she went downstairs, a maid was making breakfast. Seeing her, the maid nodded slightly and said, "good morning, Miss Song."

Holding the medicine box, Leila asked, "which one is the antipyretic?"

The maid took a look at her and came to her side. She took out a bottle of medicine from the medicine box and said, "Miss Song, are you sick?"

Leila hurriedly waved her hands, "no, it's not me. It's Max."

Hearing this, the maid quickly said, "Max can't take this medicine."

Leila stopped, looked back and asked, "why?"

The maid did not answer, but turned to the living room, took out a box from the drawer and gave it to Leila: "give Sir this medicine."

Glancing at the box, Leila didn't think too much and went upstairs.

Sitting on the sofa leisurely, Max didn't respond when he saw Leila. Leila held a glass of water and said, "take it."

Hearing that, Max stared at her deeply. At first, a wood wolf stared at its own prey. Seeing the expression in his eyes, Leila could not help but shiver. She walked forward and said, "you're sick. You should take medicine."

Hearing this, Max replied with a hoarse voice, "you are medicine."

Such a bold flirtation made Leila blush. She felt the warmth of the quilt passed from her palm to her limbs. She replied, "eat it first..."

As she lost her balance, the water in the glass splashed to the ground. She clung to Max and didn't know how to react.

Maybe because he was sick, he only felt that the person in front of him looked particularly beautiful. He turned over and saw that she was obviously flustered. He lifted the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly.

A sense of burning in his body made the two burn down completely.

The fight lasted till noon. After a fierce fight, Leila felt his temperature fading away miraculously. She had to doubt what she had seen this morning was not a fever, but the man's primitive desire.

Thinking of the appointment she had made with Bertha at noon, Leila was thinking about how to leave the apartment in front of Max. She said with hesitation, "can I go out for a while?"

Every time she made requests, her tone was always soft with pleading, like a whining cat, softly scratching his heart.

"What do you want?" asked Max in an indifferent tone

Leila pursed her lips, "I have something to deal with."

Hearing that, Max's eyes froze and he didn't answer. Instead, he waited for Leila to explain her purpose clearly. While the latter understood what she meant, she added, "it's about my mother."

The only reason Leila didn't tell a lie was that she wanted to fight against Bertha, fight against Johnson, for her mother.

Hearing that, Max took a deep look at her and released her hand from her embrace. A tinge of joy appeared in Leila's eyes. She got up quickly from his arms, so fast that he was stunned.

"30 minutes,"

Leila knew what he meant. It was the best he could give her 30 minutes. She nodded her head, quickly dressed herself up and left the apartment.

The driver, Mr. Zhang, had been waiting for her at the door for a long time. When he saw her, he laughed and said, "Miss Song, you get up so late today."

Leila looked at her watch and said, "Mr. Zhang, we're not going to the company today."

Mr. Zhang had started the car as she got in. He had been a driver for many years, so he knew that there must be something urgent waiting for him.

Leila told him the address and Mr. Zhang drove to the destination. Soon they came to the place. Leila quickly got off the car and entered the cafe. A man sitting on the left let out a sigh of relief when he saw her.

Leila exchanged a glance with him, which was sort of a secret signal.

Why didn't she prepare well for the meeting with Bertha? She had to take advantage of this opportunity to pull Bertha out of the entertainment circle, and it was bound to be contacted by reporters.

She looked around and found that Bertha was sitting in the center of the cafe. She couldn't help laughing, 'she is really putting on herself as a superstar, swaggering around no matter what she does. However, this is also a good thing, which is exactly what she wants.'. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Leila quietly walked to her. A hint of anger appeared on Bertha's charming face, "Miss Song, you are so good at putting on airs. You are half an hour late!"

With a smile on her face, Leila took a look at Bertha and said, "sorry for keeping you waiting."

Without a single word, she went on with what she had done for Bertha. Although Bertha looked unhappy, she let it go. She had a more important thing to do today.

"I believe you have known it, Miss Song. Max's first love has come back."

As Bertha didn't do much foreshadowing and got right to the point, Leila was shocked and then thought of the relationship between Max and Rosa. She had always thought that they might be childhood playmates, but unexpectedly they were lovers. However, what did this have to do with her?

She kicked the question back calmly and said, "Miss Bertha, I can't understand what you said."

Seeing that she was pretending to be silly, Bertha did not expose her. She continued, "today, I want to cooperate with you."
