(The Next Day)"Are you going to pick me up?" Michelle smiled as she looked at Max who came down from the car."Yeah." Max nodded as he walked away with a smile.Max sighed as he watched Michelle walk into the company. She hadn't replied to him since he asked her if she was going to go to North East with him. She had been avoiding the topic like a plague.Even though he didn't ask her again after noticing it, he couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with her. Besides, he wasn't able to read her expression nor did he know what was going on in her head.He was just too confused as to what her silence meant. If she was thinking about the fact that she was going to be jobless once they got to North East, then it was just a baseless worry as he was going to arrange one for her should she want.Max sighed as he pushed the thoughts to the back of his mind, since she didn't say anything, he wasn't going to say anything instead. He was sure he would know what her choice was in the next three
Max frowned as he turned around to look at the figure who had just called him. The voice sounded rather familiar to him yet distant which made him wonder who it was."So it's you, huh?" A mocking smile appeared on Max's when he turned around and saw who it was."It hasn't even been a week yet and you're talking as if you'll ever miss me?" Max chuckled, staring at Rachel who was walking towards him with a scowl on her face."What do you think you're doing Max?" Rachel frowned at Max."What did I do?" Max frowned, feeling rather confused as to what his mother-in-law was accusing him of.Even though they weren't on good terms, he was sure that she wouldn't act rashly when they met again, but here she was, behaving as if he had done something grave to her."You mean to say you don't know what you've done?" Rachel frowned."Yeah, we've not crossed each other's way for quite some time now, how would I know what I've done wrong?" Max furrowed his brow feeling rather confused."And you still
"And here you are Michelle." Max smiled, turning around to look at his wife who had just arrived.It seemed like she had just walked out of the company, and was maybe attracted by the commotion as there was no one in the company, so their voices were rather loud."Michelle, you won't be going to North East with him." Rachel frowned as she turned to look at her daughter."Mum, Max's my husband, so I'll go with him wherever he wants." Michelle shook her head as she said stubbornly.A smile appeared on Max's lips hearing this. It seemed like there was no need to argue with his mother-in-law"Michelle," Rachel sighed as she looked at her daughter, "You don't know how dangerous North East is, it's not a place where one without enough footings can just head to.""I know Mum, but there's nothing you'll say that'll make me change my mind." Michelle shook her head.She had long heard stories about how dangerous North East was. She wouldn't have thought of work if it was not for the fact that i
"Max, didn't you say the flight is by 2." Michelle frowned as she looked at the watch anxiously."Yes, wifey." Max's voice came from within the house as it sounded like he was doing something."It's almost two, aren't we going to be late," Michelle yelled."Calm down, wifey, we won't be late, the plane will wait for us even if we are late." Max chuckled as he walked out of the room pulling two bags."Wait for you?" Michelle frowned as she glared at Max.In the past two days, Max's boasting skill had reached a new whole height as he even dared to say that the plane would wait for them even if they were late."Won't you take any of your luggage?" Michelle frowned looking at the bags in Max's hands.The bags in his hands were not hers, he had insisted on leaving behind everything saying they would get a new set once they got to North East. It wasn't even after a lot of trouble that she was able to pack some things."Don't worry, I've got it all covered." Max smiled as he put down Michell
"Young master, we've arrived." Albert's voice sounded jolting Max out of his thoughts.Max looked up at the building they just pulled into and couldn't help but shake his head. It was a big villa and could be said to be the biggest one right after the one next to it which was where his father lived.Well, since he had no plans of living elsewhere, he might as well live here as he didn't want to waste money. His father had built this villa for him at that time saying he should live here even if he didn't want to see him.But Max, being stubborn, didn't listen to him and directly left North East altogether along with his foster mother at that time. Well, there was no use in reliving the past, he just had to focus on the present and leave whatever would be coming in the future to come."Max, don't you think this house is too big?" Michelle frowned as she whispered into Max's ears just as they got out of the car.She hadn't expected the butler to bring them to such a luxurious building. B
The room was a big one and looked rather scanty. Apart from the bed and the desk inside the room, there was nothing else in the room which made Max frown, well then it was none of his business.Looking around, he noticed his father was nowhere to be seen. Frowning slightly, he looked towards the balcony and saw a figure sitting there with his back facing him."Max, you've arrived." Michael sighed as he turned around slowly looking at Max."Whatever." Max shrugged.Looking at his father, it seemed like Albert's words were right, the latter was not getting any better. His condition had become even worse than the last time he saw him. The last time, it seemed like he was recovering.But now, looking at the state the old man was in, it seemed like he was wrong, the old man wasn't getting any better, Esther his condition had become even worse which made Max frown."Max, Albert told me of your conditions." Micheal sighed as he looked at his son.The distance between him and his son was rath
(The Next Day)"Michelle, where are you headed?" Max frowned seeing that Michelle was about to walk out of the villa."I've got an interview today, so I have to be early," Michelle replied.Max's mouth twitched violently hearing what Michelle said. Wasn't his wife a workaholic? They had just gotten to North East and yet she already had a work interview."Which company is that?" Max sighed as he looked at her."Nope, I won't tell you. Goodbye." Michelle shook her head as she walked out of the living room.She was afraid that Max might use his family's influence to make the company she was going to hire her. Even though she didn't know how strong his family's influence was, she was sure that at the very least they would have some say in certain companies.Besides, she was sure that Max was going to know the company as it was rather popular and she didn't want him to help her.Max shook his head seeing his wife's attitude, why couldn't she just be normal for once? Well then it was all ok
"Young Master, we've arrived," Albert said to Max who looked deep in thought."I see." Max sighed as he came down from the car alongside Albert.Looking at the huge building in front of him, Max couldn't help but shake his head. This building was probably the biggest in the whole of North East, and even though some could rival it, there were few.In his memories, he was here either once or twice with his father. At that time he could still remember his father making him sit at the meeting and listen to what they were saying as he would be the one to take over the company in the future.Even though at that time, his family's business was yet to expand much, it was still thriving and was a powerful force. Now, he was sure it was a hundred times bigger than he had remembered, meaning it would be a hundred times harder to manage.Now that there was a rift and the business was on a steady decline, he was sure that it wouldn't be an easy job. He had to commend Albert as he was the one who h
