Chapter 75 - C.o.c.ky Bastard (1/2)
In the Sui Estate, Maxen waltzed to his designated car garage on the property.
It housed a few of his collection of sports and supercars, arranged in a row and looked like shiny toy cars when it glistened as the lights turned on one by one.
Standing in front of the key cabinet, it surprised Jack when Maxen threw a key to his way. ”Have someone drive this up. I will take it out for a spin later.”
”Up, Your Highness?” Jack asked, his brows, furrowed. There's only one place that Maxen calls 'Up', and that was his private residence at the southern tip of the island.
He rarely visited the place and in those occasions, it would be for serious matters like official visitation from foreign dignitaries or him and Wyatt brainstorming strategic plans for the military.
”Yes, up at Notios Estate and Jack, prepare a dinner for two as well. Thank you.”
Bowing lightly, Jack replied, ”Absolutely, Your Highness. Is there anything else that you wished to be done?”
Maxen looked over his shoulders, his hand dipped in his pants pocket when for a second he remembered something. ”The thing which I asked you to get done, is it ready?”
Bowing lightly with his head, Jack affirmed, ”Yes, it is waiting for you in the car, Your Highness.”
And with that, Maxen left the car garage with Jack hot on his tail.
…
”Where are you? I'll pick you up.” Maxen said as soon as Olivia answered the call. He was driving to clear his mind and just entered the metro after passing through the electronic toll system.
Slipping back in her dress after their two-hour long treatment, her brow raised as she sensed something amiss in his tone. ”Hello to you too, Max. I'm at Shibumi with Ava and Emily.”
”Do you have plans tonight?” His fingers tapped on the steering wheel as he switched lanes and made a U-turn.
”No, I don't. I just want to stay at home and relax for tomorrow. Why? Are you driving? Wait. Are you ok because you don't sound ok?”
As she found her way to the lobby, Olivia didn't notice the stares of the other patrons above the magazines that covered their faces as they listened to her phone call. However, the gossip mongers quickly hid and shield themselves using the centerfolds when Emily and Ava came into view.
”I'm okay, baby. I wanted to bring you somewhere I bet you will love.”
”Oh rally? How far are you from this hotel? I can walk home and we could meet in the parking lot,” Olivia suggested, holding her palm up so Emily and Ava could find where she sat in a corner of the lobby by the man-made waterfall.
”No, you don't have to walk back, baby. We're fifteen minutes away from the hotel. I'll send MIB2 to pick you up.”
”But I love walking... Ok, whatever. Bye.” Knowing Maxen's domineering attitude, Olivia didn't contest anymore and dropped the call to chat with her friends. Besides, he's driving and driving needs one's full and undivided attention.
”Bu–” Maxen laughed hysterically when Olivia abruptly ended their call. In his mind, he wanted to talk to her until she's inside the car. He wanted to talk with her 24/7 which is weird considering how he hated talking to people because through the years all he ever had were shallow conversations with people whose names he couldn't even remember. Well, except for his friends.
”Did you hear that?” He slightly faced MIB2 and uttered under his breath, ”She just dropped another call on me. God, that girl needed to be disciplined.”
Back in the spa, the three ladies–Ava, Emily, and Olivia–enjoyed a cup of tea as they waited for MIB2, and true to Maxen's words, MIB2 arrived at the lobby not a second later than fifteen minutes.
”Ooops, that's my school bus ladies.” Olivia placed her teacup down and gathered her belongings.
Emily and Ava snapped their heads to the spa's entrance and saw MIB2 and Shadow waiting outside.
”He can't get his hands off you, can he?” Emily tutted, shaking her head.
Beside her, Ava relayed, ”I almost forgot to tell you, but he gave me Fire's baby pony.” Ava giggled, her shoulders wiggle as she sent a proud out over Emily.
