After the kiss, they both felt overwhelmed. Kristen looked away as she felt awkward. "I...I think we need to get going before they come after us" she said turned away to face forward and took a small step.

"Yeah," Max agreed.

As they walked, neither of them could stop stealing glances at each other.

The awkwardness between Max and Kristen lingered throughout the night as they made it back to the hotel.

Kristen walked ahead as she tried to avoid his gaze, while Max trailed behind, shoving his hands into his pockets.

As they stepped into the elevator, the silence was deafening. Max glanced at her with a smile but Kristen tightly fixed on the glowing numbers above as she knew he was looking at him……

When the doors opened to their floor, Kristen muttered a quick, “Goodnight,” before she quickly rushed to the hotel room and slammed the door closed.

Max chuckled as he exhaled sharply and rubbed the back of his neck as he stepped into the hotel room when he entered she was already curled unde

    "Hello..Mr Anderson..yes Sir….your dad asked me to book you the next available flight back to Cali"Max leaned back in his chair as his jaw tightened. "He did, huh?" he muttered and tapped his fingers on the table."Yes, sir," Mr. Green confirmed. "Your father said there's no need to attend tomorrow's meeting. He believes the deal is already lost."Max let out a slow breath as his gaze darkened. "Tell him I’m not leaving. I’ll handle this my way.""But sir""That’s final," Max cut in firmly and ended the call.

He gave Mr. Creed a knowing look.Mr. Charles, one of the board members, laughed at the joke. “Hahaha… Well, it’s only fair that our investors make their final decision based on today’s presentations,” he added with a smirk.Creed leaned back in his chair, still confident he was taking it home. “Of course,” he said smoothly.As the discussion continued, the doors swung open, and the investors began entering the room one by one.The atmosphere shifted as each of them took their seats.

    Max barely had time to think when the hotel door opened. The moment he saw Kristen, he rushed in and pulled her into a tight hug."Thank you... Thank you," he murmured, his voice full of emotion before finally pulling away.He reached out into his pocket and brought out a single flower. "A flower for the most special person," he said with a small smile.Kristen took it slowly, excitement flickering in her eyes, though she felt a little awkward. "I... I made something for you," she said and stepped aside to reveal a small table set with food.Max walked over, his gaze falling on two cakes. One read, Congrats on your new deal! The other, in bold letters, read, Who gives a f** about that deal anyway?*Kristen's eyes widened as she quickly tried to hide the second cake, but Max burst into laughter."I love this," he said and took a seat."Where should we dig in first?" he asked, picking up a fork. Then, with a mischievous grin, he added, "Super hungry here!" before laughing again.….…….Mr

    “Yes,” she whispered. Max blinked, stunned. “Wait… really?” He let out a short, breathless laugh. “I thought you were going to say no after everything I put you through.” He said stood up and wrapped around her, pulled her close. Kristen shook her head. “I would have… if you’d asked me a week ago.” She searched his face. “I’m the luckiest man on earth today.” Max said..“Thank you… Thank you.” He gazed at her, memorising every detail before slowly leaning in. Their lips met, soft at first, then it deepened as the world around them faded away. The waves crashed gently in the background, the cool ocean breeze mixed with the warmth of their bodies. Max’s hands traced the curve of her back and pulled her closer, as if afraid to ever let go. “Kristen…” he murmured, pressing kisses along her jaw. She shivered as her fingers threaded through his hair. Every touch, every breath was electric. Without a word, Max scooped her up effortlessly and carried her toward a hidden spot on the bea

    The morning felt like a dream, as if the warmth of the sun and the gentle rustle of the leaves were all just a delicate illusion. The world outside seemed to be holding its breath, waiting to see if the magic of the night before would spill over into the day.Kristen stirred, a small smile curling on her lips as she nuzzled against what she thought was Max’s chest. But as her eyes slowly fluttered open, the warmth she expected wasn’t there.Her smile faltered. The space beside her was empty.She carefully sat upright, her gaze sweeping the room.....until it landed on a bouquet of red roses resting on the small table by Max’s side of the bed.She reached for them and inhaled their delicate scent, her heart swelling with warmth.As she cuddled the flowers and smelled them, a sharp knock on the door made her head immediately snap up.The knock came again, pulling her fully into realization that someone was at the door."Coming," she said, slowly placing the flowers down.

    "We’ve been waiting too long. What does he think he is?" Mr. Donovan Creed said as he slammed the table with a force that echoed through the room. Every person seated at the long, polished table flinched at the sound, and their attention turned to him. "Mr. Creed, you need to calm down. I am sure he is on his way," the secretary said, standing there calmly. "Calm down? When we talk about power and time, I know you have no business with either. People like you can afford to waste all day in one place, but not someone like us. I don’t have the luxury of patience, nor do I tolerate incompetence. We’re not here to twiddle our thumbs while he takes his sweet time," Mr. Donovan Creed snapped. Around the table, the other executives exchanged uneasy glances. Some shifted uncomfortably in their seats, while others stared down at the documents in front of them, trying to avoid Mr. Creed’s piercing gaze. One of the senior members of the board, a man with graying hair and a nervous demeanor,

    “Are they trying to disgrace me even more?” Mr. Creed muttered under his breath, his face twisted with anger.Before he could take a few steps out of the company’s building, a sea of reporters and flashing cameras descended on him like vultures. The barrage of questions hit him from all sides.“Mr. Creed, we just heard your partnership with Hansol Group Corporation has been terminated! How does it feel, considering the fact that you’ve been working with them for over 18 years? Since this company actually started, do you think the ex-chairman’s son is trying to bring you down after all your hard work?”Creed’s eyes darkened with fury as his guards quickly stepped in, blocking the crowd from getting too close. With a firm grip on his arm, they guided him toward his car, clearing the path as best they could. But the questions kept coming, swirling around him like a storm he couldn’t escape.“Mr. Creed, is this the end of your legacy with the company, or should I rather say the fall of yo

"How about you make my d*** go global?" he said, letting out a booming laugh that echoed through the room.“Huh,” she mumbled, taken aback as she tried to process the unexpected remark."Don’t tell me you don’t know what I meant,PRETTY GIRL!" he continued with a smirk as he stood up, brushing off the crudeness with a casual wave of his hand. "Just a joke, by the way," he added as he moved behind her, his presence lingering a little too close."I know you just rehearsed this... that’s what you young girls do these days," he said in a mocking tone."You come in here, rattling of

    Kristen’s eyes darted to his hand, frustration bubbling inside her as the blood refused to stop.“Are you just going to stand there? You’re bleeding to death!” she snapped as she looked around in a panic for something to stop the bleeding.Max just watched her as he wore a smile without even doing anythingKristen groaned and quickly grabbed a paper towel and wrapped it around his hand. “Why do you even have to cook when you can just order for room service?”Kristen rolled her eyes. “Stop being dramatic!” she scolded, tightening the paper towel around his hand.Max let out an exaggerated groan. “But it does hurt! You have no idea how much pain I’m in right now,” he whined.And Kristen blew on and shot him a sharp look. “Then maybe next time, don’t go playing chef when you clearly have no idea what you’re doing.”Max smirked despite the pain. “But look at this you're finally talking to me.”Kristen huffed, letting go of his hand. “You’re impossible,” she muttered and turned away.Max gr

You’re Mr. Perfect, the one who never makes a mistake." She scoffed. "So tell me, why did you bring me here in the first place? To torture me more? To use me as your slave?"Her eyes burned with tears as she took a shaky breath. "Yes, I know I work for you, but that doesn’t mean you own my life! You don’t get to do whatever you want with me!

Without moving much, he gestured for the woman to stop. She obeyed instantly and stepped back and excused herself quietly. Creed watched her walk away before picking up the call.A smirk played on his lips. “I told you he was going to fall for it,” he said smoothly, followed by a low chuckle.Mr. Oman’s voice came through the line. “As expected, he is slower than I thought.”Creed’s smirk widened as he leaned back against the pool’s edge. “And now, the investors are questioning his leadership. Just as planned.”“I got a call earlier from Mr. Ahmed,” Mr. Oman continued. “He said almost half of the investors are questioning the board...why was he even picked in the first place?”Creed let out a low chuckle. “Perfect.
