Max POV
I was tongue-tied when my boss appeared in front of my door. I felt like my legs turned to jelly and my forehead began to sweat as he walked inside."Sir, what are--you doing--here? It's late." My lips quivered as I smelled the scents of whiskey on his white t-shirt.
He's too tall for me and when he came closer, I can't be seen anymore.
"I --just--miss you." His voice became a hush to my ears.
And then to my surprise, he suddenly fell on me.
"Sir! Wait!", I exclaimed when we both stumbled on the floor.
He's too heavy to carry and he's on top of me.
" hmmm, you're so beautiful, Max. You know how much I like you?" his lips were almost touching mine.
I turned around but he quickly cupped my cheeks, making me face him.
"You can't get away from my kids anymore! Now, my turn to make you mine." His eyes sharpened to me and I felt nervous about
Maggie came home with her frowned face. She can't believe that her ex-fiance just kick her out of his house even after she confessed everything that happened in the past."That asshole. He's not worth it for me. Mom, maybe I can just forget about his money and just give up." She told her mom after she saw her in the wine bar area.Her mom was drinking alone there. She slowly gulped one sip of red wine in her mouth and put down the empty glass on the bar counter. He took a deep sigh as her eyes shifts towards her."Why give up now? Your ex-fiance is now a multi-billionaire so why the rush?", she raised her brown shade eyebrows at her.Maggie came closer and sat beside her. She took one empty wine glass and ask for a toss." Give me that. I want to be calm." She said and drink the whole glass of wine into her mouth.Her mom laughs at her behavior.She suddenly made applause for cheering her daught
Ace CompanyThe Aces employees make a line to welcome their boss Asher Aragon. Today is the day of Italy's summer collection Fashion Show and Max, the head designer of the Ace Company was the one who made the ten designs who is now walking behind their CEO. Russ was there too as her assistant designer.Everyone prepared to their way out going to Italy."Good luck, sir!", they said and escorted them to the exit door.Max didn't want to make eye contact with their boss so she decided to wear eyeglasses. Of course, she's still pulling her man's haircut, deep voice, and boyish walking and the way she acts on many people.Asher on the other hand did the same. It's like an awkward situation where they were together but they are both too shy to talk to one another. Russ notices them so when they're inside the Limousine going to the airport." Is there any problem? Seems like you two are fighting?", he cleared his thro
Max POV We finally reach the hotel they prepared for us and each of us has our room. I walked inside and took a deep breath. Italy is such a nice place for tours and family vacations. I wish I can bring my daughter here with me. We can go shopping and eat at the fancy restaurant here but what can I do, she's not okay to come with me since my secrets is still a secret to others except sir Asher and Russ. I jump on the mattress and landed my back on it. "It's nice to feel pampered!", I mumbled as my eyes slowly went drowsy and heavy. I can sleep in a short while since the show is tomorrow. I didn't realize that I fell asleep. *** Asher opened his room and he didn't fancy this kind of place because he loves staying in his room. This place was used by many people and even they were clean and disinfect, many still lay on this bed to sleep. He walked near the window and slide
While in the middle of their discussion, Maggie came to their table, and Asher was shocked to see her appearing in front of them especially that Max was there. She laughs at them because they look like they saw a ghost. " Hey, why you're all stunned? Am I not allowed to be here when I know the CEO of Ace Company very well?", she said while shifting her eyes to Asher. Max can't answer since she doesn't know this girl. All she knows is that she was beautiful and kinda smart. " Hmmm, so this is Max? The gem of Ace? Hi, I'm Maggie. Nice to meet you." She introduced herself to her and she didn't hesitate to accept her hands for a shake. " Hi, nice to meet you," Max replied and cleared her throat. Asher felt that his hands were sweating and he's not comfortable with their situation at this moment. The moment he saw Maggie seems odd. She is scheming another plan and if she will find out who was Max, it will
Maggie POVI've been thinking about what to do tomorrow. I can sabotage Max's designs if I want but Asher's company will be at risk and if that happened, I won't get anything from him if our married will become official. People didn't know that our engagement stayed official. We didn't have any formal break up and I am still wearing the ring he gave me. I know he will forgive and love me someday.I check the time and it's nine in the evening." What if he's still awake and I can visit him there?", I said to myself while putting a grin on my face.I didn't wait for any time anymore. I decided to check on him so I ambled to the hallway straight to his room door. I took a deep breath as I arrived there because I don't know if this is the right thing to do or not."It doesn't matter if what I will do tonight is out of the rules but I just want to be with my beloved. " I said to myself and about to open the doorknob when a man ha
Ten minutes earlier...Asher feel the mattress with his hands to check if Max was beside him but the bed is now empty beside him. He quickly got up to check her to the bathroom but she's not there either."Why she didn't wake me up?", he mumbled while putting back his summer shorts and a white t-shirt.He hastily twisted the knob to open and looked around to see if Russ was out or Maggie. He knew that his ex-fiance wanted him to love her again but that's not gonna happen. Yes, he loves her head over heels but it's all from the past and not anymore at this time.After he confirmed that two of them weren't visible in his bare eyes, he decided to amble going to Max's room.After he reached it, he knocks. He is very excited to tell her about his proposal. He wanted to tell her that he want her to be his girlfriend. He keeps stomping his feet on the floor while waiting for Max to open it." Sir? What are you doing he
Max got up from her bed after knowing that she's already late for the Italy Fashion Show."Sorry, sir. I'm on my way. Just give me five minutes." She told him while running inside the bathroom to take a quick shower.She can't believe that she overslept and almost forgot that today is the schedule of their collaboration for the summer collection of the Italy Fashion Show. She must not mess up this time because this is her time to shine and to be recognized as one aspiring designer all over the world.After taking her shower, she took her prepared outfit inside the cabinet and quickly wear it.She has to look nice in front of everyone since this is her first show to attend. She didn't waste any time and drag herself out of her room. She came out almost running just to come in time but when she arrived at the said venue, the model is now walking in the runaway. In their practice, she was the one to be called along with the model who are wearing
QMax took a deep breath while waiting for all the models to come out from the runway. She's now ready to show the world what she was capable of. Maggie can't stop her from doing what she wants because she doesn't want to go back to being poor again. As the models came backstage, they were shocked to see the head designer of Ace Company there wearing her unique creations. They were happy to see her there. " Wow, you look fantastic, sir!", they all praised her and Max felt like she was one important person that night. "Thank you." She said and smiled at them. Before the emcee could talk, Max bravely went on stage wearing her unique tuxedo suits designs. Everyone's eyes widened and drop their jaws to see what she was wearing. All of the people there saw her as a cool and brave man. Maggie looks shocked too and can't even look at Max on the stage. She started to get nervous and told the emcee to stop her but t
