He hated the fact that his heart still Couldn't stop beating for her even after she slept with konstantin. " Wow! " Zainy's daughter cried out when she saw Maximo. She ran into his arms and the Italian Mafia Boss caught her perfectly. Iris stiffened however when she caught sight of her fiance who didn't pay attention to her at all. " Miss Saint is here.

The drive wasn't only awkward for Iris Saint but also scary. Maximo had keep shut throughout as he drives on. He never give her any answer to his declaration minutes ago. His response to that is only to step back and bid Zainy goodbye. Maximo had entered the car without inviting her in but she knows she's supposed to tag along.
