Secret Crush

Chapter 251 Compensation

With a bland smile on her face, Leila said bluntly, "You've lost your company because of me, so I must listen to you from now on."

These words finally made Max understand the reason. Although the reason was somewhat far-fetched, he was still a little pleased. At least, it was not bad that this woman knew to be grateful to him.

Leila was conflicted. She wasn't clear about the fact that Max wasn't going to save her, and she was prepared to be thrown into the sea. But at last, Max appeared timely, thus Leila didn't know why Max did it.

"Why did you save me?"

Spencer had told Leila that Max was very hesitant. After all, the Mu Group was his company. He would absolutely never give up the whole Mu Group for a woman.

At this moment, the phone rang. It was from the old house, which indicated that Matt must have known something. Max looked at Leila with an apologetic look, then he answered the phone. Hearing a few words from the other side, Max hung up.

Leila looked up to see his expression, waiting for his answer.

Max kissed the woman's chin for a while. He didn't give her the answer as expected, but left with only a sentence, that was, wait for him to come back.

Leila couldn't sleep any more. After this matter, she had a new attitude towards life and she confirmed a point of view in the bottom of her heart that Max had a deep feeling for her. At least, he didn't give up on her in the end, which was totally different from Veron.

After Leila washed up and went downstairs, the maid had prepared the breakfast. When she saw Leila, she couldn't help saying something because Leila was gentler than Max. Yet as for Max, the maid

could only be afraid of him.

"Where did Miss Leila go these days? Mr. Mu looks very worried."

Leila sat down at the table. She thought the maid was asking her where she was. Yet out of her expectation, the latter part was about Max, so she suddenly looked up at the maid, "Do you mean he is worried about me?"

It seemed that this was the first time for Leila to know that Max was worried about her. With a smile on her face, she said, "You said that he was worried about me, then tell me how he is worried about."

Though Leila didn't admit anything by saying something, she felt sweet in her heart. The maid recalled the performance of Max these days and emphasized that he locked up himself in the study at night, but got up early in the morning. Leila was silent for a while. No wonder Max looked a little tired.

"What’s more, he didn't have breakfast. It's always Robert who eating breakfast here."

Leila nodded, feeling more grateful. She didn't expect that she would misunderstand him like an idiot. She deserved it!

In the Mu family's old house.

Spencer happily took the paper which was signed by Max to senior Mr. Mu for his appreciation. Senior Mr. Mu took a look at it, trembled with anger, threw all the things on the table to the body of Spencer and scolded, "You are such a bastard! Don't you look at what these things are? How dare you sign them?"

Spencer continued to read through them. Every document looked normal. He didn't know much about them because he was not good at management. All Spencer knew was that Max signed the share transfer. Then he would be the president of the Mu Group.

"How unlucky you are! You will never know what you will die for!"

Staring at Spencer, Matt was both anxious and angry. But Spencer still didn't understand what was going on, then Max walked in. "Good morning, Mr. Mu!"

His tone was full of irony and sarcasm. With both hands in the pockets, Max walked in leisurely and looked at Spencer as if he was watching something funny.

After being cursed by Matt, Spencer suddenly lost his patience. He took the documents in his hands and questioned Max, "What are they?"

Hearing that, Max raised his eyebrows and looked at the documents in the hands of Spencer playfully. "Aren’t they what you have always wanted? Why are you unhappy when you get them now?"

Matt really couldn't stand it anymore. Max had a great talent and thinking in finance and management, and his ability was beyond doubt. Matt questioned Max, "Do you still treat me as your father? Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"

Hearing this, Max's face turned grim. It was not that he didn't want to say, but that he was more afraid to say. Matt would never allow him to do this to Spencer. Max turned to look at Spencer, with a mocking smile. "I'm just warning you. Leila is my woman. Don't have any designs on her. Otherwise... "

Hearing that, Matt got the meaning of Max, which was all due to Leila. Matt stared at Max deeply. He didn't expect that Max would fall in love with Leila. If things went on like this, it would be terrible.

The man clenched his fists. He finally made up his mind that Leila couldn't stay.

Standing next to him, Spencer held a pile of documents. The day before, he was very happy. But today, it was like a thunderstorm. Spencer asked, "Did you do it on purpose?"

"This is just the beginning. If you dare to continue, I will teach you a lesson!" said Max, with a smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.

Matt slapped Spencer in the face and scolded, "You son of a bitch! How did I tell you? You even set up your own company? This time you are digging your own grave! You will pay back your debt by yourself!"

Spencer still stood there and kept flipping through the documents. Then Max picked up one piece with his slender fingers and said, "This company is real, but it was recently pledged by me. I gave you the five hundred million loan as a big gift!"

The man smiled cruelly. Someone dared to set against him, and someone dared to lay a finger on Leila. That was what would come to the person.

Spencer felt like being struck by lightning, he stiffened in an instant. He had some asset but it was not enough to make up for the loss of five billion dollars.

Matt glanced coldly at his two sons who were fighting to death. "Get out of here!"

Max was decisive, vicious and rash. With great contributions, Max's ability and style were both the best. No matter what, Max would undoubtedly be the best candidate in the future. In the past, Matt would definitely hand over Mu Group to Max trustingly, but now Max had a woman named Leila by his side. Although nothing serious has happened, Max’s occasional impulse had made Matt see this clue, Matt definitely wouldn't let Leila affect the future of Max.

The two walked out of the room side by side and went downstairs. There was a gentle expression on Max's face. He felt relieved at the thought of Leila's face.

Holding a pair of waste paper in his hands, Spencer went downstairs with disappointment. Holding the things which almost killed him tightly, Spencer said, "I didn't expect that you would treat your younger

brother like this. Is it just because of the woman?"

Max turned around and stared coldly at the face of Spencer. It looked very similar to his face, but their personality was completely different. Spencer was ambitious and had a bad heart, but Max reached where he was today with his own ability and style of doing things. In contrast, Max’s superior ability was obvious.

A cunning smile cracked the lips of Spencer. "This time didn’t work. We'll see whether it works for the next time."

"This is a lesson for you. If you still pretend to act recklessly, your cost would not only be five billion next time." said Max, as he suddenly came up to Spencer and grabbed his collar.

"If I say that the chip is Leila, guess what our father would think of Leila after you have done so much?"

Spencer knew very well about Matt. He had only two sons, and the most outstanding one was Max. Matt would never let Leila ruin Max.

"This is my business, and my father has no right to interfere!" said Max, with a gloomy face.

Hearing that, Spencer pressed his lips and shook his head. Both of them knew Matt very well. He had long been dissatisfied with Max for doing so many things for Leila. Now Max even dared to destroy his own younger brother for this woman. Matt would take action.

Max didn't think too much about it. He drove straight back to the villa. As for Spencer, he had a heavy hit. Five billion was a big amount of money that was enough for Spencer to suffer for a long time, so Max didn't worry that Spencer would make trouble in the company!

Back to the villa, Leila was cleaning the room with the maids. After such a big thing happened, she felt it necessary to do something for Max. When Max came back, he saw Leila sitting in the study, staring

at the ashtray full of cigarette ends. "How much does this man like smoking?"

Maids were not allowed to enter the study room freely, so the cigarette ends were not cleaned in time. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Leila didn't notice the footsteps behind her until the burning man covered her. She panicked and tried to escape, but was suppressed by the man's big hand. "Let me go!"

As Leila gently tapped on Max's hand, she was full of gratitude to him. "Mr. Mu, can you tell me that if you smoked these cigarettes in a night?"

The man rested his head on Leila's neck, sniffed the unique scent from her body and hummed softly. Leila didn't say anything, but she smiled, "Then it meant that you're worried about me?"

"Whatever you think!"

Max didn't give Leila a direct answer, but his answer was enough to please Leila. At least he didn't deny it in person. In a good mood, Leila pushed away Max, "They don't dare to come in your study, so I have to clean it by myself."

Hearing that, Max looked at Leila with great satisfaction, as if she was really like a little wife during this period of time. Thinking of the word of wife, another word of marriage naturally came to Max's mind. With an inexplicable smile at the corners of his mouth, Max thought that he may need to prepare something.

Leila, with the ashtray in her hand, glared at Max. "Don't smoke and drink in the future!"
