Chapter 99: 99 Proposal party 3
''Kobby'' Rihan called and Kobby turned to look at her. at the same time, Calia stood up from her chair and Max pulled her back on the seat.
''Don't go over to him. You are a lady. let him work hard to be with you'' Max said to Calia who was fuming with rage inside her.
''Did you know already?'' Calia asked him and Max turned to look at Kobby and Rihan saying.
''Actually, is not that hard not to notice it. You were your heart out'' Max said.
''So boring. How could you say that to my face?'' Calia said with a frown.
''I only got to spend time with him today but I can tell he is a good man. If he cares about you, he will work hard to be with you. That model isn't a worthy rival. Don't sweat over her'' Max said ''just watch and have faith in the man you fell for''
''Kobby, hi'' Max and Calia heard Rihan mentioned the name again and watched them interestingly.
Rihan walked to Kobby and looked down at Calia and said ''you must be Tiana. We met the last time but I was so out of it. forgive me, I am Rihan''
''I know who you are. You are model Rihan, my father's ex-girlfriend from 10 years ago, but I don't like you so stop trying to be friendly to me'' Tiana said and scoffed before running away. Her statement made Rihan to freeze and she felt so embarrassed. Her expression even turned uglier when she saw the kid run to Calia and hug her.
''Kobby, I''.
''Rihan, stop it already. Don't you have any dignity?'' Kobby asked.
''Is alright, I know you are still angry with me'' Rihan said.
''Stop putting emotions on me. I am not angry with you. You are nothing to me. i made myself clear and my girlfriend also warned you''.
''Your girlfriend? Her? Kobby, what exactly do you see in her that I don't have?'' Rihan asked angrily.
''Honesty, sincerity and her love for me. Her love for my daughter and her selflessness. That is what I see in her, excuse me'' Kobby said and walked away. Rihan bit her lips as she watched him walk over to Calia.
''Cal, let's go. I will send you home'' Kobby got to Calia and said to her.
''Oh, Marvel. I asked her to pick my car keys from the room for me. Is really late and I can't let her drive this late. Should we let her join us?'' Calia asked and Max's eyes lit up. he stood up and spoke.
''I can send her home. You three look like a family of three. You should send your ladies home first, Kobby. I will send Marvel home for you, Cal''
''Oh, really? Thanks elder brother. Send her home early. Her uncle is a deep sleeper and forgetful. He sometimes locks the door from the inside and leaves the key there. Marvel have had to sleep at my place several times, so make sure to send her home early. Thanks elder brother, this is her purse'' Calia said and Max nodded his head knowingly and smirked. Calia just sold her poor little assistant away to the devil. If only she knew the piece of harmless information she just casually gave out was going to be used against her assistant.
''Then, I will send them first'' Kobby said to Max and held the hands of both Calia and Tiana walking out with them. Rihan watched with deep hatred and Max frowned at her actions before going to meet his little secretary with the purse in his hand.
Guestroom.
Marvel knelt down under the bed trying to pick the key that had fallen under the bed. She removed her shoes and bent down with her back facing the door. Because her dress was a flare, it moved up leaving her black underwear and that was the scene Max saw when he entered the room.
Marvel who had her face still under the bed heard the door open and spoke ''Miss, the key fell under the bed. Can you get me something to pull it out?'' she didn't hear any sound and sighed adding ''Miss, I know you are there. Don't even try to ignore me or else I won't come to work for a week. I will rebel against you'' her hand reached the key and she exclaimed.
''Got it. Miss, about your elder brother. Can I ask you something? Is he always like that with women? I don't mean anything by asking, I was just curious. Doesn't he have a girlfriend..ahhhhh'' Marvel fell on her butt the moment she looked up and saw Max. He was sitting so relaxed on the bed with an amused smile and gaze.
''Youwhat are you doing inside here? I thought you were Calia?'' Marvel asked as she still sat on the floor.
''I didn't know you were curious about me?'' Max said and stood up. He walked closer to her and looked down at her ''to answer your questions. I am not always like that with women. I am only like that to you, because it's you and I don't have a girlfriend''
Max stretched his hand down to Marvel ''get up from the floor, is cold'' he said to her. Marvel blushed and held his hand and he pulled her up and intentionally brought her body closer to himself and she hit against his chest. He smelled the fragrance of her body and smell. It was the same scent. She smelt like freshly dried cinnamon ''nice smell'' he said making Marvel to come back to her senses.
Marvel pushed him away angrily saying ''are you a pervert? Why do you keep looking at me like that?''
''Because you smell nice. You are the first woman whose body scent I can't get enough of'' Max said to her and she blushed.
''Excuse me, I have to go'' Marvel said and tried to go and he held her hand.
''Where are you going? Your bag is here and Calia asked me to send you home'' Max said to her.
''Calia asked you to send me home? Why? I can go home by myself'' Marvel said and Max looked at her. She instinctively covered her chest and stepped back ''what are you looking at? Let me tell you. Don't think I won't dare to do something if you get closer to me''
''What will you do? If I get closer to you?'' Max said and took a step forward. Marvel turned to run to the door and Max swiftly pulled her back and stood at the door. ''I am really curious about what you will do?''
''I will scream. I also have a black belt in martial arts. Don't come closer unless you want to get hurt'' Marvel said and folded her palms into fist and Marvel chuckled.
''Although I wish to stay and see how good you are in martial arts; I am afraid that your uncle might lock you out if we delay. Let's go'' Max said and held her hand bringing her out.
Marvel's apartment.
Max pulled over and turned to speak to Marvel ''go in, I will wait here in case your uncle locks you out. Then, I can play the knight in shining armour'' Marvel asked after a thoughtful deliberation.
''What exactly do you want from me?''
''What do you think? What does a man want from a woman?'' Max asked meaningfully and she blushed.
''I don't know, but there is one thing I need to be clear with you about. I am not one of the women that you can play with just because you are bored''
''I am not playing with you and I am not bored either'' Max said.
''I am not an easy woman that you think will be moved just because you have money and power''
''I didn't for once think of you as a cheap woman and I am not doing this because I have money''
''Then, what exactly do you want from me? Don't tell me I am overthinking things because I am sure of what I saw. You were looking at me as if I was some kind of meat. Your eyes were exactly like when a man was looking at a woman lustfully. I know that much''
''You are not overthinking things and you are right. I was indeed looking at you like a man would look at a woman but it wasn't lustfully. I was more intrigued but, I won't reject a chance to sleep with you too'' Max said and Marvel got angry.
''You, why are you so shameless? We just met yesterday and you want to sleep with me?'' Marvel asked.
''I just don't want to sleep with you. I want to kiss and hug you too''
''Hooligan. Why am I even having this conversation with you? I am not talking to you again, good night, see you never'' Marvel said and got down from the car. in her entire life she had never met someone so shameless.
Max chuckled and leaned back on the seat. He started counting numbers "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0'' someone knocked on the door and he smirked and rolled down the window and saw Marvel.
''Can you send me to Calia's place? It seems my uncle is gone to sleep already. I can't wake him up no matter how hard I try and if I shout, I will be disturbing the neighbours'' Marvel said.
''Get in'' Max said and started the car. Marvel got in and put on her seatbelt
''Send me to Calia's place'' Marvel repeated.
''Yes, ma'am''
