Secret Crush novel Chapter 247

When they went out of the door, the car stopped at the door. Robert got off the car and found that Max was a little tired. Max began leaning against the back of the seat and closing his eyes since he got on the car.

Robert took a look at him. "This is the first time I've seen you like this. In the past..."

"Shut up!"

Max said slowly. Max was Robert's superior, yet they were more like friends. Therefore, when Robert spoke to Max, Robert would have no scruples. Naturally, Robert wanted to say something about Rosa.

"But I have to remind you that you look terrible. I can be sure that Spencer will know what you are thinking about just by seeing you, even without your speaking. Are you sure you want to go to the company like this?"

Looking at his watch, Max didn't fall asleep for the whole night. It was still early. He got off the car and went back to the bedroom, and the empty room remained the same as when Leila left. His heart inexplicably sank, as if the bedroom was filled with the shadows of Leila, her laughter, her cry, and even their heavy breathing. Max walked out of the room and closed the door behind.

There were too many memories about Leila, so Max couldn't bear to stay there any longer. He went to the guest room, took a shower and changed into clean clothes. He went downstairs, looking much more energetic.

Robert was having breakfast in the dining room. He looked at Max and said, "Your breakfast is good, but it’s too much, could you finish all of it?"

Hearing that, Max frowned and Robert immediately understood something. With his head down, Robert continued to eat and didn't dare to continue talking. If Robert said one more word that made Max feel sad, Max was sure to kick him out of the car.

After breakfast, both of them got on the car. Max closed his eyes and said slowly, "How's it going? Do you get any clues?"

After some hesitation, Robert didn't know how to open his mouth. Seeing that Max opened his eyes through the rear view mirror, Robert felt a gust of coldness on his back. In the end, Robert surrendered to Max's eyes. "Well, let me tell you, now I can find nothing. It seems that the enemy has well planned against us!"

Hearing this, Max closed his eyes again. He thought it over in his mind for a while about the people whom Spencer could contact. Then Max ordered, "Go on with the investigation!"

Robert nodded.

When the car arrived at the Mu Group, Robert stopped suddenly. The red Ferrari came out of nowhere and stopped in front of their car. Spencer walked towards Max’s car with a big smile.

Robert's fingers were holding the steering wheel tightly. This was Spencer, Max's younger brother. Robert had nothing to compete with him.

Spencer walked to the car and knocked on the window. Then he burst into laughter and asked, "How was it? Elder brother, did you sleep well last night?"

Max said with a charming smile, "Thank you for your concern. I almost overslept."

There was not a trace of worry on Max’s face, then Spencer was a little panic. "Kind reminder, today is the first day. You still have two days left. I'll wait for your good news at any time!"

Max indifferently rolled up the window and Robert drove into the garage.

Entering the special elevator for the CEO, Max began to tell Robert, "Watch closely at Spencer’s whereabouts and check who Spencer is contacting recently."

Robert nodded. Max has remained extremely calm today, because he didn't want Spencer to see his worries. Although he looked calm on the surface, there were already surging waves in his heart!

As usual, Max walked into the office yet he looked at the documents on the table absently . Now his mind was filled with Leila. Spencer just said that it was the first time today, which meant Max still had two days left.

Max hoped everything was still possible.

There were piles of files waiting for Max to check in person on the desk. Max was so devoted to his work that he didn't notice when Spencer appeared at the door of the office.

"Wow, I didn't expect that you are still in the mood to work at such a critical moment. Should I tell our father to give you some reward?"

Hearing that, Max gave a glare at Spencer, with an expression of gloom on his face but more disdain. Max then continued to read the documents. Before leaving, Spencer felt boring and said to Max, "By the way, as a elder brother, it seems that you don't believe in your younger brother. I tell you, don't waste your time on Robert. You can't find Leila this time! Don't forget to check e-mail. "

Looking at the back of Spencer, Max clenched his hands into fists. Max wondered since when he became like this because of a woman. Now Max was even scared by himself. Max picked up the phone and called Robert back.

"You are exposed!"

Robert curled his lips and said, "I can do nothing about it. It seems that Spencer has made up his mind to fight with you this time. After experiencing what has happened last time, how could Spencer still be so stupid?"

This was what Max was most worried about. Now that Leila was in danger, yet Max could do nothing but worry.

Robert frowned and asked, "What’s your meaning?"

"I want the Mu Group, and so does Leila!" said Max, with a grim face.

"How about..." A hint of shrewdness flashed across Robert's face, which could be seen clearly by Max. Max stared at the man's face and asked, "What's your idea?"

Every time Robert showed such an expression, Max knew that Robert had come up with a solution. Robert whispered to Max, "The Mu Group has a company, whose registered capital is two billion ..."

After hearing what Robert said, Max nodded. "Isn't that what you are good at? Do it right now!"

Max didn't open the e-mail until Robert left. Thinking that he might see something that he didn't want to, Max’s fingers were trembling slightly. There were only a few pictures on the e-mail, on which were Leila. The woman curled up in the corner with her body in her arms, her feet and hands wrapped with ropes, and her hair was messy. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with her. The man was flustered with his hands clenched into a fist. "I want to teach you a lesson, Spencer!"

Max picked up the phone and called Robert, "Increase the registered capital to five billion. I'm going to see how he can figure it out this time!"

Robert took a deep breath. It seemed that Max was really angry this time.

As Leila watched the men drinking and chatting, she suddenly missed the life in the apartment. Being locked up all day long, she had no time concept. She fell asleep in a daze, and then woke up, for fear that she would never wake up after falling asleep.

It was unknown how many days has passed. But judging from no new instructions and orders from these people, it meant that there were still no new moves made by Max and Spencer, or that they have not reconciled yet, or that Max has given her up?

On a second thought, it should be less than three days. If Max has given up on Leila, Spencer, as the most angry man, would kill her soon.

"Hello?"

Leila called out. The man on the other side was either drinking or playing cards. When he heard the woman's voice, he asked her rudely what she wanted to do.

"I want to go to the bathroom!"

"Anyway, you can solve it as you like." One of the men said casually.

"No, I must go to the bathroom." Leila felt her body was somewhat numb. She felt that her body was somewhat out of control. Now she should stand up to do some exercise. "My body is somewhat numb. I want to do some exercise."

Her words were ignored, but someone among the men reminded that Leila was the woman of Max. It was not good to offend Max in the future due to the woman. Soon a man came over to Leila, untied her and took her to the toilet, actually it was just a small plaid room. Leila walked in and locked the door.

Leila moved her body in such a small room. When she came out, she chatted with the man, "What day is it today?"

The man looked at the woman in front of him with disdain. Although she was kidnapped, she didn't look scared at all. Instead, she even asked about the time. Suddenly, the man had a different opinion of this woman.

Leila came back to where she had been before, with her hands and feet tied up again. Instead of feeling scared, she was actually looking forward to the result in three days.

Would Max sacrifice so much for her? Leila wanted to know the answer all of a sudden.

Robert put the well collected document in front of Max. "It's ready. What are you going to do with this huge amounts of money. Do you really..."

Hearing that, Max glared at Robert. Max knew what Robert wanted to say, but since Spencer had touched his sore spot, he didn't need to show mercy any more. "Don't say anything more about Spencer. I don't want to hear it! "

Robert nodded. Robert knew that Spencer dared to kidnap Leila this time, which has already enraged Max. Thus no matter what happened now, Max would not let Spencer go.

The man's eyes were staring at the documents in his hands. Max thought that this time it would certainly be able to make Spencer suffer a heavy damage, and he would have a peaceful life later.

Max’s phone suddenly vibrated. Then a strange voice came. Max frowned slightly and took a glance at Robert, "Who are you?"

"You don't need to know who I am. Leila is in our hands now. You know what you should do?"

"I want to hear her voice!"

The man did not hesitate to answer the phone. Looking at the expression on Max's face, Robert trembled all over. If these people were in front of him now, Max would definitely kill them with his own hands.

Spencer waited anxiously and couldn't get any response from Max. He was so worried and upset. Finally Spencer came up with a cruel idea. Since Max wanted to ignore this matter, Spencer asked his men to call Max to irritate him.

"Max."

Hearing Leila's voice, Max's heart trembled. This woman's voice sounded a little tired, but fortunately it was full of vitality. It seemed that these people hadn't done anything to hurt her, and he was sure that no one dared to touch his woman.

"Leila, you are such a stupid woman!"

Leila thought Max would be worried about her, but she didn't expect he would be so angry with her. Although she felt wronged, she still had a little expectation in her heart. After all, Max was still willing to answer the phone. "Max, they said I will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks in three days!"
