Secret Crush

Chapter 249 The Spirit Of Self-sacrifice

Looking at the back of Spencer, Leila thought, 'Didn't he say he would throw me into the sea to feed sharks? Why didn't he do it right now?'

The door behind him was closed. Spencer looked at the recorder pen in his hand, as if he could see Max's extremely gloomy face.

A red Ferrari sped on the highway. Spencer raced at his fastest speed. The wind was able to blow his face out of shape. He enjoyed the pressure as if everything was under his control.

The car stopped in front of the building of the Mu Group. Spencer rushed out of the car and headed for the royal office on the top floor.

The man whistled and walked into the CEO's exclusive elevator. When the elevator reached, Spencer was in a good mood and even walked like dancing.

Finding that Max was working with his head down, the man evilly leaned against the door and looked around his office. Here was the core area of the Mu Group. Perhaps in a few days, here would be a new boss, and that was Spencer.

With a smile, Spencer leaned against the door and stared at Max.

Noticing a pair of fiery eyes staring at him, Max frowned and looked up. When he saw the black figure at the door, Max knew that the person was not friendly. "Why are you so impatient?"

However, Spencer didn't get angry. Compared with Max, this was nothing. Spencer raised his eyebrows, walked up to Max and said, "I want to give you a surprise!"

Max staring at the face of Spencer, though young but evil, even the smile on his face could not hide his evilness. Max did not speak anymore, waiting for his so-called surprise.

"Charles..."

When hearing this voice, Max was sure that it was the voice of that woman, Leila, but she was calling another man's name, Max unconsciously clenched his hands and his knuckles were white.

Spencer noticed all of this and smiled even more happily, "Do you know how disappointed my future sister-in-law is to you?"

Hearing this, Max looked at the face of Spencer and listened to him to continue saying.

Leila didn't call Mr. Mu at the last minute. She chose Charles instead and told him all the things she worried about. A bad feeling rose in Max's chest. He stared at Spencer coldly, and the smile on the face of Spencer became more obvious.

"While my future sister-in-law did a good job. She wasn't afraid of anything and didn't cry! She even didn't mention a word about you. She said you had nothing to do with her even she was thrown to the sea to feed the sharks! "

Hearing that, Max's eyes turned deeper. He knew her too well. Perhaps she said this because she was really too sad, perhaps she has been disappointed in him. She thought he has chosen to sacrifice her in the face of interests.

What about feelings?

Max stood up, standing in front of the French window with his back to Spencer, and said, "This self- righteous woman. Have I ever said that I wouldn't save her?"

Spencer blinked his big eyes and thought, 'If I didn't hear it wrong that Max has agreed, then this house would belong to a new master in the near future.'.

Max turned around and saw a glimmer of light in the big eyes of Spencer. A glimmer of cunning flashed across Max's heart. The good play was yet to come.

"I will send the thing to the place where Leila is locked at 12 o'clock tomorrow noon. Go back and tell that woman to prepare to be thrown into the sea!"

After getting the positive answer from Max, a big smile appeared on the face of Spencer. Spencer looked at the man sitting opposite and teased, "Are you sure that my future sister-in-law won't turn to any other man if you treat her this way?"

"How dare she!"

Max looked at Spencer with a gloomy face. No one would dare to disobey Max in front of him.. Without his permission, Leila wouldn't dare to leave him, not to mention being embraced by another man! Leila couldn’t even think about it!

"In that case, I'll wait for your good news at noon tomorrow."

Spencer walked out of Max's office with excitement. Everything was under his control as if he has just had a dream, it was real yet still made Spencer a little afraid.

No matter what has happened, Spencer would get the signature paper of Max at noon the next day. Then this matter would be settled. He would be the real king.

Spencer couldn't help but burst into laughter. His red Ferrari was like an arrow off the string. A gust of wind was whistling past his head. His car stopped steadily at the gate of the warehouse. As long as they waited here for one more day, nothing would be changed then. He pounded the iron door madly, and the men panicked to open the door. When they saw Spencer come in with beer and much food, several men received them excitedly. "Thank you, boss. We haven't eaten a good meal for several days."

The men sat around in a circle, eating and drinking. Spencer walked towards Leila who seemed to have fallen asleep. Spencer shook her to wake her up. Leila was surprised that what was to come finally came. She stood up and looked around. Since she was still in the warehouse, she wouldn’t be thrown into the sea for the time being.

Spencer untied the rope around Leila. Because it was a completely closed warehouse, it would be locked instantly once in and out. He didn't worry that she would escape if he let her go.

The man took her to sit down at the table and handed her a pair of chopsticks. Leila took a look at the dishes. All of them seemed to have been bought from a big restaurant. She suddenly thought of the last dinner and asked, "Is this the last dinner for me?"

Spencer managed to hold back his laughter and nodded. He really wanted to comfort Leila as he saw her like this. However, Max said let Leila be ready to be thrown into the sea. Spencer had to admit that although they had different opinions on the company's business, they still had something in common in life. It was just like now, that Max had promised to exchange her with the Mu Group. But he didn't say anything on purpose. Besides, Spencer was looking forward to Leila's expression when she knew the truth.

Leila sat down, with her fingers shaking a little. She tried several times but her chopsticks couldn’t pick up food. Thus Spencer had no choice but help her. Leila nodded in appreciation.

Spencer pushed the beer in front of Leila, indicating her to drink it. Leila shook her head but was forced to drink it. "It's good that you're drunk and don't know what happened. You wouldn't feel scared even if you were thrown into the sea to feed sharks!"

Hearing this, Leila immediately picked up the beer and drank a lot. Her face turned red, and she let out a long breath. Everything was done. She released a lot, with a smile on her face. "When are you going to throw me into the sea?"

Looking at Leila fiercely, Spencer didn't expect that this woman was still thinking about it. He pushed a can of beer in front of her, "You are not drunk yet. This will make you uncomfortable in the sea."

As long as Leila thought of the idea that she would be drowned into the sea in an instant, she could not breathe and then struggle in all directions. At last, she had no strength and helplessly watched herself sinking down. She immediately drank another bottle of beer, and then said to the direction of Spencer, "One more!"

Spencer pushed the beer in front of Leila, who kept drinking until she was over the table and the she called out the name of Max in a low voice.

Spencer gazed at the woman with interest, whose secret was still leaked out by accident. Spencer made a call to Max. Then he put the phone near Leila's ear and patted her on the face. His cold fingers calmed Leila down.

"It's the call of my elder brother."

Leila grabbed it, "You bastard, how dare you give up on me for money and interest! I hate you!"

Leila threw the phone back to the table. Leila's vague voice came into Max's ears. Max called the name of Leila. However, Leila didn't listen to a word. "Leila, what happened?"

"I didn't expect my future sister-in-law to be so interesting."

"What's wrong with her?" Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Spencer sneered, "Don't worry. I won't hurt her before I get what I want."

Staring at the dim screen of his cellphone, Max lighted a cigarette silently and the smoke made the man's face couldn’t be seen clearly. Max really wanted to know what had happened to Leila just now.

When the early morning sunshine penetrated the curtain and shone on Max, he raised his hand to have a look at his watch and got up to go to the bathroom.

The familiar figure wasn’t in the familiar place. Max felt empty in his heart. Although it had only been three days, he felt like a century had passed.

After changing his clothes, Max went downstairs. Seeing that, Robert sat in the dining room silently for breakfast. Apparently, the maids didn't know what had happened, and they were accustomed to Leila's absence.

Robert took out a piece of tissue, wiped his mouth and stood up. He said, "Spencer has sent the address to us. When shall we go there?"

A trace of coldness flashed across Max;s face. That woman said last night that she hated him, that he has abandoned their relationship for money and interests, so she hated him.

The corners of Max's mouth curved slightly. He pressed his lips tightly and did not speak. Without any mood to have breakfast, Max picked up his coat and walked out.

Robert followed him and ran out quickly. He opened the door and thought Max look a little strange today. "What happened?"

Thinking of what Leila said, Max shook his head and leaned back in the chair.

She questioned his capability. Today he wanted to show her his capability, and how he could save her without any expense.

As the car was running slowly towards the destination, neither of them spoke again. As the assistant of Max, Robert had already memorized everything. After a while, he had to explain it clearly to Spencer.

Spencer didn’t sleep for a whole night. The time of waiting seemed to be pretty long. Sparing a glance at the sleeping Leila, Spencer didn't interrupt her. He just reminded the others to be careful not to fall into any ambush!
