“You’re so tall.” Mireya shook Max’s hand. She was taken aback. There were many calluses on his hand, but those calluses did not seem to come from frequent laborious work. It looked more like the ones she saw at the official residence…
¨C Mireya was surprised. The person Ryan brought was truly not bad.
“This is my friend, Eliza Robbins.” Mireya immediately went to Eliza’s side.
“Nice to meet you, Ms. Robbins.” Max extended his hand politely.
Eliza shook his hand.
When their gazes met, it was calm.
Playvolume00:00/00:00HARRY POTTER1adlogoTruvidfullScreen Chester watched them coldly. Everyone was an adult. He knew what Ryan and Mireya were thinking.
However, would Max fancy Eliza?
He would just have a fling with her as well.
“I was just about to take a rest, Mr. Langston. Why don’t you play in my stead? I’ll have a chat with Ryan.” Mireya handed the racket to Max. “How are your badminton skills?”
“It’s so-so.”
Max stood on the other side. Eliza served first.
Both of them played back and forth. The rally lasted for tens of strokes.
Eliza would sometimes make tricky shots, but Max could receive them all. They played back and forth and were in tune with each other.
As Mireya watched from the side, she sighed. “Your friend has great skills.”
“I’m not lacking compared to him. We can try it out later.” Ryan put his arm around her shoulders and whispered into her ear, “So that your eyes aren’t glued to Max all the time.”
“Are you jealous?” Mireya laughed. “Your friend is pretty good-looking. He seems very honest too. Does he have a girlfriend? He’s not flirty, right?”
“He doesn’t have any bad habits.” Ryan gave these six words Mireya was satisfied. She glanced at Chester, who was beside her. She then targeted him with her words. ” That’s good. Actually, whether they end up in a relationship or not doesn’t matter. They can be friends, unlike a certain person who thinks he’s high and mighty. He thinks he’s so great just because he has some money and influence. He doesn’t even know how to respect others.”
Chester spoke calmly, “Ms. Lynch, don’t be unreasonable. When you first came to Canberra, I never disrespected you.”
“Because we didn’t have any conflict of interests,” Mireya said decisively. “You didn’t fall in love with me. If you had fallen in love with me, you would’ve thought I was suitable to have a fling with since I came from a small place, but I’d never be good enough for you.”
“You have quite a few misunderstandings about me.” Chester was unfazed.
“They’re not misunderstandings.” Mireya raised her chin. “I’m also aware that if it weren’t for the Lynch family’s business getting bigger and me being in a relationship with Ryan, you wouldn’t even be talking to me on equal footing here.”
“Your impression of me is too complex.”
The corners of Chester’s mouth raised. A faint smile that could make any woman blush and quicken their heartbeats appeared on his handsome face.
People who did not know his true colors would only think of him as an elegant gentleman.
“Young Master Jewell, I’m tired from playing. You can go next.” Cate walked over all of a sudden.
Chester took over the racket.
Shaun immediately followed and embraced his wife. “I’m resting for a moment too. Which of you guys are going next?”
“Me.” Ryan did not dare to let Mireya go next. He quickly replaced Shaun.
When he and Chester walked toward the court, he smiled warmly. “Mireya can be a little reckless. Don’t mind her.”
“I won’t.” The two words came out of Chester’s thin lips indifferently.
“But…” Ryan suddenly smiled profoundly. “President Jewell, maybe sometimes the reason you think that a person isn’t good isn’t because of the other person’s problem but because you look down on them entirely.”
Chester’s deep eyes glinted.
¨C “I understand too,” Ryan said. “People like us have been living on top of the hierarchy since we were young. We’ve had many people around us pleasing and flattering us since birth. However, I’ve always thought that everyone is equal.”
“Really? I don’t think so.” Chester’s attitude was lazy and slack.
“President Jewell, being overly arrogant isn’t a good thing,” Ryan reminded out of kindness.
Chester scoffed. It was obvious that he disagreed.
….
Playvolume00:00/00:00HARRY POTTER1adlogoTruvidfullScreen They had a badminton match and played to their hearts’ content.
After that, Eliza went to the bathroom to wash her face.
Max came out from the men’s bathroom on the opposite side after washing his hands.
Both of their heads were lowered. Max laughed lightly. “I haven’t played badminton with you like this for a long time. But your badminton skills in the past weren’t as good as they are now.”
Eliza did not raise her head. “Did you come here on purpose?”
“By coincidence. Ryan said his wife had a great friend who was single and he wanted to introduce her friend to me. I guessed it was you right away,” Max said in a low voice. “Isn’t this good? We can meet each other openly from now on.”
Eliza raised her head and looked at him. “It’s not good to be too close to me. I’m a person who lives under spotlights. You have a bright future. Being too involved in the entertainment industry will affect your future.”
“Charity.” Max sighed. “I just don’t want to see you being hurt by others while I can only watch over you in the dark.”
That name made Eliza’s body shudder.
It had been very, very long since she heard someone calling her by that name.
Only Max knew her true identity in the whole world.
“You’ve helped me a lot.” Eliza lowered her gaze. “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to find such excellent subordinates. I wouldn’t have been able to do many things as well.”
“You said you wanted to get revenge personally. I respect your decision.” Max asked with complicated feelings, “What are you planning on doing in the future? Are you going to keep remaining in Felix Media? Charity, I don’t wish you and Chester to be involved with each other any longer. He’ll only hurt you.”
“Max, although we’ve known each other since we were kids, the person you know is Eliza-not me, Charity.”
She gazed at Max deeply. “Don’t get too close to me. I can only live in the dark where there’s no light for my entire life. On the other hand, you’re a bright star. You should advance further and higher.”
After Eliza spoke, she turned and left.
Max watched her from the back.
Then, Chester walked over from the other side. As he washed his hands, he said calmly, “General Langston, it’s better not to touch certain women. Women in the entertainment industry are far more complicated than you think.”
“As expected of President Jewell. You already know my identity.” A hint of contempt flashed across Max’s eyes.
Charity would not have ended up that way if it were not for this man.
“There are rumors that the prime minister’s office has a special dark knight squad. Although there are only 100 people, the squad members were picked through the cruelest wars and selections. Someone who can be friends with Ryan must be the leader of the dark knights.”
Chester straightened his body and met Max’s gaze. “You can have any woman you want. Is Eliza even needed?”
After speaking, Chester left without looking back.
Max clenched his fists tightly.
¡®Chester, a heartless man like you will never know how good that woman is.
¡®You’ll regret it sooner or later. You won’t know exactly what you’ve missed.’
….
After badminton, Eliza received Chester’s call while driving back home. His tone was like an order. “Stop your car at the corner in front. I have something to say to you.”
“President Jewell, didn’t you ask me to stay nine feet away from you?” Eliza reminded Chester out of the goodness of her heart.
