“A man with his identity can’t marry Eliza.” Monte said coldly, “It’ll affect his career. At most, he’ll just fool around with her.”
“Indeed.” Hugo said, “What about you? Are you just planning to take advantage of her or fool around with her without intending to marry her?”
“If she can continue to bring me benefits, I might consider marrying her. But if I marry her, I’ll definitely become a laughing stock because of her affair with Chester. My family won’t approve of it for sure.”
Monte let out a deep sigh. “This is not easy, but if she’s willing to be with me, I’ll certainly support her forever. It won’t be the same as before. If she wants a child, I’m willing to give her one. My parents will definitely accept the child if it is part of the Patterson family.”
Hugo nodded in agreement. “Indeed. In fact, Eliza is smart. Having a woman like her as a wife will help a man a lot. Nevertheless, even if she won the case involving her affair with Chester, no decent man would want to marry her.”
“Exactly. Perhaps I shouldn’t have broken up with her. Then, her affair with Chester wouldn’t have happened. Eliza treated me quite well back then.
Among the many girlfriends I’ve had, she’s the only one who would save me from spending and even buy me gifts.”
At the mention of that, Monte regretted it a little. ” Ever since I got engaged to Lilian, I can’t stand her reckless spending. We haven’t even gotten married yet. Who knows if her behavior will turn worse after we get married?”
“The thing is, she’s not as pretty as Eliza,” Hugo mocked.
The two men shot a look at each other and flashed a knowing smile.
After all, men understood men the best.
In the car, it was so quiet that only the sound of the radio could be heard.
However, many boring advertisements were playing right at that moment.
The entire journey, Max kept a long face without saying a word.
“Who owes you money?”
Charity saw the cigarette box on the shelf. Then, she casually picked it up, took out one cigarette, and was about to put it on her pretty red lips.
Max promptly grabbed it and tossed it aside before telling her off. “Why do you want to smoke?”
“If men can smoke, why can’t women do the same?” Charity asked impassively.
Max lifted his eyes and said in a low voice, “We always have to go for training, and it’s stressful.”
“In that case, you should get some rest at home.” Charity turned around and threw a glance at him. ” It’s so late. Why did you come over with Ryan?”
“It’s because you were occupying their girlfriend and wife.” Max said amusingly, “Ryan called me and asked if I’m interested in Eliza. If I’m not, he’ll introduce a boyfriend to her. When I heard that, I quickly said I am. He then wondered why I’ve been passive since I’m interested. He also said it’s no wonder I can’t find a girlfriend for ages and that I deserve it…”
“Deserve what?” Charity was curious.
Max coughed lightly, and his face was flushed red. “I deserve having no sex life.”
Speechless, Charity rolled her eyes at him. “What a pervert.”
“I didn’t say that.” An innocent look washed over Max’s face.
Charity secretly sighed. No wonder Mireya was more open and bold recently. Sure enough, the previously conservative woman had been led astray.
“Look. I’ve made another sacrifice for you.” Max said with a sigh, “If it weren’t for me, Ryan and Shaun would’ve begun to look for a partner for you. Say, how would you thank me?”
“Tell me. How do you want me to thank you?” Charity asked.
Max pretended to contemplate. “Actually, my taste in clothing is so-so. Why don’t we go shopping one day and you help me pick out some clothes? Is that okay, movie star?”
Charity laughed. “Well, you’ll be wearing your uniform most of the time, so there’s no need to waste money on that. Seriously, just save the money.”
“No way. I want to buy it.” Max tapped the steering wheel and scoffed. “If I don’t dress up, I’ll probably never be able to get a girlfriend.”
After pausing for a few seconds, he glanced at Charity strangely. “Is it because you don’t want to go shopping with me? Or are you not grateful for my help? Just be frank. Then, I’ll tell Ryan tomorrow that I’m not interested in you and have him introduce a potential partner to you.”
“…Enough.” Charity snapped, feeling helpless. Were Ryan and the rest too bored? The women were busy with their careers, yet the men just wanted to keep their women company.
“So do you agree on going shopping?” Max winked and smirked.
Charity held her head in her hand. “Fine, fine. You can decide on the time.”
“Okay, tomorrow it is. Coincidentally, tomorrow is my day off,” said Max.
Just as Charity was about to speak, Monte suddenly sent her a WhatsApp message. [Babe, let’s go to your favorite restaurant to have breakfast tomorrow. I’ll pick you up at 9:00 p.m., okay?]
Max stole a look at the message and ridiculed, “Trash. Sc*mbag.”
Charity was at a loss for words.
At the same time, Chester happened to send her a message. [Come to the office at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow. I need to discuss something with you.]
Max took another glimpse at it and snorted. “Why do you always attract sc*mbags?”
“Where are your eyes at?” Charity’s lips twitched, and she asked, “Are you driving or trying to peek at my phone? Or do you have crossed eyes?”
“Don’t accuse me. I’m not peeking. I just glanced at the reflector. It’s your phone that’s too big.” Max quickly revealed an innocent look. “What’s more, I didn’t say anything wrong, did I? They’re trash and sc *mbags.”
“Yeah. I naturally attract sc*mbags, so you’re a sc* mbag too, aren’t you?” Charity asked with a half smile.
“Would you like to try it? Then, you’ll know,” Max said mischievously.
“Lame.”
Charity could not care less about him. She looked down and replied to those men’s messages to turn them down.
As for Chester, she gave a nasty response. [I’m currently just a shareholder of the company, and I don’t care about the company’s matters. All I care about is the bonus. If you need to discuss something with me, why did I agree to have you manage the company? You can step down. Don’t hold on to your position shamelessly.]
She just had to be so assertive and arrogant.
Chester was so angry that he gave Charity a call. ” Eliza, I originally planned to discuss letting you join the board of directors tomorrow, but it looks like you’re not interested in being a director.”
“Will you actually allow me to join the board of directors?” Charity found it quite astonishing.
“I did have such an idea, but… now?” Chester snickered. “It seems you want to be a shareholder until you die.”
“Babe, I suddenly feel like smoking. Can you light a cigarette for me?” Max’s extremely gentle voice sounded beside her.
Disgusted, Charity shuddered and glared at Max in a huff.
Max flashed a smile at her, revealing his white teeth. ” Babe, you’re good at lighting cigarettes. I like it.”
”Eliza, which man are you with so late at night?” Chester’s icy voice sounded from the phone. “Max?”
“No matter which man I’m with, what does it have to do with you?”
Charity hung up impatiently with a cold voice.
Max gave her a thumbs up. “Awesome.”
Charity looked at him wearily. “What are you trying to do?”
“Nothing much. I just want him to know that you have a boyfriend so he’ll stop pestering you.” Max grinned happily. “So you owe me again.”
Charity was so speechless that she did not want to say anything.
It was all too easy to owe him something.
Forget it. She owed him a lot anyway.
In the villa, Chester glanced at the time on his phone — 11:25 p.m.
¡®How dare this woman be with Max at such a late hour?’
¡®Is it just the two of them?’
