“Don’t worry, that would be the last. Okay, gentlemen you up!”, she sat afterward, then the waiters were serving the food.
The waiter served Luna first the food and gave her another sweet smile and a cute wink. Maximus saw what the waiter did. It made him mad, so he cleared his throat and looked at the waiter seriously. When he’s done serving, Maximus spoke.
“From now on you are fired,” Maximus told him with a serious tone.
Maximus then looked at Luna and Sarah with a dissatisfied expression. The waiter including Luna got surprised, especially Sarah.
“No, Maximus. It’s okay. He’s just kidding” Sarah felt guilty. He provoked her brother although she already knew that he’s not happy about what happened a while ago. Now, the waiter will be going to lose his job because of her fault.
Before the waiter speaks and asks about the reason, Maximus begins talking coldly while still looking at Luna. Sarah thought that her brother was upset. Maybe, Is it because of Luna.
“Who allowed you to wink and make my guest feel uncomfortable? Do you like her?” Maximus asked in a serious tone. “Or this is the service my restaurant serves for the customer?”
“N-no sir, I j-just …” the waiter stuttered.
“Maximus, please. It’s okay” Sarah tried to stop her brother, then she stared at the waiter. “It’s okay mister waiter. You’re just doing your job”. Sarah said then smiled at the waiter.
“Do not show some actions that might lead to misunderstanding. Leave!” Maximus ordered and began looking at the waiter with his sharp eyes.
“T-thank you, Sir.” T The waiter immediately asked for forgiveness and left immediately.
He began looking at the waiter with his sharp eyes. The waiter immediately asked for forgiveness and left immediately.
Sarah is right. Her brother was angry because of Luna. She never saw his brother act like that just because of a woman. Today’s the first time she saw her brother lose his patience. A smile formed on Sarah’s face after she discovered something. She’s very lucky to meet Luna.
Soon, her brother will finally have his own family. Sarah felt excited at the thought of her having a niece and nephew.
“Okay, forget everything, and let’s eat. Bon Appetit!” she smiled while raising her wine glass, trying to change the mood. Then they began to eat and talked about some random kinds of stuff.
While Sarah and Luna talked, Maximus just watched the two women in front of him and did not talk much since he does not have any idea about the topic that Sarah and Luna talked about
After dinner, Sarah received a call from her mother abroad.
“Brother, I need to go. Mom called me to talk about some business matters. Can you send Luna home?”, Sarah put her makeup and lipstick on while looking at the small mirror.
Luna looked at her. She understood Luna’s eyes. She doesn’t want to send her home with her brother.
“Ah! No need to bother, Sarah. I can take care of myself. I can ride a cab” Luna felt embarrassed with the thought that Maximus might be involved in an issue of sending a woman home at night. Luna is well aware that people like Maximus are always in the news because of their status in life.
“Hey what are you saying, Luna? It’s already dark outside. I can’t let you go home by yourself. Don’t worry, no one will dare to follow you. My brother will only lift his finger to overthrow the world” Sarah chuckled, as she tried to calm Luna with her jokes, but it seems it is not working so she made herself serious “He knew martial arts, my brother is a good fighter and in fact. Rest assured that he will keep you safe”
Sarah hugged Luna before she left with a smile on her face. It seems that she is planning on something.
“Thank you, Sarah. Wish I could talk more stuff with you today.”, said Luna.
“You’re now my best friend Luna. And don’t worry, I’ll treat you again next time. See you again”, they kissed each other’s cheeks, then she left and waved at them.
I’ll let my brother have a good time with her. Sarah thought, smiling mischievously.
Luna and Maximus stared at each other. She felt afraid and uncomfortable on the inside because of how Maximus looked at her. Maximus then felt something on his chest while kept staring at her, but he ignored it because he thought it was nothing.
“Let’s go” Maximus offered his hand to Luna. Luna bit her lips and stretched her hands to reach his hand. When they held hands, both felt amused by the warmth of each other’s hands. Luna thought that Maximus’s hand was big and manly while Maximus thought of her hand as small and delicate.
The two went outside of the restaurant to the parking lot. Maximus and Luna went inside the car. Maximus opened the car door for Luna. She noticed that Maximus was a gentleman. Shawn always did this to her before whenever she fetched her home and would never let her open the car door by herself. That’s why Luna fell in love with Shawn because he always treated her like a lady.
While driving, Luna cannot avoid looking at Maximus’s explicit features every time she glanced at his side. She thought a god was beside her driving. She cannot even deny that Maximus was more handsome than Shawn. She thought of Shawn again, Luna shook her head and continued admiring Maximus’s looks.
How did he manage to be so handsome? Even her sister got a beautiful face and figure like her. Maybe the Frost family is a family of good-looking people. She envied them.
Maximus noticed her glances. He smiled secretly and wondered why the woman beside her was staring at him, while Luna did not notice that Maximus already caught her in an act.
“Ms. Florence, do you like my face? You keep on glancing at me” Maximus asked straightforward while smirking at her.
Luna jolted and looked away. She secretly covered her face because of embarrassment. There is no way for her to lie since she was caught in an act.
