At night, Luna prepared herself for the dinner. She wore a simple pastel dress and light makeup. She never enjoyed changing her looks since she does not want too much attention from other people. She looked in the mirror and saw a beautiful woman in front of her. The dress really suited her gorgeous body and white skin. Her mom looks like her when her mom was in her youth.
She suddenly thought of Maximus. She’ll be about to see him again at dinner with Sarah. She hoped that Maximus would not brag about marrying her again.
Once again, she looked at the mirror. She looked elegant tonight, better than Liza but why did Shawn leave her if she’s even more beautiful than Liza? More like a complete package, yet he chose Liza over her. Did he also forget what is beautiful and what is not?
A sudden knock on the door made Luna come back to her senses. After hearing the second knocks, she immediately drags her purse and prepares to leave.
She thought the driver already arrived, so she quickly grabbed her things and opened the door.
“Good evening Ms. Luna”
Luna froze when she saw the person that would bring her to her friend. He’s not just an ordinary man. He is …
“M-Maximus?” What is he doing here? Luna thought.
“Do I look stunning to your eyes that I made you stutter to say my name?” Maximus said while smiling.
He looked at her from head to toe and smiled when he saw how beautiful and elegant Luna was when wearing a simple and pastel dress. His family will definitely like Luna, especially his grandmother who likes simple things.
“You are so beautiful tonight. I like you, I mean your dress” Maximus’s compliments made Luna blushed. He said something that he never said before. It is because Mister Sun taught him what to say since he does not have any idea.
“What are you doing here?” She ignored him. How could Maximus say something so casually? She thought.
“My sister asked me to bring you with me to the dinner party. You should be thankful I spared some time for you” Maximus said proudly because he never did this before for a woman. Luna was lucky.
Here he goes again with his attitude. Luna thought. Then she rolled her eyes. She wonders why Maximus bothered himself by sending her to their home when she can go there alone. Maybe because Maximus was really serious about marrying her in the future.
“Whatever. Let’s go.” She walked first and went inside the car without waiting for Maximus to open the car door for her.
Maximus smirked whenever he saw Luna’s annoyed face because of him. Luna did not know that she makes a cute face when she’s mad.
When they arrive at Frost’s Resident. Luna’s jaw almost dropped when she saw the mansion of Maximus. The design was like in the Roman era.
There are four large columns, a statue of large eagles, a wide garden, and a large fountain in front of the mansion. It was stunning.
“Is this… Are you sure that this is your house? It’s so…” Luna asked when she realized that Maximus’s house was not just an ordinary house unlike hers. She cannot compare his house to her house.
“Yes, Ms. Luna, this is my house. Why did you ask?” Maximus asked her with a smirk.
Luna looked at him with frustration.
“I thought it was a government agency, more likely a post office, something like that” Luna smiled.
It’s payback time. A gift for your dumbass. Luna thought.
Maximus’s left brow raised when Luna compared the post office to his mansion. He spent almost billions of money just to build a mansion.
“You’re comparing my mansion to a mere post office?” Maximus’s mad.
She really got bad taste when it comes to judging a house, huh? Maximus thought.
“Why? it does look like one”, Luna teased him.
“Hey, I hired the world’s best architects and famous workers to build that house” Maximus being a little bit mad
“Is that so? Have you ever seen some government property before?” Luna asked, then laughed.
“Thank God we’re for dinner tonight, if not, I’ll kiss you,” Maximus mumbled.
“Did you say something?” Luna did not hear what Maximus said.
“Huh, nothing. I said you’re beautiful.”
“I know right”, then she flipped her hair, making Maximus stunned.
“But I think you’re right… It does look like a post office. I’ll let you win this time”, then he winked at her. Luna blushed a little bit.
Maximus remembered that he already went to both private and government properties before for his business meetings.
He then realized the similarities – the columns and statues – looked the same as the post office.
Suddenly, Maximus made a phone call to his assistant Mister Sun.
Mister Sun answered his call.
“Mister Sun, I wanted you to call my private lawyer and make sure to file a case against the person who designed my house. How can he make my house look like a post office?”
Both Luna and Mister Sun got shocked. Maximus seriously took what Luna said. Now, because of Luna, someone will be about to go behind bars. Luna got nervous.
“For goodness sake Maximus, I’m just teasing you. What I meant is your house is good, even though it looked like a government property. But still much better than the post office. You also said before that it doesn’t matter what kind of house you have, as long as you can feel it like a home right?” Luna said. She does not want to cause trouble for others.
“Still, I don’t want my house to look like a post office. I wanted to impress you, for you to accept my proposal. But I think you’re disappointed, and I will make sure the people behind this building will go to jail.”
Luna sighed. She shouldn’t have teased him in the first place. She never thought that a genius, simple-minded Maximus would take the joke seriously and had mood swings.
“Mister Frost, you are the only person who didn’t notice the design. Your family didn’t tell you about that because we thought that you will really love the design” Mister Sun said.
He literally made Maximus mad.
“WHAT?!”, Maximus shouted.
Oh, my goodness, Maximus got mad because of me. What should I do? Luna thought.
Luna is about to go crazy.
