Dragon Master novel Maximilian novel Chapter 637

Resisting the bashfulness inside her, Victoria pushed her lips close to Maximilian’s mouth, and it was at that moment when Maximilian opened his eyes, looking into Victoria’s eyes.

"Hey!" Seeing that Maximilian was looking at her, Victoria was astonished and curled herself up on the sofa, covering her bashful cheeks with both hands.

"I told you to close your eyes, until I said you can open them!" Victoria grumbled in a flirting manner.

"I didn't mean to do it, but I thought there was a worm wriggling on my lips and therefore... How about we try another round? I swear I will keep my word this time." answered Maximilian with a joke and a fatuous smile.

"How dare you say that my mouth is a wriggling worm?" With a pouting smile on her face, Victoria said to Maximilian and poked him at his arm with her fingers.

Frolicking with each other for a while, the enviable couple finished up all the desserts and juice on the table.

"Any plans for the rest of the day, my fair lady?" asked Maximilian.

"Well, since I'm in a good mood today, I'm going to work with passion and energy. I guess it's about time for us to return to the company and check up some files. What do you think?"

The only thing in Victoria's mind now was heading back to the company, grabbing the opportunity to smoothen everything and pushing her business forward.

Maximilian was dumbfounded by her decision.

He didn't expect that the entertainment of his wife when she was in a good mood was nothing more than going back to the company and finishing her work.

'It is lucky for me to have a workaholic wife. Well, she needs my cover and I'd better help her do her job.' Maximilian thought.

"I agree. Listen, Victoria, how about we pack some of the desserts and take them with us back to the company? Your work is arduous and you will need some food to refresh yourself." Maximilian said, calling the manager in.

Before he could speak a word, the manager clapped his hands and then a group of waitresses came in with various food boxes on their hands.

"All these are the best made by the chefs. I sincerely asked Mr. Maximilian to take them and taste them. Also, here is a bottle of fresh juice. Please keep them frozen at home and finish them within four hours." the manager said, smiling in an ingratiating manner, as if he was one of Maximilian's men.

"That is great! Now, show me the bill and I'll pay it." Maximilian seemed more than delight for this.

"No, sir, they are free gifts. I hope you can kindly receive them." the manager answered, massaging his hands.

"To be honest, I'm surprised by your good will. Listen, I'm not ready to receive anything for free, and I recommend you give them to me and let me pay for them. Otherwise, you won't see me here again." Maximilian said in a plain tone.

If it was Thomas who came and offered him these unexpected gifts, Maximilian would accept them without any hesitation. However, he was not his men, and he didn't deserve it.

"Dear sir, I'm just carrying out the instructions from my boss Thomas." the manager said, smiling, "What's more, I personally have no authority to give our customer such an expensive gift. Besides, there is a lecture in the city hosted by Thomas, and he is inviting scholars with reputations to join as lecturers. I have just received a notice from Thomas and he said he wanted you to join him and give some lectures on economics."

The manager continued, “Please feel easy, Mr. Maximilian. These lectures are more of popularization and prospects than of preciseness and strictness. We are asking you to help us promote a benign academic atmosphere among the upper class circle in H city. What do you think?"

Maximilian laughed. It was out of his expectation that Thomas was busy doing something else other than catering. But after giving a second thought of Thomas's good interpersonal relationships, the lecture would be of great success if it was under appropriate management.
