Secret Crush

Chapter 15 The Wasteland Was Rebuilt (Part One)

To her surprise, Max didn't get angry. Leila felt nothing but suppressed. She was perturbed all the way. It wasn't until the car stopped that she realized she had to go to work. Then she said with hesitation, "I have to work..."

She didn't dare to speak loudly, but her weak voice still displeased the man by her side. He turned to look at her coldly and said indifferently, "It seems that you have a bad memory. I told you that your work is just to please me."

For the first time, Max repeated his words twice. Leila trembled. Although she was dissatisfied, she could not show any emotion on her face. She lowered her voice and said, "I see."

Getting out of the car following Max, Leila looked around and then frowned. There was nobody else here. Unknowingly, they are out of the city. It's summer now, but the cold wind around still made Leila shiver a little.

Max turned around, looked at her with an indifferent gaze, and then said indifferently, "Give me your hand."

Feeling extremely flattered, Leila looked at the hand he held out. She was so shocked that she kept watching for a long time. Then Max's face became more gloomy. ‘Did she have to force me to repeat a sentence twice?’

On the edge of Max's explosion, Leila stretched out her hand in time. He glanced coldly at her, but said nothing. She breathed a sigh of relief, and followed him step by step into an unknown path, which was almost not able to be regarded as a path.

It was really hard to call it as a road. It was surrounded by the weeds, which were about half height. People made this path by deliberately stepping on. Leila, who used to walk on the asphalt road,

staggered in high heels. Due to Max was holding her hand, she didn't fall down to the ground and felt disgraced. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Leila looked into the distance and asked, "Where are we going?"

Clutching her hand, Max walked forward without answering her. Leila could only follow him step by step. But it felt like a blind man walking. She was so nervous that her heart beat faster.

After a long time, Max stopped. Leila gasped for air. Yet on seeing the room in front of her, she forgot to breathe.

This was an old room, strictly speaking, it could not be called a room. Because there was no roof, Leila swallowed spittle and didn't know what Max brought her here for.

"Go in."

Leila was shocked by the sudden voice and trembled all over. She frowned. Looking at the room in front of her, Leila thought it was like a haunted room in the movie. Although Leila knew she shouldn't ask such a question, she said uncontrollably, "Why should I go in first?"

With a gloomy face, Max looked at the little woman who was flinching back. ‘Was she so timid?’

He was right. Leila could do anything, but being brave was the most difficult thing for her. She wasn't afraid of all the difficulties, but she was extremely afraid of things that could not be explained by science.

"Excuse me, can I stay outside?"

Leila asked cautiously, with a look of appeal in her eyes. When she was not prepared, Max suddenly opened the door and Leila let out a scream. The blue veins on Max's temple were throbbing due to her scream, which made Max began to doubt if it was a wrong choice to bring her to this place.

Without observing any movement after screaming, Leila squinted her eyes into a seam. The first sight she saw was the sullen face of Max. She tried to suppress the fear in her heart, nodded slightly and apologized, "Sorry, I have lost control..."

Max ignored her and went straight into the room. Leila hurried to keep up with him. To her surprise, the room was not as gloomy as she thought. Instead, it was neat and tidy. If the dust on the tables and chairs was removed, the room would look pretty normal, so Leila gradually calmed down.

Leila followed Max closely. There was a door in the other side of the room. Seeing Max walk forward and open the door, Leila felt her view became broad in a flash. On the opposite side stood the endless weeds. As it was summer, the green leaves brought a visual impact. The air was filled with a faint fragrance of grass. She finally realized how inappropriate her scream was.

"How do you like this place?"

Hearing the deep and magnetic voice of Max, Leila answered truthfully, "Very good."

Max cast a glace at Leila and then he said, "If we rebuilt the wasteland into an amusement park, what do you think?"

Leila raised an objection by instinct, "If we rebuilt it, we would rather build a farm. Look, it's a fertile land, and the weeds are so thick. In this case, if we rebuilt a farm, the quality of cultured plants or fruits must be good."

Leila squatted down, picked up a little of the soil and smelled it. Then she smiled at him and said, "What I guessed is right. The acid-base value of this land is just right. If it is improved a little more, there would be no problem to plant fruit here."

With his deep eyes, Max listened to Leila say it in a humorous way. He had done a thorough research on her. She majored in finance at university. At first, he just wanted to test her ability, but he didn't expect that she would give him such a big surprise. He slightly squinted his eyes and said, "You've learned agriculture?"

What he said pulled Leila back to reality completely. She had just forgotten that the person in front of her was the CEO of Mu Group. Playing tricks in front of such a person was really beyond her ability. She closed her lips and then said "I had took a few agricultural courses when I was at college."

The emotion in Max's eyes became more and more difficult to grasp. He said with a few words, "Go on."

Leila was stunned for a while, and finally she realized that he wanted her to go on saying something about the land. She paused, and the pride of a swift horse that had been taken by Bo Le, a tatent scout, arose spontaneously.

"I have just looked around and found that the specific data still need to be measured by electric devices. At that time, we can build not only a planting farm, but also some other houses. Since there is a distance from the city, this season it can be used as a resort. In this way, the profit of this land will be increased quickly."

An expression change appeared on Max's face. He hadn't thought of the plan of the resort. In this way, the scale of the operation would not be small. Normally, without enough confidence, ordinary people wouldn't have the guts to make such a propose. His eyes twinkled.
