CHAPTER 9

Author’s POV

COM's management camp was successful. Students and some Instructors are currently back from camp.

“Hey, just wondering. Where did you go yesterday? And why are you wearing something bad? ” Meghan. As usual, he and Maxine are together again. they are not separate although they are not close to each other.

“I went for a walk. How many times did you ask that question yesterday? How many times have you e-ni-re. ” and Maxine. It no longer bothered to glance at the neighbor.

“Hah! you’re hiding something, I knew it. ” unconvinced Meghan insisted.

"You're just imagining it." Maxine leaned back in the chair and decided to take a nap.

"No ---."

“Shhh! I will sleep. ” the girl even grabbed what Meghan had to say. He knew it would suck again.

"I hate you." the latter just whispered and rolled his eyes.

"Same here .." he laughed back here as well. Even she is mysterious to the man who saved her.

He knew that the first time they met the young man had not been good. he immediately judged it for its arrogance. But in what it did to save him yesterday, it is undeniable that he had a good heart despite his rudeness and arrogance.

Maxine and Beatriz arrived at the mansion at the same time. at school they were dropped off by buses and the students just commuted home .. ‘the others brought the drivers or their parents.

"Wait!" and Beatriz. It turned to Maxine and crossed her shoulders.

"Why?" Maxine asked as she bit by bit the maiden boss's belongings.

"In camp I still want to do this, eh."

Maxine stared at Beatriz in surprise. And it did not expect what the maiden boss did next. It laid a hand on him. However, contrary to Beatriz's expectations she did not show any emotion.

"What's that for, Miss Beatriz?" full of Maxine's sarcastic question that made the young boss even more annoyed.

"B*tch!" Beatriz is about to slap Maxine again when ..

"Beatriz!"

Both turned to the source of the voice. Mrs. Alfonzo.

"What do you think you are doing?" he asked the Son as he approached.

“Eh, that mutsa-tsang. Too much news in the camp! You'd think which princess would get a t-shirt, it looks like a rag! ”

"My God, your mouth Beatriz!" hysterical rebuke of the Lady to the Son.

“What ?! my God ‘Mom she’s just a piece of waste .. and she doesn’t deserve to be treated like ---.”

Maang Beatriz stared at Ina while holding her injured cheek. Even Maxine was shocked by what the Lady did, because this was the first time she had laid her hand on the Son.

"I didn't raise you like that to be an animal!" angry language of the Lady, traces in her voice the displeasure of what the Son had done.

"You slapped me just for this damn rag?" the girl asked Mother incredulously as she stabbed Maxine.

"Even if she's just a waitress, she deserves to be treated well."

Beatriz let out a violent sigh. It could not hide the frustration with the Mother.

“How I hate you‘ Mom! ” its weak salt then walked into the mansion.

"Be patient Beatriz, ija .." then the Lady apologized to Maxine when they were alone.

“It’s okay. And then you shouldn't have done that to Miss Beatriz .. it might hurt you. ”

"Let him. the tree as early as possible, the branches should be pruned so that it grows well. ” said Madam and smiled sadly. “Alas, I didn't even do that to Beatriz. I spoiled him too much. Look at her now --- it's hard for her to control. ”

"Your son's luck, Ma'am ..."

“Perlita is luckier than you. He supported you alone but he still raised you well. ” smiling language of the Lady who even messed up the girl's hair. “By the way, how is the camp? Did you enjoy it? ”

“It's okay. I really enjoy it. ”

"Good to hear."

Moments later the white car stopped in front of the two. The somewhat older man came out and opened the door for the Lady. Manong Simon, the driver of the Alfonzo family.

“Osya, come in and then you can rest. I still have a walk. ” said the Lady to Maxine before entering the car.

“All right. Take care." the girl waited for the old man to leave before closing the gate and then finally went inside.

Maxine’s POV

I WAS still in the living room but I could smell Mom's fragrant cooking from the kitchen. I went straight to the dirty kitchen to surprise it. I saw Mom busy with what she was cooking. Smiling I approached and hugged it from behind.

“Miss you,‘ Mom! ” I ejaculated as I hugged its back. I thought I would never see it again and embrace it like this.

“It's like we haven't seen each other for a year. Eh, you only disappeared for three days. ” said Mom as she turned around. It wasn't even surprised by my presence.

"Andaya .. don't you think you're even surprised?" I sniff here.

He tasted the cooking again before speaking.

“I saw Miss Beatriz. Doesn’t it seem like a good mood then? ”

I shook. "I'm aware of that abnormality ..." I whispered.

"Maxine, listen to me."

I just shrugged and hugged Mom again.

even though I'm lacking in material things .. I still don't regret that Mom became my parent.

"Take a bath and get dressed ..." he said as he let go of my embrace.

"Yes!" I responded enthusiastically then went to our room. It is just next to the kitchen area.

I PLEASED to observe my own reflection in the mirror as I combed my wet hair. I was wearing a black t-shirt and shorts.

I'm beautiful, I'm sexy too .. but why don't I even have a lover ?!

Maybe it's because I don't even know how to fix it. waley also in clothing --- I only have a t-shirt and jeans.

Terereret-terereret-terereretet

I rummaged in the backpack where my vintage phone was kept. Limahong is still the model of that time so don't be surprised by the ringtone.

"Hello?" wrinkled when I opened. the number is not registered.

“Hi!”

I think my forehead furrowed even more when I heard the baritone voice from the other line.

"Who is this."

“It’s Hevo. ”

That's great, eh!

"You called? Do you need something?" I will ask. I combed my wet hair again.

“Just want to ask if you’re free tonight ..”

I don’t know if it’s hoarse or just cute on the phone.

"Tsk, will you take me on a date?" biro ko. I don’t know why I said that.

Long before it answered. I even heard its sigh.

“Is it okay?”

yay!

"Ha-ah-eh." I no longer struggle to answer. I almost let go of the cellphone I was holding.

“Don't you ..?”

I don't know if I was just imagining, but Hevo's voice was sad.

Fine, I'm assuming!

"It's not like that .. in case I don't have a formal dress, eh .."

tsk, it’s embarrassing to admit but that’s real talk.

“Don’t worry about it. Wear what makes you feel comfortable. I won’t mind. You look beautiful no matter what you wear, eh. ”

I think my ear is three inches wide. This is the first time a man has praised me. My God.

"Okay ..."

“Thanks. I’ll pick you up at Seven. Bye ”

"Bye .."

A few minutes passed before I finally hung up the phone. I have a date. I must be excited but it seems normal? Where do I usually read in books?
