Chapter 127
Maximilian said, "Come in," and Felix walked in with a tray, setting the soup bowl on the table.
Maximilian glanced at it, his eyebrows furrowing. He had health issues, and the two elderly folks loved to stock up on all sorts of random nutritious soups for him.
To keep them happy, he would obediently drink them.
This time was no different. Maximilian picked up the porcelain white soup bowl, downed it in a few gulps, and went back to his documents.
In the bathroom, Katniss was nervously washing up. A few days ago, after coming back from school, she found her room filled with men's belongings that looked very familiar -they were Maximilian's.
She was shocked and didn't dare to ask.
She was afraid that if she asked, it would arouse suspicion about their relationship from others.
Since it was a collaboration, she had to play her role well and be a good Mrs. Landon for this year.
Luckily, Maximilian worked very late every day and got up very early. They had lived together for a few nights without running into each other!
When she went to bed, Maximilian was still working in the study. When she got up, Maximilian had already woken up early to exercise, drink tea, and read financial newspapers.
What's the scariest thing in this world?
It's not that you have no money or aren't smart;, it's that someone who is a hundred or
a thousand times richer than you is also smarter and works harder than you.
Maximilian deserved the money he owned.
After dragging out her bath, Katniss came out in loose pajamas as usual. When she walked to the bedroom, she paused.
Katniss blinked. This was the first time the two of them had met in the bedroom, alone.
"Maximilian, aren't you working today?" Katniss asked while grabbing the hairdryer to dry her hair.
Maximilian, sitting on the sofa, looked up at Katniss and said quietly, "If I keep working, you get to have this room all to yourself?"
