Chapter 1675: After what she’s done, he’s still willing to help.
Meanwhile...
Max and Kiara drove past where Hugo and Ginnie were still standing. He drove carefully, staring at the two. Even when they had already passed them, Max still glanced at the side mirror and smiled.
"Heh," he snickered, feeling a bit accomplished.
Kiara, on the other hand, just stared at him from the front passenger seat.
"So, what’s that all about?" she asked, snapping him out of whatever thoughts were running in his mind.
Max glanced at her briefly and then shifted his focus to the road. "Nothing."
"Nothing?" she repeated. "Max, you just dragged me out with you using the excuse of business talks. And now, you’re smiling after leaving those two together."
"It’s really nothing!" he intoned. "And hey, I dragged you out because I do want to talk business with you. I’m expanding my business, and the dropshipping industry is growing very fast."
Kiara blinked. "I still don’t believe you, Max."
"Tch." He clicked his tongue, giving her a side-eye. "I still like you better when we were teens. Back then, you talked less."
"Back then, I held back a lot of things," she corrected. "Now, I see bull and I call it out."
He frowned, but wasn’t surprised by her. He had met Kiara a couple of times in business settings or at exhibits where she tried to expand her business. All casual meetings, and he’d discovered how much this former classmate of his had changed over the years.
