Chapter 174: Kneel!
Unbeknownst to her, Maxim had never liked such things. He preferred neater pages above those colorful add-ons. And he did not need those cute notes to remember things. He had intended to tell her that but looking at her bright eyes, he could not bring himself to hamper her mood.

Alex was about to snap at the man again but looking at his expressions, his face turned weird, ’’Hey, you... I am talking to you, what are you smiling for?"

The man shoved all the contents on the table down to the floor.

Maxim pushed himself to his feet and walked around the table, only to be blocked by Alex again.

As soon as you called, he rushed to his study to answer it,’’ Alex spoke through gritted teeth, "I have warned you again and again, Maxim. Don’t blame me if I lose my patience with you.’’
