Chapter 1139 - 1138: Ran Over Because... I Missed You
Alan was stunned, wasn’t she supposed to be working at Star Media?
Why did she suddenly appear here?
Alan felt very strange, but still moved aside.
"Nia?"
Maxwell Peary was also very surprised, why did she come?
He looked at the time; it was currently work hours.
"What’s wrong?"
Seeing her face not looking so good, Maxwell immediately stood up from the chair and quickly walked over to her side.
"It’s nothing."
Nia Mitchell bit her lip, not knowing what to say.
Earlier, feeling flustered, she left Star Media in a hurry, not expecting to drive here.
Alan, being very considerate, turned and left, giving them the space.
"What’s really wrong?"
Maxwell found it very strange and immediately took her hand, leading them to sit on the sofa.
"Look at you, there’s not a trace of a smile on your face."
Maxwell pinched her cheek, trying to cheer her up.
But......
Nia Mitchell’s face remained long and glum.
With a sigh of disinterest, Maxwell leaned in and captured her lips.
"Mmph!"
Nia Mitchell’s eyes widened.
Damn!
Uncle always uses this same trick!
Her small fists hit his shoulder hard, but it was futile.
After a long while...
What seemed like an eternity later, Maxwell finally let her go.
Seeing her flushed face and slightly swollen lips, Maxwell nodded in satisfaction.
"If you don’t say anything, I’ll continue."
With that, he was about to lean in again.
"Hey hey hey! Stop!"
Nia Mitchell immediately stopped him, reaching out to put some distance between them.
"Actually... it’s nothing major."
Nia hesitated, thinking it might not be a good idea to tell the CEO that Edbert liked her.
Moreover, once she said it, Uncle definitely wouldn’t let her work at Star Media anymore.
She was just a little flustered.
She now felt Edbert’s words made sense; she couldn’t leave Star Media over such a small thing.
"I just missed you."
Nia suddenly looked up, smiling.
But don’t underestimate Young Master Peary’s observational skills; how could he not know she was lying?
Only, what she said was too tempting, completely drawing Young Master Peary in.
What to do?
He didn’t even feel like questioning further anymore.
"You really missed me?"
Maxwell asked happily, all his fatigue gone.
Nia was taken aback, her cheeks red, as she looked at the CEO.
"Did you miss me?"
Evading the topic, Nia directly asked back.
"Yes."
The CEO had no reservations about expressing his feelings, his eyes showing a bit of fondness after he spoke.
Hearing his candid response, Nia felt much better.
"So, you missed me, which is why you ran out from Star Media?"
Nia:......
Ha, how to explain this?
She could only awkwardly nod.
"Then, if I miss you in the future and come to Star Media looking for you, you can’t be mad at me."
"Have I ever been mad at you?"
Indeed, what a woman hears and what a man wants to express are completely different.
Maxwell was taken aback, his face full of disbelief.
"When have I ever been mad at you? Tell me? I’m so gentle."
Tsk tsk.
In this world, only Nia Mitchell could shamelessly say such things.
