RedNovelChapter 38 Max seemed a bit down in the dumps.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was lounging in bed, enjoying the care from his fiancée Orlena. She fed him and brought him water, with zero princess tantrums.
Orlena was a knockout, and Max wasn't the kind to sell himself short. He shooed his subordinates away and then had Orlena pinned under him.
Orlena's cheeks flushed and her fingers gently touched his chest whispering, "Get off, would you? You're injured." Max's eyes were like a deep pool, filled with masculine aggression. She couldn't help but tremble. Soon, the atmosphere in the private ward heated up. Max's passion was irresistible, and it wasn't until two hours later that he finally let her go. Afterward, Orlena shyly snuggled up in his arms and asked coyly, "What's gotten into you today?" Max lazily replied, "Nothing, just missing you." Orlena gave him a peck on the lips. She cozied up to him and whispered, "My brother is coming hin a few days. I'll invite you for dinner. Harvey's got a few projects in his company that would be perfect for you. Make sure to put on a good show then." Max's gaze darkened slightly.
Orlena was reluctant to leave him, but she knew Max didn't like her being too clingy, so she left after half a day. Getting into the black car, she couldn't resist calling Harvey.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHarvey was in an important meeting today and his phone had been off. He was just turning it on when she called. He answered, "Orlena, what's up?" Orlena's eyes were still full of affection from their recent romp. Her slender fingers traced circles on the table as she said quietly, "Harvey, I need your help." Harvey loosened his tie, "What's wrong? Someone messing with you?" Orlena pouted, "Max got hurt, and he won't tellwho did it." Upon hearing Max's name, Harvey didn't respond immediately. Then, Orlena mumbled to herself, "What a day. Harvey, I ran into Landon today. He said Eloise's dad attempted suicide in jail. Poor thing." Harvey's hand that was loosening his tie suddenly stopped. He asked again, "Orlena, what did you just say?" Orlena repeated without hesitation, "Landon's girlfriend, her dad was in jail for financial crimes, right? He attempted suicide. So sad." Harvey was silent for a moment, then told Orlena he had something to deal with and had to hang up. Orlena was a bit anxious, "Harvey, I haven't finished." Harvey said, "We'll talk later." Then he hung up. Harvey tried to call Eloise, but couldn't get through. Her phone was off. He decided to call Attorney Bowen directly.
Attorney Bowen told him the situation, then joked, "Harvey, this is a great opportunity for you to be the knight in shining armor." Harvey gave a bitter smile, "You're joking at a tlike this?" After hanging up, he had his secretary Denise book a flight for that night. Denise was surprised, "Attorney Horigan, you have a court case tomorrow morning." The court!
case for habech Harvey suddenly snapped back to reality. He had completely forgotten about it. He had been working on this case for a month and the court date was tomorrow. There was no way he could leave.
Harvey thought for a moment and wrote a note to Denise. It read, "Fly to Peterborough tomoxow morning and find Ms. Laurent. Here's her address and phone number. Have her call me." Denise saw a picture of Eloise and smiled, "Ms. Laurent is so beautiful!" Harvey shot her a look, and Denise didn't dare to say another word.
After Denise left, Harvey continued to work on the materials for tomorrow's court case, but every hour or two he would try to call Eloise again. However, he didn't get through till late into the night. In the wee hours, Harvey booked a flight for the next afternoon.
