Secret Crush

Chapter 246 Be Careful

The maid habitually took his coat and he asked, "Where is she?"

Naturally, she was referring to Leila.

"Miss Leila has not come back yet since this morning."

"When did it happen?"

"Not long after you left in the morning!"

A dark look appeared on Max's face. It has been several hours since this morning. Yet he didn’t found out until now. His mind was in a mess. And a bad feeling arose in his heart. He guessed that it must have something to do with Spencer. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Suddenly, a delicate box fell out from the table when Max was about to get even with Spencer. Max picked it up and saw the cuff link that Leila bought for him. He still remembered what she said that she asked him to open it when she was not around.

When Max unfolded the silver cuff link, it seemed exquisite. Men like him has seen almost everything, but it was kindly reminded by Leila, so there must be something special.

Sure enough, when Max saw that Leila's name was engraved on the bottom of the cuff link, he was a little surprised. Why did this woman have her name engraved on the cuff link?

He really wanted to ask her!

The maid saw that Max was in a daze and did not dare to say anything, so she went straight into the kitchen.

While looking at the box, Max seemed to see the face of Leila appear in front of him. And she was a little abnormal last night. Max called the maid and asked something. The answer was exactly the same as what he had thought.

Max suddenly realized that he was in a daze, so he took his coat and walked outside.

The car was speeding on the straight highway. Sitting on the seat, Max recalled what had happened in the past. It seemed that everything was planned by Spencer. Yet Max hadn't noticed anything wrong last night, especially that Leila seemed somewhat abnormal. But he hadn't noticed that.

The black Maybach steadily blocked the way of the red Ferrari. Spencer raised his eyebrows as he saw Max and the he asked, "Well, Mr. Mu, are you going to work overtime now? Why don't you go back and accompany the future sister-in-law?"

A mischievous smirk appeared on the face of Spencer. When Spencer saw the darkened expression on Max's face, Spencer knew that Max discovered that Leila had disappeared, and everything seemed to be within his expectations. Moreover, things seemed to be more smooth than Spencer had expected.

"Where is Leila?"

Max roared at Spencer with all his strength, but there was still a faint smile on the face of Spencer. It was probably the first time that Spencer had seen Max get angry. Spencer didn't expect that Leila had such a high position in Max's heart, which was beyond his expectation.

Patting on the shoulder of Max, for the first time Spencer felt like he was stepping Max on his feet. "Don't worry, elder brother. I know you care about the future sister-in-law, but you don't look sincere at all!"

"What do you want?" asked Max, with a gloomy face.

A wild smile appeared at the corners of the mouth of Spencer. Everything went on towards his plan. Max was gradually entering his conspiracy. Spencer looked at Max unabashedly. "Elder brother, you should know clearly what I want!"

It was a well-known fact that the Mu Group was the target of Spencer. However, in consideration of his ambition, both Max and Matt didn't allow Spencer to enter the core management of the Mu Group.

"Father said that sooner or later you would be allowed to enter the core management. Are you too impatient to wait?" Max pushed away the hands of Spencer.

All of a sudden, the smile on the face of Spencer disappeared. With a gloomy face, Spencer stared at Max and said, "Sooner or later? I'm afraid that I can't get the control of the Mu Group as long as you work for it. But now I know your weakness. That woman called Leila is your weakness. I give you three days to consider my suggestion. If you don't, I'll kill her! "

Hearing that, Max squinted at Spencer with a dangerous expression in his eyes. "How dare you! I warn you not to touch Leila, or I will teach you a lesson! "

A light smile broke out on the face of Spencer. Spencer was more complacent when he saw the ashen look on Max's face. "If you don't want something bad to happen to Leila, do as I said. Otherwise, you know the consequence!"

Spencer said no more words, turned around and got on the car. Spencer smiled at Max through the car door. "Oh, I forgot to tell you, you definitely can't find where Leila is this time, so you can consider my suggestion!"

The car went away, leaving only the exhaust gas.

Max was so angry that he clenched his fist and hit the car. Where the hell did Spencer hide Leila?

After a long time, Leila heard that the heavy iron gate was slowly opened, whose sound was so dull that it seemed to have not been used for a long time. Then the sound of footsteps became closer.

"The superior said that this woman must be locked in here for three days. You should take good care of her. Don't let her escape. The consequence will be very serious."

Soon, Leila felt some footsteps approaching towards her. Her heart wrenched, so she leaned against the wall, pretending to be asleep, but she didn't expect that the man got close to her and kick her legs. "Wake up, don't die!"

Leila moved her legs and feet. The man confirmed that she was still alive and went to the place where there were many people. This time, Spencer had gone through a detailed and thoughtful plan before he found the people. Spencer was very careful with every step. Last time Leila was found so easily by Max, so this time he was even more careful.

A clear voice came from the distance that several men were playing cards, Leila felt relaxed. It seemed that they didn't want to hurt her. Then what was their purpose? To threaten Max?

After thinking of Bertha and Spencer, Leila didn't dare to keep on thinking. It seemed that Spencer and Bertha had conspired to kidnap her!

The only purpose of their doing so was to threaten Max. Suddenly, Leila became less afraid. She really wanted to know what Max was doing. If he had found that she was missing, would he worry about her and look for her.

It was not until very late when Max returned to the villa. And the light in the living room was still on. When he pushed the door and went in, the maid came to greet him, "Mr. Mu, Miss Leila hasn't come back yet. I don't know..."

Upon hearing this, Max waved his hand. Thinking that it was pitch dark outside and that this woman was afraid of darkness, he became upset again. He hurriedly went upstairs and went into the study, leaving the maid stunned there.

No light was turned on in the study and Max thought things while closing eyes. He suddenly opened his eyes, in the darkness, a pair of sharp eyes was shining with deep light. After turning on the lamp, a sound of car was heard in the courtyard. Soon, Robert appeared at the door of the study.

"What's going on?" Robert waled towards Max and asked this.

Frowning, Max put out the cigarette end in his hand. "Leila was kidnapped. It's Spencer!"

Hearing this, Robert frowned. He thought, 'If it was Spencer, this man still had a gangland behind him. Besides, if he did something bad to Max, then the Mu Group...'

"You mean..."

Max stood up and walked to Robert. "We only have three days."

Robert frowned. He hadn't expected that Spencer would have taken them by surprise. Robert thought for a while and then looked at Max, "What are you going to do? Leila... "

"We must save her and make sure her safety!"

Robert nodded. He could tell what Leila meant to Max. On the other hand, Leila was his college classmate so Robert must find a way to get her back no matter what happened.

Striding to the window, Max stared blankly at the night sky and said, "I'll give you three days to think of a way!"

After a short pause, Robert nodded. Robert slowly walked up to the man's back and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. "It seems that you really love her this time?"

Hearing that, Max didn't say a word. While Leila's image kept rolling in his mind.

In an abandoned warehouse in the suburb.

The muddy light made Leila's eyes painful. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the people in front of her. The several burly men just gave her a glance and sent the food to her. Leila winced with fear.

"Don't worry. We won't hurt you for the time being. As long as our boss gets what he wants, you can leave here naturally."

"Is your boss Spencer? Did he kidnap me? "

The man said nothing more but put the food in front of her. "You don't need to know that much. The only thing you need to know is that you have only three days. If your man doesn't take any action by then, you will know the consequence!"

Leila thought, 'Although I'm safe now, but what about three days later? It seems that this time Spencer would demand much.' Suddenly, Leila would like to know whether Max would give up on her or in exchange her with his own interests!

Suddenly, Leila was looking forward to the arrival of three days later. She wanted to know how important she was to Max.

The man came to the front of Leila, seeing that the woman was in a daze, he immediately urged, "What are you staring at? Eat quickly!"

Then Leila was eating the meal quietly. Although she was kidnapped, the people treated her well. They gave her food and water. "What if your boss doesn't get what he wants after three days?"

The man snorted, "What else can I do? Throw you into the sea to feed the sharks!"

Leila was shocked. She could no longer eat anything. She was suddenly afraid of the arrival of three days later. If Max didn't show up then, her life would be in danger. Thinking of this, she was a little scared.

"Now you don't have to worry about it. Anyway, it will be three days later whether your man will save you or not, so now you should eat well!"

At this time, Leila felt like weeping but had no tears. Now she was eager to know the result of three days later.

Early in the morning, the sun shone into the study through the thick curtains, and Max stared at the delicate box on the table. How afraid was Leila now? The man did not dare to think more. He picked up his coat and went out.

When Max came downstairs, the maid had already prepared breakfast. Looking at Max, she felt a little scared, "Mr. Mu, Miss Leila... She didn't come back the whole night. "

Max nodded. He knew Leila hasn't come back yet. She was kidnapped now. How could she come back? The maid didn't dare to say anything more. Leila hadn't come back for a whole night, while Max had stayed in the study all night. When Max came out in the morning, he looked somewhat tired.
