Resisting the bashfulness inside her, Victoria pushed her lips close to Maximilian's mouth, and it was at that moment when Maximilian opened his eyes, looking into Victoria's eyes.

"Hey!" Seeing that Maximilian was looking at her, Victoria was astonished and curled herself up on the sofa, covering her bashful cheeks with both hands.

"I told you to close your eyes, until I said you can open them!" Victoria grumbled in a flirting manner.

"I didn't mean to do it, but I thought there was a worm wriggling on my lips and therefore... How about we try another round? I swear I will keep my word this time." answered Maximilian with a joke and a fatuous smile.

"How dare you say that my mouth is a wriggling worm?" With a pouting smile on her face, Victoria said to Maximilian and poked him at his arm with her fingers.

Frolicking with each other for a while, the enviable couple finished up all the desserts and juice on the table.

"Any plans for the rest of the day, my fair lady?" asked Maximilian.

"Well, since I'm in a good mood today, I'm going to work with passion and energy. I guess it's about time for us to return to the company and check up some files. What do you think?"

The only thing in Victoria's mind now was heading back to the company, grabbing the opportunity to smoothen everything and pushing her business forward.

Maximilian was dumbfounded by her decision.

He didn't expect that the entertainment of his wife when she was in a good mood was nothing more than going back to the company and finishing her work.

'It is lucky for me to have a workaholic wife. Well, she needs my cover and I'd better help her do her job.' Maximilian thought.

"I agree. Listen, Victoria, how about we pack some of the desserts and take them with us back to the company? Your work is arduous and you will need some food to refresh yourself." Maximilian said, calling the manager in.

Before he could speak a word, the manager clapped his hands and then a group of waitresses came in with various food boxes on their hands.

"All these are the best made by the chefs. I sincerely asked Mr. Maximilian to take them and taste them. Also, here is a bottle of fresh juice. Please keep them frozen at home and finish them within four hours." the manager said, smiling in an ingratiating manner, as if he was one of Maximilian's men.

"That is great! Now, show me the bill and I'll pay it." Maximilian seemed more than delight for this.

"No, sir, they are free gifts. I hope you can kindly receive them." the manager answered, massaging his hands.

"To be honest, I'm surprised by your good will. Listen, I'm not ready to receive anything for free, and I recommend you give them to me and let me pay for them. Otherwise, you won't see me here again." Maximilian said in a plain tone.

If it was Thomas who came and offered him these unexpected gifts, Maximilian would accept them without any hesitation. However, he was not his men, and he didn't deserve it.

"Dear sir, I'm just carrying out the instructions from my boss Thomas." the manager said, smiling, "What's more, I personally have no authority to give our customer such an expensive gift. Besides, there is a lecture in the city hosted by Thomas, and he is inviting scholars with reputations to join as lecturers. I have just received a notice from Thomas and he said he wanted you to join him and give some lectures on economics."

The manager continued, "Please feel easy, Mr. Maximilian. These lectures are more of popularization and prospects than of preciseness and strictness. We are asking you to help us promote a benign academic atmosphere among the upper class circle in H city. What do you think?"

Maximilian laughed. It was out of his expectation that Thomas was busy doing something else other than catering. But after giving a second thought of Thomas's good interpersonal relationships, the lecture would be of great success if it was under appropriate management.

"It's not bad. You can consider it." Victoria whispered to Maximilian.

Maximilian answered with a smile, "I don't think a man with only an associate degree is qualified to give a lecture."

"There is an old saying that what makes a hero is not where they come from. If someone like you fails to qualify for this, I think no one is qualified. Inviting you to be one of the lecturers is our supreme honor." The manager was trying every way out to persuade Maximilian, making sure his duty was fulfilled.

And clearly, Maximilian was impressed by him.

He was in a good mood and nodded his head with a satisfactory smile, "OK, I accept it. Just tell me the time when everything is prepared. My first lecture will be on economics and I won't prepare any speech. You know, I will just go through whatever in my mind then."

"Excellent! Such kind of lecture will be enlightening. I will keep you informed once everything is ready." The manager said.

Then he turned around and waved his arm to the waitresses, "Deliver all the stuff into Mr. Maximilian's car now."

Maximilian and Victoria left hand in hand, reached the side of their car and opened the door.

The waitresses then quickly put those boxes filled with food into the back seat of the vehicle.

It would not be surprising if one was told it was the scene after a supermarket sales promotion.

After everything was finished, Maximilian and Victoria left Lasdun in their car, and the manager could finally stopped his smile after the tail light completely faded away.

He waved his hand to tell the waitresses to get back to their positions, and dialed Thomas's number when no one was around him, "Everything is done, Boss. Mr. Maximilian accepted our invitation. What's next?"

"Fine. There is nothing for you now, temporarily. Just go back and take good care of my business." Thomas replied on the other end of the line.

Thomas then hung up the phone. He turned his eyes on the man in black in front of him, who was sent here by the head of dragon lords, the one who chose not to keep silent any longer all of a sudden and perplexing changes on Dragon Sect and the complicated affairs between Regan and Maximilian.

The man who was chosen as the pawn of the Head of dragon lords was exactly Thomas.

From the moment when Maximilian was expelled from the Dragon Sect, the head of dragon lords had long been preparing for everything afterwards, and it was then he sent one of his best men Thomas to H city, waiting for his command.

And today was the time. "The job was done, sir." Thomas said.

The man in black nodded slightly and said, "Very well. Message from the Head of dragon lords has been clearly conveyed to you, and I think you are smart enough to figure out what's your next step."

Hearing that, Thomas bowed his head and smiled with a sense of bitterness. When he first knew from the man sent by the Head of dragon lords that Maximilian was the younger lord of Dragon Sect, he was shocked. But then a question came to him.

On the one side, it was Maximilian, and the other was the head of dragon lords.

Which side should he choose?

That was a question for Thomas!☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
