The Devil's Touch
#11
Milan came out of the room after looking at himself in front of the mirror, his wound on the forehead due to the impact of last night was dry even though it was a little imprinted.
Milan opened the room door a little and saw Maxime was crafting an animal assistant.
"Away awake?" ask Maxime.
Milan nibbled his lower lip slowly out of the room and approached Maxime, although a little hesitant but he needed the help of this man in front of him.
"I can --"
"Stay here if you want, but it's not free" Maxime cut off to make Milan's eyeballs sparkle instantly.
"really? can I stay here?"
Maxime cleared his throat in response. Milan bowed a few times as a sign of his gratitude.
"Thank you Mr. .. I'll work here and you won't have to pay me a wage."
"Eat," said Maxime.
The man walked up to the cashier's table and sat there, Maxime pointed at the seat in front with his chin, hinting Milan to sit down.
Because already hungry Milan finally obey. His eyes were round with his mouth half open when he saw the good food in front of him and it seemed like this was all expensive food.
Milan looked at Maxime, from where a small petshop owner like Maxime bought this delicious food, that was all Milan had in mind.
Maxime looked back at Milan. "Seeing I won't make your stomach full!"
"E-eh .. yes." Milan looked clumsy and his hands started outstretched picking up food at the table.
"Why do you dare to wear my shirt?" maxime asked and put spaghetti in his mouth.
"M-sorry .. I did not bring any clothes from home and yesterday my clothes were very dirty" said Milan.
"Oh .." That's the only answer from Maxime the man was back busy with his food.
After breakfast, they were busy with their duties. Maxime took down some bags of food and animal sand from the pick-up car, bringing it into the petshop.
"I ordered vitamins for cat fur, deliver them here tomorrow" Maxime said, taking some money from his wallet and giving it to the driver.
"That's all?" ask the driver.
"More than a hundred vitamins just ask the seller."
Maxime then went back into his petshop and smiled slanted when he saw Milan was cleaning Blacky and Blackbox's pup.
The girl is seen wagging her hands by occasionally covering her nose.
Maxime had no intention of helping, the man sitting on the chair opened his laptop on the table. A little boy came with a rabbit cage in his hand.
"Uncle .." said the boy running towards Maxime.
Maxime closed the laptop. "You're coming again."
The boy nodded.
"What's your name?" ask Maxime.
"Aron."
Maxime got up from his seat after smiling faintly at Aron, he took a bag of rabbit food and gave it to Aron.
"This, take it ..."
Aron smiled happily taking his rabbit food bag, Milan turned his head while stroking blacky near his cage.
"My father's uncle said the harvest later I will give carrots to you because uncle is kind," said Aron innocently.
Maxime just chuckled softly wringing Aron's hair in a daze.
"Alright, now feed your rabbit."
Aron nodded then left the petshop after waving at Maxime.
"He gave it away for free" murmured Milan.
"But it's expensive rabbit food, he has nothing to lose" Milan continued.
Maxime sat back in his chair and opened the laptop and said. "Not a loss divide your property a little for others."
In the afternoon Maxime just sat down while straightening his legs to the table, Maxime continued to pay attention to Milan who was busy with his own clean-up.
The girl tidied the vitamins in a neat display case, composing a neatly arranged bag of food as well. Maxime was astonished by the girl for what was back and forth tidying up something that was not messy.
While Milan felt uncomfortable because from earlier Maxime continued to pay attention to him, the eyes of the man's eagle continued to move following the movements of Milan. Milan kept pretending to be busy to take Maxime's eyes off but the man was endlessly staring at him.
A nervous Milan accidentally nudged the sandbag that was on top of the storefront until it broke and the sand spilled everywhere.
With a pounding heart he immediately took the plastic and hastily cleaned the sand. Slowly Milan tried to look back and it turns out Maxime was still watching himself in the cashier seat.
The girl sighed and put the sand back in her plastic.
After he finished approaching Maxime, the man immediately lowered his feet from the table when he saw Milan approaching him.
"Master .. eum ..."
With his arms crossed his chest Maxime raised one eyebrow asking Milan to continue his sentence.
"A-anu ... I accidentally broke the sandbag, do I have compensation?"
Maxime quickly nodded making Milan round their eyes.
The compensation with what, Milan just stay here for free, he also has no money.
"But Mr. .. I .. I don't have any money?"
"Then?" ask Maxime.
Milan scratched his temple that was not itchy at all, he thought hard how to replace the sandbag.
"What about my phone, sir?"
"No need" said Maxime.
Milan began to bend his face, he was confused how if Maxime threw him out where he would stay.
"Bite my head," said Maxime made Milan look surprised at him.
"Hurry up or I'll kick you out!"
"Yes Mr ..."
Milan standing behind Maxime began massaging his head incessantly making Maxime cluck.
"That's right!!" maxime.
"This is correct, sir." Milan massaged Maxime's forehead until his fingers covered the man's eyes.
Maxime snorted and moved out of his chair violently and turned to look at Milan. "You can massage my head or not!!"
"A-I .. I can't," said Milan to make Maxime sigh, why not say from earlier.

The night Maxime grasak-grusuk is not clear in his bed, every time he closed his eyes as if he saw Milan, why he had to think about the girl.
As if his heart was not calm when he let Milan sleep in the cashier seat, ah the girl's body would definitely be in pain when he woke up later. The petshop problem was that there was only one small room and one small bed as well.
Maxime snorted, he got out of his bed opened the door a little and peeked at Milan who was asleep while putting his face on the table.
Maxime breathed a look at that, why did he not have the heart. Milan's body will certainly be in pain when he wakes up because his sleeping position is wrong.
The man walked up to Milan and stood beside him.
"Wake up .." said Maxime.
"Hey wake up ..."
"Milan ..."
Maxime shakes Milan's shoulders hoping the girl wakes up but Milan still sleeps.
Finally Maxime tried to hold Milan's body slowly. A smile was drawn on Maxime's face when Milan was still asleep in his sling, how could this girl sleep like a fainting person.
Maxime took Milan to his room, he put the girl to bed. And it was him who ended up sleeping in the cashier's chair.
