The Devil's Touch
#144
"When there was a meeting between company officials even though we were not invited, Maxi always introduced us to his colleagues. She always said she had two younger sisters, one a designer wedding dress and the other a painter. He was very proud to introduce us ..."
"Milan you're her lover, you're not only introduced to her friends, but you'll definitely be invited to come if there's another meeting. How do you think Maxi introduced you to his friends? to Maxi's friend who has a lover of a model, flight attendant, famous singer, artist, doctor. Kak Maxi's friends definitely introduce her lover with the talent they have. I just want you to look for your talent so as not to embarrass Maxi in front of her friends ..." Tessa smiled and patted Milan on the shoulder.
"Married later wear a wedding dress designed by Miwa .." continued Tessa then left Milan who sculpt themselves on the seat.
Milan sighed after Tessa's departure, kneading her temples.
"Tessa what are you talking to Milan about?" asked Miwa by holding the watch.
"I didn't say anything" Tessa said.
"Stop talking sucks Tessa!"
"Loh, I'm just saying he must have talent so as not to embarrass Kak Maxi .. is that wrong?"
"Wrong, your mother and my mother were also just cafe waiters, but our daddy didn't bother about it. Maxi's sister won't be taking issue with Milan, who is just a school girl, either" upset Miwa.
"You're a bitch, why keep defending him?"
Miwa sighed harshly. "Tessa do you still like Maxi's sister?"
"No!" sahut Tessa fast. "I don't like it anymore, I've let go of Maxi with Milan. Even if they want to get married tomorrow, I don't care. Please get married ..." Tessa shrugged her shoulders and went to the cashier to pay for the watch she had chosen.
Miwa could only shake with Tessa's words.

They returned to the mansion at about eleven p.m., they spent more time in the mall. Shop for clothes, bags, watches, jewelry and Tessa buys painting tools.
Milan just behind. Not intending to buy anything, he is embarrassed if he has to use Maxime's money in front of Tessa.
Maxime came down the stairs to welcome Milan home with a smile. Tessa walked faster toward Maxime.
"Sir Maxi ..."
Miwa and Milan stop their steps to see Tessa approaching Maxime.
"This is me buying a watch ..." Tessa gives a brown bag in her hand.
With hesitation Maxime took the brown bag. "Tessa, you shouldn't have to buy this sister ..."
Tessa smiles. "Birdays gift ..."
"Huh? a birthday present?" ask Miwa.
Tessa looked back and nodded.
"My birthday and Maxi's sister's two weeks away from Tessa, why are you buying her a present now ..."
"Why indeed? I want to be the first one to give you a gift ..."
Tessa clucked. "I'll give you a present later. It is ..."
Tessa walks up the stairs, followed by Miwa who looks furious. Maxime looked at Milan, and vice versa with the girl. Then Milan lowered his head while rubbing his nose.
Maxime walked over. "You okay?" ask her.
Milan looked up then nodded slowly. "Yes, I'm fine ..."
Maxime smiled faintly, clasping Milan's hand leading him into the room. In the room Maxime kept the gift from Tessa at the table while Milan sat on the side of the bed.
"I'm glad I've prepared warm water for you ..." Maxime stroked Milan's head. "Wanna take a shower now?"
Milan nodded faintly moving from his seat then into the bathroom made Maxime sculpt astonished with Milan's attitude.

A few minutes later Milan came out of the bathroom with a bathrobe attached to his body. Maxime who was sitting on the sofa went to Milan who was sitting at the dresser.
"No need Maxime, I can do it myself" Milan said, forbidding Maxime from helping her dry her hair.
Maxime holds both shoulders of Milan. "What's hm?"
Milan shook his head with a hand rubbing his hair using a towel. "You haven't slept, it's night ..."
"I'm waiting for you to come home ..."
For a few minutes of silence, Milan focused on drying his hair and Maxime just silently looked at Milan in the mirror.
After Milan finished getting into his bed, sleeping on his back to Maxime. Maxime let out a rough sigh, curled up behind Milan and pulled the girl's waist.
"Dear you why? is there a problem with Tessa or Miwa?"
Milan shook his head in response and then closed his eyes to sleep.
Maxime picks up the phone at the table sending a message to Arsen to find out where Tessa, Miwa and Milan are going while having Arsen take the cctv at every place they go.
Before returning to save his phone there was an incoming message from Peter.
Maxime do you know who Recobra is?
Maxime replied.
They're mafia in XX State. Wh why?
Peter returned to reply.
Felix was good friends with them. I just found a photo of Felix with a guy who has a snake tattoo on his wrist. And it says Recobra under that tattoo ...
