The Devil's Touch
#61
What Maxime and Arsen say is true, Milan is a girl who is still wishy-washy. He wants to leave but sometimes still remembers Maxime's kindness.
It was in Milan's mind to try to escape again but again Maxime's kindness prevented Milan from doing so. And also, where he should stay if out of this petshop, Milan already did not want to meet with his family again, especially since living in petshop his family never sought Milan.
It's already one o'clock at night, Milan is still sitting in the kitchen with a glass of water in his hand, he is still thinking about Maxime's identity. About him who must arrive when to stay in this petshop.
"Why not sleep?" maxime approached Milan and stroked the girl's head and sat down next to Milan.
"Not yet drowsy" said Milan.
Actually tonight Maxime had to meet with Jack at school, his intention he would go after Milan sleep and would ask Keenan to keep Milan as long as he left.
But the girl still hasn't come into the room.
"No hunger?" asked Maxime who thought maybe Milan did not want to sleep because his stomach was rumbling.
"No" said Milan.
Suddenly he felt something jump at his feet, Milan screamed as he moved away from the table because he thought it was a rat.
Maxime looked down under the table and took a rabbit under the table.
"I'm sorry, this is a rabbit from Aron" Maxime said as he stroked the rabbit boy in his hand.
Milan sighed as he rubbed his chest, he was really phobic with rats.
Maxime smile. "Sit down." The man kept his rabbit on the table and kept petting it.
"Why did he give you his rabbit?" ask Milan.
"She had four bunnies, probably most of them" Maxime said.
"Ohhh ..." Milan nodded and stroked the rabbit.
"What's his name?" ask Milan.
"You can give him a name" said Maxime.
"Eummm ... How about, Bunny? Blacky, Blackbox and Bunny ..." Milan mentioned the name of the mother cat and her child in the kennel.
Maxime nodded. "Good."
Maxime's phone vibrates, he opens a message from Jack telling him to come to school quickly.
Maxime keeps his phone in his pocket after reading a message from Jack.
"Milan, I have to go for a minute. I'm gonna get Uncle Keenan here, okay?"
"No, I want to come" said Milan.
"But it's night" said Maxime.
"I want to buy a snack, where are you going?" ask Milan.
"I have to meet with Arsen, it's about my company." Maxime lied hoping Milan wouldn't come along.
"Then I go to the supermarket as long as you talk to Arsen."
"But---"

Because Milan forced them to leave Petshop, Maxime parked his car in front of a supermarket not far from the Milan school.
"Why this supermarket?it's close to my school" said Milan.
"This road is closer to my company" said Maxime.
"Ohhh ..."
"Buy whatever you want, I'll pick you up later," Maxime said in response to a nod from Milan.
Milan got out of the car and into the supermarket, there was actually a man sitting near the entrance. He's one of the Yakuza guys that Maxime told him to look after Milan as long as he talked to Jack.
Milan picked up the basket and began to pick up some snacks and drinks then walked into the ice cream freezer he was about to take a strawberry-flavored ice cream.
"Do you like ice cream, too?" ask a woman beside him.
Milan turned to the woman standing beside him. Beautiful and Elegant, that was all Milan saw from the woman beside him.
"I also like strawberry ice cream" she said. "But my twin is allergic to strawberries" he continued.
Milan raised one eyebrow as if wondering why this woman was suddenly so familiar with him.
"Oh." Milan answered briefly then walked back after taking the ice cream.
"Wait .." the woman held Milan's hand.
"Can you accompany me here? my brother's at school with his friends."
Milan wanted to refuse but he also had to wait for Maxime to pick him up, so yes he had chosen to talk to this so familiar woman.
They walked to a round table that was provided inside the supermarket. Then sit face to face and open their favorite ice cream.
"Oh yeah, what's your name?"
"Milan."
The woman nodded then scooped up the ice cream and ate it.
"You?" ask Milan.
"I'm Miw-beautiful, call me beautiful."
Milan knitted his eyebrows together, according to which his name was strange. "Beautiful?"
Miwa nodded. "Yes, pretty. Her name is cantika."
Miwa did not give her real name to cover up her true identity as the daughter of the De Willson family at the behest of her Father and Sister.
Actually Miwa's last name alone does not use the De Willson surname, so it's impossible for others to know.
But still sometimes he uses a pseudonym so that his identity is more secret.
