The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapters 271. Do you know about Laura?
Adelia walked through the hallway of her house. He slowly saw the situation. He soon walks faster when he sees Max still waiting for Antony to get ready to go to his office.
"Max," said Adelia with her charismatic voice.
Max who was on standby immediately looked towards Adelia. "Good morning, Madam. You're still in her room" said Max, who usually feels Adelia is always asking for Antony's whereabouts.
Adelia did not answer Max's words. Max looked at Adelia who looked hesitant just frowning her forehead. What happened to the first lady?
“Max, can I talk to you for a minute?” ask Adelia.
Max further knitted his brows. Of course he couldn't say no to Madam. With a slow nod, she replied, “Sure Mistress.”
Max walked behind Adelia. They're not far from Antony's room. Of course Max does not want his Master to look for him and also does not want to cause slander if he looks alone with his Nyonya. It would look unethical.
“Max, do you know about Laura's whereabouts?” ask Adelia directly. He had no time to mince words. He knew Antony would be out of his place soon.
Adelia knows too. Max is the bodyguard and also the most loyal assistant to Antony. Antony will involve this man in all things. And Adelia knew that Laura must have been with Antony. But where the woman is, Adelia doesn't know. How is their relationship now, are they really in love with each other? Adelia was also blind about it. If he can't get it from Antony. He was sure he could get this from Adelia.
Max was a little surprised. But he tried his best not to show the look of his shocked face to Adelia. He did not expect that this lady would ask him about the woman. Max knew, Adelia must have wanted to extract information from him.
“Sorry Miss, but I don't know about it,” Max said without hesitation. He knew this woman was not an ordinary woman. If he tells Laura whereabouts. That woman must have been done. No, not because Max wants to take care of Laura. He also did not like the woman. But, if his mistress finds out. He could have revealed it all and Antony's position would be threatened. He would do anything to keep his master.
“Really?” ask Adelia again.
Max nodded steadily. “Master will be out in a moment. Madam, I have to come back soon.” Max felt that this conversation did not need to continue. The longer they talk, the worse they can be.
“You know. I didn't mean anything. Antony is my husband. I'm backing him to be president, you know that's not it?” adelia again stopped Max's intention to leave. “But, instead of overnight events are very risky. Antony – although did not say it directly. But I know he went to that woman's place. I just don't want Antony to get hit by the scandal that dropped his name. Don't you know that? Laura's presence will be dangerous for Antony, instead you always say that Antony's safety is the number one?” adelia's insistence on Max.
He doesn't know anymore. He had to make this man turn his back to help him. That way he can eradicate the intruders of his household quickly. He can drag Laura away from Antony's life again.
Max listens to Adelia's words. Of course it's all true. She also realizes that Laura is the biggest threat in Antony's life right now. But this woman he could not believe. If he could think of finding information and try to manipulate himself. Then he also had to be careful with this first lady.
“I'm sorry Mistress. But I really don't know where Miss Laura is. Mr. Antony only calls me when he needs an escort from me now. Besides, he ordered someone else. Yesterday, I was able to bring Mr. Antony home because Mr. Antony is in his office.”
Adelia bit her lip. It's not that easy to manipulate Max. How'this? Where else would she have to find a way to find Laura. Suddenly his brain was running. Yep! He could ask the woman for help again.
“Max!” antony's voice echoes, looking for his trust bodyguard.
“Mistress, I go first,” Max said. I don't wait for an answer because he has to leave now.
Antony who saw Max coming out from one corner of the room immediately frowned. But he said nothing. She believed this man very much and walked out of the room immediately.
