“Um? I'm not thinking of anything” Zevana said in a whisper, she couldn't possibly say that she had just thought of the man.
Maxime smile tilted “Is that so?”
“Y-ya”
“Then tell me what you thought of me earlier” said Maxime grinning.
When Zevana was stunned she had no idea what the man had said since because he was too busy with his thoughts, she became a club that did not know what to say.
Little laughter faintly rang out, yes it was Maxime who laughed at him “You are so funny, are you thinking of me?” goda.
“M-think you? U-what am I thinking about the person who is clearly next to me” elak Zevana does not want to catch wet is thinking about his superior.
“Actually what are we doing here?” asked Zevana randomly trying to divert the conversation.
“You really asked because you didn't know?” asked Maxime who got the nod from Zevana.
Maxime pointed Zevana's body at the stage and began to whisper from behind his body while pointing at the stage “After the man it was my turn to stand there and your task was only to keep your previous promise” explained Maxime.
Zevana did not understand at all what it had to do with Maxime going up on the stage, somehow it made him a little afraid that his boss was saying something unreasonable especially about their previous promise Whatever Maxime said he had to agree to.
“I will make an announcement up there so keep your promise to agree to all my words and do not dispute it because this is my last order for today” explained Maxime again.
“That sounds terrible, you scared me”
“No dear, don't be afraid. You'll be fine” Maxime assured Zevana
Soon the man up there ended his chatter and now Maxime behind him turned Zevana's body to face him while holding both Zevana's shoulders.
“You just need to keep your promise and trust me, okay?” he said as he blinked his eyes before stepping off onto the stage.
Honestly, Zevana was a little afraid to think about what the man was going to say up there because from their agreement he participated quite important in the announcement because he had to approve it, but he was also a little confused because Maxime asked him not to be afraid because he would be fine with the meaning of the announcement would not harm him or humiliate him.
“Goodnight everyone, I hope you all are in good shape and enjoy the party comfortably. Um, I don't intend to take your time for long but I have an important announcement to say” Maxime said.
Some people whispered and others focused on Maxime, who was up there, including Zevana, who was staring at him agitatedly.
“I'll marry”
The deg! Maxime's words successfully make the guests there excited and wonder who will marry a Maxime Abiezer. Unlike the other guests, Zevana was silent and her heart ached a little and wondered why Maxime bothered to bring her here.
“What is that woman that she knows? Why bring me here as his partner, is this how to humiliate me? Does he just want to introduce me to his future wife?” ask Zevana in the heart whose every question makes her heart feel very sore.
“And the lucky woman who won my heart was the beautiful woman in the red dress back there” Maxime pointed at Zevana with a sweet smile.
Zevana looked to her left-right to ascertain who the woman Maxime was referring to was but at once she became embarrassed and lowered her head because the guest's gaze there was directed at her.
Is this just a charade? Is it possible that among these guests there is something he does not like because he asks him to agree to all his words? What does this mean by that promise.
Zevana raised her head slowly and there were still many eyes staring at her and she could only smile as if all of Maxime's words were true, Maxime slowly stepped down from the stage and walked towards him.
Butwhy??? They don't even get along. Why is Maxime recklessly announcing things that aren't even true? And for Zevana behind that awkward smile, her head felt like it was breaking thinking about the answers to all the questions that filled her mind.
Now Maxime was in front of him and immediately the man's hand was back on his waist and took him to step out of the room. Many eyes were looking now they were really the center of attention even though he had to get an explanation of this situation.
“A-what exactly are you doing?” zevana asked whispered in disbelief as she looked up at Maxime
“Relax I will explain it later, facing forward” Maxime command
Zevana doesn't obey him “No, we have to talk. You asked me to agree to all this nonsense, are you crazy?” snarled with whispering.
Maxime gripped tightly on Zevana's waist and whispered “Stay facing forward!”
Maxime took him to a beautiful garden that was also in the area of the mansion, ah forget about the beautiful garden because now he was really angry.
“Actually what are you saying? Why should I, we're not even that close to getting married. What game are you playing?!” ask Zevana not to stop raiding.
Zevana didn't even give a pause for Maxime to speak because now he again asked “Why didn't tell me earlier? Are you intentionally doing all this because that's also you're asking me to promise to approve all your sayings?” the upset.
Maxime just stood still as he stared at Zevana with his flat face as the woman bombarded him with questions.
“Why didn't you answer? Is there no reason for you to say that shit? You pranking me?!” ask Zevana again excited.
Maxime remained silent. The man's silence leads Zevana to conclude that it is true that Maxime only wants to prank and humiliate him. Honestly he wanted to cry at this moment because his heart was much more painful than before, his hand by itself moved banging on the chest of the man before him.
"How can you do this! Did I make a big mistake until you treated me like this? Is it my fault why you're doing all this?".
Zevana continues banging her hand against Maxime's chest, hitting the man with all her might, venting her anger hoping it hurts her and realizing what she just did but Maxime remains unaffected.
When almost sobbing his hand was held by Maxime and pulled to get closer to him, very close, even if he puts his face forward, he can kiss the man, but he doesn't want to do that because now he looks sad and this man in front of him looks disgusting.
“We will talk about all this in my penthouse after the party is over so be patient when that time comes. So until then play the role of the lucky woman with totality because this is also part of my command” said Maxime.
That sounds so cruel that not only does his flat face make Zevana's heart hurt so much “Why are you so sure that I'll obey all your words? What if I disagree and don't want to do it and tell everyone the truth?” zevana asked again in formal speech.
Maxime smiled obliquely “Because you promised before and I don't think you're the type of woman who likes to renege on the promise”
“Forget that we will discuss later, we have too long left the party. Come back!”
