RAINBOWALL - [MAXNAT] FANFIC

CHAPTER 50 - FIND HIM 😾!

FYI - Start from now on, I will not use any of MAXNAT photo for this Fanfic because it's hard to find a photo suit the situation.

*************************************************

Nath: I need to find Max—now. “His voice was edged with urgency, and his eyes locked onto Leo’s”

Leo: Max ? Are we talking about the same Mr. Max 🤨 ? “Leo frowned in confusion, raising an eyebrow”

Nath: Yes ! Max. I need to find him. It’s important.

Nath nodded quickly, his expression unwavering. His tone was firm, and Leo could feel the pressure behind his words.

Leo: Why ? What’s going on with him 😕 ? “Still puzzled, Leo asked, his brow furrowed”

Nath: Don’t ask so many questions. Just find him and bring him to me. I need to talk to him, Leo. Now—or I’ll do it myself 😾.

Impatience flashed across Nath’s face as he stepped closer. His voice became more forceful, making it clear there was no room for argument.

Leo: No, no, no. Mr. Natha, please stay here—don’t go anywhere. I’ll go find Mr. Max.

Leo responded quickly, not wanting to upset his Mr. Natha.

After ten long minutes, Leo returned—his face downcast and alone. He bowed his head in regret, unable to fulfill his task.

Leo: Mr. Natha, I’m so sorry. I couldn’t find him. Maybe Mr. Max has already gone home 😶.

Nath: What? Nooooo. I had something important to ask him. Why did he leave already ? Did he really come here just for the perfumes he wanted? What about the perfumes in the box I specially prepared for him 😞 ?

Nath’s eyes widened in disbelief. His gaze fell on the orange box he had filled with carefully selected perfumes, and his frustration deepened as he looked at the untouched gift.

Leo: So... the few perfumes in that orange box you told me to keep... they’re for Mr. Max 👀 ?

Leo’s mind raced as he put the pieces together. A light of realization flickered in his eyes, and a nagging suspicion he’d had from the beginning began to make sense. Something hadn’t felt right when Nath asked him to keep those perfumes—and now, he had his answer.

Nath stared at Leo 😒, the silence heavy in the air. Leo instinctively bowed his head 😞, sensing the shift in the atmosphere. Nath, lost in thought 🗨, finally broke the silence with an unexpected request. Leo braced himself, knowing whatever Nath was about to say was bound to be another twist he wouldn’t see coming.

Nath: Leo... tell my father that I want to take a rest—maybe for about two weeks. If possible, try to make it one month. And this is a MUST 😾 ! “Nath's words hit Leo like a shockwave”

Leo: Hah 😫 ? But... I already told him that Mr. Natha needs to attend a big meeting tomorrow regarding this event.

Leo stammered, trying to make sense of the sudden change. Nothing was more unpredictable than Nath’s whims, and once again, his Mr. Natha had completely flipped the script.

Nath: Guess everything’s selling really well. Doesn’t that old man love triple or even quadruple digits ? If he ever starts to complain about me taking a break, tell him how well the business is doing. And if he wants those kinds of numbers again, then he better not start nagging !

Nath let out a soft sigh, his gaze lingering on the bustling pop-up store. His tired eyes reflected the vibrant activity, but failed to mirror its energy. The constant movement—the laughter and chatter of customers—felt like a distant hum to him now.
