"What are you doing here?!"

"Help you? what kind of help do you need?"

"Just help me pass through this. Help me to convince my mom to not match make me to any man for now."

"That's easy. I'm sure when your mom land her eyes on me, she will just fall in love with me." He smirk. Ugh.. Arrogant bastard.

"You're so full of yourself." I rolled me eyes.

"I am full of myself." He said confidently and walk towards me. Oh no! Not again!

He pushed me against the wall.

"Maxim." I warned him.

"Eleanora." He mocked me.

"Let m--"

"Ehm!" someone cleared their throat, I looked at where that sound comes.

"Mom.." I pushed Maxim away and blushed.

"What are you doing here mom?"

She stared at Maxim and then looked at me. "I've told you there's someone I want you to meet El. But, now it seems you've got some explaining to do."

She doesn't look angry at all, my mom looked rather happy. Typical mother.

I don't even want to know what she's thinking really.

"Erm.. Mom, this is Mr. Daxton." I said, gesturing awkwardly to the tall dude besides me.

Maxim smiles politely and walk to my mother.

"Mrs. Washingtons it's a pleasure to meet you." Maxim says as he stretch his hand for a shake.

"You're the Maxim Daxton? As in Hugo and Rosclere Daxton's son?" My mom's eyes widen.

What? How does she know Maxim's parents?

"Mom, how--"

"Yes ma'am. I'm their son." Maxim cut me off.

"Hon, how do you know him?" My mom asked me.

"He's my boss."

"You're Eleanora's boss? Must be hard to have an employe like her." My mom said, teasing me. I pout.

"Geez. Thanks mom!" I rolled my eyes.

"Well, she keeps distracting me." He winked.

Please don't say that he will tell mom that I went to office wearing a pair of slippers. I'll never hear the end of it if Evan hears it too.

Mom never knows how to keep her mouth shut if it's about me.

"Is that how you become his girlfriend, dear?" she teases me more.

Unfortunately, Maxim here answers it before I do.

"You have no idea how charming your daughter is Mrs. Whasingtons. In fact, my parents think so too." Maxim casually puts a hand around my shoulder and pulled me closer to him.

I blushed when I feel the close contact, no matter how many times he did that. I don't think I'll get used to it.

I glared at Maxim.

"Uh.. Mrs. Washingtons, do you want to continue this on my office? I think Els here have some work to do."

Maxim and my mom walked out of my office to Maxim's office. I saw they were talking but I couldn't hear clearly what they were talking about.

I shrugged and continue my work.

I have finished all of my work. It's still three in the afternoon. Ugh.
