THE EXOTIC DANCER CHAPTER 014✔ "Trust"
Max has been on edge sine Taehyung left and he won't talk to me and explain what secrets Taehyung and his father could possibly be keeping for him. Or which ones he's keeping for them. And at the end of the day i truthfully have no ground to stand on when i ask him. No right to ask him these things about his life other than the fact that im worried about him.
He's a charismatic guy who drives a nice car and lives in a nice place. A guy who knows almost everyone around here and what they are into. Max keeps a lot of secrets and has the means and capabilities to be getting into some pretty bad things.
People around here know and respect him and he's a smart businessman. Running this place and what goes on upstairs is the worst i want it to get for him. He doesn't need to push it any further.
I always thought he just chose not to do jobs like that, but what if he has been doing it this entire time and i just didn't know.
"Max i know its not my place but im worried about you."
He looks up from his place leaning against the desk. "You're right, its not your place."
My heart sinks a little bit, deep down i had hoped that he would open up to me about it but i guess that's a bit too much to ask. And i have no right to force him to do so. I nod and walk towards the door, taking the doorknob in my hands to head out. "Just remember this, you know everything about me. Every little detail of my life i have trusted you with and you always said you did the same."
I walk out of the room to leave him with his thoughts. Stephanie still passed out on the floor. He had said he would take her home himself. I have no car which means i have no means to get her home. Despite everything that just went down between me and Max i am thankful that he can do this one task tonight.
I still have a full night of work ahead of me and all i want to do is get out of here and go home.
Do you ever feel like the stress from your life is slowly breaking you down piece by piece?
I know i should leave this be and that i have enough on my plate right now. I know i shouldn't worry about whether or not Max is in trouble, in the end im probably just overreacting. But i can't help but worry. I love him.
He has always taken care of me and then expects me to just let his problems go. He always says he a deal with it all himself but i think his temper and his drinking problem really inhibit him from ever completely solving a lot of his own problems. And even without those things.... Sometimes people just need help. At some point, you have to let pride go and be brave enough to ask for it.
