The Ancient Genes

Chapter 449: Fragrance Dining

"The food's good indeed…" Max muttered in surprise.

"Yeah….can't understand why they need this kind of gimmick when the food is good enough?" Wilson said as he looked at the two fellows who were enjoying food with a partner by their side.

Axel was laughing like a silly person, he couldn't get himself together under the hand of that mature lady….

Kevin on the other hand was melting in bliss as the lady by his side fed him. It seemed he was willing to die as of now...he had achieved Nirvana….

Max shook his head as he looked at them. He along with August and Wilson had quite tactfully made their dining partner withdraw.

On the other hand, those two were completely subdued under their charm.

"Didn't he have a girlfriend?" Wilson muttered as he looked at Axel.

"Yeah…but it isn't that serious it seems..." Max awkwardly replied.

"You are paying Axel's bill, right?" August asked as he looked at Max

"Yeah..why do you ask?" Max asked.

August pointed towards Axel only to see an expensive bottle of wine being served to him by the girl by his side and there was another empty bottle beside.

"They aren't here to just accompany us but raise our bill as well…." Wilson muttered with a smile as he looked at Max.

"Axel, I think it's enough for today...you better eat what you have on the table…" Max glared at him but Axel just smiled. His face was a bit red….

He was drunk!

"Miss, please don't serve him anything else...I don't think he can eat anymore…." Max said with a smile toward the lady.

The lady looked at Max and smiled awkwardly. She was a bit upset, but she couldn't go against the customer….it was a pity that the other people noticed.

"Ah! Sir...you can't do this…" the lady suddenly released a squeak as Axel grabbed her. She gave him am embarrassed look but didn't push him away.

"You.. Mio-chan...I love you Mio-chan~" Axel said with a stupid grin on his face. His words weren't coming out properly...his face was flushed.

Max, Wilson, August exchanged a look, there were black lines on their faces.

Kevin was still good in comparison to Axel. Even if he was drunk, his main attention was still on the food.

"Shouldn't we stop?" Max looked at the two of them.

"Is he really drunk?" August asked as he looked at Axel doubtfully.

"Does he really want us to stop him? He might even be unhappy if you stop him…" Wilson replied.

"I can't watch this anymore…" Max shook his head and stood up and walked up to them with a forced smile.

The lady frowned a bit as Max once again interfered.

"Axel, leave her….we are going back…" Max said as he caught his arm.

"Leave me...I want to be with her….Mio-chan~" Axel shook off Max's hand.

"Bro! You have a girlfriend…." Max whispered to him.

"Mio-chan is my only one….I don't care about anyone else!!" Axel shouted in a loud voice.

Max's face turned ugly. He was feeling embarrassed by the lady's gaze. It was as if he was being a third wheel.....the unwanted person....Just what was he doing here!!!!

Max took a deep breath and looked at the lady with a smile, "I am sorry, miss. But my friend is having some misunderstanding….he isn't really interested in you..."

"Sir, I think it's you having a misunderstanding…." The lady said as she flashed her ID in front of Max.

Her name was….Mio….

'F*CK!!!'

"Am I having a misunderstanding, sir…you are interested in Mio, right?" the lady asked as she looked at Axel.

"Yes, you are the best...Mio-chan~" Axel said as he put both of his arms around her.

The lady then looked at Max with a smile as if asking,? 'what now?'

"Pfft!"

Max immediately glared at the duo who were laughing at him in the corner.

He then went back to his seat.

"What now?" Wilson asked with a smile.

"Let him do what he wants...it's not like I am his relationship advisor...if he can't even keep himself in control it's his fault. He would do the same without us. It will be a good lesson for him…" Max shook his head.

"I said it in the first place...leave him alone...you really didn't need to lose your face like that…." August said with a laugh.

"F*ck you two…" Max got up and walked out of the room for a fresh breath as the two were still laughing at him.

A minute later....

"Your phone is ringing…" August said as he looked at Wilson.

"It's not mine...." Wilson replied.

It was probably Max's phone, since he was the one sitting on that spot.

August took the phone and saw the call was coming from someone named, 'Young Miss'

He picked it up…

"Hello.."

"I am Max's friend...he just went out a second ago…"

"We are out here to eat…no we kind of ended up here because of a friend...it's called Fragrance Dining…"

"Yup...I will inform him…"

August put the phone back.

"Girlfriend or Boss?" Wilson looked at him. After all, only these two people ask so many questions.

"Most likely, the boss…..who saves their girlfriend's name as Young Miss?'' August shook his head.

The duo had no idea that the person wasn't his girlfriend but fiance….and yes he did save it as Young Miss...

….

Lorenz Mansion, Capital…

A few minutes earlier….

Sirius and the Lorenz Lord sat there sipping tea.

Lorenz Lord had come here to have a few words with Max. Until now he still hadn't found a chance to have a man-to-man talk with Max.

Unfortunately, Max still wasn't here…

"You are here, Elly…" Lorenz Lord smiled as Elly walked in. But Elly just calmly bowed in respect.

Lorenz Lord inwardly sighed.

"Is everything fine, Elly?" He asked.

Elly nodded.

"Has Max returned yet?" He asked, looking at her.

"No...he hasn't returned yet...I will give him a call…"

Elly left the room and returned a second.

"It seems he is out with friends having dinner at Fragrance Dining…." She gave out the full details she had received on the call.

"Pfft!"

Sirius and Lorenz Lord immediately sprayed out tea and then looked at each other. They knew what kind of place it was...

"Grandfather, are you alright?" Elly pulled out a tissue and passed it to him.

"I-I am fine…" the old man replied before looking at Elly, "Did he say he went to that place?"

"No...it was his friend who answered. They went to the place on someone's suggestion…it seemed...." Elly replied.

"I see…" the old man muttered.

"I will go and get him, if it's important..." Elly said as she looked at her grandfather.

"Ok...go and bring him…" The old man nodded.

Elly nodded and then left.

"Was it the right thing to do?" Sirius asked as he looked at him.

"It's between them….let them sort it out…" the old man said calmly.

"Should I report to Madam that you too went to that place that too as a VIP on Lord Blackwood's invitation…" Sirius asked with a smile.

Loren Lord looked at Siirus with a dark face, "We have to fill in the formalities, I can't just reject him…."

"I will say it to her...that it was formality…" Sirius replied.

"Did you forget I am the Lord, Sirius?" The old man replied.

"I thought you asked me to treat you as a friend…." Sirius smiled wryly as he ooked at him playing the Lord card.

"I am getting old...I surely can't remember it...did I say something like that?" The old man asked with a smile.
