After Max left the lab, he went to run a few errands; he was planning to open a branch of his restaurant in Beijing and had just purchased a place, so he was trying to get some documents sorted for it. Afterwards, he ate some lunch, and then went to Halia's apartment to feed her dog.
However, when he reached Halia's floor of her apartment block, he noticed Cleo talking to a man in the corridor. The man was tall, refined and classy, like a gentleman. Max watched as the man bent down and patted Maximus naturally. Maximus quickly jumped up and licked the man on the face and Cleo giggled.
From a distance, these two looked like the perfect couple. Cleo was pretty and this man was handsome. Max subconsciously glanced down at his body. He'd have to lose at least 10kgs to look anywhere near as good as that man.
Thus, he felt a bit self conscious as he approached the two good looking people.
"Oh, hi Max, we've been waiting for you!" Cleo cheered.
