"I accidentally grabbed the hot teapot while brewing tea this afternoon. Just a minor burn."
Only Max and Falcon knew that the wound on his hand was no ordinary burn.
"Then why did you bandage it like you had a grave burn?"
Max casually looked at his neatly bandaged hands with a look of astonishment on his face.
"I'm as confused as you are. I think it's the first time my assistant has bandaged, so she's over-doing it," he said so casually that anyone who heard him would believe his lies.
"You scared me. I thought you were seriously injured. Are you really okay?"
"Hmm. I'm fine. Like I said, just a small burn." Max sighed in relief to see Chleo no longer asking questions.
"Ehem… dear Chleo, can you explain to me why you look so worried as if he is your lover?"
