"Maxen."
Maxen stopped by the lobby, turning to the entrance of the manor where Conrad was entering. He had never seen Conrad do any workout routine despite having a good body build, so seeing him in his gym attire was quite new for Maxen.
"Yes?" Maxen faced Conrad when the latter stopped several steps from him, handing the duffel bag to the servant.
"Are you going to sleep?" Conrad asked, making Maxen raise his brows.
"No, sir."
"I see. Then can you accompany me to my tonight's arrangement?"
Maxen's brows furrowed, rocking his head. "If you need me… then I can."
"Good. Meet me here in thirty minutes." Conrad walked up to him and planted a hand on his shoulder, squeezing it mildly before tapping it. "I'll be back."
