"Monica..." Max called out in a surprised tone he never expected Monica to show up so early.
"Hey.." Monica called out as she advanced towards the bed.
"I...um..." Max tried to get out of bed but Monica rushed towards his side to support him.
"Be careful..." Monica handed him a glass of water when he was positioned.
"How are you feeling?" Monica asked after he has drank the water.
"I'm fine...How's your head injury??" Max asked as he pulled Monica towards him to inspect her injury.
Monica was placed in a awkward position as her head was under his chin while her body by the side of the bed.
She felt her face was heating up so she immediately pulled back " I'm fine..." she replied. Max suddenly realised what happened so he cleared his throat in an awkward way.
Monica finally got to examine the room and was left in awe. The room was as wide as their sitting room and was perfect in every aspect.
It was decorated with a few football trophies and posters from when he was small to his current achievement in football.
It was well equipped with a few furnitures and painting and a quarter of the room contained a few video games.
His room was spacious and simple but also elegant at the same time. Monica then stopped admiring the room and turned to see Max staring at her.
"Can you put me through todays work at school...you know I wasn't in school so..." Max asked as he looked at Monica pitifully.
"Nope...my mom always let me rest when I'm sick so you wouldn't do anything till you are fine alright..." Monica said while staring at Max.
"Fine..." Max sighed in defeat. "So have you thought of what we are going to do for our project " Max asked Monica while he stood up and walked to the floor to ceiling window.
"Hmm...I don't know yet, I guess it will have to wait till you are okay"
"So will you be in school tomorrow?" Monica questioned.
"Yes...yes I'll come, I can't afford to be absent for too long" Max replied with a face full of life unlike his pale and haggard face early that day.
Knock knock
"Come in" Max replied as he returned to the coach.
"Second master" the butler greeted with respect. Such a young teen was able to be acknowledged with respect from an elder.
"The madam sent you guys some snacks" he said before setting the snacks on the table. "The madam also told me to remind you not to skip your drugs and have some rest" he added before he stepped out.
"Max...I hope you don't skip your drugs...it isn't good for your health so take it okay..." Monica said before digging into the delicious snacks.
"Yes I won't miss it" Max replied before taking his drugs like an obedient kid in front of Monica
The butler who just left the room was shocked as he heard Max obey Monica like an obedient kid.
'The young master did not throw the drugs away like he used to...he even took it within three seconds...the madam must hear this' the butler said as he hurried downstairs.
Meanwhile Mrs Martha who was working in her office was interrupted with a phone call.
"Madam...there is a phone call for you...he says he's Mr Maxwell..." the receptionist who was reporting was cut off by Mrs Martha's cold voice.
"Tell him I'm busy...I don't have time for thrash"
"But madam he said..." the receptionist who was about to continue was cut off by the dial tone signifying the end of the call.
"Mr Maxwell...um the madam isn't free and can't take your call at the moment" the receptionist replied to the man who has been placed on hold.
"She will eventually see me no matter what" the man at the other end replied with a chuckle as he hung up.
This man was no other person than Mrs Martha's divorced husband, Mr Maxwell. He was currently sitting in a huge and well decorated living room with a wine class in his hand.
"Bro...you got to let go of that woman...although she's very pretty you can't lower yourself to a mere woman like herself she doesn't deserve it" the man sitting opposite him replied.
"Control yourself Mike...it wasn't easy to get to where you are today so don't make Lucy find out about this woman" a younger man who was also in the sofa replied.
"I know guys...I won't waste this opportunity...I just need her to suffer for the humiliation she caused me. Lucy won't find out that I'm still in touch with her, right? Mr Maxwell asked as he stared at both men with a warning in his gaze.
"Right...right...you just have to be careful Mike, we will help you get your revenge no matter the cause" the old man present replied.
