Valerie was speechless. How did he get this?
This wrapper that once contained the sweet he gave her. How...?
That was when she remembered that her secret compartment also had her heart's secret. She clenched it and raised her head to look him in the eyes.
This was it. This was the chance she needed to explain to him all the misunderstandings. She could as well tell him her true feelings as well.
"I..."
Just then, the door to the waiting room opened and Max blocked her from them, taking the mask and covering her mouth with it.
"We'll do this later." He said and she pursed her lips, lowering her head in disappointment. But then, she realized something.
"Wait, didn't you say you locked the door?" She asked but he gave a sly smirk and wore her her shades.
"You're the one who gullibly believed me." He said and laughed.
