Chapter 15 Flipped
The window of the room suddenly broke. Then the cold air poured in and the rain
wet the floor.
Maxwell blocked the curtain in the tuyere, but it didn’t seem to work. Other rooms in the hostel were also damaged to varying degrees, and it was getting worse.
Maxwell cradled Camila in a corner of the bed and covered themselves with a thick quilt. They could merely manage to hold on like that.
In the dark, Camila leaned on Maxwell’s shoulder. And just when she was about to fall asleep, she heard Maxwell ask her something softly.
“You can fall asleep now?”
“Yes, almost. How about you?”
Maxwell swallowed and said, “Me too.”
Noticing Maxwell’s breath was getting heavier, Camila thought he had caught a cold and pulled the quilt up a little.
“No need. I feel a little hot.” Maxwell’s voice turned hoarse, and it was obvious he was trying hard to restrain himself.
Camila thought, “It’s so cold inside, how could Maxwell feel hot?”
Camila touched Maxwell’s forehead and found he didn’t have a fever.
Maxwell grabbed Camila’s hand and tucked it into the quilt.
“Don’t move. Or I might lose control.”
Camila instantly got it. It was a good thing the room was dark and neither of them could see the other’s face, otherwise, it was really embarrassing.
However, after hearing what Maxwell said, Camila tensed up and didn’t know what to do.
“I told you not to move. Are you trying to seduce me?” Maxwell had always prided

himself on his self–control, but it was put to the test tonight.

In the end, Camila forced herself to eliminate all distractions and fell asleep first.
It was the wee hours of the morning, and Maxwell was so sleepy that he finally fell asleep.
Early in the next morning, Camila woke up and found Maxwell still asleep.
The storm that had been on all night finally stopped.
The morning sun came in, and the fine sunlight sprinkled on Maxwell’s handsome face, which made his original bold outline soften a lot.
Gradually, Maxwell seemed to feel the gaze, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Maxwell saw a lovely, sleepy face.
“Morning…”
Before Camila finished her words, she was pressed back into the quilt by Maxwell.
The two looked at each other in their eyes, and everything seemed to stand still, except for the sound of the disordered breathing of the two.
Camila’s mind went blank, only seeing Maxwell in front of her.
The only thing Camila could see was Maxwell’s handsome face.
An ambiguous atmosphere was flowing between the two of them.
The morning breeze blew in through the hole, lifting Camila’s soft hair and gently weeping Maxwell’s stubbly chin with the hair.
Such titillating made the two of them more restless.
Camila felt her lips dry and could not help but stretch out the tip of her tongue and
ick them.
“he originally pale lips immediately appear glossy and pink, translucent with luster. “hey now looked like dewy petals, making people want to kiss them.
Maxwell’s breathing became noticeably faster.
Camila felt more nervous than ever before. She watched with wide eyes as Maxwell

approached slowly.

Maxwell’s tall figure blocked out the sunlight, shrouding Camila in the shadow beneath him.
The lips of the two grew closer and closer. It was so close that Camila felt Maxwell’s handsome face began to blur.
Camila’s heart beat faster and faster.
Camila felt the air was getting thinner.
Camila all tensed up.
“Ms. Lambert, how is the cake?” A sudden knock at the door interrupted both the
two.
Camila quickly took the quilt to cover her blushed face while Maxwell immediately sat up, arranging his clothes to hide the embarrassment.
The landlord’s daughter saw through the broken window that Camila had not gotten up and left without knocking on the door again.
Camila and Maxwell didn’t talk to each other the whole morning.
After everything was packed, Maxwell opened the door, and the two of them walked out of the hostel.
The hostel was not far from the dock, and Maxwell’s car was parked in the car park.
Camila and Maxwell just left the hostel when they bumped into a fashionably
dressed woman with bags.
“Mr. Starling, what are you doing here? What a coincidence, right?”
Maxwell thought, “Oh, my God! How could I bump into an acquaintance here?”
Noticing the woman was his classmate from primary school, Maxwell could only greet her, “Yeah. Are you here for a trip too?”
“Here is the story. I had a new boyfriend, and I thought he was a rich guy, but he turned out to be a fake. Yesterday he said to take me for a ride on his private yacht, but it turned out to be a fishing boat. I was so pissed that I drove him away.”
The woman noticed Camila behind Maxwell.

“Mr. Starling, is that your girlfriend? Why not introduce her to me?”
Maxwell frowned slightly. “She’s not my girlfriend. We’re married.“”

“No way! You told me you didn’t have a girlfriend not long ago.” The woman looked at Camila admiringly. “You are so lucky to have married Mr. Starling.”
“Why does she call you Mr. Starling?” Camila asked in a low voice, but the woman
still heard what Camila said.
“Don’t you know your husband is in Startak Gaming and he is the…”
“I used to be a department manager at Startak Gaming. So my classmates made fun of me and called me Mr. Starling.” Maxwell winked at the woman, hinting at her to skip that topic.
“You worked in Startak Gaming before?” Camila suddenly asked Maxwell with
admiration.
“Then why did you quit?”
“A lot has happened since then. I’ll tell you all about it later.”
“Maxwell, you quit Startak Gaming. Last month…”
Maxwell indeed wanted to shut the woman’s mouth, and hurriedly said, “Abbey, have you had your breakfast?”
“Yes. What’s wrong? Do you want to invite me for breakfast?”
“So, hurry up and go back home. Or you may miss the bus.”
“That’s right. I was just wondering how I could get back home. Could you give me a ride?”
Maxwell was going to say no.
However, Abbey had already walked up and held Camila’s hand. “Hello. What’s your name?
Maxwell has been very popular with women since he was a child. You must keep an eye on him.
When he was little, he got first place in everything. We all thought he was a
genius.”

Maxwell went speechless.
Abbey began to talk with Camila on and on.
Camila listened to Abbey with great enthusiasm.
The two of them completely ignored Maxwell behind them, whose face had darkened.

Maxwell held Camila’s bag in his left hand while Abbey’s two bags were in his other
hand.
Thanks to Camila, Abbey could have a chance to bully Maxwell, the imposing president.
In the car, Abbey took the initiative to sit in the back seat, but she still could not stop talking.
“Maxwell, how much do you earn a month?”
Abbey deliberately asked that.
With a cold face, Maxwell ignored Abbey.
Camila was afraid that Abbey might feel embarrassed and answered instead of Maxwell, “5,000 dollars a month.”
“5,000 dollars?” Abbey couldn’t help laughing out loud.
Camila did not know what was funny about that and suddenly had a bad impression of Abbey.
“5,000 dollars are a lot. What’s so funny about that?”
“No hard feeling, Camila. I just want to tell you Maxwell must have saved some money in secret. His monthly salary must be more than that.”
Maxwell went speechless. “Abbey is driving a wedge between Camila and me, isn’t she?”
