Everyone else is out on patrol , and here you are slacking off ? " " You two know each other ? He's not the president of Sphere Corporation ? " Cassie looked back and forth between the two . " Yeah , this is the husband I told you about . " Juliette whispered . If he were really the president of Sphere Corporation , he could have any woman he wanted . Why on earth would he marry her ? " So , I see . Do you know where the president of Sphere Corporation is ? " Max raised his brows and played along , accepting the bodyguard label . " He felt a bit tired and already left .

But suddenly , a hand grabbed her arm and pulled her into the shadows . In the dim moonlight , she recognized the man's face . " Gavin , what are you doing ? Let go of me ! " Juliette struggled , but no matter how hard she tried , she couldn't break free from his grasp . Gavin applied more force , pinning Juliette against the white wall in the garden behind the building . Her jet - black hair , striking features , under the moonlight looked even more breathtaking . The black evening gown made her look like an enchantress . Her captivating eyes glared at Gavin , yet instead of being annoying , it only made him want her more . " Where did you go just now ? " " What does that have to do with you ? Why should I tell you ? " Juliette asked . Who does he think he is , some kind of police ? " I searched all over and couldn't find you . You went to the second floor , didn't you ? You went to see Caleb ? What's your relationship with Caleb ? When did you meet him ? Is he just another one of your flings ? " A series of questions left Juliette speechless . " Gavin , are you done ? If anyone should be asking these questions , it'd be my husband . Who the hell do you think you are ? " " Caleb isn't just anyone . You're no match for him . I've looked into him ! He grew up poor , used all sorts of schemes and tricks just to climb his way up to being the president's assistant . He's sharp as hell ! * Juliette looked at him . What she hated most was this exact version of Gavin . If he really cared , why hadn't he stepped in when Celine bullied her earlier ? Why did he always show up afterward , acting all high and mighty like some father figure ? " I'm warning you , let go of me or I'm going to scream ! " Juliette struggled again , but her wrist remained tightly gripped by him . " Bastard , let me go ! " " What if I say I won't ? ' Gavin sounded possessed .

The light fell on him , and his expression turned unreadable . With a cold look , he grabbed Gavin's wrist . " Didn't you hear her ? She told you to let go . " " And who the hell are you to say that to me ? What qualifies you to stand on the same level as me ? " Gavin looked at him coldly . Some nobody driving a beat - up car dared to act tough ? He didn't even bother to fight someone like that ; he could crush him with just a finger . " Let go . " Max repeated , his presence domineering . Juliette watched as the two men silently but intensely clashed . She couldn't tell how much strength Max used , but Gavin's forehead veins popped out . Well , he was clearly in pain . Juliette , this is the man you chose ? He's a total loser who only knows brute force . Does he even know what kind of place you work at ? He can't give you a good life ! " Gavin was about to go on when Vivienne's voice rang out from outside . " Gavin , are you in there ? When can we go home ? My head really hurts . I think I caught a cold from standing outside for too long . " Gavin gave Juliette a long look . Seeing that she still refused to apologize , he finally let her go . Juliette , I don't know how things between us ended up like this . Vivienne can't handle the cold . I have to find her . But all of this is your fault . If it weren't for that drug three years ago , her body wouldn't be this weak . If you had any conscience , you wouldn't be flirting around , making us all worry about you . " With that , Gavin walked off . The first time she was misunderstood , she tried her best to explain . But now ? Not worth it anymore . " Sorry about that , Juliette said apologetically after Gavin left . " I knew you'd be a handful the day I married you ." Max turned and headed toward the parking lot . He didn't want to get involved in their mess . But he couldn't help thinking about how she'd worried for him and come out to find him last night . He didn't like owing favors , so this time , he'd consider it payback . In the Volkswagen , Max quietly drove while Juliette stared at the scenery outside the window . " Why did you go to that banquet tonight ? Max asked casually , eyes fixed on the road . Cassie's a reporter .

After answering his question , she leaned against the seat and began to doze off . " Just now , Gavin said you work at some kind of place . What kind of place is it ? " Max asked , but got no response . He turned to look but found that she was already asleep . Never mind , I'll ask next time . When they arrived at the apartment , Juliette was still fast asleep . Her hair had fallen over her face , her skin fair and flawless . At a banquet swarming with high - society ladies , she had worn a brandless dress with barely any design , yet still managed to outshine everyone . Max's Adam's apple bobbed .
