"Sniff.."

A girl currently sat on a bed with glossy eyes, and the fact that they were slightly red, definitely meant that she had been crying for a good while now. Her hair was not properly combed, and she seemed a little thinner. She definitely seemed like a depressed person.

This girl was Synthia.

Rihanna's disappearance had a huge impact on her. And, each day, sitting in her room, she laughed and cried at her helplessness. She couldn't do anything. She didn't even know where to begin her search for Rihanna.

"Knock!"

"Knock!"

At this moment, a knock sounded on Synthia's door, but she acted as if she hadn't heard it at all. In the past few days, her friends have come repeatedly to cheer her up, and bring her out, but they have been unsuccessful.

"It's me, open the door.."

A familiar voice came through the door, and Synthia brows perked up a little. She had recognized the voice obviously. It belonged to Max, and she knew he wasn't the kind to visit her for no reason.

But, she wasn't in a mood for anything. If he was here to bring her back, and ensure that the mission was continued without a problem, then he could forget about it. To her, nothing mattered in the world at this point of time. She had lost all her fighting spirit, and all that was left in her was helplessness.

Max stood outside Synthia's room for a few minutes waiting for her to open the door. But, soon he let out a bitter smile realizing that she wasn't going to.

'This girl…' Max didn't know what to say. She really had a weak mentality. He had been in a position of helplessness as well, and hence he knew it very well that the first thing you need to do in such a situation was not to let go of hope.

"You sure don't want to open? I was thinking of helping you out with finding about Rihanna's situation..but it seems you don't need my help.." Max said with a loud voice, and then turned around planning to leave.

But, the moment he did, the door opened at the speed of light, and a hand grabbed Max's collar from behind, and pulled him inside.

Max was immediately thrown onto the bed by a mad looking Synthia. Her eyes were red, and her hair uneven. She slowly walked towards Max and put one of her leg on the bed while grabbing Max's collar and pulling him up.

"You better not have said that as a joke.." She stared right into his eyes.

"It wasn't a joke until now, but I changed my mind now.." Max smiled looking at her. He felt a bit pity towards her, and Rihanna was a nice person as well. Hence, Max had thought of asking Beli to give him a little info about Rihanna. But, he surely didn't like being threatened. Especially when he was trying to help, and the other person was not so close to him.

"Y-You!!" Synthia obviously became angry.

"I am sorry..I shouldn't have joked like that. I will take my leave. You can stay cooped up here.." Max easily forced Synthia back with his strength, and got out her grasp.

"Wait!" Synthia immediately grabbed onto Max's arm.

"What?" Max asked as he turned his head, and looked at her.

"You were really joking?" Synthia asked with an anxious look on her face, and then her legs slowly gave out as she fell onto the floor.."Why? Do you have to be so cruel?"

Tears began to pour out of her eyes, and Max stood there with a little frown on his face. This really made it seem like he was the bad guy. Was this girl really stupid? If she needed help, then she should have acted in a way that suited it, and not threatened him.

"Stop crying! I can help.." Max went back and took a seat on the bed as he looked at Synthia staring at him as she sat on the floor.

"Please tell me where she is.." Synthia immediately held onto Max's hand in a pleading manner.

Max looked at her, and sighed. He didn't know how to react. At one time she was just too headstrong, and at another she was too miserable.

"Look at yourself, can you really help Rihanna in this situation?" Max asked as he looked at her, and then with a wave of palm he brought a chair towards her, and made her sit, and calm down a little first.𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

Even though he didn't like babysitting, he had no other option here when she acted like that.

It took a while, but Synthia surely seemed to have recover a little.

"I know you are not the kind of guy to help me for nothing. I am willing to do anything you wish," Synthia spoke as she finally calmed down, and her eyes seemed to have once again regained her vigor with hope in front of her.

Max, who was thinking how to obtain some benefit from the situation, was immediately left speechless when she heard Synthia speak.

'What the hell am I really that bad?'

"Good that you understand it…and don't worry, I keep my words.." Max looked at her with a smile, "Now, that you are willing to do anything, here is my first request, go and get ready. We are going out to have some fun tonight.."

Synthia froze when she heard Max, and then the next second she clenched her fist and gritted her teeth in anger. She had never thought that Max would take advantage of her like this. After all, even though she had initially taken Max as a pervert who had relations with more than one girl, that image of his had slowly improved when she saw how he interacted with her and Rihanna.

But, now…𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

"Hmmn?" Max suddenly raised her head to look at Synthia and saw her shaking in anger as she glared at him. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing…I am going to get ready.." Synthia turned around and then opened her wardrobe before taking out a change of clothes.

Max on the other hand frowned looking at her changed body language, 'Don't tell me she misunderstood me?'

He already had a few very bad situations of misunderstanding in his life, and hence he was very sensitive to it now.

'Yup, she definitely did..'

Suddenly, Max's eyes widened, and he cursed internally, 'Sh*t!'

Synthia actually was about to pull her top out, it seemed she was going to change right in front of him.

"Whoosh!"

Max obviously wasn't going to allow this to continue. And, the next second, he had already appeared in front of Synthia and held her hands, and stopped her in her place.

"What do you think you are doing?"

"Is there any difference whether it's now or later?" Synthia asked as she glared at him.

'As I thought..' Max sighed. Thankfully, this time, he was not late to clear this misunderstanding.

"Idiot..I was literally asking you to come out with me tonight. A friend has invited me, and I need your help.."

Synthia looked at Max suspiciously. She clearly wasn't believing him. After all, Max was a pervert in her eyes who was having relationships with more than one woman.

"Well, I said what I wanted to do. It's your choice whether you want to believe it or not.." Max let go of her hand, "Of course, you can continue if you don't believe me..I don't mind....but I definitely won't touch you even you wrap yourself in ribbon.."

Synthia's face turned red as she glared at him. She finally realized that there might be a possibility that she might have been too quick to judge. If not, then this guy must have deliberately spoken in that manner, after all, he was smart and should have realized that his words could be taken in another manner as well.

It was very possible that he was deliberately do this to embarrass her. He was a petty guy after all. And, she had her conflicts with him as well. He was definitely taken revenge for it.

Max ignored Synthia's glare as he calmly laid on her bed, and asked her to carry on.

Of course, she didn't do it, and just went to her washroom to change.
