She can't believe that this good Samaritan is now offering her a job.
" Yeah, I know someone who can give you a job, I have a friend who ran out a club. I thought he's looking for a new waitress." He told her and Max thought that this seems to be a good opportunity for her.
She must forget that she was once the Max Lopez who disguised as a man that worked as the head designer at the Ace Company. It's time to gulp her pride. She badly needed a job to support her daughter, Tally.
" Ahm, since you want to help me, I think I can try it." She simply said and Russ was glad to hear it.
"Okay. Can you bring your resume tomorrow?", he asked her.
Max was stunned to hear it.
" You mean tomorrow? Are you sure about it? I'm a single mom and everyone didn't want to hire me since I am no

She said and that's when he realized that Max's daughter will celebrate her birthday soon. He smiled at her and he promise to come on her birthday. "Sure, I will come.

I don't know if this is the best idea to do that I will just continue my fake identity because my boss told me so.Maybe he's just doesn't want anyone to find out that I am a woman because the company needs to protect their image and the summer collections are coming and he said that the Italy fashion week collaboration is coming."Yes, I need to do my best for my second come back. I make sure that I won't do any mistakes this time to prevent everyone from knowing me another Max Lopez, a single mom and broken." Max mumbled as she started shaving her hair for real. No need to put fake short hair anymore and a beard.

I think I lost my man's voice a little since i

Max blushed when Asher kept holding her hands. She's the one taking it away because she's afraid that her fantasies about him will turn real. They said it's not bad to dream big but this one was bigger than she thought." Ahm, I guess I had to go back to my office. What if someone will see us like this? They might think sir that I am dating you and they will think that were gays and it looks gross!", she told him but Asher just laughed at her."Don't worry, this whole glass wall is soundproof and my glass was tainted so no one will find out what we are doing." Asher stood up from his chair and started walking in front of her.Max's heartbeat began to beat like a drum. She didn't know why she's acting like this. Maybe she's just overwhelmed that Asher was the same guy inside the restaurant who became interested in her. He leans closer near her face an inches apart. She can smell his menthol breath and it makes her insane."Why? Are

"What? Are you drunk, ma'am Tatiana?", Max was speechless after hearing it.She didn't know that Tatiana was serious. She lean closer towards her and bit her lips to tease her and Max felt gross about it but she must act like a man even it's against her well so she won't think that she's just doing an act." I'm not kidding here." She told her and to Max's surprise, Tatiana came closer near her chair and was about to sit on her lap.She quickly push her away which made her stumble on the floor."I'm so sorry, ma'am but I don't do things like that in my work."

I'm not! I told you I have a girlfriend right? I don't sail at two rivers." She softly told her and Tatiana just realized her wrong actions.&
