Ice Prince: Rewrite The Star

Without realizing it, Max and Chleo had been in the restaurant for almost three hours. At first, they felt that time was running very slowly. After they've managed to break the ice and talk to each other, they felt that time went by so fast.

Max still didn't want to be separated from Chleo, so he offered to drive the girl home. Chleo herself still wanted to be with Max, so she accepted it without hesitation.

Unfortunately... time does go by very quickly. They had arrived in front of Chleo's house before they knew it.

"Wait here."

Max's gentle order subtly confused Chleo. Her heart was beating fast when she saw what the man was about to do. It turned out that Maximillian got out of his car first to open the car door beside her!

Very weird. Alexis also often treated her like this every time she got in or out of the car. But why did her heart flutter when Max did it?

"Uhm... Thank you," stated Chleo shyly while lowering her head. She could not look straight into the eyes of this man whose handsomeness was beyond human comprehension.

"You live here?"

Max looked at the simple house, which was relatively small for its size, with a probing gaze. He was sure that Chleo was the eldest daughter of Vincent Regnz. And it's clear that the company that Vincent built during his youth continues to grow and not go bankrupt.

So why did Chleo live in a small house like this?

"Yes. I live here."

"Hmm. Very interesting."

"!?"

What's so interesting? And why are you smiling like that? Chleo could only keep the question for herself. Max's smile was very charming and managed to drill Chleo's heart which she thought was dull.

Max didn't know his smile was a deadly weapon for Chleo's heart. He only found the girl so different and intriguing because she never met an unspoiled rich girl all his whole life.

Having both parents like Chleo, not to mention an uncle like Kinsey Alvianc, there was no doubt that Chleo could have everything.

But on the other hand, this girl didn't look arrogant or self-important. She even agreed to live in this modest house, and the way she dressed did not reflect that she was the daughter of a wealthy family.

If ordinary people saw it, they would think Chleo was from the average society. If someone with sharp instincts saw her, they would suspect that Chleo was from the upper class but not that powerful.

But if they were smart and took the time to talk to Chleo, they would realize that Chleo was not someone you could mess around with.

Max could feel it during their conversation in the restaurant. This girl was not only smart and had a good character but also exudes a noble aura.

Fortunately, until now, Max did not know Chleo's super-duper careless and naive nature. No one knew what he would think if Max found out in the future.

As Max said earlier, Chleo was indeed a bright and intelligent child. She would also make sure to cover up her reckless tendency. Only her close friends and family know about this recklessness.

"By the way, what are you going to do?"

"Hmm?"

"Didn't a group of girls attack you? It looks like they slandered you using fake videos."

"How did you know it was a fake video?"

"You're not someone who can do something like that."

In other words, Max believed that the main culprit who broke Ashley's laptop wasn't Chleo. Somehow Chleo felt flattered to hear this. They had only met twice, but this young man already believed him.

"Like it or not, I have to face them. I will prove that the person in the video is not me."

Max smiled faintly at that. Strangely, why did he feel proud to see this girl's courage? What's wrong with him?

"Good luck. Then I'll go first."

"Oh, wait." Chleo suddenly panicked, and it confused her. Why did she feel panicked about parting with someone she had only met twice? She was sure she'd never panicked like this about others.

"Yes?"

"Uhm… that…"

Chleo was doubtful whether she should express what was in her heart or not. What if the man looked at her strangely? What if the guy hates her?

Oh, screw her thought! She would think about it later if it turned out that the man was looking down on her.

"Would it be strange if I wanted to be friends with you?"

"Aren't we already friends?"

"Ha?"

"We already know each other's names. Your cousin is my friend's lover. I don't see why we can't be friends."

"So… we're friends now? Then…" Chleo bit her lip again in doubt.

Ugh! It looks like she took the wrong medicine this morning. Wasn't it that she wanted to ask if the man wanted to be friends with her or not? Why does she want more now?

Max said nothing and patiently waited for Chleo to continue.

"Can we meet again?" asked Chleo in a hush-tone as if she whispered something.

Not to mention a car driving past her house and swallowed all her voices so that Max couldn't hear a thing from her.

For some reason, Chleo felt grateful toward the passing car because she would feel so embarrassed if it turned out that Max heard it.

Convinced that Max didn't hear her, Chleo immediately took this opportunity to divert their conversation.

"It was nothing. Thank you again. Thank you for helping me and driving me home."

"..." It was silent once more time. Neither of them spoke.

Chleo suddenly became nervous. Moreover, a pair of blue eyes were staring at her with an unfathomable gaze. What was that man thinking?

"Uhm... Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Are you going to college tomorrow?"

"Hmm. I will submit my final work tomorrow."

"What time are you leaving?"

"About ten in the morning."

"After that? Do you have class?"

"No. I will go straight home after that." Chleo was confused about the man's inquiry. Why did Max ask her schedule for tomorrow?

"I'll pick you up then. See you tomorrow."

Only then did Max turn around and get into his car. In contrast, Chleo was standing there with a widened jaw. She was still processing the words and repeated the words inside her mind.

'I'll pick you up then. See you tomorrow.'

Eeeehhhh!?!?!?!

On the other hand, Max was driving his car with a blank look. He remembered what the girl had said earlier.

'Can we meet again?'

A toothy grin was adorned on his handsome snow-like face.
