Chapter 1371


    Jared forced his way to the door, grunting as he knocked himself against the door. Max. who was


    standing outside the door, tried to get inside after hearing the sound. However, he was stopped by


    Fiore’s bodyguards.


    "Nobody can enter the room without Ms. Fisher''s permission.”


    Max looked at the two bodyguards from head to toe. “I''m Mr. Johnston''s secretary."


    "We''re aware of that, but we still can''t let you in without Ms. Fisher''s permission.”


    Asound could be hearding from inside the room again. Then, Max ignored the bodyguards and


    broke into the room.


    Max saw Jared lying on the bed, panting, while Fiore unbuttoned his shirt.


    "Who let you in?! Get out of here now!” Fiore went off at Max after he entered the room.


    Max ignored her and walked straight to Jared. Fiore threw her bodyguards a nce, and they rushed


    toward Max. Max swiftly dodged them and pinned them down with just a few moves.

    "Ms. Fisher, please let me do my job.” Max looked at Fiore as he spoke.


    Looking at her ipetent bodyguards, Fiore knew she could not stop Max from taking Jared away.


    So, she looked at Max and said with a smile, ‘Why are you so tense? I''ve known Mr. Johnston for many


    years. Why would I hurt him? He had too much to drink just now. I was just helping him rest when you


    broke in. I drank a little bit as well. I thought you were an intruder. Please forgive me."


    Max knew what Fiore was trying to imply. He nodded at her. Then, he took Jared out of the room and


    left through another exit.


    Fiore fumed. She scolded her bodyguards for ruining her perfect n. She finally had a chance to be


    alone in a room with Jared, yet these two guys blew it for her. Max would never have been able to take


    Jared away if they were morepetent.


    “Trash! Get out of my sight. You''re fired!" Fiore shouted at them.


    Frightened, the bodyguards left the room and shut the door with their tails between their legs. Fiore


    swung a pillow at the door.


    The banquet downstairs was still very busy, and everyone was oblivious to what had happened


    upstairs.


    In the mansion, Nicole did not see Jared in the house after returning home. She was about to call him


    because she thought he was doing overtime. However, she then remembered that he had said


    something about going to a banquet that night, so she put her phone away.


    The doorbell rang while she was watching television. Nicole thought it was Jared, so she wondered


    why he did not use his key.


    She went to get the door and saw Max holding Jared up.


    "What''s with him?" Nicole looked at Max in confusion.


    "Mr. Johnston had too much to drink at the banquet." To avoid any misunderstanding, Max decided to


    not tell her the truth.


    "Get him inside." Nicole opened the door. Then, Max helped Jared to the sofa andid him down.


    "Ms. Nicole, I''ll get going now.” Max turned around and looked at Nicole.


    "Sure. Thank you so much."


    After Max left, Nicole went to Jared''s side. "I always thought his tolerance was very high. How many


    drinks did he have before he passed out like this?
