Chapter 6. Want to Know You Better

Max carried Shada in his arms. He then slowly landed Shada's body on the bed that was dominated by pastel colors. He gently caressed Shada's face. He looked at her beautiful face then pushed his lips against Shada's lips. They gently kissed each other, seemingly enjoying their moment together.

Slowly, Max's hands explored Shada's body again. He explores the delicate body beneath her. Both of his hands went inside Shada's t-shirt, caressing the two bulging breasts.

Meanwhile, Shada seems to enjoy every touch Max gives her.

Max's hands are now under her bra, playing with Shada's bare skin.

Max suddenly let go of her kiss, quickly removing the tight T-shirt she was wearing. He sees the tantalizing sight that pops out underneath a very attractive brown lace bra.

He couldn't wait, he quickly unclasped the bra and released the beautiful sight inside.

"So beautiful," Max marveled, still glued to his object. Shada looked up at Max, her cheeks red.

Max hugs and licks Shada's lips again. Their breathing seemed to be racing. Max again groped Shada's body, then stopped at her breasts, playing there. Max's kisses traveled to Shada's clear neck, erasing the ownership marks that had previously been traced.

Slowly, his kisses lowered. Hot air rushed between them. They want more. Deeper. So, they brought their bodies together.

Meanwhile, Demian had been watching them for a while. But his feelings were now very disappointed. He decided to leave, swallowed by the dark night.

♡♡♡

Shada blinked at the glare of the dawn light that moved through the curtains on her window. Her eyes were then drawn to the person next to her. She widened her eyes when she realized that both of their bodies were naked without being covered by a single cloth.

She wanted to get up, but her body became heavy. Shada's stomach was now being held by the man's burly arms.

Shada gave up and looked at Max who was still asleep. She also looked at the door of her room which was still wide open. Suddenly she remembered Demian. Did he come here again last night? Shada shook her head. No, why was she even thinking about Demian. After all, Demian is not a human with feelings. And most importantly, he was nobody to her.

Oh yeah, what time is it already? Shada's mind reminded her. Her hand swiftly reached for the cell phone on the nightstand. Her eyes rounded perfectly when she looked at the clock, it was already 6:50 am.

"Max, wake up. We have to go to work." Shada tried to wake Max up by gently patting his burly arm. Max squirmed slowly, then opened his eyes. He began to adjust his vision to the intensity of the light this morning.

Max's gaze shifted to Shada, he smiled when he saw her innocent body. Max's eyes lit up and he briefly kissed her forehead and lips.

"I love you, Sweetheart," Max said, looking up at his girlfriend.

"And, oh yeah. We can leave a little late today," Max continued with a chuckle.

The two of them got ready to leave for work. They planned to eat together in the cafeteria because there wasn't enough time to prepare a sandwich.

When they arrived at the office, Shada saw that Richard had just approached Ruth's desk. She saw the beautiful face of Ruth's face twisting her lips.

"That Richard, he just told us to do a market survey at some supermarkets." Ruth snorted in annoyance at Richard.

She had never gotten along with her manager. Even though Richard was the same age as Ruth, his attitude was never respectful and tended to be arbitrary. Shada also didn't really like Richard.

"What a jerk Richard is!" Ruth grumbled again, causing Shada to laugh.

"You know, Shada. Actually, that was the assignment Max gave him! Then on a whim, Richard threw it at us!" Ruth grumbled again. She could see it clearly. Although she didn't know directly when Max gave her the assignment, she could clearly read Richard's cunning thoughts.

"That's it, Ruth. Let's just do it. After this, we'll eat at the cafeteria and then leave," Shada suggested as they prepared everything for the survey.

After that, they walked towards the cafeteria. Shada had told Max that she and Ruth were going to eat. It didn't take long for Max to reach the cafeteria.

They stood in line to fill their respective trays. Shada watched Max put mashed potato, chicken pop and sauce, vegetable and fruit salad on his tray. Shada copied what Max ate today.

After the meal, they went their separate ways to their own rooms. Shada and Ruth then sped off in the company car away from the Holy Food building.

The road was so hot that the asphalt seemed to vaporize as it soared upwards. The car Shada was driving was now moving swiftly on this big road that connected the city. Occasionally overtaking some large vehicles that crept in front of her.

They would be heading southwest at this time. Some of the supermarkets they were going to could be considered quite large. Only certain supermarkets had been entered by various instant food products from the company. Their company only looked at supermarkets with good compatibility and stable annual sales.

Ruth, who was beside Shada, had been fast asleep since she passed through the city limits earlier. Ruth really hated cars, she couldn't stand the atmosphere inside them. So, she consoled her mood by wearing an eye mask and sleeping.

Their car was finally parked neatly at one of the six supermarkets they had targeted today. Shada took out her big book and ticked off one of the supermarket names. The sound of Shada's movement woke up Ruth who was next to her.

"Hoaaam... ah, are we there yet?" Ruth stretched her arms, blinked quickly, and then took off the two masks that were stuck to her eyes. 

"Yes, we've arrived. Turns out you can wear an eye mask on the way hahaha .." laughed Shada as she gently hit Ruth's arm.

Since Ruth didn't like lingering in the car, she got out immediately. Shada followed later. They entered the supermarket and adjusted this month's sales data.

It didn't take long before they were done with the first supermarket, and continued on to the second and the last.

Now they were about to head to the sixth location, in the Oakville area. After parking the car, they rushed into the supermarket. This place was twice as big as the previous supermarket.

They were immediately preoccupied with matching the data again. Suddenly in the tail of Shada's eyes, she caught a glimpse of someone familiar. Shada was startled by the figure she had caught, then immediately looked back.

But at that very second, Ruth turned in the same direction. Shada gasped at Ruth, then tried to ask, "Did you see it too, Ruth?"

"What? Ah... no." Ruth looked shocked, but quickly adjusted her expression.

"I think you also saw a flash of a very fast person behind us. Because you turned your head at the same time and in the same direction," Shada scolded Ruth, almost probingly, then continued, "And I think that was Demian."

Shada looked closely at her friend. She felt the need to get to know Ruth better. She already knew the woman quite well. But she also realized that she had never heard the whole of Ruth's life.

Ruth had been a very good listener to Shada. Shada also often heard Ruth's stories, even though the woman only told her about work, coworkers, especially the annoying Richard. Even her love and family stories were unknown to Shada.

"Ruth, have I recognized you correctly?" Shada's sharp gaze seemed to draw out and break down Ruth's defenses that had been built over the years.
