"What? A job? Are you serious? I mean, you don't know me, and I barely know you.

30. Welcome back, Max
Max POVI had been thinking about this the whole night about going back to the Ace Company. 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. All I need is to wear a man's suit and make my voice deeper and manly. "Ahem!", I cleared my throat and practice my man's voice again. I rub my throat and try another deep voice. I think I lost my man's voice a little since i
