Chapter 151

Maxi was so flustered that it did not immediately occur to her to flee. Her ears were ringing, and she felt dizzy. She teetered as a bout of vertigo washed over her. Was it brought on by fear or by longing? She managed to regain her balance by grabbing onto a rock.

"Were you not told that I was not to be disturbed?" his cold voice rang out.

Keeping her head down, Maxi gulped. She knew she had to say something but had a feeling he would recognize her immediately if she spoke.

After prickling with sweat and remaining silent for quite some time, Maxi buckled under the strange pressure emanating from him and managed to croak out, "P… Please… forgive me."

There was a heavy silence. Maxi felt his sharp gaze boring into her head like needles.

"Raise your head," he said, suspicious.

When Maxi clutched her hood and began to back away, she heard splashing followed by the rustling of clothes.
