Max entered Ashton's room and found Sabrina and Elizabeth chatting with Ashton.

"Hello, beautiful…" Max murmured while pulling Liz into his embrace. "Your handsome boyfriend came to pick you up from work."

Liz smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Aren't I the lucky one?"

Sabrina smiled while looking at her brother who is kissing Liz like no one else is in the room. She can't believe that only a few months ago this business-oriented doting boyfriend was a fickle partygoer who was giving headaches to their father.

"How are things here?" Max asked when his lips parted from Liz's.

Liz wanted to respond, but she was slightly dazed from his kiss which made her mind spin, and she ended up leaning into his embrace. "I need a minute…"

Max chuckled. Ah, Liz is wonderful.

"Updates from your side?" Sabrina asked Max.
