Bad Date

Max watched the exchange between the two of them while thinking to himself. 'Ah... how nice it is to be young! They should just realize their feelings already and get a room.'

A smirk appeared on the face of Max before it disappeared a second later like it never appeared.

Nobody noticed his subtle change of emotion as he managed to maintain his usual cold and overbearing appearance in front of everyone.

Meanwhile, the others in the room calmly watched over everything while having their thoughts about it all.

From the way one or two of them looked, it did not seem like the current situation was something they wanted to see happening and they were probably hoping that Puck would become swayed by her emotions and would ruin things.

Not only did she not lose control over herself but she handled everything perfectly leaving no room for anyone to fault her.

Two days passed by as the meeting was about to take place.

The location had changed to where the meeting had been arranged and it was near a spot in the smaller shopping and entertainment area of the city.

The buildings were a lot simpler while some looked to be rundown or quite old as if there had not been any renovation or rebuilding done there for quite some time.

Among those various buildings was a small theatre building that had some posters posted over the windows showing the latest shows that were currently available to watch or were coming in the future.

While it did not have the new and fresh look that other cinemas or theatres had, it had a certain olden charm about it that let people appreciate a little of the past that had continued to exist even as so much had changed over the years.

Despite there being a show playing there very soon, there did not seem to be many people there almost like the attraction to such a place was not always too great.

Although it was still running and had people come to see what was showing, the number of people visiting each time was only enough to keep the business from closing down and it was not likely to be bringing in a lot of profit.

There were footsteps nearby as someone was approaching.

The person approaching was dressed in a slightly smart shirt and jeans which was soon revealed to be the very person who had been deceiving Puck,

He stopped in place near the corner of the old theatre before raising his arm as he looked toward the watch on his wrist. "She is not here yet?"

His voice had a light bit of impatience within it as he said those words.

It was completely different to the soft voice he used to Puck and how he usually talked such flirtatious and sweet words to her.

The attitude and personality he showed were just too different.

What stood out too was how it seemed like he was used to having her at his beck and call like when he arrived at a place, she would have already been there waiting for him.

Sometimes he preferred it that way since he could see how into him the girls were and how they kept waiting for him to arrive.

Sometimes it was quite amusing to see the relief on their faces as he finally arrived a little later than what they had discussed.

There was a slight thrill from messing around with the women he dated in such a way as he led them on and played with their feelings.

Puck already seemed like she was captured by him so it was a surprise that she was not there waiting for him.

If it was the past then perhaps she may have already been waiting patiently and may have worried about him if he did not answer her call right away.

It was not like he could chastise her for being late since he needed to maintain his current relationship with her but he was still feeling displeased.

To him, it was almost like he had lost a little when it came to control over their relationship.

He liked being the one in control and he did not like being the one left waiting for another when it came to his dates.

He tried to calm himself down before taking out his mobile phone and searching for Puck on his contacts.

The call did not go through right away so he tried again but there was still no answer which caused him to become frustrated. "What is she doing? Is she seriously playing with me right now?"

He felt like the current scenario was somewhat similar to something he had done in the past to his dates.

A feeling of Deja Vu struck him but it soon got interrupted by something else.

A large black van that was passing by on the road suddenly took a sharp turn parking near the corner of the theatre building he was standing at. "Hey watch where you are going, buddy!"

He was already suppressing negative feelings so when confronted with something like that, he soon started to vent those frustrations onto another.

He already walked up to the side of the van as he was about to bang his fist against the door but the side door suddenly slid to the side.

Several large figures jumped out so quickly that he was unable to respond.

He may have had cat-like reflexes and agility but he was not expecting such a thing to happen.

Not only that but he was not physically strong or fit as he had not done anything to improve his physical capabilities.

The moment that he was grabbed ahold of, he struggled a little but he could not do anything further.

His mouth was covered up before he could shout out for help and then he was pulled inside of the van.

It all happened so quickly that the van closed the side door and quickly drove away with him inside.

The struggles of the man quickly died down after he was fully suppressed and put to sleep during the rest of the journey.

What he had expected to be a normal date had turned into something that he could never have imagined.
