Ed didn’t seem too bothered after he heard what Max had to say, and he simply turned over to look at Wendy. She gave him a nod immediately and said, “That’s fine. We’ll both start work tomorrow.”
Max awkwardly uttered, “I’m so sorry, Wendy. You newly-wedded lovebirds should be on honeymoon, but I think President Davis is being too impatient with this whole issue, so…”
She beamed in return. “We’ve known each other for so long; we don’t really need to go on a honeymoon! I’m happy as long as the two of us are together. We can’t delay our work—especially not when Matthew and Julian have been so kind to us. We can’t hinder them from completing their tasks!”
“That’s right, Ed. You have to do your job well!” Both of his parents nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Max flashed a grin as he offered, “If that’s the case, I will wait for the two of you at the entrance of your housing area at 8.00AM tomorrow morning.”
Ed wasn’t used to such treatment. “I-I don’t think you need to do that. We can just head over there ourselves.”
With a sigh, Max quickly replied, “Ed, both you and Wendy don’t have a driver’s license—it’ll be far for you to travel to work. From now on, I will be following you guys around for the most part; Master Tiger said that I’ll be your assistant-cum-driver now. In the future, you can just let me know when you’d like to go somewhere, regardless of whether it’s during or outside of office hours.”
“But this… I feel like I’d be troubling you all the time…” Ed felt a little embarrassed to do so. Max simply said, “Well, this is my job. Alright then; I won’t disturb you guys any longer. See you at 8.00AM tomorrow!” The man then left with a smile on his face.
Ed and Wendy exchanged gazes and heaved a sigh at the same time. What a drastic change to our lives.
