Max was a philanthropist. He was rich, too. Richer than anyone could even dare to dream. He had worked hard for his money, no one could deny that. He had sacrificed everything he had for his company, for his dream. Max was happy, he had money, he was healthy and he had Lex. He was not an ugly man, he was basically, average, sturdy built he always had to fight against his metabolism to keep his weight on check. Lex, however, she was out of his league, and he knew, she had been a waitress until they met, but she could have easily been a model. A part of Max suspected she was with him for the money, but that was just a small part, and she was so charming all the time, he made himself forget it. Moreover, Lex was the perfect host for all the charity acts Max wanted to organize, she took care of everything, and greeted everyone with a smile, she prepared his speeches, and choose his outfits. She was also proactive, getting her hands dirty if it was needed. Max loved her deeply.
It was a spring afternoon, Max was nervous, really nervous. He was presenting a new charity, that evening, and he also wanted to take profit of the opportunity and propose to Lex. He had been thinking about proposing for months, but it had taken him a long time to find the right ring Max was proud of his purchase, not only it was gorgeous, but it was also eco-friendly and sold through fair trade organizations. First, he needed to finish his work. His secretary, Andrew, interrupted him.
-Max, the police came to talk to you.
-Let them in.- he was surprised, but confident it was only a misunderstanding.
Two well-dressed agents entered through the door. Max stood up to greet them, after they introduced themselves Max asked:
-How can I help you?
-We came to investigate the missing funds of several of your charities.
-Sorry, what?
-Someone in your charities spotted some missing funds and informed us. We are here to investigate it.- said one of them.
-Sir, what is your relation to Miss Alexandra Wooler?
-She's my girlfriend, she takes care of all the charitable work. But she would never do it!
-Why else would she flee the country, then?
At that same moment, Lex had already changed her name and was sipping a cocktail on a beach far away. She deserved the money, she thought, she had to endure that man for way too long, and her only love was money, after all.
