Villain of my own novel

A week later.

Faye Clayton arrived in a luxurious car at a restaurant in Sector Six, got out, and ordered her driver to pick her up 3 hours later, and if it appeared that she would be late she would notify him, before walking into the most famous restaurant in Sector Six to meet Max, with whom she has been speaking for about a week.

She had arrived 30 minutes earlier because she couldn't contain her excitement for reasons she didn't understand. She walked and sat on the reserved table in a closed 10-foot room, where all the food would be brought in at once and no one would enter unless called for; she was the one who reserved the table, despite Max's offer.

She had learned a few things about Max in the last few days. One was that he wasn't much of a talker, two was that he was a good listener, three was that he is blunt and would get straight to the point, and four was that he was the guild master of the 'Persona Guild'!

That guild is also known as a 'hidden powerhouse' because they have held rank 10 for five years in a row. That may not be that big of a deal on the outside, but they gained that moniker since there would always be only a single point difference between them and the ninth-ranked guild in the monthly guild ranking notice, which was the guild she was currently in!

It is as if they know exactly how many points they should have in order to be in their tenth rank; not once in all those years have they moved a rank above or below, earning them the moniker 'The Hidden Powerhouse.' Almost nothing is known about the 'Persona Guild,' and nobody would even believe her, and some could even laugh at her if she said that she was meeting with that guild's guild master on a daily basis.

'Sometimes I wondered why their guild isn't known on the outside, but after meeting Max, I know for a fact that he thinks that public attention is simply too bothersome, and at the level of his handsomeness, I wouldn't blame him too much.' Faye thought as she waited for Max to make his appearance.

'And the final thing and the most important thing than his identity as the guild master of 'Persona' is that he has another personality which comes out when he wants to get a woman into his bed!!' She definitely wasn't pleased to learn about it, but....

'But in that personality of his!!! He looks so goddamn sexy, that even I would have agreed if he spoke to me like that!!' She thought and instantly flushed red.

DING, DING

When the door to the room was pushed open, the bell jiggled and a black-haired handsome man walked in, wearing a white shirt with the top two buttons unbuttoned and sleeves rolled up, black gloves, black trousers, and black loafers.

"Hello Max, you're right on time as usual." Faye greeted with a bright smile.

'At least arrive a bit early on a date!!' She complained inwardly.

"Hello Faye, you're early as usual." Max greeted her with a chuckle.

'Goddammit, I can't even complain at his face!' She wanted to complain, but melted at his chuckling face.

"Hmph, I'll forgive you because you're so handsome." Faye snorted softly and muttered out loud, involuntarily.

"..... I guess, I should be thankful for being 'so handsome.'" He replied and sat in front of her.

"I-I.... said that out loud?" Faye asked with her face flushed bright red.

"Hahaha." Max busted out into laughter.

"D-Don't laugh!!" She grumbled.

CLUNK (5x)

They ate their meals while chatting....or it was more like a Q and A, since Faye talked and Max replied from time to time after hearing her speak, but not a single moment was awkward and Faye enjoyed the time she spent with Max.

When the meal was nearing the end, Faye turned silent and continuously peeked at Max for at most ten minutes with rosy cheeks, she would meet his eyes sometimes and instantly avert her gaze, but Max simply waited for her to speak up without disturbing her, and after some time.

"H-Hey." Faye called out with a flushed face.

'Ca-Calm down, it's not like I want 'that' ..... I just want to...' She justified her reasons, inwardly.

"Mhnm." Max nodded her to continue.

CLUNK

"....H-Hey...." She called out again and seemed slightly reluctant to say it out loud.

"Mhnm." Max nodded again, placed the knife and fork on his plate, and took his wine glass before taking a sip.

"... ca-can y-you sp-speak with me like th-that, li-like the fl-flirt ty-type..." Faye said with her face flushed bright red.

"C-cough? Cough, cough, cough...."

"Ar-are y-you alright?" Faye instantly stood up and leaned forward towards him.

"Cough, cough, I-I'm al-alright, I just didn't expect this from you." Max looked at with a small smile on his face, it looked like he was holding back his laughter.

"Don't laugh...." Faye noticed his smile and wanted to scold him, but her entire body stiffened at his next words.

"Hello love." Max said with a charming smile.

"...." Faye turned silent.

"Hello love~"

"H-hello." Faye sat back down with stiff movements.

STEP (3x)

"What do we have here? Hm?" He shifted his seat and sat right next to her.

".....S-st-st..." Faye wanted to respond but began to stutter with a flushed face. Her heartbeat quickened and her mind stopped working to keep up with everything moving and changing at such a rapid pace; there hadn't been any physical contact yet, but something in Max seemed to have changed; she didn't know what was going on, but her heart just kept beating like crazy.

"Hm?" He leaned forward and stared at her with his charming face, which she had only seen him use against other women; now that she was facing it herself, something in her wanted to agree with everything he wanted.

".... W-w-we're having steak..." She looked down, closed her eyes and replied while she felt her whole body turn hot.

"Hmm..." He gently supported her chin and lifted her head up. Her neck instantly stiffened at his gesture but softened as soon as his hand started to lift her head up.

CLUNK

After he raised her head, he cut a small piece of steak from her plate and fed her while looking at her in the eyes; her mouth subconsciously opened up, and she stared at him while chewing the food in a dazed manner.

"Is it good?" He asked while maintaining eye contact, she nodded, dazed.

"Then shall I have a taste too?" He asked, and her mind slightly cleared up, and her crazy fantasies slightly left her mind.

".....Yea...." She mumbled while still chewing the food.

"Don't mind if I do, then..." He leaned forward towards her, slightly tilting his head while continuing to maintain eye contact.

'!' Her mind instantly registered a possibility and she slightly opened her mouth. She felt a strong yet comforting grip around her arms and felt an unfamiliar breath near hers.

"About time." Max mumbled, which Faye couldn't hear due to her daze, and she felt something soft and warm on her lips before something invaded her mouth.

"Mhmm~" She closed her eyes and was enjoying the kiss, but then....

BAM

DING-DING (3x)

".... Y-yu-you, you son of a bit*h!! Get off of my woman!!" She suddenly heard Alvin's voice from the door. She opened her eyes wide and wanted to push Max back, but since he had gripped her hands, she could do nothing but enjoy his kiss.

'!' She was surprised again when her mind finally registered that she was kissing Max.

"Mhmm~" Since it was so good, she just enjoyed the kiss after a few seconds before he broke the kiss and licked his lips seductively while staring at her in the eye.

"Thank you for the meal."
