Alone Beneath the Moon

Racetrack Town.

Black Manor.

The moon is high in the sky.

"Should I bring Caroline over?"

MAX said lazily.

"No."

Adam paused, then shook his head in refusal.

Are you sure?

MAX looked up at him.

"I'm sure."

Adam laughed and said, "In this setting, the two of us can simply enjoy the moon."

"You said it yourself, so don't say I didn't give you a chance."

A slight smile appeared on MAX's lips.

Adam, who had been watching MAX out of the corner of his eye, noticed the curve and sighed inwardly.

Really!

Don't let MAX's reputation as a sharp-tongued queen of raunchy jokes fool you; she's always pulling off all sorts of outrageous moves.

But in reality, she wasn't as open-minded as she claimed.

In Adam previous life, Ya watched the American sitcom 2 Broke Girls.

But I didn't watch it dozens of times like I did with the American sitcom the Big Bang Theory, nor did I watch it several times like I did with the American sitcom How I Met Your Mother.

It's not even as good as Friends I basically watched until the end.

Adam only watched the first two seasons of 2 Broke Girls and then stopped watching.

Because the plot is not as coherent and relatable to real life as those three classic sitcoms, it feels like the jokes are just for the sake of jokes.

Even so, Adam remembers that in the very beginning of 2 Broke Girls, Max and Caroline had a conflict over their boyfriends.

When Max kindly took Caroline, who was homeless and could only sleep on the subway with a stun gun, back to his apartment, he told her to stay there until Max finished his part-time job as a nanny at socialite Peach's house, and then they would go to work together.

While Caroline was washing her dirty waitress uniform at MAX's apartment, MAX's boyfriend, who was sleeping in MAX's bed in the inner room, got up and saw the elegantly dressed blonde with long legs. He immediately had a wicked idea and started to flirt with Caroline.

Caroline, of course, wasn't that tasteless. She chased away Max's boyfriend and went to work at the restaurant ahead of time.

After finishing her babysitting job, Max arrived at the restaurant and complained that Caroline hadn't waited for her, adding that she had heard Caroline's miserable state.

MAX was talking about hearing socialite employer Peach describe the dire situation of the Channing family.

Caroline, however, mistakenly believed that Max's boyfriend was the one who had falsely accused him and let slip the information.

Max was clearly furious and didn't believe Caroline's explanation at all, and wanted to break off their Caroline.

If she hadn't gone back and discovered that her boyfriend had brought other women back to fool around while she was away, and realized that Caroline hadn't lied to her, this legendary 2 Broke Girls relationship would probably have ended abruptly.

Adam did indeed have some bold ideas.

But he cares more about MAX's feelings.

I don't want MAX to be unhappy.

Emmm.

Of course, if the time comes and MAX insists on forcing Adam to fulfill the bet, that's a different story.

In short, the very traditional Adam still cares a lot about ancient rituals.

Resigning three times and declining three times is the basic procedure.

"Alright, put me down now."

MAX said with a smile.

"No, let's not."

Adam shook his head and chuckled, "I was just about to tell you that. There are some things you'll need to be mindful of when you live on the estate..."

As he spoke, he told Max about precautions such as Poison Ivy Rash.

Upon hearing about the symptoms and causes of Poison Ivy Rash, Max shuddered, looking around at the surrounding grass with unease, and said, "Is it really that serious?"

"Even a renowned doctor like Dr. Montgomery has fallen victim to this disease without realizing it."

Adam laughed and said, "Anyway, just be careful. If you get infected, you'll be the one who suffers."

"Damn it!"

MAX cursed, "Everything has its pros and cons!"

"This is an objective law of natural development."

Adam comforted him, saying, "Just be careful."

"Is this why you've been holding me?"

MAX tilted his head back and looked at him sideways.

"Otherwise what?"

Adam, standing alone under the moon, shrugged.

"I thought you were showing off your strength."

MAX complained.

You're overthinking it.

Adam said in a serious tone, "I'm here to protect you from pain, and to make you happy."

"Alright."

Max smiled and accepted the explanation, then asked, "Is Caroline going to continue working as a waitress?"

What did she say?

Adam laughed.

"Of course she doesn't want to be a waitress."

MAX shrugged and said, "If it weren't for the pressure of making a living, who would want to work as a waitress? Especially someone like Caroline with that background."

"Um."

Adam nodded and pondered, "She's been doing this for a while now, and she's experienced everything she needed to. Now that she's gone through this, there's really no need for her to go back to being a waitress."

"You mean she can end it?"

Max was thrilled, very happy for Caroline.

"In my opinion, it would be best to work for another year and a half, or even three to five years."

Adam laughed and said, "Let everyone see her misery, release their hatred, and then forget about her, but it still depends on you! If you really don't want her to be like this, then let her work with you. You focus on creating content, and she will be responsible for operations and administration. Together, you can make Peppa Pig the best it can be."

"Then I'll discuss it with her again."

Upon hearing this, MAX hesitated for a moment. "Let's see what she says."

"Actually, working as a waiter or waitress is still necessary."

Adam suggested, "However, we can compromise for now. She can work as a waitress for half a day and spend the rest of her time helping you set up the studio. I believe she has the determination to balance her time well."

It's just a matter of sleeping a little less.

I remember you used to work two or three part-time jobs every day and only slept three hours a day.

If you can do it, so can she!

In the original timeline, they worked together as waitresses, hoping to save money to expand their cupcake business.

My working hours are from 6 pm to 2 am as a waiter in a restaurant.

From 2 a. m. to 4 a. m., they sell cupcakes.

Make cupcakes from 7 a. m. to 11 a. m.

Pastry classes are held from 12 pm to 4 pm to improve the quality of cupcakes.

I only sleep 3 hours a day.

Almost identical to Adam, who possessed a system.

Adam in his previous life was dumbfounded.

With the system's support in this life, my attributes steadily improved and finally surpassed MAX.

Adam could only admire MAX's innate endurance.

Caroline didn't have that much natural endurance, but she persevered.

Nothing more.

Caroline's talent for making money is enough to offset her MAX endurance talent, making her work for an unusually long time as if she's been injected with adrenaline.

These are a real pair of 007s!

"That's true."

MAX nodded with a smile.

She had great faith in Caroline's abilities.

In the original timeline, she told her cheating boyfriend to get lost, which meant that someone said she deserved better.

The boyfriend came out pulling up his pants, still trying to argue, telling Max not to listen to what others said, but to listen to him, and that no one else knew anything!

MAX retorted immediately, "She's a Wharton School of Business graduate! She understands your kind of bullshit perfectly! I really hope I meet her soon!"

Afterwards, when it came to various business ideas, MAX relied entirely on Caroline's actions, while MAX just quietly made cakes. Caroline apologized for not being able to help, and MAX comforted her, telling her to get some rest.

They each have their own roles and responsibilities, and that's fine.

One is in charge of production technology.

One is responsible for market operations.

A typical entrepreneurial duo, a match made in heaven, a perfect partnership!
