Everly looked unhappy. Near her side, Maverick could keenly sense her resistance.
"You are jealous."
Maverick said that affirmatively, feeling satisfied inside.
However, Everly was in a bad mood. Elenore played a trick last time and Everly was still unhappy about it, yet now Maverick and Elenore still had connections.
'Can you stop contacting each other?' Sure enough, those words remained unspoken. Everly's pride would not allow her to make such an unreasonable request.
She knew it well that to Maverick, that woman was not just like the Kahl sisters, Carolina and Miley. Instead, the woman had an interest and a past that she had not participated in with Maverick.
Women's intuition was sometimes very accurate.
"She likes you," Everly teased.
"That's not important," Maverick did not care. Being disturbed, he was cold in his tone. Perhaps he didn't even notice the eerie coldness that flowed when mentioning Elenore.
In fact, although Elenore didn't show it, Maverick was aware of her feelings somehow. He didn't like to waste his feelings on unimportant people. Moreover, between him and Elenore, there's nothing could happen anymore.
The difference in thinking between men and women was revealed at this moment. Everly thought that since there was nothing between Maverick and Elenore, Maverick should answer the phone to her face. However, in Maverick's logic, since the person was unimportant, there was no need to waste time answering the phone.
There was no absolute right or wrong. It's just that being in love was easy, but to get along well was hard. Their relationship had advanced by leaps and bounds, but they still needed to get to know each other more.
Everly still remembered how her character was questioned last time. Although she was no longer angry, she still kept the thing in her heart. It was as if although the scumbag was nothing to her now, the scars of being betrayed were still there.
The wounds of the body could heal but the scars of the spirit would not.
In Everly's ears, Maverick's tone was unpleasant. It was as if he was unhappy and impatient.
Originally, she wanted to apologize for her behavior and felt that she should not talk about this matter. But now, she decided not to do so.
Supported by her hands, Everly tried to get off the table. Just now, she was carried to the desk by Maverick when they were making out. Now, unexpectedly, Maverick moved faster and blocked her way. Her legs slipped to the edge and were stopped by Maverick's big palm. And he just squeezed in, strong and overbearing.
And there's also some ... inappropriate shyness.
"I'm going to rest. Get out of the way."
Everly widened her eyes. She couldn't retreat. She didn't want to advance either. She could only yell at him in this unimposing posture. With her soft voice and her blushed face, it was more like flirting.
However, Maverick held her waist and pressed her into his arms. They were tightly cuddled in thin clothes and every inch of their body is felt.
Everly called out in a low voice, her hands on the table shaking, and she almost collapsed.
Maverick hugged her and took the phone over by the other hand.
He did not like unreasonable women. In the past, he had seen the Kahl sisters getting jealous and felt bored. It turned out that he had not met the bane of his life. Even though Everly's temper was inexplicable, he still loved her so much and felt that she was even more adorable.
'You are done. You are so done. Maverick.'
"Come and pick it up."
Maverick handed the phone to Everly, and Elenore's name was still flashing on the screen.
Elenore's appearance appeared in Everly's mind. Although they did not meet face to face, Everly was very sure that Elenore was a very shrewd woman whose eyes were filled with ambition and materialism.
Everly's gaze moved away from the phone and landed on Maverick's face. Putting Everly on the phone, was Maverick making Everly stake her claim?
"I'm not your secretary now," Everly said, not answering the phone.
Maverick almost laughed due to this little woman. He pinched her in a punishing way. He didn't use much strength, but it was enough to dampen Everly's arrogance.
"Miss Elenore, it's so late. If it's not something important, let's talk about it tomorrow." Everly did not answer nor deny it.
"Miss Everly, Maverick doesn't like women to meddle in his affairs. I advise you not to do something like answer his phone without permission next time. I do have something important to tell him. It's about Candy. Please let Maverick answer the phone."
'Specialist,' Everly evaluated Elenore in her heart.
The women surrounding Maverick were not simple.
Everly had a will to fight in her heart now, and the flames were high, but she still respected Maverick and gestured with her eyes to ask if he wanted to answer.
Unexpectedly, Maverick shook his head without any hesitation.
"It's the same if you tell me. Miss Elenore, Maverick is busy. However, I think you must have something to tell since it's so late and you still called." Everly said in a soft voice.
Elenore knew that Everly was correct. Maverick just did not want to pick up her phone, but sometimes the truth was more difficult to accept than a lie.
"It is too important. I can't trust other people. I have to personally tell Maverick," Elenore said steadily, "so ask him to call me back,".
Everly wanted to say something, but in the end, she did not say it.
Other people?
To Maverick, Elenore was the other people.
Hanging up the phone, Elenore was so angry that her nails, which had just been made, were broken at the root.
The subordinates came in to report at this time and saw Elenore, who was as frost as a sculpture.
"We just got an important piece of news. Maverick's decision-making power of the mercenary is planned to be transferred to his half-brother, Zane."
