When the woman called that man "Maverick," Jonny thought she was bluffing. But now, it appeared that she really was Maverick Lamont's woman.
He sighed, 'How ill-informed I am! It is said that Maverick is abstinent.'
'But look at him! How can he be not interested in women?'
'The way he looks at that woman is different.'
'But this woman was gorgeous. Otherwise, I couldn't be aroused just because of Sarah's several words.'
However, compared with Johnny's mood at the moment, Sarah was even more shocked.
Maverick Lamont! It was Maverick Lamont!
When Everly called his name, Sarah thought that she was playing tricks.
Sarah had been asking what had happened back then. Now Everly had mentioned Maverick Lamont in front of her. Was she still unwilling to admit it?
'She did everything. But now she pretends to be innocent in front of me.'
'This woman is pretty good at handling such a situation.'
'So, does she want to embarrass me this way?'
Sarah clenched her fists tightly. At this moment, she knew that she lost again, from the way Maverick protected Everly.
Johnny stretched out his hand, prepared to shake with Maverick, but he awkwardly held it in the air. He broke off, not knowing what to do next.
It was clear that Maverick didn't want to shake hands with him.
"Are these the guys who were bullying you?" Maverick looked down at the woman in his arms softly.
Everly said, "Yeah."
Johnny hastened to explain, "It was not bullying! She is your woman, Mr. Maverick. How dare we bully her? Mr. Maverick, this must be a misunderstanding. Why don't we sit down and let me explain?"
Everly didn't say anything. Maverick held her waist with one hand and inserted the other into his trousers pocket.
Today he took his child to the amusement park. Dressing in casual clothes, he looked less domineering compared to the business situation. But at this moment, his eyes were full of sharpness.
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Maverick smiled and asked.
Johnny was stunned, waved his hand hurriedly, and said. "Of course not, Mr. Maverick. No one is as brilliant as you in the business world."
"Then I believe you must be blind."
"Mr. Maverick, what do you mean by that?"
"You know what I mean. Why do you think that I will believe you but not my woman?"
"Mr. Maverick, it's a misunderstanding."
Maverick glanced at the man standing opposite him. He had no impression of him, nor did he know what company he belonged to and what he did. But he knew the guy was not a good one.
He raised his eyebrows. "Repeat your name." He did forget.
"I'm Johnny, Mr. Maverick. My name is Johnny."
"Full name."
"Johnny Grant."
"Where are you came from?"
"The Grant Group." Once Johnny heard Maverick's questions, he became excited and thought that the opportunity had come, "Mr. Maverick, we are a solid wood enterprise. We have been gained some reputation these years. I'd been looking forward to cooperating with you. I think I can supply the high-quality solid wood for the high-grade commercial properties you developed."
Maverick did not answer.
He looked at Everly in his arms again and asked her, "Are you hurt?"
