A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 13

However, under the circumstances, Everly felt that she couldn't be frightened.

She tried to calm down. It seemed that Maverick didn't intend to say anything, so she said first, "Take it up with me, not my brother. I'm the one to blame. Besides, you didn't keep your promise, didn't you?"

"Everly!" Hendrix was worried.

'The other day, Everly came out of the suite, saying that he just met Maverick's assistant.'

'It must be an excuse. It seemed that they became enemies at that time.'

'This girl was....'

"Hendrix, you can leave us alone. Mr. Maverick and I have something to talk."

Hendrix didn't move. Maverick was keeping a long face, and he had only said a few words. Hendrix was worried.

Everly knew what Hendrix was thinking, "I'm ... drunk, so I was a little impulsive. Mr. Maverick and I do have something to talk. I'll explain it to you later. You can leave us alone. This is a public place. He's a man of status, so don't worry."

Hendrix wanted to say something.

However, Maverick moved his lips and spoke first, "Hendrix, I won't trade a woman for business benefits. Your sister is an adult."

Hendrix's voice was calm as usual, yet it sounded unpleasant and sarcastic.

"Besides, look at what she's done. What do you think I could do to her?"

Maverick was looking at his own crotch. Hendrix also turned his eyes upon it. Seeing the wine on it, Hendrix coughed to cover the awkward moment.

He agreed to leave them alone.

Before leaving, he whispered to Everly, "I'll wait for you outside."

Everly nodded.

The door closed, and there were only Maverick and Hendrix in the room.

There were fewer people, but it seemed to be more depressing.

Everly looked at the man's crotch.... It was embarrassing, but for some reason, she calmed down.

In fact, she didn't regret it. If Hendrix weren't here, hearing what the people said, she would slap Maverick in the face instead of splashing the wine.

She was trying to do business, persuading Maverick to make investment. However, from what they said, she was like a cheap girl.

'Because he's a man, he can break his promise?'

Everly didn't plan to let it go. She handed the glass of wine over again and said with a smile, "Mr. Maverick, you look mad. Would you like to splash me?"

She thought for a moment, and then put on a faint smile, which he usually did, "I'm not drunk. I did go too far. But what about you, Mr. Maverick?"

Maverick stared at her with cold eyes. He didn't say anything.

Everly felt ill at ease under his frightening gaze.

She frowned, "It's no use glaring at me. You can't kill people with your eyes."

Maverick was speechless.

'What was the woman thinking?'

The man lifted the corner of his mouth. His tone was not so gloomy as before. "Miss Everly, you seem to feel that I owe you, so you rushed in and did all of this to me. With your working attitude, how did you come to where you are?"

Everly felt wronged.

She was not usually like that.

She was pissed off today.
