Perhaps it was out of woman's intuition, or, deeply inside, she was willing to pick up this call.
Moreover, the caller was extremely persistent for the implacable purpose.
Everly answered it and placed it near to her ear. As soon as she spoke, the other side quickly fell silent. A moment later, she heard a woman's soft and gentle voice. "Excuse me, who are you?"
Although it was just five simple words, coupled with a puzzling tone, for some reason, Everly felt somewhat suffocated.
It was probably the sensitive sixth sense of a woman.
Everly thought for a while and replied, "Hi, this is Maverick's phone, because he is not here now, so I picked it up. Is there anything important? Or, maybe you could contact him later."
"Who are you?"The woman seemed a little aggressive. "Are you Maverick's assistant? I heard from him that he has changed a female secretary."
Everly's breath sank a little. She did not want to deny the fact that she felt awfully uncomfortable when she heard those words especially at this moment.
But at least, she had been struggling in the workplace for a few years, so she was not that impatient. After all, what does Maverick mean to her?
In the past, Maverick and Everly did not know each other. Therefore, she had no idea if there were other women around him. But she would choose to believe Maverick's words. She was pretty clear that there were huge crowds of women chasing after him, which was completely common. Therefore, she did not need to panic.
"I am not his secretary."
"Then, who are you?"
"It's Maverick you looking for? Why are you so concerned about who I am?"
"There are a lot of strange people around Maverick. I am just worried."
Everly sneered, "Then you can ask him later. I am also a little strange, that is I see no need to introduce myself for a stranger. You can call later. And I will also retell your words to Maverick."
The woman probably didn't expect for the answer. She originally wanted to say something more, but Everly directly hung up.
No matter how calm Everly was earlier on the phone, she felt a little unhappy now.
Who was that woman after all? The way she spoke seemed that she knew Maverick very well. Female secretary and lots of strange people, was I Everly that kind of person too?
She was not in mood. In addition, she had just woken up and had been tormented badly last night. Now she was even more depressed.
But concerning that today was the birthday of two children. Besides, the loving little girl was also born on the same day as her son. She thought that no matter what, there was no need to be angry on this occasion. She went to the kitchen and began to make cake.
About half an hour later, no sooner than the cake was put into the oven did the sound of a car engine arise from outside.
Soon, from the distant came the voices of two children.
You could vaguely hear Maverick saying a few words from time to time.
"Miss Everly is making a cake in the kitchen," the maid said to Maverick.
