A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 36

Of course, Everly still didn't know about the gossip.

She stood before Lucas and sighed. She didn't want to waste any time, so she said bluntly, "It is a bit complicated. However, Mr. Lucas, I really didn't know your relationship with Lamont Group ... and, exactly, with Maverick."

After a few seconds, she continued, "You know, I really didn't know how your family was during our years together, so you don't have to think otherwise."

Lucas was stunned, "You call my cousin 'Maverick'?"

"Does he have another name? It's so strange. It's just a name, so why can't I call him that?

Seeing Lucas was shocked, Everly wondered why he freaked out like this.

Lucas gave a sarcastic smile, "Are you really stupid, or are you playing dumb? Actually, I think you were slow of wit when you were at school. At that time, I hinted at you many times, but you didn't seem to understand, and you never knew what I implied."

"Stop catching up." Everly smiled and said, "Forget it. It has been so many years, and that's all over. I'm just explaining it to you seriously. I don't know anything. When Lamont Group purchased LAL, I was an employee of LAL, so I'm transferred here now."

Lucas finally figured out what happened, "I see."

"Yes, that's all. We will meet often in the future. And we're still friends. I should go to work now." Everly said in a relaxed tone.

"Do you know? Even in the Lamont family, very few people dare to call him by his name."

Lucas said in a low voice, and what he said echoed at the empty back staircase. He felt resentful and thought it was somewhat incredulous, "As to LAL, I didn't understand why Lamont Group wants to purchase such a heavily indebted branch. After all, it should belong to the Rice family."

"You're quite a powerful woman," Lucas said.

Everly was not stupid, so she recognized what he implied.

"What exactly are you trying to say? Work is work. I've already made it clear. I really didn't know it before."

"You're not suitable for the Lamont family." To Everly's surprise, Lucas wanted to arrange it for her to be transferred again. He continued, "My cousin is not someone who you can flirt with. Just to be on the safe side, you should resign."

For some reason, Lucas's eyes fell upon on Everly's skirt.

His eyes were as sharp as needles, and Everly almost got hurt. He continued, "Your brother is so rich and SY Corp is not bad. Why do you have to stay in Lamont Group? You said you don't know anything, but I don't believe it. Everly, Maverick won't like you. He doesn't even like the girls of the Kahl Family, and he won't be responsible for you."

Everly's face became livid with anger.

Lucas didn't stop, "This dress must be expensive. You can afford to a dress of tens of thousands, but how could you work here as a secretary and be gossiped about?"

"My brother is rich. That's right. SY Corp is a listed company now and it is not inferior to Lamont Group. You're right, I could be the princess of SY Corp. After all, my brother has always doted on me." Everly sneered and said angrily, "But I'm different from those who like to rely on their relatives. I like to earn money on my own to support myself. Mr. Lucas, since you are free to lecture me, you might as well do your job well. Mr. Maverick is a ruthless person and I am his secretary from now on. Don't get criticized at the meeting. It's shameful."

Lucas got stunned.

Everly didn't want to talk with him anymore. After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the stairway.

Lucas stood there, and his chest couldn't stop heaving.

He wasn't a magnanimous man. If he was good, it would be impossible for him to cheat on Everly. He did a lot of things because of lust, so he was just a snobbish and mercenary man.

Did he still like Everly?

The answer was yes. She was more beautiful now than she was in school.

They had been together for five years, but he failed to sleep with her. And now, she was back and was working for his cousin, so the more Lucas thought about it, the angrier he felt, and he was unwilling to accept it.

He punched the wall fiercely.
