A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 49

Everly didn't know if Jayden had said anything to Maverick.

However, she still chose to go upstairs because she was really anxious to get her phone back.

She knew that they had to go out at night. When Maverick came to open the door, his hair was still wet. It seemed that he had just finished his shower.

It was precisely because of this that Everly was sensitively aware of the scent on Maverick when she approached.

It was the smell of sea salt.

The smell was quite refreshing and unique, easy to be noticed this time. Perhaps it was because he didn't smoke or drink.

Everly suddenly remembered that she forgot to check what brand of shampoo Maverick used since she had clearly taken a picture of it in his office suite last time. However, she had been too busy.

Everly still had no clue why she was so sensitive to this smell alone.

The smell was so familiar to her that she knew she had met it before.

However, she was still unable to figure out what it was.

Maverick wasn't in his usual suit. He wore some casual clothes when he opened the door for her. But he said nothing about the phone or inviting her her in.

Earlier in the car, there was something embarrassing between them. And now ... what did he ask her here for?

Also Everly didn't want to go in.

She stood at the door and said awkwardly, "Mr. Maverick, where is my phone? Well, I have a lot of materials to read later. And I have to be out with you tonight. I think I need my phone to do that."

At this time, Maverick had walked into the entrance.

Everly's voice wasn't low. She was sure that Maverick could hear her, so she just held the door with one hand, standing there and waiting. She still didn't want to go in.

Five minutes has passed and there was still no sign of Maverick. He didn't come out again to give her back the phone.

Everly was a little embarrassed. But she couldn't shout at the president and ask him to bring out her phone, so she finally mustered the courage and set her foot in.

This room was completely different from the one she lived in. It was as big as the three rooms downstairs combined.

After Everly entered, she found Maverick sitting behind a table in a room to the side.

He was concentrated on the computer in front of him. It looked like he was working.

Everly noticed with her sharp eyes that her cell phone was right next to the man's hand.

Thinking for a while, Everly walked to that direction.

So far she didn't receive any new orders from Maverick. Now she was really hungry as they left quite early. But Maverick had no intention of telling her what to do next, she'd better take her phone back first.

However, her hand was suddenly pressed down by the man.

His big and warm palm directly pressed down on the back of her hand.

The feeling of their skin touching made Everly's heartbeat beat like crazy. What happened before in the car immediately flashed through her mind.

Everly wasn't some teenager girl anymore who didn't know anything.

Actually, she should be partly responsible for the situation at that time. The reason that Maverick felt something was because of her.

Even though she acted with a clear conscience in front of Jayden, Everly herself knew very well that when she was alone with Maverick, their relationship was somewhat shady.

Therefore, she felt a little guilty about the rumors posted on the company forums.

Did she like Maverick?!

No, of course not.

However, she seemed to be unable to restrain herself every time. Just like now, her heartbeat went erratic and her eyes were flinching from his.

This was something that had never happened before.

She had a lot of male friends. When she was abroad, her foreign friends were open and often hugged her, about which she was never nervous.

Everly shook off Maverick's hand as if she had been electrocuted.

Incidentally, she grabbed her phone and took two steps back.

" ... If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Are you still angry?" The man behind her suddenly spoke.
