A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 51

Everly felt flustered for no reason.

She could feel that the man beside her fell utterly cold and that coldness could freeze her in a second.

Her hand holding the phone trembled slightly.

But soon, a voice rang in her heart, "What's there to be afraid of?"

"You are just his subordinate."

He had just told her that the kiss was the result of impulse.

Thinking about it, Everly said to the man on her phone, "I'm on a business trip now, so I can't watch the movie with you."

As she spoke, she walked towards the door.

When her hand touched the handle of the door and was to open it, Maverick pressed it down. Everly was stunned and looked at him in confusion.

When Stanley heard that she was on a business trip, he asked, "Are you on a business trip with Maverick?"

Everly gritted her teeth and said, "Yes."

Sometimes, she had to suspect that if Stanley worshipped Maverick. Upon mentioning Maverick, he would be filled with excitement.

"Well, then, get back to work. Contact me when you come back, okay?"

At this time, Everly couldn't say no, so she agreed, "I have things to do now, so I have to go."

"Okay. Wish you well. Goodbye."

Everly put away her phone and looked at Maverick.

Perhaps it was because she had answered a phone call, the amorousness and embarrassment from earlier had almost disappeared by now.

She pursed her lips and whispered, "Maverick, what do you mean?"

"The impulse I'm talking about isn't about me kissing you. It's about me taking your phone on the plane." Maverick's face darkened. Although he was explaining, his tone was a bit annoyed. "But Everly, I don't regret it because I really want to smash your phone. How many men do you have good terms with?"

The impulse he was talking about wasn't the kiss.

...

Everly was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks quickly burned.

But now that she had passed that point, she was very calm, and she could think clearly.

"I don't care about what happened on the plane, but you should really pay attention to emotion management. I'm your secretary, not your scapegoat. Also, I don't need to report to you about my friends, right?"

She paused for a moment and then quickly said, "But what happened just now... I think it was just an impulse. We are single and alone in the same room. We are both adults, and I won't ... care much about it. An explanation will do, I...!"

Before she could finish, Maverick pulled her into his embrace.

The strong smell of sea salt from his body covered her face, and she was in a trance again.

"I will only say this once."

"I don't have much time to find an excuse for kissing you, and you don't have to remind me that you're my subordinate, Everly..."

He called her by her name.

His deep and sexy voice was no longer as lustful as before.

However, for some reason, the word "Everly" would always sound arousing as long as spoken by him.

He said, "When I look at you, you are just a woman."

"Think again, and answer my first question. With what dare you play bossy in front of me?"
