A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 55

Everly could tell that the dinner tonight was more or less up to no good.

There must be a reason for Maverick coming here with willingness.

Sometimes, she did not even realize that although she had only known this man for less than a month, his way of doing things and the boldness of vision were quite to her liking.

For example, right now, if it was someone else, she would probably be scared.

They were just discussing business, but these people were like going to war. Their eyes were filled with contempt and fierceness. As a girl, how could she not be afraid?

However, with Maverick right beside her, she felt inexplicably calm.

The man in chief was sitting right in the center. With the bald head and the loose suit pants he wearing, the fat on his waist was exposed once he stood up. The suit on him was just out of place.

"Mr. Maverick, come here, take a seat."

He said politely, but his tone wasn't so polite.

The expression on Maverick's face did not change at all. He walked over and sat down, letting Everly sit beside him.

She still had his suit jacket held in both her arms.

With Maverick around, she would only be seen as an assistant or something like that and these people wouldn't place eyes on her right the first time.

Smart as she did, Everly could tell something from the scene.

This bald guy who looked like a ruffian was the leader. There might be someone behind him since he was acting so arrogant. Would it be the Rice family?

Maverick didn't seem to be scared of the Rice family. He must have weighed all the interests before he came here today.

What she thought was exactly correct.

But Maverick had his measurement.

As for why she came with him, she couldn't figure out why.

Maverick didn't want to waste much time in such a place. He just came here for a formality. As someone wanted to see him do this, he could cooperate.

After all, he couldn't go too far in many things since he hadn't got what he wanted.

Seeing him clasping his fingers against the wall of the cup, the bald guy paused as he was about to pour the wine for him.

Maverick didn't have many expressions on his face since he came in. Only then did he slowly raise his head. Having cast an indifferent glance at the bald, he said as if something had just come to his mind, "Mr... Chace, right?"

"Mr. Maverick, my surname is Sumner, Chace Sumner. Something's wrong indeed. I'm sorry to have you come in person this time." Chace nodded with a smile.

Maverick rubbed his long finger on the rim of the cup and said in a deep voice, "It is true that business has give-and-take. We all should take responsibility if things go wrong. Mr. Sumner, just say it if you have any requests."

Chace chuckled, "Mr. Maverick, I believe two percentage is far too less than you care."

"The more I care about money, the richer I am. Isn't it?"

"Hey, come on. Back then, when we signed the contract, the price was relatively low. Right? But the price increased a lot in the past two years. It's not easy for us though."

"It doesn't mean that you can break the rules."

"Mr. Maverick, rules can be properly amended. Besides, you should know that in the entire Weirdale, only I, have so many goods."

Maverick sneered, "Mr. Sumner, I know where you are from. But as for now, you are something of a celebrity. It is not very nice of you to act like this."

That really wasn't a polite manner of speaking.

Everly was amazed hearing these. Obviously, Maverick did not treat this person as a real opponent from the beginning. Every word from him was just impolite.

Especially the last sentence.

Not surprisingly, Chace's face changed.
