Hendrix was doubtful about the relationship between Maverick and Everly before. But now he was sure that Maverick had a crush on Everly because Maverick asked this question.
Maverick wouldn't say anything about whatever he didn't care about.
Instead of lighting his cigarette, Hendrix played with it and asked, "Do you like Everly?"
Maverick looked up.
Maverick and Hendrix looked at each other, calm and restrained.
Maverick didn't want to explain, but Hendrix was Everly's elder brother. So Maverick admitted, "It's what you think."
Hendrix was very angry but laughed, "Do you have a crush on my sister?"
Maverick didn't answer.
He kept silent.
Hendrix had mixed feelings. For a brother like Hendrix, whose sister was liked by a man like Hendrix, he would sure feel regretful and angry.
But Hendrix knew that if Maverick insisted, he couldn't stop Maverick.
However, didn't Maverick care about the problems hindering their love?
Hendrix pondered for a moment and said before Maverick could answer, "Then I'll get straight to it. I don't know much about you. But I know Everly well. She is innocent. She seems to be independent, but she isn't. She isn't a strong woman. She is honest, frank, proud, emotional, and stubborn."
Hendrix lit the cigarette and started to smoke. He said worriedly, "I don't think you and Everly will be a great couple. But I know I can't stop you and I won't. I just hope that you can think carefully about it"
Maverick remained silent.
Hendrix didn't care, "You have an engagement to Carolina or Miley. It's hard to break off the engagement. If you fall in love with Everly, the Kahl family will think that you and I are aligned. I don't care. But Everly is innocent. Someone hurt Edmond and Candy this time. I'm not sure if Everly will be the next target. I warn you. If anything happens to Everly, I definitely won't let you go."
Hendrix was about to leave.
Maverick remained silent for a long time. But he started to talk when Hendrix was at the door.
His voice was a little hoarse, "Believe it or not, I won't allow anyone to hurt Everly."
Maverick didn't believe him.
"Sometimes I just underestimated my influence." Maverick sighed gently as if he had figured out many things. He said in a low voice, "Sometimes you have to do it. You won't understand it."
You don't know how it feels to be uncontrollable.
Maverick fell in love the moment he saw Everly.
...
Everly took a shower in the evening. She came out of the bathroom and checked the time. It was just a little after eight o'clock.
Everly was almost free in the afternoon, but she didn't want to go to the company. She had handed in her resignation. But out of work ethic, she was supposed to continue to work until Maverick had a new secretary.
For at least half a month.
Everly sat on the bed and dried her hair. Suddenly, she thought of something and touched her lips.
Maverick kissed Everly so hard that Everly felt as if his smell was still on the lips.
Everly browsed the Movements idly.
Suddenly something occurred to her. She opened the photo album and found the picture of the shower gel in Maverick's office.
