Anyway, it was all thanks to him.
His words also showed respect for her.
Everly thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for helping me just now."
Maverick reached out and pulled his collar. His action was not very gentle. And he was still very irritable. He sneered, "Do you like this kind of man? Everly, how much do you dislike me? How can you insult me with such a person?"
Everly was confused, "No, I didn't."
"No?"
"Why would I insult you? Don't you think too much?"
"Do I think too much?" Maverick was even angrier, "I am chasing you. You are unwilling to be with me, but you are willing to be involved with that kind of person."
Everly's heart beat faster. His words were peremptory but when she heard that, she seemed to be... a little touched.
"Hey, isn't it good for you to speak ill of him behind his back?" Everly muttered.
After saying that, she regretted it.
It was probably because she didn't know what to say that she said this.
Everly felt that she talked too much and was so pretentious.
Maverick became even angrier and snorted, "Do you think I don't dare to say it before him?"
"No..." What was there that he did not dare to say?
"Don't mention another man before me." His tone sounded like a dissatisfied man.
Everly didn't know how to answer. After thinking about it, she felt that whatever she said would be bad.
She bit her lip and stopped saying.
To prevent saying anything to embarrass him, Everly took out her phone and saw the message that Stanley sent to her.
Everly sighed and bit back the words she would like to have said.
She knew that if she said anything more, she would antagonize Maverick.
Everly was not on friendly terms with Stanley, and Stanley was so crude just now.
She wasn't silly.
She directly put Stanley on the blacklist.
Then she put her phone away.
Maverick had always been in a very low mood. Everly could not figure out what he was thinking. However, it was a rare opportunity for some straight talking.
"Mr. Maverick, I have something to tell you."
"Business?"
"I guess so."
Maverick glanced at her and did not speak, but the meaning was probably to let her go on.
Everly said, "I wasn't too impulsive to resign the secretary last time. I'm not quite capable of the job, so I'm going to resign."
"Why do you think you are not capable?"
Everly thought about it, took out her phone, and went to the online forum.
She had always felt deeply wronged because she had been scolded as a skank without reason. Although she didn't care about it, she was still affected.
Moreover, she didn't have to go through these alone.
"Mr. Maverick, I am a very normal woman, and I have the same emotions and desires, but I don't want people to say that I am your... your pet on a whim. You and I are different."
"How do you know that we are different?"
"We have always been."
"Is it all up to you?" Maverick became serious and fixed his eyes on her, "Everly, why don't you think about who you thought of when you have desires?"
Everly didn't reply.
"It's me."
He said in a confident voice, "Did you forget how you called me by my name when you were drugged? Although I didn't do it, I helped you. When you hugged me, you called my name."
Everly blushed and looked away.
She wanted to refute him and even wanted to scold him.
How could he say these kinds of words flatly and directly?
However, she also knew that what he said was the truth.
When she was drugged, she thought of Maverick.
Maverick pinched her chin and leaned closer to her, "I'm waiting for you to willingly give it to me. But do you think that I have taken a fancy to you on a whim? You think too highly of yourself. If I want to play with a woman, why are you?"
Everly could tell that his words were full of disdain for her.
Everly fumed, "Yes, I am a good-for-nothing. I am not beautiful, gentle, or good. Why are you still unwilling to let me go? Aren't you contradicting yourself?"
Maverick stared at her, wishing he could see through her.
Maverick put on a self-mocking smile, "Yes, who knows? Why don't you tell me why I can't let you go?"
