Everly knew even if she withdrew the message, she was like covering her ears and stealing a bell.
She quickly typed with trembling hands.
Everly: I'm sorry. I made a mistake. I don't mean a one-night stand.
The more urgent you were, the more mistakes you would make. Anyway, after Everly sent the next message, she felt more regretful.
She felt she merely added insult to injury.
As expected, Maverick replied.
When Everly saw the reply, she threw her phone on the bedside table. Her face turned red. She thought it was enough, so she turned off her phone. It was a temporary escape.
But the screen notification filled her mind and made her crazy.
Maverick replied, "If you want, I agree. No matter how many times you want, I agree."
Everly didn't what to do.
Just gave her a knife.
She wanted to kill herself.
...
Everly could not fall asleep.
So did Maverick. He felt anxious.
Everly suddenly mentioned the one-night stand. But she would not want to do such a thing.
Maverick was meticulous. Combined with the inexplicable questions Everly had asked him just now, he could guess that she would not suddenly accept him. Something must happen.
He might not know her well.
Even Everly was drunk and slept with him five years ago, she would never have the courage to say such words to him at this time.
Did she finally come round?
Maverick kept thinking. He became more anxious.
Now he didn't care what Everly had experienced and what kind of man she married in the past five years.
Sometimes people might be landed in a predicament.
No matter she was good or bad and what happened to her, you were not willing to bring it up. You just wanted to put her deeply in your heart.
What's more, you wanted to give her all your love.
He got up and went to the balcony to smoke. He was thinking about how she would face him if she remembered everything.
He thought of what Everly usually acted. When facing him, she sometimes was unreasonable and sometimes was submissive.
Maverick narrowed his eyes and dusted off his cigarette. His mind was full of Everly. He smiled and puffed out the smoke.
He murmured to himself, 'Next time I'll teach you a lesson in the bed, then you won't forget it anymore.'
...
Maybe influenced by the messages Maverick sent, Everly tossed and turned. When she finally fell asleep, she kept dreaming.
All the dreams were about Maverick.
Everly felt was going to be crazy.
When she woke up the next day, she felt dizzy. She felt pain in her lower abdomen. She checked the date. It seemed to be the period. She went to the bathroom and took a look. She was right.
She always felt weak on the first day.
She had handed the resignation letter to Maverick, but he refused to approve it. Today was a normal working day.
Everly thought this matter had to be resolved.
Beth had to go to work today. When they were having breakfast, Everly said to Beth, "I'll go to the company with you later. I'll go to the personnel department."
Everly got a car from the garage and asked Beth to drive.
After getting in the car, Everly asked Beth, "Are you really have an apartment?"
"Of course."
"That's good. Don't stay in the hotel."
Beth said, "I just want to avoid that one. I indeed have an apartment."
Everly, "If Lawrence really goes too far, just tell me. There are laws in this world. Don't suffer alone."
Beth turned the steering wheel. She bantered, "Lawrence is quite afraid of Maverick. How about you putting in a good word for me in front of Maverick?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Everly couldn't bear such words at the moment. She became strained.
"Then why do you blush?"
"No, I'm not."
"Stop lying. Just admit."
"Concentrate on driving!"
They arrived at the Lamont Group.
It was still early. When Everly got out of the car, Beth was parking.
Everly stood at the door of the elevator. Many colleagues arrived at this time. Working at such a big company, many people had private cars and drove to work.
Therefore, quite a number of employees arrived at the elevator entrance.
Everly had only worked in a short time here and didn't get familiar with her colleagues. At this time, she was standing at the elevator entrance. She found four or five people pointing at her and talking about her in a low voice.
Everly frowned. She turned to look at them. They were all female colleagues. When they saw her doubtful look, they didn't feel ashamed of backbiting.
A bold one stepped forward and looked at Everly. She said with sarcasm, "Ms. Everly, you don't need to act like you are very capable. We didn't mention the name. Besides, we only talked in private. Isn't it too disgusting for you to do that?"
