Perhaps it was out of woman's intuition, or, deeply inside, she was willing to pick up this call.
Moreover, the caller was extremely persistent for the implacable purpose.
Everly answered it and placed it near to her ear. As soon as she spoke, the other side quickly fell silent. A moment later, she heard a woman's soft and gentle voice. "Excuse me, who are you?"
Although it was just five simple words, coupled with a puzzling tone, for some reason, Everly felt somewhat suffocated.
It was probably the sensitive sixth sense of a woman.
Everly thought for a while and replied, "Hi, this is Maverick's phone, because he is not here now, so I picked it up. Is there anything important? Or, maybe you could contact him later."
"Who are you?"The woman seemed a little aggressive. "Are you Maverick's assistant? I heard from him that he has changed a female secretary."
Everly's breath sank a little. She did not want to deny the fact that she felt awfully uncomfortable when she heard those words especially at this moment.
But at least, she had been struggling in the workplace for a few years, so she was not that impatient. After all, what does Maverick mean to her?
In the past, Maverick and Everly did not know each other. Therefore, she had no idea if there were other women around him. But she would choose to believe Maverick's words. She was pretty clear that there were huge crowds of women chasing after him, which was completely common. Therefore, she did not need to panic.
"I am not his secretary."
"Then, who are you?"
"It's Maverick you looking for? Why are you so concerned about who I am?"
"There are a lot of strange people around Maverick. I am just worried."
Everly sneered, "Then you can ask him later. I am also a little strange, that is I see no need to introduce myself for a stranger. You can call later. And I will also retell your words to Maverick."
The woman probably didn't expect for the answer. She originally wanted to say something more, but Everly directly hung up.
No matter how calm Everly was earlier on the phone, she felt a little unhappy now.
Who was that woman after all? The way she spoke seemed that she knew Maverick very well. Female secretary and lots of strange people, was I Everly that kind of person too?
She was not in mood. In addition, she had just woken up and had been tormented badly last night. Now she was even more depressed.
But concerning that today was the birthday of two children. Besides, the loving little girl was also born on the same day as her son. She thought that no matter what, there was no need to be angry on this occasion. She went to the kitchen and began to make cake.
About half an hour later, no sooner than the cake was put into the oven did the sound of a car engine arise from outside.
Soon, from the distant came the voices of two children.
You could vaguely hear Maverick saying a few words from time to time.
"Miss Everly is making a cake in the kitchen," the maid said to Maverick.
The man then threw his phone on the table and held Everly in his arms, gazing her directly face to face. "Are you really angry? She is my friend. We are in a quite good relationship. In the past, she helped me and can be viewed a benefactor. However, she is two years older than me. Over the years, we have been in contact occasionally, but not that frequently."
He thought it over and said, "In fact, you should have heard of her too. The most famous skin care products in the world are basically from her company. She is a professional in this field."
Skin care products?
Everly remembered that Beth had helped her investigate the smell of Maverick's shower gel and had told her something.
Everly's heart lurched. She asked, "The shampoo you've been using all the time, is it unavailable on the market?"
Maverick was stunned, but then he nodded.
"It's rather unique, and you've probably used it for many years," "Is this body lotion made by Elenore?" Everly said confidently.
Maverick thought that maybe it was a bad thing, but indeed he did not want to deceive Everly. He sighed and said, "She gave it to me on one of my birthdays. In the beginning, she was indeed preparing to sell it. She just said that she wanted me to use it first. A lot of time and energy has been put to make the shampoo, so she gave it to me as a birthday present. I thought it was not unacceptable, so I used it. The product was quite satisfactory. That taste made me feel quite comfortable. It was just a product, right? I wouldn't think too much about it. Later, when the product was about to go public, something happened and it never appear in the market again."
"It's been so many years, but you don't need to use the same one all the time. So all these years, your shampoo are all from her, right?"
"I kind of prefer the smell. It was true that it has always been provided by someone. Elenore has a formula. You could just find someone to make it."
Everly's tone sounded a little jealousy. "It can't be that there is a problem causing the product cannot go public. It's just she wants to give you the unique one. It's been so many years, and you are coming the raw pawn with me, right?"
