A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married

Chapter 104 Why Can't I Let You Go?

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?"ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"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.

Maverick never had a female secretary before. After purchasing LAL, he appointed her as his

secretary. No wonder that there would be gossip.

"Mr. Maverick, this is our company's forum, and these are relevant posts. I didn't intend to tell you this

in the beginning, but I think we might try to avert suspicion. Because... I don't know how to say, but I

feel that... it..."

"What do you feel?"

Maverick glanced at the phone and saw the headlines.

He tried not to read the posts, but his eyes filled with mixed emotions.

It seemed that he was so kind and the well-being of these employees was also so good that they could

gossip about their boss after work.

Those headlines were so harsh and eye-catching that the content would be more offensive.

Maverick never cared about what others thought of him.

But he was on the verge of rage because of Everly.

Maverick turned to look at her.

It was clear that she was complaining to him with evidence.

Thinking of this, he suddenly became much better.

"I feel that it has a bad influence." Everly didn't know what Maverick was thinking. She exhaled and

continued, "I don't think it's good to hear about the rumors between the female secretary and the boss.

So, I plan to resign."

She had put away her phone.

Maverick was lost in thought. After a moment, he sneered, "You are my woman. If they slandered you, I

can go public with our relationship."

Everly's heart skipped a beat. She asked, "Our relationship?"

She shook her head, "We have nothing to do with each other."

"Is that so?"

"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?"
