The Queen's Back

Chapter 267

When Mona neared the office, she remembered that when she was framed for plagiarism by Molly, her former colleagues in the Design Department had spoken up for her on Twitter. Thinking of this, she told Haley to buy some coffee and desserts from the cafe beside

Clem Group and asked the staff to send them to the Design Department later.

After Mona arrived at Clem Group, she took Haley to the CEO's elevator and pressed the button on the top floor to go to Maxwell's office.

At the door, Haley was smart enough and didn't follow Moná over.

Mona tidied her hair at the door of Maxwell's office before knocking twice. "Maxwell, I've brought you lunch."

The naughty voice came from the door. Maxwell's hand that was signing the contract paused, and the corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile. "Come in!"

As he finished speaking, the smile on Maxwell's face disappeared. He wanted to let Mona know he was still angry.

Mona came in and saw Maxwell frowning. She thought, 'Fine, my husband is still mad at me. Fortunately, I've made lunch to soothe him.'

"Honey, are you done? I'm here to have lunch with you." Mona smiled. She placed the lunchbox on the coffee table and walked toward Maxwell.

When she got closer, she realized Maxwell was still reading the documents. He did not even look at her. Mona's slender arms wrapped around Maxwell's neck as her eyes glanced at the papers on the desk.

Mona said softly, "Honey, you ignored me. Let me ask you this. Do you think the documents are more important than me? If you answer correctly, you'll get a reward. If you give the wrong answer, you sleep alone tonight."

Mona's hand roamed across Maxwell's face. It was neither light nor heavy, just enough to make Maxwell feel itchy.

Touched by Mona, Maxwell immediately put down the documents in his hands. He wrapped his big hand around Mona's waist and let her sit on his lap.

Mona wrapped her arms around Maxwell's neck and smiled. "Tell me now."

Maxwell answered, "You're more important."

Almost as soon as Maxwell finished speaking, the kiss landed on his lips. Mona imitated Maxwell's usual technique and slowly rubbed against his lips, savoring them carefully.

After the kiss, Mona went limp in Maxwell's arms. She had no strength left in her.

""Honey, it's time for lunch," Mona said with a blush.

Maxwell smiled, "Okay."

At the door, Nigel was still hesitating to bring lunch to Maxwell. Thinking Mona was still inside, Nigel was afraid of interrupting his boss and Mona's happy moments, so he stood at the door. When Haley came out to use the toilet, she saw Nigel pacing back and forth at the door. She walked over curiously and asked, "Why are you standing here?"

Nigel looked at the takeaway and said, "I'm wondering if I should bring lunch to Mr. Carter and Mrs. Carter." Haley asked, "This is for Mr. Carter?"

Nigel nodded. "Yeah."

"Give it to me," Haley said as she took the lunch box from Nigel's hand.

She opened it and saw her favorite chicken drumsticks. They looked delicious and seemed different from how the cook at home made them.

"You, Haley, why did you open it? This is for Mr. Carter," Nigel asked in disbelief.

"I opened it to eat them, of course." As she spoke, Haley had taken a bite of one chicken drumstick.

She said while eating, "Mona has cooked for Mr. Carter at home. Do you think Mr. Carter would eat the takeaway you give him or Mona's homemade lunch? Undoubtedly, he would choose Mona's cooking. "Then wouldn't the chicken drumsticks be a waste? If no one eats them, I'll help you finish them. Nigel, you don't have to thank me. I'll be shy."

Nigel said, "Uh, what you said makes sense. It turns out Mrs. Carter has prepared lunch for Mr. Carter. I didn't see it when she came. By the way, is this box enough? There's another box beside it."

Nigel thought, 'It's all thanks to Haley's reminder. Otherwise, if I knocked on the door, I would disturb Mr. Carter and Mrs. Carter's loving time. And I might be despised by Mr. Carter!'

Haley immediately nodded vigorously. "Yes, I want more. These chicken drumsticks are delicious."

Nigel looked at Haley and thought, 'This girl is small but can eat like a horse. It's hard to believe!"

After Mona and Maxwell had lunch in the office, Mona asked, "Honey, what do you think of the food I made for you?"

Maxwell nodded. "Not bad."

Hearing Maxwell's words, Mona revealed a faint smile. "Honey, I'm happy that you like it. I'll bring you lunch tomorrow. You are not mad now, are you? It was my bad this time. From now on, I'll tell you before I do anything. I'm not used to it when you're mad at me." Maxwell listened to Mona's soft voice and did not want to be angry with her anymore. He said, "I'm not mad anymore, but there won't be a next time. Don't do anything so dangerous again."

Maxwell had subconsciously squeezed the toothpaste for Mona in the morning. Remembering he still had to be mad at Mona, he put the toothpaste on his toothbrush.

It was the same when he cooked breakfast. So, Maxwell ate breakfast for two. He was too full.

Mona said she was not used to it, and neither was Maxwell. He would feel bad if he did not reconcile with Mona.

Presumably, Mona would not dare to do such a dangerous thing again

Mona nodded. "I promise. The next time I do something so dangerous, I'll tell you!"

Maxwell corrected her. "Huh? You're not allowed to do it."

"Alright, alright. I won't do it again," Mona smiled as she thought My husband is so easy to coax. I can settle it with a meal. Maxwell said, "That's more like it!"

"Maxwell, however, things on the Internet are serious now. It has affected Carter Group's share price, which keeps falling. Does this have a huge effect on Carter Group?" Mona asked.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

She was well aware of Maxwell's ambition. He wanted to strengthen Clem Group and find an opportunity to merge with

Carter Group.

This time, the scandal of Gordon, the person in charge of Carter Group, affected Carter Group.

Maxwell shook his head. "Yes, but it's not a big deal. It won't cause any fundamental damage. Grandpa will resolve it soon."

A few days later, Mona discovered the solution Maxwell mentioned was to let Gordon marry Molly, and both families had agreed.

Molly was married as the daughter of the Reed family overseas. The Reed family's only daughter, Lydia, was dead. So, Molly was the Reed family's only daughter. If nothing went wrong, the Reed family's assets would all be Molly's in the future. The marriage between Gordon and Molly could be considered a strong alliance.

After her parents heard about Molly's scandal from overseas, they rushed back from Yosneosiland overnight.

Under the pressure of the Carter family and the benefits given by the Reed family, Molly was released after staying in prison for several days.

When Molly saw the sun outside again, she was a little nervous. She kept calling Mona a bitch.

When Molly's parents saw Molly like that, they felt sorry and resentful. After saying goodbye to Gordon's parents, they returned to the villa in Nathontown. Along the way, Molly kept cursing Mona. She was still trembling and he was a little crazy.
