A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 36

Of course, Everly still didn't know about the gossip.

She stood before Lucas and sighed. She didn't want to waste any time, so she said bluntly, "It is a bit complicated. However, Mr. Lucas, I really didn't know your relationship with Lamont Group ... and, exactly, with Maverick."

After a few seconds, she continued, "You know, I really didn't know how your family was during our years together, so you don't have to think otherwise."

Lucas was stunned, "You call my cousin 'Maverick'?"

"Does he have another name? It's so strange. It's just a name, so why can't I call him that?

Seeing Lucas was shocked, Everly wondered why he freaked out like this.

Lucas gave a sarcastic smile, "Are you really stupid, or are you playing dumb? Actually, I think you were slow of wit when you were at school. At that time, I hinted at you many times, but you didn't seem to understand, and you never knew what I implied."

"Stop catching up." Everly smiled and said, "Forget it. It has been so many years, and that's all over. I'm just explaining it to you seriously. I don't know anything. When Lamont Group purchased LAL, I was an employee of LAL, so I'm transferred here now."

Lucas finally figured out what happened, "I see."

"Yes, that's all. We will meet often in the future. And we're still friends. I should go to work now." Everly said in a relaxed tone.

"Do you know? Even in the Lamont family, very few people dare to call him by his name."

Lucas said in a low voice, and what he said echoed at the empty back staircase. He felt resentful and thought it was somewhat incredulous, "As to LAL, I didn't understand why Lamont Group wants to purchase such a heavily indebted branch. After all, it should belong to the Rice family."

"You're quite a powerful woman," Lucas said.

Everly was not stupid, so she recognized what he implied.

"What exactly are you trying to say? Work is work. I've already made it clear. I really didn't know it before."

"You're not suitable for the Lamont family." To Everly's surprise, Lucas wanted to arrange it for her to be transferred again. He continued, "My cousin is not someone who you can flirt with. Just to be on the safe side, you should resign."

For some reason, Lucas's eyes fell upon on Everly's skirt.

His eyes were as sharp as needles, and Everly almost got hurt. He continued, "Your brother is so rich and SY Corp is not bad. Why do you have to stay in Lamont Group? You said you don't know anything, but I don't believe it. Everly, Maverick won't like you. He doesn't even like the girls of the Kahl Family, and he won't be responsible for you."

Everly's face became livid with anger.

Lucas didn't stop, "This dress must be expensive. You can afford to a dress of tens of thousands, but how could you work here as a secretary and be gossiped about?"

"My brother is rich. That's right. SY Corp is a listed company now and it is not inferior to Lamont Group. You're right, I could be the princess of SY Corp. After all, my brother has always doted on me." Everly sneered and said angrily, "But I'm different from those who like to rely on their relatives. I like to earn money on my own to support myself. Mr. Lucas, since you are free to lecture me, you might as well do your job well. Mr. Maverick is a ruthless person and I am his secretary from now on. Don't get criticized at the meeting. It's shameful."

Lucas got stunned.

Everly didn't want to talk with him anymore. After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the stairway.

Lucas stood there, and his chest couldn't stop heaving.

He wasn't a magnanimous man. If he was good, it would be impossible for him to cheat on Everly. He did a lot of things because of lust, so he was just a snobbish and mercenary man.

Did he still like Everly?

The answer was yes. She was more beautiful now than she was in school.

They had been together for five years, but he failed to sleep with her. And now, she was back and was working for his cousin, so the more Lucas thought about it, the angrier he felt, and he was unwilling to accept it.

He punched the wall fiercely.

His eyes glowed, and it seemed he was plotting something.

...

In the following week, Everly was manic at the office.

That she became Maverick's chief assistant was a depth charge in Lamont Group. It was unknown how Lucas got her number, and he sent her an Internet link.

Everly wanted to ignore it, but she clicked it by instinct and saw the forum of the company.

There was a post on it, and it was about a secretary of Lamont Group. She knew it was talking about her.

However, she was too busy with her work, so she was not in the mood, and nor did she want to pay attention to it.

Because she was Maverick's secretary, she had to work between departments, and she more or less noticed that the others had prejudice against her.

However, Everly wasn't afraid of gossip. To be honest, she was more energetic now because she wanted to prove herself. She was just angry with Maverick before, but now, she wanted to improve Lucas was wrong.

Everly didn't say a word about the post, so Maverick didn't know it either.

Actually, Maverick was very busy with his work every day. He nearly spent four to five hours on meetings a day.

He was indeed quite charming when he was silent and buried in work.

However, Everly was also busy.

At the very beginning, she couldn't deal with her work. As a girl who had been outside all year round before, how could she suddenly become the secretary of the president? She couldn't accept it.

After she complained to Hendrix at home, Hendrix just said, "Then if you want to come to my company, I'll tell Maverick."

Everly refused at once, "Some people start to gossip about me. I won't back down, and I'm not a deserter."

"I agree with you. In fact, in your previous job, you had to socialize. In order to get the project, you had to drink with many people. There are many rules in China that are different from those in foreign countries. Therefore, it's not bad for you to be Maverick's secretary. You can learn many business skills from him."

Everly agreed on this.

Sometimes, Maverick could keep the other party's profits to a minimum on a project, but the other party was made to sign a contract willingly. This is because he was capable of business.

Therefore, Maverick was not just unpredictable.

He was also very sinister.

However, ever since that day, he wasn't out-of-bounds anymore, and for the normal work, he also behaved himself.

Everly was quite satisfied with this.

On Thursday afternoon, Everly finished her work and Maverick's schedule. And then she decided to ask if he had any other instructions.

Gloria had asked her to go for a blind date many times. However, she was too busy with her work, so she always postponed it.

Therefore, Gloria was very unhappy now, so Everly had to go to eat with someone today no matter what.

Everly dared not to irritate her mother. In addition, Hendrix chatted with her in private these days, and he mentioned that they should find Edmond's biological father.

Since Everly gave birth to Edmond in secret, it had been five years. Therefore, she thought it was immoral for her to disturb that man.

Therefore, she didn't want to find who that man was. And she thought if she could meet the right guy on the blind date, she wouldn't have to worry about this.
