A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 49

Everly didn't know if Jayden had said anything to Maverick.

However, she still chose to go upstairs because she was really anxious to get her phone back.

She knew that they had to go out at night. When Maverick came to open the door, his hair was still wet. It seemed that he had just finished his shower.

It was precisely because of this that Everly was sensitively aware of the scent on Maverick when she approached.

It was the smell of sea salt.

The smell was quite refreshing and unique, easy to be noticed this time. Perhaps it was because he didn't smoke or drink.

Everly suddenly remembered that she forgot to check what brand of shampoo Maverick used since she had clearly taken a picture of it in his office suite last time. However, she had been too busy.

Everly still had no clue why she was so sensitive to this smell alone.

The smell was so familiar to her that she knew she had met it before.

However, she was still unable to figure out what it was.

Maverick wasn't in his usual suit. He wore some casual clothes when he opened the door for her. But he said nothing about the phone or inviting her her in.

Earlier in the car, there was something embarrassing between them. And now ... what did he ask her here for?

Also Everly didn't want to go in.

She stood at the door and said awkwardly, "Mr. Maverick, where is my phone? Well, I have a lot of materials to read later. And I have to be out with you tonight. I think I need my phone to do that."

At this time, Maverick had walked into the entrance.

Everly's voice wasn't low. She was sure that Maverick could hear her, so she just held the door with one hand, standing there and waiting. She still didn't want to go in.

Five minutes has passed and there was still no sign of Maverick. He didn't come out again to give her back the phone.

Everly was a little embarrassed. But she couldn't shout at the president and ask him to bring out her phone, so she finally mustered the courage and set her foot in.

This room was completely different from the one she lived in. It was as big as the three rooms downstairs combined.

After Everly entered, she found Maverick sitting behind a table in a room to the side.

He was concentrated on the computer in front of him. It looked like he was working.

Everly noticed with her sharp eyes that her cell phone was right next to the man's hand.

Thinking for a while, Everly walked to that direction.

So far she didn't receive any new orders from Maverick. Now she was really hungry as they left quite early. But Maverick had no intention of telling her what to do next, she'd better take her phone back first.

However, her hand was suddenly pressed down by the man.

His big and warm palm directly pressed down on the back of her hand.

The feeling of their skin touching made Everly's heartbeat beat like crazy. What happened before in the car immediately flashed through her mind.

Everly wasn't some teenager girl anymore who didn't know anything.

Actually, she should be partly responsible for the situation at that time. The reason that Maverick felt something was because of her.

Even though she acted with a clear conscience in front of Jayden, Everly herself knew very well that when she was alone with Maverick, their relationship was somewhat shady.

Therefore, she felt a little guilty about the rumors posted on the company forums.

Did she like Maverick?!

No, of course not.

However, she seemed to be unable to restrain herself every time. Just like now, her heartbeat went erratic and her eyes were flinching from his.

This was something that had never happened before.

She had a lot of male friends. When she was abroad, her foreign friends were open and often hugged her, about which she was never nervous.

Everly shook off Maverick's hand as if she had been electrocuted.

Incidentally, she grabbed her phone and took two steps back.

" ... If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Are you still angry?" The man behind her suddenly spoke.

At this moment, Everly's back was facing him.

Angry?

Everly stopped in her track.

She was still in her morning suit, a shirt. Probably because she had slept all the way, the back of the shirt was slightly wrinkled.

Her long hair was tied up, revealing her delicate and fair-skinned ears. There were a few strands of loose hair behind her ears, which rose and fell slightly to the rhythm of breathing.

It was clearly something about her.

Something that was sweeping through his heart.

What kind of magic did she have?

Maverick's fingers on the table tightened slightly as if he could still feel the delicacy and softness of the back of her hand.

He swallowed a bit. Gentleman?

He was just a man.

...

Everly only felt a cold aura approaching her from behind.

She knew that it was Maverick, so she turned around to ask him what else he needed while still being panicking. However, she didn't expect that the moment she turned around, she fell into the man's chest.

He had already been standing behind her back closely.

Everly let out a slight sound and wanted to retreat while Maverick prohibited her.

Maverick reached out and grabbed her shoulder. He said in a low voice, "Look at me. Now tell me, how you got the nerve to be angry with me all day long?"

Every word he said was clearly pronounced.

Alone, each of the words was nothing extraordinary. Together, they struck their audience as faintly flirtatious and romantic.

Everly's heart trembled.

'What did he mean by ... confidence?'

Everly was a little flustered, "I didn't ... Mr. Maverick, this is inappropriate. Let go of me, please."

"Answer my question." As she struggled, his grip on her became even stronger, filled with possessiveness.

"I'm your subordinate. We're on a business trip now..."

Maverick was still in the same tone, "Then do you think I'm being selfish for my own gain?"

Everly swallowed her saliva and boldly said, "I think Mr. Maverick should be very clear about this..."

"I'm not." Maverick's eyes landed on her tiny earlobe. Seeing how tender and soft it was, he really wanted to reach out and rub it.

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he lost control and made his move.

The man's thumb and index finger reached out, grabbing Everly's earlobe and rubbing it slightly.

Everly felt as if she had been struck by an electric current, and her entire body trembled.

She was a little flustered, but she also raised her head in disbelief.

At this moment, Maverick reached out and grabbed her waist. He lowered his head and held onto her lips. "This is being selfish."

He ... kissed her...

Everly felt as if someone had fiercely punched her in the face and she couldn't tell this kind feeling was being painful or numbed.

Last time in the elevator ... he was also bold enough to kiss her. But it was a quick one, a superficial touching of her lips.

However, this was the first time that he gave her a solid lips-against-lips kiss.

Unknown to Everly, Maverick had already touched her lips the time she was drunk.

But that time Maverick still did not pry open her teeth and held her tongue.

It turned out that it was so soft and sweet.

This had been a long-drawn and unfulfilled longing lingering in Maverick's heart.

His depression of the morning was finally dismissed by this kiss.
