A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married

Chapter 43 Were You in Love?

It was humid in the air.

The alley looked grim after night fell.

It was difficult for cars to pass through such a alley, so the driver turned around and said to the lady

sitting at the back seat, "Miss Candy, I guess we can't go any further."

Carolina nodded, "OK, just wait here."

She opened the door and got off the car.

The sound of her high heels echoed in the alley. Not far from her, there was a man in black waiting

there.

The man might had been there for a while. And it was hard to see his face clearly.

Carolina didn't want to come into contact with people like him, but he told her that the only way to get

the document was to come and met him in person. Since she really needed this information, so she still

decided to come.

As she walked closer to the man, she realized that he was wearing a hat and a mask. So, there was no

way to recognize his face.

Carolina was getting impatient. She felt exposed while the man was completely hidden in the dark.

"I'm here. Where's the document?" She cut to the chase because she didn't want to stay for long.

"Once I got what I wanted, you will get the money from your account."

The man started to talk, "Miss Carolina, I admire your frankness. And I am also a man of my words.

Here is what you want." He smiled and passed a folder to her. Though she couldn't see his face, but he

sounded gloating. "This is exclusive. You made an excellent choice when you came to us for this

matter."

Carolina took a deep breath and said, "This will be the only time that I show up. I will not come again."

"Miss Carolina, what are you worried about? We are professionals and we follow the rules."

"If that's true, then stop calling my name."

"Miss Carolina, don't worry. Even if someone found out what you did, you won't take the blame. You've

got a little sister, remember?" The man took a pause and resumed while stroking her chin, "And let me

tell you more about it. You're not the only one checking on her. Your sister was also sniffing around this

too, but she didn't get anything yet."

She wasn't surprised.

She let Karen know about Everly on purpose.

Because Carolina knew her well and she would definitely keep digging.

She snorted and didn't want to stay any longer. Just as she was about to leave, the man stopped her. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Is there anything else?"

"I am telling you this as a favor. The woman that you are dealing with is not an easy bone to chew on.

Her brother has sophisticated connections. So, if you want to deal with her, you need to get rid of her

brother first."

Did you mean Hendrix?

Carolina didn't care much about it.

She got on the car and started to read the document.

She was shocked by the information in hand. At first, she felt hard to believe in what she was reading

about, and then she felt it was ridiculous.

Everly was once Lucas' girlfriend. Nice work.

She went abroad five years ago, and had a child there.

What was going to do this time back? To find a rich stepfather for her son?

How dare she make a move on Maverick!

Well played, young lady. Nephew and his uncle, you played them both.

Then, she noticed that Edmond also went to Crane Kindergarten.

Carolina was getting furious. She felt herself being too carless and let this vulgar woman had her

chance.

Good job, Everly! No wonder Candy wouldn't stop talking about a little boy lately.

The more she read about it, the angrier she got. Her fingers clasped tightly to the edge of the

document.

She stared through the car window and the night lights from the road flashed over her face. Her eyes

were brimming with viciousness.

Everly found Maverick weird today. In fact, he was an entirely different man.

Maverick said he had been drinking and couldn't drive. And his driver couldn't pick him up, so he asked

her to drive him home.

But she still didn't have her driver's license yet, so Maverick asked her to get a driver online.

Everly couldn't stop whining about it inwardly. Why would he call her over in the middle of the night

when he could just get a driver himself?

When the driver arrived, Maverick still didn't let her go and asked her to get on the car with him.

She checked the time and felt anxious to go, because she still had to get up early the next day.

Everly looked impatient. Maverick curled up his lips while looking at her, and tapped his knees and

said, "Do you know how Jayden worked before?"

Everly paused and turned back to look at him.

He raised his eyebrows, "You're doing Jayden's job now. But I am paying you much more. You will do

as I say even if I asked you to follow me 24 hours a day. Otherwise, what do you think secretaries do?"

Everly was speechless.

What did they do?

They were supposed to assist their bosses when there was real work, not toil 24 hours a day for them.

It had nothing to do with the raise of salary.

"From now on, don't show me that face." He ordered.

Everly twitched her mouth.

"Are you in love?" He dropped this unexpected question at her.

Everly was shocked and paused for a while. She was about to say no, but instead she said, "Do I also

need to report to you about my personal life?"

Maverick's face was slightly darkened and he kept silent.

He tightened his palms on his knees and then slowly loosened up.

His moods were kept imperceptible.

Somehow, Everly could still feel that he wasn't happy.

But she wasn't in the mood to explain herself. The car finally had arrived at his Villa. Maverick got off

the car and saw her had no intention to move. He knocked on the window, "Get off the car."

Everly was speechless again.

She rolled down the window and laid over the door. With a soft tone she said, "Boss, it's late. Can I ask

the driver to take me home? I'll ask someone to drive your car back tomorrow."

Maverick's face remained unchanged, "No."

"..."

"You got to stay here tonight. We will be heading to the airport at 5." He left an order in a cold voice.

Everly didn't see that coming, "What!"

"Do you get it? I don't have time to repeat myself. Now, get off the car." Then he said to the driver, "You

can go now."

The driver took the money and left.

Everly had no choice but to get off the car. She ran after Maverick and was trying to catch up with him.

"Maverick!"
