A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married

Chapter 24 Take Her to Dinner

Everly was a little confused.

She didn't understand what Maverick meant.

Right now, he was tightly clinging to her, and there were only them in the elevator.

She paused, but she was still unable to control the tyrannical male hormone from Maverick. It smelt as

the smell of sea salt...

She was disturbed.

She felt that this smell was somewhat familiar.

However, it seemed to be a long time ago. Everly was unable to remember when she smelt it before.

Even if Everly tried her best to think back, she couldn't remember it.

Her mind seemed to be frozen. Everly just stared straight at Maverick with her pair of big eyes.

Her eyes were clean and pure. He really couldn't associate them with bad intentions.

However, Maverick had known how charming she was on the bed.

He cursed to himself.

Before Everly could speak, they had already reached their floor.

With a small sound, the door opened. The fresh air rushed into the elevator, causing Everly to wake up.

She subconsciously turned her head away and stood to the side.

After thinking for a while, she walked out of the elevator.

She had just sprained it a little, but it didn't affect her. It was a little painful but she could endure.

Maverick glanced at her ankle. The exposed part of her ankle was very white, catching his eyes.

Maverick pursed his lips and walked out of the elevator.

Everly followed behind him awkwardly. Fortunately, the manager of the restaurant came to welcome

them.

Although Maverick kept a straight face, the manager still laughed warmly, "Mr. Maverick, welcome.

We're all ready. This way, please."

Maverick just nodded and didn't say anything.

The manager bent down enthusiastically and led the way.

Everly followed Maverick. Quickly, they reached the private room and the manager left.

When Maverick entered the room, everyone here stood up in unison.

Everly was not very surprised as she followed behind. After all, she had done business abroad in the

past. When she met investors who were Chinese, they always had such a routine.

It was the first time she had come out with someone of Maverick's status.

Maverick was seated at the head of the table. Everly was together with him, so she naturally sat beside

him.

She briefly observed the people in the room. She knew most of them. They were all high-ranking

people. She didn't know why Maverick had brought her to this dinner party today. There were a few

unfamiliar people, but judging from this situation, they couldn't be the little people.

Maverick did not introduce Everly to others.

However, Everly did not know that Maverick had never brought a woman to socialize or attend various

banquets. At most, a male assistant would follow him.

As for her clothes, everyone present was experienced and had his own ideas.

She might be a secretary or something.

Since Maverick had brought her here today, she might be somewhat different, but... it was hard to say.

Perhaps he had brought her here to help him drink.

Therefore, after sitting down, someone immediately took out a glass of wine and planned to have a try.

As Everly sat down, a middle-aged man on the other side handed over a glass of wine and smiled. "Mr.

Maverick is late. We have to punish him. But we still have business later. Let the secretary have a drink

first."

Everly was stunned for a moment. His words made her uncomfortable, but it wasn't unbearable.

Actually, she could drink a lot.

Although she drank red wine abroad most of the time, it was clear that the wine they passed over was

liquor.

Everly thought that Maverick had brought her here only to help him drink. They were all high-ranking

officials. Therefore, she stood up, took the liquor and immediately drank them.

Maverick frowned.

Just as Maverick was about to raise his hand, he was frozen halfway by Everly's quick action.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Maverick pursed his lips. His hand instead grabbed his cup, and he flicked against the cup with his

fingers. It was hard to tell from his face how he felt.

After Everly drank them, she felt as if a fire burned in her stomach.

Damn, the liquor...

Everly hurriedly ate some food and heard someone say, "Well, she has a high tolerance for alcohol.

She's emptied her glass. She is a straightforward girl!"

After eating a few mouthfuls of food, Everly felt much more comfortable.

She raised her head and smiled at them without saying anything.

However, everyone else understood that Mr. Maverick was probably brought her to help him drink.

They could toast as much as they liked in a moment.

She drank a glass of wine and could rest for a while.

The few of them began to talk about business.

Maverick was indifferent, and he didn't eat much, let alone drink. He just smoked cigarettes.

Everly subconsciously glanced at the man sitting beside her.

He didn't have much to say. His posture was pleasant and casual. His aura of looking down on all living

beings like a sovereign was innate.

However, at this moment, he drew in his sharpness as if half of it was covered by the white smoke. It

was hard to tell from his face what he was thinking.

A middle-aged man on the other side suddenly said, "Maverick, what is the Kahl family's attitude now?"

Another voice sounded, "Well, your Uncle Jenson is really interested in that project. He has been

preparing for it for two years. If you really clashed head-on, you might not be his opponent. What do

you think?"

Everly was picking up the fish when she heard this. She paused slightly.

The Kahl Family? ... Uncle Jenson?

She quickly remembered that in the information she had checked with Maverick, the Kahl family was

indeed in it.

Jenson Kahl?

Right, it was Jenson Kahl. The Lamont family, the Kahl family, and the Croke family were the richest

and most powerful families in City C.

Everly had been away from City C for a few years. She didn't know much about the few wealthy

families in City C. At this moment, she only remembered that the shallow information she had read did

mention that the Kahl family and the Lamont family were still related by marriage or something.

So, Jenson is Maverick's uncle?

Jenson should have two daughters, right? One of them is engaged to Maverick?

...

"The Kahl family's thought... How would I know?" Maverick smiled and said. Suddenly, he looked away

and saw the girl next to him holding the chopsticks with her tender fair fingers. The end of the

chopsticks stabbed at the fish without moving.

She looked down with a thoughtful expression. It was hard to say what she was thinking.

There was a heating in the room. Probably the vent was towards her. At this moment, the warm wind

blew on her neck, and her black hair seemed to be floating on her collarbone.

Maverick wanted to reach out and help her adjust it.

He put down the cigarette and pinched her hand to help her pick up the fish from the plate.

Everly's heart skipped a beat, and her messy thoughts were interrupted. She subconsciously raised her

head.

Maverick swallowed the smoke and looked at her, "Well, you want the fish?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone at the table looked over.

Everly felt extremely embarrassed. She quickly retracted her hand and smiled stiffly. "No... Mr.

Maverick, what do you want? Wine? Let me get you a glass of wine."

Before Maverick could speak, someone stood up and handed over another glass of liquor.

"Come on. Let's drink. The girl just emptied the glass. Her alcohol tolerance is very good. Let's have a

drink again."
