- Chapter 381 - Act Like Maverick
Maverick instinctively resisted the approach of this woman but found that he had no strength to push the woman away.
He searched his mind, but he had no impression of this woman. It was as if she appeared out of nowhere.
His experience told him that he must have been drugged so that he had no strength. He did not know how long this situation lasted. Maverick felt that he had been like this for more than a day, but he did not know how many days exactly.
The woman was dissatisfied when seeing him distracted. She poked Maverick’s body with her finger, “What? How can you be distracted with a beauty like me here? Who are you thinking about? Or do you want to escape? No way! You are weak now. You never eat or drink anything. You wouldn’t have passed out without the drug.”
Maverick hated to be touched by other women. Although he couldn’t push this woman away, the disgust and disdain on his face were not concealed at all. He was such an aggressive man that even if he was controlled now, he was still overwhelming.
At that moment, Sofia could not help but take back her hand. She completely forgot that she was the one who had the upper hand. Maverick’s eyes were too sharp and Sofia felt that she was about to be killed by his glare. Soon, she realized that she had lost her composure. She sat up straight and stayed away from Maverick.
She underestimated Maverick.
Sitting beside the bed, Sophia looked down at Maverick for a while, “Aren’t you curious about where you are now? And how did you get into my hands?”
Maverick could not move. He just slightly closed his eyes. It seemed that he was the one who controlled everything.
He didn’t want to talk to Sophia at all. He knew that she probably wouldn’t tell him anything.
He couldn’t understand how these people took him here. He couldn’t remember what happened that day at all. Although he did not have any strength, he did not feel any pain.
Since he wasn’t hurt, the biggest possibility was that one of his men betrayed him.
Maverick was dealing with something confidential that day. He did not bring too many bodyguards with him. He brought only one.
That man was strong enough to fight ten people, so Maverick thought that there wouldn’t be anything.
However, Maverick did not expect that he would miscalculate. Maybe it was because he was in a bad mood the past few days and was distracted, or he was too confident and thought that the mercenary he brought back would never betray him.
Or maybe the enemies were too strong.
Sofia waited for a while but did not hear Maverick’s answer. It was disappointing, but she couldn’t help but feel Maverick attractive. People could be cheap sometimes. The more they were ignored, the more they wanted to get close to the one who ignored them.
“Are you not interested at all? Then do you know that everyone is looking for you since you’re missing? Your poor brother was called by the police today. And that poor woman.”
Seeing that Maverick still did not respond, Sofia was afraid that he did not understand and explained, “I mean Everly.”
Maverick’s heart skipped a beat. He felt that the softest part of his heart was pinched by a formless hand.
Since the police called his family over, he was at least missing for 72 hours.
Today was the last day of their agreement. Did she miss him these days?
Would she be anxious?
Maverick was also not clear. He only remembered Everly’s stubbornness. He was determined that he wanted to keep Everly, but he didn’t know whether he would succeed. He had thought a lot of ways, yet he was still not sure.
She was so soft. The longer Maverick stayed with Everly, the more Maverick wanted to love and protect her. He wouldn’t use any way to force her. Only thinking of forcing her made his heart ache.
Maverick closed his eyes. He was good at controlling himself. He was not born with it. After so many ups and downs, he was finally like this. He just didn’t want to get controlled or expose his weakness.
“Isn’t that your woman? Aren’t you worried about her at all?” Sofia asked doubtfully.
“I can’t even protect yourself. How can I still care about others?” Maverick said in a low voice. He opened his eyes, “You caught me because you want money? Without my permission, no one in my company has the right to use a large number of funds.”
Sofia did not answer him. Maybe it was because he took the initiative to talk to her, there appeared a playful smile on her face. She looked at Maverick with her shiny eyes with a little infatuation.
Maverick was very familiar with this kind of gaze. It was not strange that a person like him would attract the attention of the pervert.
“My name is Sofia Meredith.” The woman suddenly introduced herself and immediately sat up from the bed after saying this. Then she quickly left the room, as if she was avoiding someone.
Not long after, the sound of footsteps appeared again. Maverick thought that Sofia was heading back, so he didn’t raise his head. But unexpectedly, he heard a familiar voice.
“You’re awake?”
Maverick looked toward the source of the sound. When he saw Pira, his pupils contracted.
At this moment, he finally understood everything.
It turned out that this was where all the problems came from.
…
After the meeting, Everly sat on the main seat, waiting for everyone to leave. She did not move. In the twilight, she was like a sculpture.
This was Maverick’s usual seat. Everly’s arm rubbed on it as if she could get closer to Maverick in this way.
What was he thinking when facing this group of people?
How was he able to handle everything with ease?
Everly didn’t know any of this. She could only wait for Maverick to come back to solve the puzzle.
Beth waited in the office. Everly slowly got up and walked through the long corridor. The scenery outside was beautiful, but it made Everly feel like she was walking on the edge of danger high in the sky. A sense of loneliness pressed down on her shoulder as if the setting sun landed on her shoulder. Only her shadow was with her when she walked.
Did she know how much Maverick had been through all these years?
In the past, Maverick had been frank with her. At that time, Everly felt that she could understand Maverick, but in fact, all of the understanding was just understanding unless someone experienced that kind of life on his or her own.
Everly stood at the door of the office and sighed softly. Then, she pushed the door open. Beth, who was sitting on the sofa, looked up from the computer. “Are you alright?”
Everly shook her head, “What could have happened?” They just complained to me. And every word they said was useless. They didn’t dare to hit me. With the bodyguards Maverick gave me, they only dared to complain. If they are capable enough, they won’t have to listen to Maverick now. And I found another thing. All the funds of the company are controlled by Maverick only. That’s why everyone panicked.”
Beth was not very familiar with the management of the company, but Everly experienced something like this before when working, so he understood everything. Maverick might have expected that an accident would happen, so he tightly controlled the company funds. Even if he was not there, the company would not be in trouble.
“That’s good,” Beth said quickly.
Everly sat on the sofa. “But, once something goes wrong with the company, everyone will be very passive. We can only wait for a miserable result.”
“So those people panicked and they called here to save the company. But how can they be like that? Are they asking for help?”
Everly said expressionlessly, “They thought that I was just a normal girl who will be crazy about money. In their opinions, sweet words and warning words combined will make me surrender.”
Beth stared at Everly for a while and suddenly had a strange feeling. “Everly, you seem to have changed.”
Everly cast a questioning look.
“You’re acting … like Maverick.” Beth shrugged, “I originally came to give you courage, but I just realized that you are powerful enough. I couldn’t help you.”
Everly rubbed her face. “Powerful enough? I just don’t want to embarrass Maverick.”
