Chapter 10 Maverick Laughed at Her?
Everly had left the city for a few years, so she wasn't particularly familiar with the surroundings. After
leaving her son to Gloria, she took a taxi to her destination.
After getting off the car, she looked up and saw that there were several words written on the top of the
clubhouse--AY Club.
This name was quite stylish.
The doorman took her upstairs. Just as she reached the corner, Everly swept her eyes and saw a cold
and straight back.
It looked familiar.
Everly subconsciously slowed down. She happened to hear the man whispering, "... I'm not ready to
sign that project. I didn't sign the letter of intent. Besides, there are still a lot of problems with that
contract."
Everly was slightly stunned.
She could not have misheard this voice deep, which was deep and somewhat cold. It was Maverick's.
Looking in that direction again, Everly finally saw Maverick's handsome side face.
With one hand in his pants pocket, Maverick held his mobile phone with the other hand. Meanwhile,
half of a cigarette was between his slender and clean fingers.
The man wore a smile. But it was full of mockery.
When the person leading the way saw Everly suddenly stop, he turned around and was about to call
her.
Everly quickly made a silent gesture and whispered, "I know the way. Thank you. I have something to
do. I will go up in a moment."
"Alright." The doorman quickly left.
Everly felt that the "project" that Maverick had just mentioned had something to do with her.
She knew that eavesdropping wasn't good, but she couldn't help but tilt her body slightly to the side
and hold her breath to listen quietly.
"Yes, they released a piece of false news. I can tell the pros and cons ... I don't have any other
thoughts."
Maverick raised his eyebrows slightly when he said this.
His gaze had always been ice-cold. Now, there was a hint of languor and charm in it.
Maverick pulled out his hand and took a puff of his cigarette with narrowed eyes. The person on the
other end of the phone said something, and then Maverick snorted, "I still have something to do
tonight."
"No, I know about LAL. I don't intend to sign it. Someone from their branch has talked with me."

"Well, talk about it later. I'll hang up."
...
It was just Everly's guess. Now she felt that it was impossible for her to be mistaken since Maverick
had personally mentioned LAL.
So Maverick didn't even plan to sign the contract with her, did he?
Since he didn't plan to invest, why did he use her?
Everly felt a burning pain in her throat. Countless emotions surged up, and she flew into a temper.
'Maverick, you have gone too far!'
She groaned for half an hour in vain. It was simply a joke!
Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder. Everly turned around. However, she couldn't control the
expression on her face for a moment. She gritted her teeth with hatred, which shocked the people
behind her.
"Everly, what's wrong with you? You look like you're going to eat people."
It was Garry. He saw Everly standing motionless from afar.
Everly quickly restrained her expression and shook her head, "Nothing much. Is everyone here?"
"Yes, but Everly, you look pale."
"I'm fine. Let's go in first."
As Everly spoke, she subconsciously turned to look at Maverick.
Everly happened to meet Maverick's eyes.
Their eyes met.
Everly was enraged. Since she was caught eavesdropping on him, awkwardness and guilt surged
through her.
Within tens of seconds, her emotions fluctuated so much that the expression on her face was amusing.
Everly froze there.
Maverick dusted off the ashes. Staring at Everly, he directly crumbled the cigarette butt. Then, he
placed it on the windowsill behind him, and pressed it hard.
A faint smile lifted the corner of his mouth.
Afterwards, he turned around slowly and went off in another direction.
Everly finally figured out what Maverick implied, and her face flushed red with anger.
What was he doing?
Was he laughing at her?
