A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married

Chapter 46 He Snatched the Phone from Her

Beth told Everly that the company had an online forum.

So when she was on her way to the airport, she took out her phone to search it.

The post at the top was really glaring.

The title read: What Sets a Female Secretary Apart from a Male Assistant? Check out This Bitch at

Lamont Group!

She had a hunch that this post should be the one Beth had mentioned.

She clicked it.

After a seconds of network delay, a few photos popped up.

Everly swiped the screen, wide-eyed. She nearly let the phone slip from her hand.

'Isn't that me adjusting Maverick's tie?'

She could not believe that pictures of her and Maverick had been taken when he put her on the

cabinet. Of course, mosaic was added on their faces, but that could never make things better.

It was her and Maverick.

She scrolled down. Most of the comments were attacks against her.

Moreover, these people were really resourceful. They dug up her background.

Some guys even gave a vivid and elaborate account of her relationship with Lucas.

However, Lamont Group was headquartered in City B. Therefore, many University C graduates chose

to work here. As soon as a topic like this came up, they would come to comment under anonymity.

The forum of this kind of company was used by the employees to ease pressure from work, where they

can gossip or simply chitchat.

That explained why many people were anonymous, and she did not know who they were. Anyway, the

comments were grossly snarky.

Since Lucas was her ex, the way those trolls talked about her was like she had committed incest.

She couldn't bear to see more after reading dozens of the comments. Nobody can be immune to such

vilification. She felt hurt.

What the hell?

'Are those guys idle nuts? Even though I seemed indecent in those pictures, they can't give such hurtful

speeches.'

Everly had never encountered such kind of things when she was in the United States.

She had the urge several times to register another account and argue with them. However, on second

thought, this might be what they wanted--to make her angry. They would be overjoyed to see her

getting enraged.

In the end, she looked terrible when she arrived at the airport as she did not rest well and was pissed

off by this shit early in the morning.

The good news was that Jayden would be around on this business trip.

Everly didn't know where they were going, so she entrusted her ID card to Jayden so that he could her

get the air ticket.

She didn't see Maverick. And she hadn't eaten much that day, so she found a place to take a bite.

It was about five o'clock when Maverick arrived.

Everly was sitting in a chair with coffee in her hands after she filled her belly with food. She had got

dark circles and was in low spirits. When a dark shadow enveloped her, she did not notice that and was Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

about to yawn.

It was when she opened her mouth really big that she saw Maverick standing in front of her.

Contrary to her low spirits, Mr. Maverick looked great. Maybe because he got up early, it looked even

chillier between his eyebrows.

And at the moment, he was looking down at her.

She froze there for a second, and her hand holding the coffee gave a sudden jerk, and then she quickly

shut her mouth.

In front of the opposite sex, women would, more or less, try to look good.

"Good morning, Mr. Maverick." She stood up.

Although she was told to take the business trip on such a short notice and the departure time was so

early,

Everly did not complain as it was her job.

Besides, he was there on time.

"Didn't sleep well?" Maverick frowned and his gaze fell on her coffee. He saw the black circles around

her eyes.

'I did not sleep at all,' she thought to herself.

However, she just shook her head.

Then Jayden approached them and reminded them that they could pass the security check now.

Everly drank up the coffee in one gulp, and threw the cup away before following them to the security

check.

They did not queue as they can use the VIP boarding service.

Everly did not know where they were going until she checked the ticket. The destination was Weirdale.

It was three hours away from City C.

After hearing Jayden report to Maverick about the situation in Weirdale, she realized that it was about a

project Maverick developed after he got this position.

No wonder he took it so seriously.

However, Everly knew that as she was new to being Maverick's secretary and the business, so Jayden

was in their company.

By 6 o'clock, they were on the plane.

Everly was arranged to sit next to Maverick, while Jayden was in the next row.

As Jayden had been at LAL Branch recently and the he was called to take this trip on a short notice, so

he had to report his work now.

Sleepy, Everly tried to listen and felt a little guilty when Jayden seemed such a professional.

'I need to learn the ropes as soon as possible.'

Then airline stewardess came to remind the passengers to turn off their phones.

When Everly took out her phone and was about to turn it off, a call came in.

Perhaps because the bell rang abruptly, Maverick, who sat next to her, turned to her.

The name appeared on the screen was "Babe," and the profile photo was the man that Maverick saw

when she was drunk last time.

Maverick's face became extremely grim.

Jayden, who had been reporting for a while, looked up when he did not get any responses from Mr.

Maverick, only to see his boss snatching Everly's phone.

Before Everly could say anything, the man hung up the call and said coldly, "Have you ever been

listening to Jayden? This is a trip for business, not for fun. Jayden is doing the job for you."

Everly was furious.

To be honest, she didn't know anything. She was informed of the trip too late to make much

preparations.

It was her fault that she stayed up all night, which affected her spirits now.

On thought of all those nonsense on the forum,

and her son's parent-teacher meeting, she felt on the verge of breaking her promise.

She was kind of moody and felt strained and tired.

And now this man hung up her son's call!

Even though he was the boss, he didn't have the right to do so, did he?

Besides, couldn't he tell her about this trip earlier?

She was a human being, not a machine. It was impossible for her to sort out all the materials with just a

few keystrokes.

"Sorry, Mr. Maverick." She clenched her fists tightly. She had never thought that she could get germs

for job, but what was the grievance about at the moment?

Her eyes turned red.

She bit her lips.

"I will try my best to take everything over from Jayden." After thinking for seconds, she stood up and

said, "How about Jayden and I changing our seats? So that you can talk. I can also go through all the

materials at the same time."
