Maverick was happy because he had just received an invitation to dinner from Nadira, when suddenly, he saw Sardat running across the terrace of the house in a hurry.Seeing this, Maverick couldn't hold back his curiosity, "Sardat, what's wrong?" he scolded, shouting a little from inside the house.sardat smiled at him, out of breath. "It's nothing, sir. Just Kylie came to bring the car!" he said from the terrace. Maverick just sighed and tried again to enjoy the euphoria of Nadira's invitation to dinner.Meanwhile, Sardat rushes to meet Kylie. he told Kylie and his nine men to take the car to headquarters. Sardat also wanted to use it as an opportunity to earn the money needed to renovate the base.Since the base is used by the Tiger group, its condition is worrying. rubbish was strewn everywhere, many buildings had damaged walls and paint had faded.Sardat felt this was a good opportunity to renovate their headquarters like before.<
Maverick continued his speech passionately, "It may take time, but believe me, I will make King's group even bigger! And also, I will establish a martial arts school to recruit new members to join us!" he said firmly before ending his speech and leaving the rest to Sardat."Did you hear what Mr. Douglas said? It's time for us to change! Those who don't agree with Mr. Douglas' plan, please get out of here!" Sardat shouted in a voice that echoed in the headquarters yard.Lexi raised her hands enthusiastically, "I agree, Mr. Douglas!"Kylie and Vin also raised their hands, expressing support in unison, "We agree too, Mr. Douglas!"Seeing that their group leader supported Maverick's plan, the people who had been doubtful now made up their minds and cheered in unison, agreeing with Maverick's plan.The boisterous voices of King's group members indicated that Maverick's plan was well received by all of them.Sardat smiled sarcastically, then raised his hand, gesturing for them to be quiet.
Maverick slept on the headquarters sofa until six in the afternoon, while Sardat went out looking for food for him. When he woke up, his eyes immediately widened, seeing the figure of a strange woman sitting in front of him."Oh my gosh, who are you?!" Maverick exclaimed in surprise, immediately waking up from his sleep."Mr. Douglas, I was asked to accompany you," answered the woman, blinking her eyes, looking at Maverick seductively.Maverick felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up, uncomfortable with the woman's overly aggressive attitude. He looked at her with an awkward face, showing how much he disliked this behavior.Suddenly, Sardat burst in carrying a plastic bag, saying, "Helen! Don't tease Mr. Douglas!" The reprimand made Maverick a little relieved.Sardat put down the food he brought and put it on the table, as well as several canned drinks. "Please sir, just to fill your stomach before going on a date," he said gently
Maverick stood in the doorway, stunned for a moment when he saw Nadira's elegant, alluring face.For a moment, he forgot that the anger burning in his heart was extinguished, towards Gracia who was having dinner with another man.maverick came to his senses when Nadira rebuked in a curious tone, "Are you Mr ThePoor?""Y-yes, that's me," Maverick immediately stuttered, trying to refocus on the situation. He walked over to Nadira and sat opposite her, then stretched out his hand."I'm Maverick Douglas," he said calmly as he introduced himself.Nadira smiled, took Maverick's hand. "Thank you, Mr. Douglas, for accepting my invitation." As she said that, she teased gracefully, pushing her hair between her ears, maintaining a mysterious gaze that made Maverick even more captivated.Maverick swallowed hard, amazed at the sight of Nadira's smooth neck which made indecent thoughts cross his mind. His eyes looked at Nadira with admiration, as if he was seeing a beautiful woman for the first time
The next day, Nadira opened her eyes slowly and tried to sit up in bed. His head still felt throbbing from the effects of last night's alcohol. she rubbed his forehead which was wet with cold sweat, still feeling dizzy.As she expected, a few seconds later full consciousness returned to him, then she immediately looked left and right, looking to find out what was happening.Nadira widened her eyes when she saw the figure of a shirtless man sleeping next to her. "Argh!" she screamed without realizing it.The man turned out to be Maverick, who was immediately awakened by the sound of Nadira's screams. Maverick reflexively jumped out of bed, but bad luck befell him."Bugh!" The sound of his body hitting the hard floor of the room made his face grimace in pain."M-Maverick!" Nadira exclaimed in a trembling voice, both hands immediately covering her mouth, unable to believe what she had just seen.Nadira then looked at her clothes, af
Gracia doesn't know how many times she tried to contact Maverick, but she never picked up the call. Anxiety grew in his heart; she was worried that something had happened to Maverick."Should I just go to Maverick's house"Yeah, I'd better go straight there," muttered Gracia while nodding firmly. She rushed out of the room to immediately go to Maverick's house, check on his condition.***On the other hand, at the hotel where Maverick and Nadira were staying, they were enjoying breakfast together.Nadira tried to get Maverick to talk, "Aren't you going to the office?"Nadira's sudden question made Maverick choke on the shrimp he was eating."Are you okay? Have a drink first." Nadira worriedly offers him a drink.Maverick immediately drank the water Nadria gave him, feeling a little more relieved after taking a sip. In an attempt to distract himself from choking, Maverick tried to answer Nadira's question, "I usually go to the office a little later in the day," he lied.to be honest, Ma
Gracia felt confused and frustrated. She suspected that Maverick was angry because she saw him having dinner with Daren's family last night. If his suspicions were true, he would be very angry with his Father, because she was the one who forced him to attend the event. Gracia clenched her fists and hit the steering wheel."Argh... Dad!" she shouted irritably, staring at Maverick's house for a moment before driving his car back home.Gracia's car drove fast on the streets of Aranka city, and not long after, she arrived home.Gracia entered with loud steps, her face looked annoyed. Milia, the mother who saw her child coming home sullenly, asked, "Hey, what's wrong with your child?"Gracia snorted in annoyance and threw herself onto the living room sofa. "This is all because of Dad, Mom. "Maverick got angry with me," she complained, staring at the ceiling with teary eyes.Milia approached her only child, sat next to him, trying to calm his f
Maverick woke up exhausted at five in the afternoon, rubbing his still dizzy head."Damn! Why am I drunk again?" he complained as he walked languidly towards the bathroom to clean himself. After feeling fresher, he came down from the room.Maverick accidentally heard the voices of Herlinda, Ririna, and Lucia who seemed to be discussing him.With furrowed brows, he approached them. "So if I weren't there, this is what you would do, right?" he scolded, arms crossed over his chest.The three women who had become Maverick's subordinates suddenly turned to him, their faces looked shocked even though they were not discussing their master's bad attitude.Lucia smiled sweetly at Maverick. "You awake, Mr. Douglas?" she asked politely, then stood up and invited Maverick to sit. She immediately went to the kitchen.Maverick blinked, surprised that Lucia's attitude towards him wasn't usually that warm. When they're not angry, their conversations are always cold.Maverick turned to Herlinda, "What
