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 gentlyMaverick 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
Milia widened her eyes, shocked and unable to believe what her husband was saying. Anger flared and in a harsh tone she shouted at Natan, her husband, "Are you willing to lose your child for this kind of business?!" Her words were full of disappointment, she couldn't even hear her affectionate calls to her husband anymore.The servants who witnessed this incident could only remain silent and panic. They realize that this is a matter of feelings that they cannot interfere with.On the other hand, Natan was seen breaking out in cold sweat, not expecting that the child he raised with great love would dare to fight like this. "Okay, father will cancel the business with Danil's family. Gracia, remove the glass first, let's talk carefully," said Natan, trying to seduce Gracia, to control the situation.However, Gracia did not want to give in. His voice hoarse from crying, she said loudly. "If Maverick doesn't want to forgive me, I'd better just die!"Se
Nathan was stunned to hear Maverick's question. He didn't expect that Gracia, his daughter who was treated like an angel by many rich men, was nothing at all in Maverick's eyes. His eyes were wide, looking at Maverick with a helpless look and a sad face.At first he thought that Maverick really liked Gracia, because he was willing to give the child luxurious gifts. Now, Natan feels he has to lower his self-esteem again for Gracia's sake."Brug!" Natan's body collapsed, kneeling in front of Maverick, his face pitiful. "Mr Douglas, I beg you! Please save Gracia, I would give anything for you!" said Natan, holding back the tears that wanted to fall, his voice choked with emotional sobs.At this moment, Natan no longer cared about his pride. Even though she is one of Drako's favorite people, that doesn't mean Drako will give her everything. Despair seeing his daughter in danger made him sacrifice anything.So far, Drako has given Natan various luxuries, from luxury houses, cars, to the po
Milia and Gracia immediately turned towards the voice. As soon as she saw Maverick's figure, Gracia let go of the broken glass she had been holding and ran quickly until she fell into Maverick's arms.Gracia hugged Maverick tightly while sobbing uncontrollably. "Maverick, I'm sorry. I have no relationship with Danil. My father told me to meet him. Please forgive me, I can't live without you," she said in a hoarse voice, explaining everything to Maverick.Maverick was still stunned by Gracia's sudden action of hugging him tightly, he only realized when the girl buried her face in his chest.In reflex, Maverick hugged Gracia, rubbing the top of her head gently, "Why are you like this"I don't mind if your family doesn't want me, as long as you're happy, that's enough for me," said Maverick in an understanding voice.Hearing this, Gracia raised her face and looked into Maverick's eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks, "NoI'll only be happy if I'm with
