A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married

Chapter 15 Claim the Toy Car

What kind of a man was Maverick?

Everly didn't believe the introduction to Maverick on the Internet.

Let's say he was low-key, but recently there was news about him everywhere. But if we said he was

high-profile. There wasn't much useful information about him on the Internet.

Later, on their way back, Hendrix told Everly that Maverick was ruthless.

Everly didn't ask for more information, and Hendrix didn't say anything else. However, because of such

a ruckus, Everly received a crucial piece of news.

There was something wrong with LAL. At present, there was indeed someone who wanted to buy its

branch in City C.

This news was from Hendrix.

Everly felt a little nervous and prayed for her luck. Could it have something to do with Lamont Group?

The reason that Maverick refused to sign the investment project was that he was planning to buy the

entire LAL branch?

What Hendrix told her was, "Right now, I knew that Declan was very interested and was working on the

market. But Maverick... It's hard to say. I don't think Maverick would buy LAL. But he's unpredictable

and I can't be 100% sure of anything."

Everly was worried for a few days.

After offending Maverick like this, if he became her boss, would she still have a way out of this?

Everly was at her wit's end.

Coupled with the jet lag of the past few days, she had not been able to rest well.

Fortunately, it was a weekend. While she was sleeping this afternoon, she received an unfamiliar

phone call.

The staff member on the other end talked away. It took Everly a long time to understand what he

meant. She asked, "What is it? A toy car? What does it have to do with me?"

The man patiently explained again. Everly finally made it clear.

Probably Edmond left her number to the clerk.

At present, the owner of the toy car had probably gone to claim it. But this toy car was so expensive

that the clerk needed the person who had deposited it at that time for confirmation.

Everly woke up on the wrong side of the bed. She tried her best not to lose her temper. After hanging

up the phone, she waited for a while before confirming this matter with Edmond.

She counted the time. Parrish was going to have an operation tomorrow, so she could go to the

hospital to see him this afternoon.

Hospital.

A place like this was usually crowded. If you lost something, it was impossible to have someone

happen to keep an eye on you.

After Maverick received his baby daughter's request that day, he asked Jayden to inquire about it.

Only then did he realize that someone had deposited the toy here that day.

He had planned to ask Jayden to come over, but it just so happened that he was going to meet

someone. On the way, he stopped at the hospital.

He had never seen that toy car before. Previously, he had heard his daughter go on and on about it. He

was planning to come here to take a look or have someone check the surveillance footage. If he

couldn't find it, he would buy her a new one.

When Jayden pulled open the car door and entered, Maverick was smoking with one elbow against the

window.

The car window in the back seat was slightly lowered. The cigarette's smoke came out of the half-

opened window. However, the carriage was still full of the smell of tobacco.

Jayden turned around and said, "Mr. Maverick, Miss Candy's toy car is here. However, it seems that

someone helped Miss Candy put it in the Lost and Found Office. We have to wait for the one to come

and confirm it."

Maverick raised his wrist and checked the time. "How long will it take?"

Jayden also knew that Mr. Maverick was in a hurry, "She might need some time to get here. Maybe I

could stay here?"

Maverick pondered for a moment and said, "Did the staff member reveal who the woman is? Did she

meet Candy that day?"

"I didn't ask this."

Jayden was very cautious. He knew that only Miss Candy would bring the thoughtful side out of Mr.

Maverick.

No one outside knew that Mr. Maverick had a sweet 5-year-old daughter. Mr. Maverick wouldn't

announce it because he didn't give others any chance to take advantage of her.

Though had been working for Maverick for years. Jayden didn't know about this child's mother's

identity. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Although there was indeed someone by Candy's side to take care of her, Jayden was clear that Mr.

Maverick had investigated the mother's information, but found nothing.

The Kahls also put some pressure on him. As time passed, Mr. Maverick gave up on this idea.

Instead, he was getting more protective of Miss Candy.

"Mr. Maverick, do you need me to check the surveillance footage?"

"Not for now," Maverick said.

It took Everly almost an hour to reach the hospital.

Just as she got off the car, she picked up a cross-ocean phone call. It was Brielle.

"The cooperation is over?"

Everly nodded, "I'm sorry, Brielle."

"Never mind. I heard that Maverick is not easy to deal with. When are you coming back?"

"Brielle, I want to stay longer." Everly said, "My dad is going to have an operation. I haven't asked for

leave in years. Can you help me get some days off? You know, the New Year is coming."

"Are you going to celebrate the New Year in City C?" "It's only October," Brielle said. "How can we have

such a long vacation?"

Everly was silent for a moment and organized her speech. Just as she was about to say something,

she heard Brielle sigh and say, "How about I transfer you to the domestic branch?"

"Brielle..."

"Don't worry. Listen to me. There's something wrong with the company. Everly, I don't want to hide it

from you. Let me tell you in private. The company will probably be taken over."

Everly was not surprised to hear this.

Brielle said, "I don't know who the buyer is. But I know that boss has been in contact with a person

surnamed Rice. I've asked around. There's no problem with your position. You will be safe."

Everly thought for a moment and said, "Okay. Thank you, Brielle."

Brielle said, "You are capable. It's easy. Just give me another two months and wait for the good news.

After handover is done, I'm going home too."

Then they chatted a little before ending the call.

This matter was confirmed now. As long as the company didn't sell to Maverick, Everly would be happy.

She lowered her head and sent a WeChat message to Gloria, saying that she was going to visit her

father later. Then, she switched the screen and called the number that had just contacted her to tell him

she arrived and how to get to their place.

...

Under the shade of a tree not far away.

A black car had been parked on the roadside for a long time.

After Jayden hung up the phone again, he turned around and said to the man in the back seat who was

working on a laptop, "Mr. Maverick, the woman is here."
