Chapter 166 It''s Been So Many Years, And You''re Coming the Raw Pawn with Me,


    Perhaps it was out of woman''s intuition, or, deeply inside, she was willing to pick up this call.


    Moreover, the caller was extremely persistent for the imcable purpose.

    Everly answered it and ced it near to her ear. As soon as she spoke, the other side quickly fell silent.


    A momentter, she heard a woman''s soft and gentle voice. "Excuse me, who are you?"


    Although it was just five simple words, coupled with a puzzling tone, for some reason, Everly felt


    somewhat suffocated.


    It was probably the sensitive sixth sense of a woman.


    Everly thought for a while and replied, "Hi, this is Maverick''s phone, because he is not here now, so I


    picked it up. Is there anything important? Or, maybe you could contact himter."


    "Who are you?"The woman seemed a little aggressive. "Are you Maverick''s assistant? I heard from him


    that he has changed a female secretary."


    Everly''s breath sank a little. She did not want to deny the fact that she felt awfully ufortable when


    she heard those words especially at this moment.


    But at least, she had been struggling in the workce for a few years, so she was not that impatient.


    After all, what does Maverick mean to her?


    In the past, Maverick and Everly did not know each other. Therefore, she had no idea if there were


    other women around him. But she would choose to believe Maverick''s words. She was pretty clear that


    there were huge crowds of women chasing after him, which waspletelymon. Therefore, she


    did not need to panic.


    "I am not his secretary."


    "Then, who are you?"


    "It''s Maverick you looking for? Why are you so concerned about who I am?"


    "There are a lot of strange people around Maverick. I am just worried."


    Everly sneered, "Then you can ask himter. I am also a little strange, that is I see no need to


    introduce myself for a stranger. You can callter. And I will also retell your words to Maverick."


    The woman probably didn''t expect for the answer. She originally wanted to say something more, but


    Everly directly hung up.


    No matter how calm Everly was earlier on the phone, she felt a little unhappy now.


    Who was that woman after all? The way she spoke seemed that she knew Maverick very well. Female


    secretary and lots of strange people, was I Everly that kind of person too?


    She was not in mood. In addition, she had just woken up and had been tormented badlyst night. Now


    she was even more depressed.


    But concerning that today was the birthday of two children. Besides, the loving little girl was also born


    on the same day as her son. She thought that no matter what, there was no need to be angry on this


    asion. She went to the kitchen and began to make cake.


    About half an hourter, no sooner than the cake was put into the oven did the sound of a car engine


    arise from outside.


    Soon, from the distant came the voices of two children.


    You could vaguely hear Maverick saying a few words from time to time.


    "Miss Everly is making a cake in the kitchen," the maid said to Maverick.


    After a while, Maverick came in as expected.


    He was dressed very casually today far from the incisive posture as usual. In addition, he stood beside


    Everly, which softened his whole vibe. "The servant said you were making cake?"


    Everly nodded and pointed at the oven. "Almost done."


    Maverick came up and hugged her from behind. Just as he was about to kiss her, Everly stiffened and


    turned her face to the other side. Then she wiped her hands and pointed to the phone, saying, "There


    was a call for you, you should ring it back first. It seems to be quite urgent."


    It was impossible for a shrewd person like Maverick not to notice that there was something wrong with


    Everly.


    Call again? He smiled and asked, "Who is it?"


    "I don''t know. It''s a woman." Everly did not want to disclose it. "There are also some messages from


    her, right? But don''t worry, I didn''t read them. She kept calling and you weren''t here, so I helped you


    pick up one," Everly said honestly.


    "Are you being jealousy?" Maverick leaned towards Everly while Everly walked forward. But he quickly


    chased after her. In the end, she was forced nearby the refrigerator door. The man sounds a little


    happy: "You''re my only baby, so don''t think too much about it, okay?"


    Everly felt as if she was beingpletely controlled by him. Previously, she had always been


    suppressing her unhappiness. Moreover, she would also feel that it was just melodramatic for her


    emotion to be affected so easily. There was no reason to exin it. She had never been such a person.


    Now, she didn''t even know why.


    As a result, the emotions that she had managed to suppress were like wild fire raging in her heart when


    she heard Maverick''s words.


    "I''m not indulging myself in fancy thoughts. Ring back the phone first. She seems to be very anxious."


    Maverick saw that her face had lost color. Although he was very satisfied inwardly, it was more


    important tofort his girl at this moment. He took the phone and nced at the number. It''s no


    surprise to see the name on it.


    At this time, the one who would call him and it was a woman. It must be Elenore.


    The man then threw his phone on the table and held Everly in his arms, gazing her directly face to face.


    "Are you really angry? She is my friend. We are in a quite good rtionship. In the past, she helped me


    and can be viewed a benefactor. However, she is two years older than me. Over the years, we have


    been in contact asionally, but not that frequently."


    He thought it over and said, "In fact, you should have heard of her too. The most famous skin care


    products in the world are basically from herpany. She is a professional in this field."


    Skin care products?


    Everly remembered that Beth had helped her investigate the smell of Maverick''s shower gel and had


    told her something.


    Everly''s heart lurched. She asked, "The shampoo you''ve been using all the time, is it unavable on


    the market?"


    Maverick was stunned, but then he nodded.


    "It''s rather unique, and you''ve probably used it for many years," "Is this body lotion made by Elenore?"


    Everly said confidently.


    Maverick thought that maybe it was a bad thing, but indeed he did not want to deceive Everly. He


    sighed and said, "She gave it to me on one of my birthdays. In the beginning, she was indeed


    preparing to sell it. She just said that she wanted me to use it first. A lot of time and energy has been


    put to make the shampoo, so she gave it to me as a birthday present. I thought it was not


    uneptable, so I used it. The product was quite satisfactory. That taste made me feel quite


    about to go public, something happened and it never appear in the market again."


    "It''s been so many years, but you don''t need to use the same one all the time. So all these years, your


    shampoo are all from her, right?"


    "I kind of prefer the smell. It was true that it has always been provided by someone. Elenore has a


    form. You could just find someone to make it."


    Everly''s tone sounded a little jealousy. "It can''t be that there is a problem causing the product cannot go


    public. It''s just she wants to give you the unique one. It''s been so many years, and you areing the


    raw pawn with me, right?"
