Semua Bab A Deal With The Billionaire : Revenge To My-ex : Bab 61 - Bab 70

At Hurlington Company, on the top floor and in the largest office room, there was a desk with the letters CEO engraved on it. As the leader, Maverick appeared to be daydreaming instead of starting work as he gazed at the skyscrapers from the window. Even someone knocking on his door was completely ignored. And when someone cleared their throat loudly, the man finally snapped out of it. “You…” he called, turning his chair toward the source of the sound. He asked, “What’s going on? Didn’t we already discuss everything in the meeting room earlier? Or do you want to add more work, Jaxton?” “Here’s the document you requested earlier. I came here to deliver them.” His secretary, Jaxton, placed the folder he was carrying on his desk. “Please check your email as well, Sir. It seems you haven’t turned on your computer yet.” Maverick turned to his computer, which was still displaying a black screen. While waiting, he reviewed the documents brought by his secretary. Jaxton quietly observed hi

"Hello, Father? Why are you calling me so late at night?" Victoria wondered, surprised to receive an unusual call from her father at this hour. "Have you had dinner yet?" Petter asked, which only made Victoria's eyebrows furrow even more. "Yes, I have." She replied and asked back, "Is there any work-related matter you want to discuss with me?" “Tori, are you my secretary? Even my secretary doesn’t ask questions as directly as you do.” Petter sounded annoyed, as if he wasn’t happy. Victoria grimaced slightly, muttering, ‘You’re treating me like a subordinate who has to obey, not like a daughter.’ She didn’t say it outright. She changed the question to what was on her mind, “So, are you just curious about how I’m doing?” Petter didn’t respond for a while, so Victoria looked at her phone screen, thinking the call had been disconnected. But it hadn’t. She guessed her father had stepped away or was doing something else. She replied, “I’m fine.” "Yesterday, Maverick and I went to Ange

At the office, Alden, who was in the middle of his work, heard his phone ringing continuously. Whether it was a message or a call, he already knew who the intruder was without even looking at it. Lately, he deliberately avoided Emberly because he felt she was wasting his time. Even though the woman was pregnant with his child, Alden thought trying to build a connection with the Agriche family wouldn't work. So, he changed his strategy to approach Victoria, whom he thought would be difficult. Unexpectedly, she welcomed him. However, for some reason, she had become so hard to get close to lately. The sound of his phone ringing again for the umpteenth time finally annoyed Alden. He picked it up and answered bluntly, “Emberly, don’t you realize what time it is? I’m working!” “Hello, Sir Benedict?” The man's voice replied on the other end of the line, causing Alden to stare at his phone screen.The voice spoke again, “I’m sorry if I disturbed you.” “No, I thought you were that woman. W

Maverick stared intently at the sleeping face before him. He watched every feature—the eyes, eyebrows, nose, and lips- which once again sparked an irrational desire, much like how he had always acted when it came to her. He wanted to kiss her, hold her, and possess her, but aware of his condition, that desire was easier to control. Suddenly, the closed eyes moved as if signaling the woman was about to wake up. Before the eyes opened, Maverick naturally closed his eyes again, refusing to be caught watching his wife sleep. So all he could hear was her breath before she finally yawned. He then felt her hand touching his forehead. “Hmm… I think he doesn’t have a fever. Thank goodness.” Her voice murmured, but it was still audible in the quiet room. Maverick guessed that she must have checked his body temperature by comparing it to hers. He wanted to smile, so his eyes opened, and he immediately looked at his wife. “Good morning.” “You’re awake? How do you feel? Is your body more comfor

A few days passed. Two days after their last conversation, Maverick left on a business trip. And now it had been a week since the two had been apart. This was the first time they had been separated for so long during their marriage of more than half a year.Victoria had to admit that longing had taken root in her heart. In addition, she couldn't shake her thoughts about Maverick's slightly changed attitude toward her. Her decision to tell him about her meeting with Lexie to see Maverick’s reaction brought her regret. Victoria sighed deeply and muttered, “I should have kept it from Maverick.” Her heart was always restless, imagining what might happen. She feared that Maverick might be reminded of his ex-girlfriend. She also couldn't stop worrying that they might start a relationship again behind her back without her knowledge. All those thoughts and feelings left her frustrated. Even her work, which had been quite successful so far, couldn't satisfy her. "Madam Victoria..." Standing
