178 Seeking help
“What is going on?” Maverick asked passively.
“May-”
“Brother, she’s my woman now.” Rex smiled with squinted eyes. Maverick could feel the happiness he
was radiating. 2
“Rex!” Celestine balled her fist as she waited to hear what Maverick would say.
“What? He’s still going to find out, after all, you’re my fiance now… we got engaged, didn’t we?” 2
Celestine almost cried in shame. Rex had always been a blabbermouth, but this time, he was obviously
doing it to force her into having no other choice than to accept him.
Maverick’s eyes trailed down to Celestine’s finger and he saw the sparkling diamond ring smiling at
him.
The ring is big and beautiful, it calls people’s attention and announces to them that Celestine was
taken.
Celestine slowly hid the hand behind her and waited with a drumming heart for Maverick’s verdict.
Maverick said nothing as he looked from the nervous Celestine to the excited Rex. After a while of
silence, he finally opened his mouth. “Take care of her.”
“Yes, brother.” Rex’s smile widened and he hugged the surprised Celestine. “I told you, my brother has
no problem with us getting into a relationship.”
“Get off me, you pest!” Celestine untangled herself from him before standing up. “Mav, I’m
disappointing you. I tried to fight the feelings but I lost. I’m sorry.”
sorry for
Maverick put his hands in his trousers and looked towards Matt’s office door. “Take care of him… he’s ”
still young.” 1
Celestine slowly lowered her gaze. That’s right, he’s still young. When she lifted her eyes again, she
smiled bitterly. “I will.”
“I have no problem with what you two do.” Maverick turned his head to look at her. “You both couldn’t
help it. He took his hand off his trousers‘ pocket and patted her shoulder.
He doesn’t have a problem but Matt would. However, that has nothing to do with him. He’ll allow the
three of them to sort themselves out. Matters of the heart have always been a force to reckon with. He
found out a few years ago that both of them had developed feelings for each other and had been
silently watching them hurt themselves.
He couldn’t take their stupidity anymore, so he ruined her marriage to create another chance for his
brother. He did all that before he knew Matt also loves her.
Maverick hopes that the three of them can settle things diplomatically when they finally start to go
loggerheads.
Celestine hugged him and buried her face in his chest. Maverick was caught off guard. His eyes darted
to the door Jeslyn entered through before he relaxed and slowly patted Celestine’s back.
“Hey!” Rex rushed off his seat and started to pull Celestine off Maverick while saying, “Stay away from
my brother, he has a wife!” –
Celestine chuckled and hugged Maverick even more tightly.
Meanwhile, Vera was in her room, reading a text on her phone. After she was done, she sent a reply
before pulling out the sim card. She walked to the bathroom and flushed away the sim.
“It’s been five hours, I still haven’t seen those two. Where did they go? They haven’t left the house
because I have been by the window; watching outside… don’t tell me they are inside their room-” her
eyes snapped open when she thought of the possibility that they might be having s3x. 1
She took a blue coat and drafted it on her shoulder before heading out. 1
Getting to Maverick’s door, she rang the bell a few times but got no answer. She started to think that
they would be in Jeslyn’s room but just as she turned, her eyes involuntarily gazed at the two closed
doors a distance away.
Her curiosity took the wheels of her legs and she started to walk slowly towards the doors like she was
being compelled. 1
Reaching one of the doors, she stretched out her hand to touch the knob but held it back and balled the
hand. She looked right, then left, and tried to open it again but stopped herself again.
She was nervous and afraid. The new mission that was sent to her just now was to enter Maverick’s
red room. She knew it would be difficult but the way her heart was hammering her chest, like it was
going to explode, told her that today wasn’t a good day, so she turned and ran away.
2
What is inside Maverick’s red room? Why would her boss tell her to get inside it? What would she be
doing once she gets in?
All of these were questions Vera cannot answer.
At another house, Alex could be seen sitting on a blue couch with her legs crossed.
In front of her was a woman of her age. She was clad in a seductive red silk gown that barely covered
anything.
A clear glass of red liquid was placed on her fiery red lips.
Pink looked around the classy sitting room. It was beautiful and luxurious with a lonely vibe.
“Alex, long time no see. Where have you been hiding?” 1
Pink shifted her gaze from the interior of the sitting room to the woman in front of her who looked very
beautiful but wasn’t enough to hold a candle to Jeslyn.
“Let’s cut to the chase. I came here to ask for a favor,” She said.
“Oh, the Doyenne’s right hand now asks favors from small fries like me? Don’t be like that, Alex, You
are mocking me,” She said sarcastically with a fake smile.
“Diana…” Pink sighed and shut her eyes. “Please, help a friend in need.”
“Hehe… Come on, Alex, do you know that word? Don’t abuse it, please. It will make us who know the
value of friendship cringe.” Diana blew on her manicured nails and slowly crossed her legs with her
back leaned back to rest on the couch.
On one of her ankles has a glittering diamond anklet with a half–heart pendant. Close to her ankle, was
a red half–heart tattoo.
With her displaying what she was on the exposed part of her skin, it was evident she has a higher
position in the half–heart organization that even the government wouldn’t dare to touch her.
