Unable to identify who her boss was between the two, Esther's eyes moved from left to right repeatedly. It dawned on her that she didn’t really pay much attention to her boss’ appearance. It wasn’t that Maverick wasn’t attractive. It was just that Esther’s mind was fixed in building up her career that she hadn’t noticed Maverick.
Perceiving that she was confused, Maverick was saddened. She had seen him in the company a lot of times and they have been in close contact for the last two days. Maverick expected her to tell the difference between him and Maurice.
Maverick has emerald green eyes like his mom and he has a wavy raven hair color and pillowy lips. On the other hand, Maurice has blue eye color like Clayton, dark brown wavy hair, thin lips and he was fairer than Maverick.
The following day, Esther arrived at the company building. Disdain was in the eyes of the employees as they surveyed Esther from head to toe while whispering.Unconcerned about the undisguised contempt she was receiving, Esther kept walking until she was in the employees elevator.She wasn’t guilty, she did nothing wrong. Why would she let those judgemental gazes get under her skin? If she did wrong, then she won’t have the balls to come into the office. Esther was not a thick skinned woman. If she did something wrong she won’t have the courage to show herself but since her conscience was clear she has nothing to be afraid of.When she reached her work station, Esther began her work right away, wasting not a single second. She brought out
In a fluid motion, Maverick scooped Esther in his arms. But before he left he looked at Penelope and the employees with his bone chilling gaze. The whole place was filled with the stifling aura emanating from him.Everybody, under his piercing gaze, shuddered and cowered. They could not make a sound, afraid that they would incur his wrath.Maverick gaze finally settled on Betty who had just stood up from the floor. “Follow me to my office.”He knew that Betty was the only person in the office that Esther was close to. Betty followed behind Maverick. Though her appearance was unkempt, Betty held her head high.Esther was so shy to even look at Maverick at this point, hid her face on her
A sullen look appeared across Maverick’s handsome face. He marched out of his office towards Esther’s workstation.‘This woman is heartless’ Maverick bitterly complained in his heart upon seeing that she was already eating.He stood before her desk and pulled the lunch box away from Esther, looking at her with a pout on his lips.Esther looked up and couldn’t help but snicker seeing his expression. Esther crouched down and picked a lunch box from her treasured tote bag.“Here, this one is yours,” she said as she deposited the packed lunch on the table and pulled the lunch box away from him.
Esther held Betty’s hand as she didn’t want a repeat of what happened this morning. It was traumatic for her as it only evoked the fear she already forgot. She had been physically abused when she was a child and the trauma it left her took years before she eventually forgot about it. But today’s incident brought back the painful memory.Little did Esther know that Maverick heard everything that the woman said. Maverick’s blood boiled while listening to the woman’s remark against Esther.Maverick stood and approached the table and looked at the woman with a condescending smile. He growled. “Are you bitter because you couldn’t get a rich man?”“Excuse me? Who are you to judge me? Even when you’re ric
Esther frowned at his answer. She was having a headache on how to turn down the persistent man.“Do you want me to repeat my answer again?” Esther couldn’t keep her irritation anymore and it seeped through her voice.“No need, I have to go now.” Maverick said, turned and left before Esther could form a word.Esther wasn’t an unfeeling woman, she could feel his loneliness but she doesn't have the courage to get into a relationship.She was afraid that she would be like her aunt who got depressed and became lunatic because her husband cheated on her and left her for another woman. Her aunt had a promising future, she was an architect but her life was ruined b
Hearing her grandma shouting, Zoey released Maurice collar but that was before giving him a death glare.Maurice fixed his shirt while scrutinizing the insolent woman before him and then he turned to look at the old woman.“Mrs Desmond, everything had been taken care of. Your bill has been covered. And here is the check to compensate you.”Irritated, Zoey reached out for the check and tore it into pieces. “Do you think we are after your money? You rich people always think you can just get away because of your money.”“Zoey, the young man is now sorry. Why don’t you let it go?” Mrs Demond helplessly said. Her granddaughter has developed a dislike towar
Livid to see a woman dressed to the ninth pointing her finger at one of her waiters. Zoey bolted up and stood in front of the sobbing waiter.“You bunch of idiots! You can’t even carry out a simple task.” The woman spouted an insult.“Excuse me? Who are you to call us idiots?” Zoey couldn’t let her people be called like that. If they had done wrong, Zoey will be the one to reprimand them but she doesn’t use degrading words.Zoey’s eyes narrowed as she caught sight of the man standing beside the woman. His expensive suit was wet.“What happened here, Nadine?” Zoey sighed and looked at the crying girl.
Betty saw Maverick as well and looked at Esther’s reaction. Esther’s face was devoid of color as if there was no blood in her face. “Are you okay?” Betty asked with concern. “Yes, let’s go.” She held Betty’s arm and Betty felt her hands trembling at the moment. Betty just sighed and thought. ‘If she wasn’t stubborn, this thing wouldn’t have happened. It’s she who pushed him away.’ Maverick just walked past them as if he hadn’t seen Esther and it hurt her so much. Weeks ago, he was adamant to become her boyfriend but now he doesn’t even glance at her. Esther became even more depressed at the thought that Maverick and Agnes spent the entire day together.
