Chapter 129

The atmosphere was stagnant for a while.
Fortunately, Eric Ferguson did not pursue it
further. The topic changed to determine the
project’s direction.
The meeting lasted for more than an hour,
and it had started to rain outside.
When everyone went out, they ran into their
cars one after another. Since the steps at the
entrance were on low terrain, a pool of
stagnant rainwater had accumulated there.

Nicole walked out last. She was wearing her
custom-made Manoios that were incredibly
sleek and exquisite, so she hesitantly stood
on the steps_
Stanton Corporation’s Rolls-Royce parked
not far from the steps. The driver could not
get any closer even if he wanted to.
Maverick noticed his sister’s expression.
Since there was only one umbrella left,
Maverick habitually took it and propped it
over Nicole’s head. “Shall we?”

Nicole lowered her head and pointed her
toes as she said with regret, “The diamonds
on these shoes will fall off if they get wet…”
Maverick heard this and glanced at her. He



saw that she was wearing a short skirt
today that was not suitable for being carried
because picking her up would risk exposing
her.
Thus, he took off his bespoke suit jacket and
threw it on the ground in front of her. He
propped the umbrella on top of her head,
went two steps down, and held out his hand
as he said with extreme patience, “Now it
won’t get wet. Let’s go.’

Nicole sighed and thought she could only
make do with this.
She placed her hand on Maverick’s palm,
stepped on his expensive jacket, and got

into the car.
The driver, who saw this scene, secretly

grieved for himself and thought, Please don’ t fire me because of my driving skills..,’ Two other people
saw this scene as well. Gerard Lichman shook his head, ‘Now I’ve finally witnessed how nitpicky a
princess could be! She might even care if the air around her isn’t sweet enough, yet you treated her like
dirt!” Eric stared at the car with sunken eyes and gave him a cold look. He secretly clenched his teeth as
he knew about Maverick’s true identity.

Even international big shots were humble in that man’s presence and took the initiative to reach out to
him, yet he was being so servile to Nicole! The relationship between these two seemed to have
exceeded the boundary of regular friends. Were they too close? “Nikki!” A shout of surprise came from
the side as Molly Stewart waved at Nicole from a short







distance away. she was holding Tigger as she ran towards Nicole with great enthusiasm. Nicole was
stunned and smiled in response. She then whispered to Maverick, “She’s Molly Stewart.” oreimamprinag.
Maverick frowned. By then, Molly had already run to them and was just about to hug Nicole when she
noticed Maverick, who was standing in arm’s reach.

She was stupefied for a moment before she shouted in shock, “Holy sh*t! The Great God!” Without
another word, Molly chucked Tigger aside and hugged Maverick, which

made Maverick’s face turn white from
shock.
Maverick felt shy and embarrassed as he
pried this woman off his body. He sounded
upset as he said, “Please have some self-
respect.” III
How could Molly care for self-respect when
she saw her idol?
Molly could not control her excitement and
was not offended from being pushed away.



She tilted her head to look at the tall and lean Greek god of a man. “I’m Molly Stewart! I’ve sent you a
friend request and you’ve given me plenty of advice!” At this time, Molly thought it was important to close
the distance between them. Maverick gave her a slightly disdainful look. “I know. You’re stupid, slow, and
untalented.



A simple calculation can make you spin in circles…” Seeing that Molly’s excitement a few seconds ago
gradually morphed into distress, Nicole hurriedly tugged on Maverick’s sleeve and shook her head.
Maverick paused, then looked at Tigger who was crawling on the ground. His tone changed. “But…
Tigger is well-designed and made of a solid material.” Molly looked up at Maverick and smiled.

Her sadness earlier seemed to have
vanished.”Ws just a stupid tiger. I can still make it
smarter!”

Tigger kicked Molly with Its furry paw in protest. “You’re the stupid tiger! Your whole family is stupid!” ‘
Molly gave Tigger a threatening look and turned to Nicole and Maverick. You guys really know each
other! Nikki is The Great God your friend?” Nicole smiled and nodded, then tugged on Maverick’s arm.
“Molly’s my friend, so you need to be nicer to her. Don’t treat her the same way as you treat your PhD
students.”

Maverick was speechless. He looked away and let out a light grunt. Molly rubbed her hands in surprise
and winked at Nicole. Nicole added, “He’ll be joining this project as an external consultant. Molly, please
take care of him during this time_ ik Molly stared at her in surprise. “HuhT



The Great God is gonna listen to my command?!’ Molly thought. Seeing Molly’s trembling body, Nicole
laughed and whispered in her ear. “His identity should be kept secret for now.” Molly nodded in
understanding and was still somewhat dumbfounded. After saying their goodbyes, Nicole turned around
and got into the car.

The hem of her skirt accidentally got stuck in the door slit, so Nicole let out a cry of surprise. Maverick
silently threw away the umbrella, knelt on one knee to carefully unhook Nicole ‘s skirt, then turned to see
the shocked and dumbfounded Molly.



His voice was extremely clear and cold as he said, “Please help me to throw away the trash. Thank you.”
Without waiting for Molly to answer, Maverick got into the car and closed the door. Their car then
disappeared into the rain. Tigger, who was still playing in a pool of

water on the side, was left abandoned and confused_ haven’t gotten into the car yet…’
