“We’re home, love,” Spencer said when Maya looked around in confusion after being woken up.  Marrying a woman that had been pampered since she was born, Spencer wanted to give all the best he could give to Maya. He bought a new penthouse that was just twenty minutes drive from the Speed Incorporated office.  “Do you like it?” Spencer asked once they were inside the penthouse.  The surest person who knew Maya’s preferences was Emerald thus Spencer mustered his courage to ask Emerald’s help.  Maya hugged him and said, “I liked it so much.”  “It isn’t as big and as expen

“I have a meeting at 2 o’ clock this afternoon, come with me.” His voice sounded cold and stern while his eyes looked at her back tenderly. His reaction was quite a paradox.    Without looking at Maverick, she nodded her head and lifted her foot to leave the office. Her hand was on the handle when Maverick said, “Wait for a moment.”    She stood still before the door but dared not to turn, lest she would embarrass herself again. She waited for him and was almost tempted to turn and look because he had been quiet for a while.    She was nervous when she heard hurried steps coming from behind her. And suddenly she felt something was draped over her shoulders. She looked at it and was surprised that he covered her with a towel.   

The living room in the Strong Manor was lively when Maverick returned home. Laughter’s imbued the living room as the twins were comically making faces as though they were trying to entertain the adults.  “They're so adorable!” Maya giggled as she took a video of the twins.  “Troy and Thea, look at aunt Maya,” she called the twins’ attention and they both responded to her, making faces.  Theo caught sight of Maverick and said, smiling. “How’s the new CEO doing?”  Theo always had a good relationship with his siblings. Maya only acted a brat towards him because of Tracy. She and Tracy were best friends, but Theo broke Tracy’s heart that the

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. 

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
