“Malcolm?” Camila cleared her throat, feeling a bit puzzled. “What does he want?”

Maverick’s voice was low, but it still came through the receiver. “He has been appearing
on the front pages of major media outlets almost every day recently. The Ford Group
announced that David had joined them. At the same time, the president of Ford Group
is preparing for the wedding with David’s daughter. Two big news stories in a row are
enough to make Malcolm popular for a month.”
Camila chuckled. “David’s daughter? Is it Sophia? Is she worthy?”
“Our opinions don’t matter. The key is that now everyone believes that they are a
perfect match.”
“Damn!” Camila cursed angrily, “Does she really have the audacity to admit it?”
“If David dares to acknowledge her as his daughter, why wouldn’t she dare to
acknowledge him as her father?” Maverick was still wearing his robe; he was browsing
the news on a tablet. Suddenly, his eyebrows furrowed, as if he had seen something

unexpected.
Camila put her phone on speaker and said directly, “Sherry, I don’t really understand
business matters. If you have any questions, just ask the monster directly.”
“Monster?” Maverick raised an eyebrow suspiciously, making Camila feel guilty. She
quickly covered her mouth.
How could she forget that Maverick was easily offended? He had kept her up all night
last night, and now she had dark circles under her eyes, and her voice was a little
hoarse.

“No, you heard wrong. Camila quickly avoided his gaze and swiftly changed the
subject. “So, if that’s the case, Malcolm and Sophia are really planning to announce
their wedding to the world. One is getting married for the second time, and the other is
a mistress, yet they shamelessly announce it to the world? It’s incredible how
shameless they are.”
Maverick knew that she was changing the topic on purpose, but he didn’t expose her.
Anyway, they would have plenty of time in the future.

The matter at hand was more important. He said, “The wedding is actually a free
publicity event, equivalent to giving the Ford Group free advertisement. Why wouldn’t
they take advantage of it?”
Camila was so close to cursing. She huffed angrily, “No, I can’t just watch these two
scumbags live so well. I have to cause them some trouble.”
Maverick glanced at her but didn’t say anything.

As someone who had interacted with Sherry a few times, he was also on her side. Not
to mention, Sherry was his best friend’s lover and a close friend of Camila. It was only
natural for him to support her.
“Take care of yourself. Before you do anything, it’s best to let me know first. If your
cause a big mess, I’ll come and handle it for you, so you won’t have to come running to
me for help after your father reprimands you again.”
Camila retorted, “I won’t ask for your help. Even if I do, I’ll go to Sherry. My dad really
likes her, and he’ll definitely listen to her.”

“But I am the client of your father’s company. He will definitely listen to me too.”
Camila placed her phone between them, crossed her arms, and challenged him by
saying, “So what if you’re the client? Is the client really that powerful? We can just find
another client to cooperate with.”
“In the real estate industry in Herzoslovakia City, only my company and Malcolm’s
company have this scale. If your father gives up on me, he can only choose Malcolm.
It’s up to you.”
Camila’s face turned red. “I have a swear word, but I don’t know whether to say it or
not.”
“Say it.”
“F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!”
“Very well, you said it four times.” Maverick pushed his gold–rimmed glasses up and
smirked confidently. “According to the employee code of conduct set by the company,
if you insult your superior and use foul language, your salary for this month will be

halved, and your bonus will be forfeited.”
Camila instantly exploded, “F*ck?”
“Five times,” Maverick held out his palm and waved it in front of her. “Your salary will be
reduced to one–fourth, and it will continue for six months.”
Camila was dumbfounded. “You can’t be like this, right? The one–year probation period
is already unfair enough, but I stayed for my idol without any complaints. Now you’re
even deducting my probationary period salary. Do you have no humanity left?”
Maverick shrugged. “Capitalists are ruthless. Isn’t that already a known fact?”
Camila had always been a firm and assertive girl since she was young. She immediately
got angry and said, “Alright, Maverick, since we’re in front of Sherry, let’s have a good
argument! I don’t care if I lose my salary, I’m going to publicly insult you today.”
Maverick nodded, his face calm and composed. He even gave her a thumbs up,
applauding her actions. “Great, very impressive.”

“What do you mean by “impressive“?” Camila was furious. She grabbed her phone and
stormed toward the door. “I’m leaving. If I stay in the same room as you, you might
deduct my salary just for breathing. No, maybe you’ll even charge me for the air!”
Camila angrily slammed the door, causing a loud noise.
On the other end of the phone, Sherry was taken aback and quickly asked, “Camila, are
you okay? Are you alright?”
“Sherry…” Camila’s eyes turned red from anger. “If it weren’t for Christopher, I wouldn’t
tolerate Maverick’s nonsense! Being a fan is so demeaning!”
Sherry could sense the sadness in her voice, but she couldn’t help but chuckle. She
quickly reassured her, “Didn’t you mention last time that you discovered Christopher
isn’t as great as you thought? Hasn’t your idol’s image already crumbled? Why haven’t.
you stopped being a fan?”
“It’s not that simple to stop being a fan,” Camila replied. “Christopher has faced
hardships in his life. He doesn’t come from a privileged background, and he worked
tirelessly to debut and gain popularity. I feel obligated to support him.”

Sherry felt like she understood why Maverick’s attempts at confessing his feelings.
never succeeded. Camila had a masculine side to her, and she wasn’t very perceptive.
It’s possible that she didn’t grasp his hints. Moreover, this naive girl might have
developed feelings for Christopher.

No wonder Maverick was so desperate to win her over. But now that things had
reached this point, Camila remained oblivious. Sherry didn’t know whether to
sympathize with Maverick’s subtle affection or Camila’s modest love.
Regardless, the one who loved hard first would always be the loser in the relationship.
