Reckless Marriage Unyielding Love

Chapter 107

Although it was only a small meeting, there were many things to be dealt with. The meeting lasted well past the end of working hours, after which everyone packed up their things and headed back. Only Mikayla and Maxius were left in the conference room.

*Is Carlos picking you up today? If not, let's have dinner together!" Maxius smiled warmly.

"Yes, he's picking me up. I'll treat you next time!" Mikayla returned Maxius' smile as they left the conference room together.

The moment she returned to her office, Mikayla received a call from Carlos, asking her if she was done. Since her leg injury, Mikayla got off work on time daily and took any unfinished work home. The meeting today ran late but she forgot to inform Carlos. She took some documents with her before leaving the office with her phone. She answered cheerfully, "I'm done. Coming down now!"

Maxius looked silently at Mikayla's closed office door briefly before cleaning up his desk, picking up his briefcase, and leaving too.

Mikayla went downstairs and saw the black Ford waiting for her. Carlos first took her to dinner before they headed to the auction.

after Carlos and Mikayla's arrival, Winona and Jaxon also made their appearance. Winona held Jaxon's arm intimately, facing the cameras with a bright smile, while Jaxon showed off his handsome and elegant profile. Jaxon rarely appeared in the media since his wedding with Winona. And even when he was mentioned, it was in association with Mikayla's name, as Mikayla's ex-fiancé. The wedding he had planned didn't make a big splash in Xosa either. It was all eclipsed by Carlos' proposal. Jaxon planned to use the charity auction

with Jaxon. Plus, Jaxon told her that he would buy the necklace designed by Frederic for her during the auction. It was the first time Jaxon had mentioned gifting her something since they married.
