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.
