The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 25 Calm

Thankfully, Gwendolyn was the only person in the restroom, but there was no guarantee no one else wouldn’t come in.

She wanted to walk around Maverick to open the door, but her wrists were immediately restrained by

him.

“What are you afraid of?” Upon putting on a fake smile, he continued, “I told you I only wanted to chat with you. You may have successfully slipped away from me last night, but I won’t give you another chance to escape today.” CD

What’s there for us to talk about? The matter between us is ds clear as day. Flinging his hand away, she caressed her wrist and spat, “I’m not afraid of anything. I just think it’s unbelievable that the famous Mr. Wright would prevent someone from leaving the female restroom.”

As he gazed at her, he lit a cigarette.

In response to inhaling that pungent tobacco smell, she frowned with disgust.

The smoke made his expression appear darker as he interrogated, “Who’s the man sitting with you?”

His question confused her for a moment before she rolled her eyes at him pridefully. “It’s none of your business.”

Instead of being enraged by her reply, Maverick continued, “He seems to be interested in pursuing you. What about you? Do you like him?”

Hmm? I think I get what he’s doing now. Upon lifting her head, she stared at him with an odd look. “You came here to block my path because you’re jealous?”

Maverick was rendered speechless by her remark.

Unable to hold back her laughter, Gwendolyn cackled.

Irritated by her mockery, he scowled. “No matter what, you’re still my ex–wife. So, this kind of hanky- panky behavior will only tarnish my family’s reputation. I’m warning you! Stay away from those men!”

“Are you that bored, Mr. Wright? I’ll repeat myself–who I spend time with has nothing to do with you!”
