The Queen's Back

Chapter 145

Chapter 145

Because Mona was genuinely hungry, Maxwell did not take her home to cook but instead chose a well-reputed private restaurant that was relatively close to the airport.

As for Nigel, Maxwell generously reimbursed his fare and sent him back to the company.

While waiting for his ride, Nigel could not help but roll his eyes at the sight of Maxwell carefully holding Mona's hand.

"That is a CEO in love. Oh, wait, no-a married CEO. It is hard to reconcile this with the cold CEO we knew,' he thought.

On the way to dinner, as Maxwell drove, Mona shared her experiences from the past few days with him, and her eyes occasionally glanced at his face.

She was not sure if it was her imagination, but Maxwell seemed to have lost weight. His chin appeared sharper, and his jawline more defined.

"Mrs. Carter, if you want to look, just look openly. We are married, it is legal." He teased.

Even though Maxwell's attention was on the road ahead, he could still feel Mona's intense gaze from the corner of his eye.

Mona retracted her gaze and asked, "Maxwell, have you not been eating well recently? I see that you have lost weight."

When Maxwell heard Mona's words, he could not help but cough twice. Just as he was about to "Maxwell, do not lie to me. Tell me the truth."

respond, Mona added,

Maxwell forcefully changed the words he was about to say, replying, "I only missed dinner once or twice."

Maxwell thought there had been too much going on at the company recently. He did not even have time to sleep, often going to bed at one or two in the morning.

Mona noticed the signs. "I think it is more than just once or twice, and you have not been sleeping well either, right? You have dark circles under your eyes," she said, her heart aching for him. *Mrs. Carter, you have eagle eyes." Maxwell joked, trying to lighten the mood.

Maxwell recalled that when he first returned to the country, he did not have time to rest properly. Later, things improved, but last night, knowing Mona was coming back, he had been too excited. He forced himself to lie in bed with his eyes closed for two or three hours.

"Flattering me will not help," Mona said firmly. "Do not do this again. You need to take care of your health. There is no end to making money."

Speaking of money, Mona thought of what Maxwell had said at the meeting. She asked curiously, "By the way, did you say at the meeting that you could increase Clem Group's turnover by 5%? Are you completely confident?" Maxwell met Mona's trusting gaze and joked, "Of course, I'm not confident. Isn't this to get them to support me? If I don't achieve it, I will have you take out money from your treasury to repay the debt."

"If that is the case, how much would it cost?" The money in her hands, plus what Maxwell
