The Queen's Back

Chapter 152

Mona took leave until Monday. On the weekend, she even went to Horieta with Maxwell and was relieved to find that Bernard was in good health upon seeing him in person. Furthermore, Luke's team had already conducted tests on the ingredients involved in Bernard's poison. They only needed time to concoct an antidote.

Upon Mona received this update, a glimmer of hope flickered in her eyes.

On Monday, the sun shone on the ground, bringing some warmth to the cold winter. Maxwell held Mona's hand and walked into Clem Group.

When they reached the gate, Mona struggled a little. Maxwell did not move. He looked at Mona with a confused gaze

Maxwell thought, Why did she suddenly refuse to let me hold her hands? I haven't done anything overboard recently

As they approached the entrance of Clem Group, Mona glanced at the gate and murmured, "Just let go. We've come to the company, and it's not appropriate." After all, Maxwell was the CEO of Clem Group now. They had to be mindful of their public image.

Maxwell taking in the sight of employees bustling about, understood Mona's sensitivity to such matters. With a hint of reluctance. he released her hand They walked side by side into the company.

Upon reaching the elevator lobby, they found the regular elevator already crammed with a crowd of people. Mona wanted to queue to the side, but Maxwell pulled Mona forward without hesitation. They got into the CEO's private elevator. Everyone in the company knew that they were husband and wife. When they saw Mona and Maxwell enter the CEO's private elevator together, no one said anything.

The CEO's private elevator was spacious. As soon as they entered, Maxwell held Mona's hand in his arms. "There's no one watching now. We can hold hands."

Mona lowered her head and looked at their tightly held hands. There was warmth between their fingers, and her heart felt warm. "Why did you pull me into this elevator! If the staff beside me saw this, they would gossip."

"Whoever dares to say anything? They can say whatever they want unless they want to leave Clem Group." Maxwell's tone was calm, but Mona could actually hear his tone conveying quiet confidence, but he did have the privilege to say that.

Mona had always wanted to be like the ordinary employees of the Design Department, desiring no special treatment that would distinguish her from her peers. However, as Maxwell's wife, certain privileges were inevitably bestowed upon her. Occasionally, it was pleasant to savor the benefits of Maxwell's influence. After all, she was Mrs. Carter.
