The Queen's Back

Chapter 267

When Mona neared the office, she remembered that when she was framed for plagiarism by Molly, her former colleagues in the Design Department had spoken up for her on Twitter. Thinking of this, she told Haley to buy some coffee and desserts from the cafe beside

Clem Group and asked the staff to send them to the Design Department later.

After Mona arrived at Clem Group, she took Haley to the CEO's elevator and pressed the button on the top floor to go to Maxwell's office.

At the door, Haley was smart enough and didn't follow Moná over.

Mona tidied her hair at the door of Maxwell's office before knocking twice. "Maxwell, I've brought you lunch."

The naughty voice came from the door. Maxwell's hand that was signing the contract paused, and the corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile. "Come in!"

As he finished speaking, the smile on Maxwell's face disappeared. He wanted to let Mona know he was still angry.

Mona came in and saw Maxwell frowning. She thought, 'Fine, my husband is still mad at me. Fortunately, I've made lunch to soothe him.'

"Honey, are you done? I'm here to have lunch with you." Mona smiled. She placed the lunchbox on the coffee table and walked toward Maxwell.

When she got closer, she realized Maxwell was still reading the documents. He did not even look at her. Mona's slender arms wrapped around Maxwell's neck as her eyes glanced at the papers on the desk.

Mona said softly, "Honey, you ignored me. Let me ask you this. Do you think the documents are more important than me? If you answer correctly, you'll get a reward. If you give the wrong answer, you sleep alone tonight."

Mona's hand roamed across Maxwell's face. It was neither light nor heavy, just enough to make Maxwell feel itchy.

Touched by Mona, Maxwell immediately put down the documents in his hands. He wrapped his big hand around Mona's waist and let her sit on his lap.

Mona wrapped her arms around Maxwell's neck and smiled. "Tell me now."

Maxwell answered, "You're more important."

Almost as soon as Maxwell finished speaking, the kiss landed on his lips. Mona imitated Maxwell's usual technique and slowly rubbed against his lips, savoring them carefully.

Mona went limp in Maxwell's arms. She had
