The Queen's Back

Chapter 321

Their voices barged into Mona's ears, and she did her best to ignore them. She had gradually gotten used to Maxwell's current attitude.

At noon, because of the unexpected arrival of Barbara, Hattie had prepared a lot of food. At the dining table, it was all about Barbara and Maxwell's talking.

The two of them sometimes mentioned Mona's name, but she just buried her head in the meal and remained silent or casually replied sometimes. It was written all over her face that she was in a bad mood and wanted to talk to nobody.

It was a suffocating mealtime for her. Maxwell and Barbara talked like a couple, but she, the wife of Maxwell, was just like an outsider as she watched the two of them bantered.

After lunch, Barbara had no intention of leaving. The three of them sat on the sofa and chatted. Maxwell bragged that the Clem Group had signed another big deal about dozens of million dollars. As he spoke, Maxwell glanced at Mona from time to time, warning Mona not to interrupt.

Mona couldn't be bothered to talk. So be it. She just listened quietly. She couldn't believe that Maxwell had become such a shameless guy who called white black. He had lost a big deal but boasted he earned it. After sitting for a while, Mona really couldn't stand it anymore. Just as she was thinking of an excuse to go out, she heard her phone vibrate.

It was Brendan's message and asked her to go out. [Mona, are you free this afternoon? Let's have a cup of coffee. Take Maxwell along if he's also free.]

She had not seen Brendan since the Design Competition. But he would constantly transfer money to her account at every festival because she never replied to his text.

When Mona Alipay transferred it back to him, Brendan would transfer it to her again and add a message. [Don't be so distant. Call me Brenny. You won't lose. Take the money!]
