The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 1371 More Punctual Than Anyone Else

After Maverick heard this, he seemed to notice that he said something wrong, so he glanced at Grant with great regret.

With just one glance, Grant's gloomy gaze was fixed on him. This was the first time.

That was because Maverick's words reminded Aida of an unpleasant past.

Maverick instantly pursed his lips and looked at Aida with a complicated gaze for a few seconds.

He did not mean it.

Aida did not care about it. She smiled and continued to explain.

"Molly's family values your relationship very much, so they'll definitely take it seriously. If you two secretly get your marriage license, when they replace out, their good impression of you will be greatly reduced. Then, it'll also put Molly in a difficult position."

Hearing Aida's words, Maverick could not help but fall into thought. 'Is that really wrong? I just think that it's just a matter of time before we get our marriage license, so sooner or later won't matter. But what Aida said makes sense. It seems like this will ruin the big picture.'

After a few seconds of hesitation, Maverick nodded.

"Alright then. I'll wait for a while. Thanks, sis!"

Maverick called Aida "sis" out of respect.

Aida smiled. "You're welcome."

Maverick pursed his lips. Just as he was about to go upstairs, he hesitated for a few seconds and turned back to speak.

"Sis, how can you say that you have no relatives? All of us are your family."

The solemn way Maverick spoke was exactly the same as when he was doing experiments.

Even Aida froze.

Aida then nodded with red eyes.

Maverick finished speaking and went upstairs.

Grant went over and held her hand. His voice was low and husky.

"Mav doesn't have much emotional intelligence. He has always been like this since he was young. If he hadn't added that last statement, I would've hidden the family register so that he'll never be able to get a marriage license!"

'Mav deserves it for making Aida sad!' Grant thought.

Aida slapped Grant's body lightly with an angry smile. The two exchanged an infatuated glance.

Nicole was forced to see them show off their love again and did not want to look any further, so she went upstairs.

The weather was wet and cold. It was cloudy for several days.

Nicole finally returned to the office to work.

She had quite a lot of backlogs. Once she went to the office, she was busy until dark.

Logan had already segregated the work based on urgency, so Nicole could still handle it.

Another day was almost over. It was almost time to get off work, but Nicole still had a lot of unfinished things to deal with.

Some needed to be approved today, but seeing that it was getting late, Nicole finally could not bear it and asked, "Where's my brother? Is he still working overtime? Can you check if he's gone? How can he leave me with all these projects?"

These were clearly Grant's most promising projects, so how could he leave them behind now?

Logan raised his head with a complicated look.

"President Grant got off work on time today. He's even more punctual than ordinary employees."

Nicole faintly froze. Her eyes widened in surprise.' This isn't Grant's style!'

"What's wrong with my brother? I haven't even eaten dinner yet..."

Logan looked at her calmly and said, "Oh, he ordered takeout for you, so you can eat before working overtime."

Nicole was speechless and thought, 'Why do men change when they get married?! Sigh... I don't have a choice. If Grant doesn't go home, Aida will get worried.'

Thus, Nicole had no choice but to continue to work overtime and do whatever it takes to finish her work.

It was almost 10:00 pm.

Nicole was starting to get frustrated because she still had so many things on hand.

Logan brought in a cup of coffee.

"President, someone at the door wants to see you."

"I don't want to see anyone now! I don't even have enough time to finish my work, so push it."

Nicole was getting sleepy.

All she wanted was to finish her work earlier so that she could hurry back and catch her beauty sleep! Logan looked at her with a complicated expression.

Just as Logan was about to open his mouth to say something, there was a knock on the door.
