For the next two days, Maverick returned to Sunny Drive. As he arrived there with Ella, the loud commotion reached to their ears, and it made them wonder about the reason behind it. Among those people that exchanged words and stories, most of them were affected by the photos of Maverick and Ella spread through some social media accounts. One of the senior students, Fred Johanson, bravely stood up and asked Maverick, "Is the news true? You are the third wheel in Sam and Ella's relationship?" Maverick, frowning in a train of thoughts, reacted in panic, "A third wheel in their relationship?? What do you mean by? I don't know about it, for real." Then, Helen, another senior student, joined and showed her phone screen to Maverick. Through the screen, the news was written by one of the campus journalist, Winnie. "This is no true, really. I never stand between them though I have admired Ella from the first semester," Maverick clarified. His orbs tingled with insecurities and disbelief

Hitting the road with his limited edition Rolls-Royce Spectre, Maverick confidently pulled out to the street. He also lit up his mood by turning on some trending songs through the head unit. At that time, when he was waiting under the traffic lights, the song, on the automatic playlist, was sung by Justin Munchiez with title Not Your Special Friend. Through the pop song's lyrics, Maverick felt like looking at his own situation with his love interests. As a nerd who barely got closer to women, he had no ideas how to express his feelings to them. All he could do was admiring them from afar, just like what he had done to Ella. "I know, it's a waste, but I like you.." One of the lyrics was repeated, and it made Maverick sighed. His orbs immediately noticed the green light's emergence of the traffic light. He gently moved the transmission to the driving mode. Going straight in steady speed, Maverick kept his eyes on the direction given by the GPS. In less than twenty minutes, the

On another side of events, Adelyn had got the report on who had spread false rumor about Maverick in Sunny Drive. In her spacious study room, Adelyn read the report given by one of her people. Then, a derisive smile was painted on her mesmerizing beautiful face. "This boy must be a spoiled brat," She threw a wicked assumption while scanning at Aiden's latest photo. It was taken from one of his social media accounts. After that, she carefully checked Aiden's account on PostNow. In a split second, the screen of the the tab revealed the posts of Aiden, from monthly to yearly. They were mostly about his luxurious lifestyle as a son of a wealthy entrepreanur in the city. No wonder why he got a tons of likes of comments from his followers and fans. Yet, after around five minutes scrolling on the photos and its captions, there were three photos that captured her attention. Those photos were about some suits designed by his father. The suits were worn by Aiden and a few of his family

Raphael, acknowledging the words uttered, felt lighter in his heart. However, he looked unsure if Maverick would apologize his son easily. As he trembled, he queried in doubt, "Is this serious? I'm afraid you just prank me since Aiden has bullied too much, Mr. Parker." "I don't really mind it, for real. You can go now, Mr. Scotch. I believe both of us are chased by duties, aren't we?" Maverick mentioned. At the same time, he reminded the old man about his duty as an important person in his company. Listening to the reminder, Raphael finally stood on his feet. Though the tense in his face dominated, he sighed in relief. However, as he permitted himself to leave, his initiative to push Aiden for fixing the mess up didn't fade. In his mind, he had set up a plan to force his son to do his order no matter how stubborn he would refuse. Sitting on the passenger seat at the back, Raphael clenched his jaw. His grey orbs were aimed to the city view he passed with the car driven by Axel,

On another new day, Maverick met Adelyn at the cafe. Actually, he came because Adelyn invited him to have some talks. Firstly, they only shared things related to their daily activities and next plans. Yet, Maverick's calm face changed instantly when Adelyn mentioned Aiden's last condition in her mansion two nights before. "Trust me. He will not disturb or even bully you like before, Mave," Adelyn proudly mentioned, and she sipped the latte in her cup. Maverick blinked for a while. It was his first time getting extraordinary help from an influential woman like Adelyn Reyez. It was also a rare moment to have a woman as his wingman. "I know your true intention, Adelyn, and I'm thankful for what you have done for my own good," Maverick replied humbly. Then, he continued as he knitted his brows, "However, you don't have to make him suffer further. He is the son of an influential figure. I'm worried that he may sue you after this case is done." Adelyn chuckled once she heard those
