Maverick, on the other hand, was staring at the document that was brought to him by Yellow. At the lower part of the document was a bold signature.

“Who got her the papers?” His sharp and unfriendly eyes looked at Yellow who had her head down.

Maverick picked up a lighter from the center table and clicked it. He raised the divorce papers and lit the edge. Slowly, he watched the paper burn and turned to ashes.

“The next time you go for such errands…” he clicked the lighter and watched as the blue flame popped up. He slowly raised his eyes and rested his gaze on Yellow for a few moments before he released the lighter and the flame disappeared.

“I’m sorry, boss, such a mistake won’t happen again,” Yellow promised.

“Leave,”

Yellow bowed before leaving.
