Chapter 996

Clack! Click!

The sounds of people snapping photos and recording videos were interspersed with the occasional hoots and whistles. The eager crowd came to life as they seemed to revel in studying Maverick's naked body in great detail as if they wanted to unearth every inch of him.

Maverick got up at once and was about to run off when he paused and posed confidently instead.

Only a man who wasn't confident in his body would fear being seen, and his body was at least an eight out of ten, so he had nothing to fear!

Thus, banking on his excellent figure, he began eyeing the women in the crowd with soulful, come-hither gazes. As it was, several young women began blushing.

Satisfied, Maverick strode off dauntlessly, to the shock of all the other passersby.

Three days later.

Alexander and Elise had just finished a meeting with a client and were about to get in the car when they bumped into Owen who stepped out of a Mercedes-Benz that was parked on the side of the road.

"Miss White," Owen greeted lovingly as if she was the only person he could see.

Both Alexander and Elise were stunned at first.

Shouldn't guys who want to steal another man's wife try their hardest to avoid running into the other man? Why is he approaching us in the open?

They couldn't quite figure out what Owen was trying to do.

Elise felt a little awkward, but she pretended to be flustered as she greeted him, "Mr. Morgan."

Then, she took Alexander's arm and stuck right to him without looking at Owen.

She looked as if she was a meek little wife who was afraid that her husband would find out that she was cheating on him.

Alexander was so amused by her act that he couldn't help but smirk.

He had to admit that she was extremely convincing.

Elise secretly nudged his arm at once to warn him not to let the cat out of the bag. Thus, Alexander snapped out of it and went along with her act.
