The Queen's Back

"Maxwell, is there something good holding you in the room? Why are you taking so long to change your clothes?"

Mona could not help but tease Maxwell when he finally came out of the room.

"There's nothing better than you. I'm ready now. Are we still going to the airport?" Maxwell said sincerely.

After he went downstairs, he held Mona's hand immediately by instinct.

Haley was used to these situations. She grabbed Mona's suitcase and walked out of the house, giving them some personal space.

She was not going to be a third wheel.

"We're late because you're slow. Hurry up."

As soon as Mona finished speaking, they followed Haley's footsteps.

Halley drove on the way to the airport. Mona and Maxwell sat in the back. Maxwell held Mona's hand and never let go. His gaze was still on Mona.

The more he looked at her, the more he felt that she was beautiful. He was getting more reluctant to part with Mona and would like to keep her close by his side. He could not imagine how he had lived without Mona in the past.

Mona felt embarrassed by Maxwell's intense gazes. She leaned into Maxwell's embrace. She closed her eyes and took a nap to ignore the gazes. She would just let Maxwell look at her however he wished!

After Mona closed her eyes, her long eyelashes moved gently. The shadow of the lushy lashes cast on her snow-white face, giving off a sense of tranquility. Maxwell stared intently at Mona's sleeping face. He subconsciously tucked Mona's hair behind her ear.

Mona was not asleep. She only closed her eyes. When Maxwell touched her, she subconsciously blinked. She opened his eyes and looked at Maxwell. "Mona, when are you coming back to give me the special treatment?" Maxwell asked.

The two of them had not separated yet. Maxwell was already thinking about when they would meet again.

"I'll come back when I'm not busy," Mona said. She did not know when she would come back.

After hearing Mona's ambiguous answer, Maxwell frowned. "What if you're always busy? Why don't I help you apply for a day off from your manager?" "Please don't do so! Maxwell, I'll give you a surprise when I come back. Don't misuse your authority recklessly." Mona strictly prohibited him.

If the department manager gave her a day off for no reason when they were busy, other designers would not take it well.

"I know. I'm just saying. You have to come back. Otherwise, I'll be sad," Maxwell said aggrievedly.

"Alright, I'll definitely be back," Mona said softly.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

While they were talking, the car had already arrived at the airport.

After the car stopped, Maxwell still held Mona's hand and did not open the car door. He looked like he was being abandoned.

Mona could not stand it anymore. If others knew the company chairman was so needy for his wife, they might not have a good impression of him! "Alright, I'll be back in a few days. Don't be sad. You'll be fine alone." After Mona finished speaking, she kissed Maxwell on his cheek. Then, she slowly retracted her hand from Maxwell's grip. She was about to miss her flight.

Before Mona could open the car door, she was pulled by Maxwell from behind. He held the back of Mona's head as he kissed her on the lips. The kiss was filled with strong desire and possessiveness.

After a long while, Maxwell let go of Mona. He stroked Mona's cheek twice and said, "When you reach Noretin, remember to inform me. Don't talk nonsense with strangers over there. Also, if you don't want to talk to Barbara, just ignore her. After the Noretin Design Competition ends, I'll transfer her out. Most importantly, don't forget to miss me."

No matter what Maxwell said, Mona would nod. Mona felt like Maxwell was a parent sending off his young kid for a school outing, and she was the school kid.

"Alright, alright, alright. My dear husband, I'm leaving now. Bye!" Mona placed her hand on Maxwell's hand and took his hand off her cheek.

After Maxwell nodded, Mona opened the door. She looked at Maxwell longingly before getting out of the car. Their eyes met. A moment later, Mona closed the door.

She might not want to leave if they kept looking at each other any longer.

Maxwell looked through the car window and saw Mona joining the team members from the Design Department. Although he was reluctant to part with her, Mona had her own career and job. He could not imprison Mona by his side and crush her dream on the name of love.

He wanted Mona to shine in the field she was good at. He wanted her to live confidently and happily, even if he had to let go.

The plane flew across the blue sky and departed from Nathontown to Noretin.

On the plane, Mona finally felt the sadness of being separated from Maxwell. She felt emptiness, but fortunately, they were not separated for very long.

After the plane landed, the group

went straight to the hotel they had booked in advance. The Noretin Design Competition was hosted by the Conrad family from Noretin, The hotel booked by the Design Department belonged to the Conrad Corporation, which was involved in a wide range of businesses.

Haley helped Mona push her luggage, while Mona checked in at the hotel front desk.

When the hotel receptionist heard that they were the design team from Nathontown, she asked respectfully, "Hello, may I ask if Ms. Mona Clem is among you?"

Mona was a little confused when she was being called out. But, she still nodded. "Hello, I'm Mona. What's the matter?"

The receptionist smiled respectfully. "It's like this. Your last name is quite unique. We would like you to upgrade all your standard rooms to VIP rooms for free. The procedure has been completed. You can move in directly. Remember to give us the five-star rating in your

review!"

'An unique surname?' Mona asked herself silently, 'Was it that unique? But it was nice to have a free upgrade!'

She was having a lucky streak recently.

"Thank you." Mona smiled and walked to her room.

It was nice to have a free upgrading

from a standard room to a VIP room. The members from the Design Department looked at Mona with gratitude. The VIP rooms would be very comfortable. The room had a large bathroom, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a big bed. Several people immediately thanked Mona.

Mona smiled and said that it was the good fortune of the entire Design Department.

The people who checked in later also heard about the benefit for people with the last name of "Clem." Coincidentally, their design team also had personnel with the last name of "Clem."

However, the receptionist only smiled and said that there was only one free upgrade. It had already been used by the previous customer. They could only accept the fact that they were unlucky.

However, what they did not know was that even if they were the first to arrive, the upgrade still belonged to Mona. In the end, the last name "Clem" was not important, eBay mattered the most was the name of "Mona Clem."
