Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 367

Freya tactfully hid behind Angela and Zack, trying to minimize her presence as much as possible.

Angela glanced at him, feeling that his thin face exuded a sense of righteousness. She couldn't help but develop a favorable impression of him. "Are you Maverick Newton?"

Maverick frowned, staring intently at Angela, whose expression was layered with complexity. He said firmly, "Who are you then? No matter who you are, leave my house now."

"He doesn't even recognize the CEO. What good can he be?" Zack thought, casting a doubtful glance at Maverick before shifting his gaze to Freya.

Freya felt even more awkward and murmured, "Mr. Newton, this is Ms. Angela Graham, the CEO of Graham Group. You must have seen her picture online, right?"

Maverick was nonchalant. "So what? I've already submitted my resignation. I'm no longer a part of Graham Group, and I have nothing to do with it. Stop bothering me."

He seemed quite irritated.

"Mr. Newton, Bryan has already been dealt with by Ms. Graham. He won't be able to target you anymore. You're so capable and principled.

"If you don't work for Ms. Graham, you'll regret it sooner or later," Freya spoke quickly, desperately trying to persuade Maverick to stay at Graham Group. If he stayed, it would also earn her some credit in front of Angela.

Angela asked earnestly, "Mr. Newton, may we come in and have a conversation? You mentioned that you submitted your resignation, but for positions at the level of the department head and above, hiring or dismissal requires approval from the executive office. So you're technically still employed."

In other words, he still had to listen to her.

Maverick felt conflicted. He felt utterly stifled but had no choice, so he reluctantly stepped aside to let Angela enter his house.

It was a small duplex townhouse. It wasn't very spacious and had a simple interior design. At a glance, it was clear that it was the home of a socially dull man who had little demand for material luxuries.

"Celestia Jewels has ended up in such a state. Bryan does bear great responsibility, but so do I. More importantly, it's my duty to set things right and restore order." Angela's voice was firm, carrying a sharp intensity.

Maverick was momentarily stunned. He looked at her in disbelief. "Are you... really from the headquarters?"

Angela was rendered speechless.

"Of course! She's the CEO of our company. Bryan is nothing compared to her. She has the final say on everything," Zack stood up and exclaimed.

Maverick's brows remained tightly furrowed as he stared intently at Angela, staying silent for a long time.

Angela got straight to the point. "I need your help. Starting tomorrow, you'll be the general manager of the company. I'll be here to support you, and together, we'll get the company back on track."
