To the Love of My Life

Chapter 549: Chapter 549: Not Disturbing, That’s My Tenderness (3)

Back when Maya Mitchell was at Pristine’s Enterprises, she was silent and timid in front of Steve Burton. It was hard for him to notice that Maya was actually so eloquent and capable of amusing everyone at the table, dominating the conversation and becoming the centerpiece of the dinner.

Maya’s boss seemed quite proud to have such a subordinate, constantly urging Maya to toast the surrounding executives.

Maya didn’t hesitate, finishing a fifty-degree liquor in one gulp, as bold as a modern-day Mulan.

“Ms. Mitchell, you can really handle your alcohol. Let me toast to you too.”

With an excellent memory, Maya remembered everyone after a brief introduction from her boss. Seeing the person toasting, she said with a laugh, “Mr. Taylor, I must admit defeat. I can barely drink any more.”

“Ms. Mitchell, don’t be so modest. You alone at this table can outdrink all of us. You are a true heroine.” Mr. Taylor stood up and poured Maya a drink.

Maya raised her glass, getting up to clink glasses with Mr. Taylor.

She was wearing a low-cut white dress, and as she leaned forward, her attractive cleavage was exposed right in Steve Burton’s view.

Maya downed her drink and said with a troubled expression, “I’m not a heroine. My tolerance is just average. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Mr. Burton. He used to be my boss.”

Finishing her words, Maya turned her head and gave Steve Burton a deep smile, still maintaining her leaning posture.

Steve Burton nonchalantly glanced at Maya’s exposed chest, then looked away, leaning back lazily in his chair without saying a word.

Maya’s expression stiffened for a moment, and immediately she laughed and picked up the liquor from the table, pouring herself a glass. Raising it towards Steve Burton and maintaining her bright smile, she said, “Mr. Burton, as your former secretary and someone in charge of a project with Pristine’s Enterprises, I toast to you.”

Steve Burton didn’t look at Maya while lifting his eyebrows. After a moment, he picked up the glass in front of him, raised it to Maya, and took the first sip.

Maya laughed, raised her head, and finished her drink.

As Maya put down her glass and sat back in her seat, Steve Burton turned his head and glanced at her. After a pause, he addressed her boss, sitting next to her, “Mr. Leighton, you’re very capable, training my former employee to be so outstanding.”

This was the first time Maya recalled Steve Burton praising someone. She felt delighted, thinking her month of hard work and diligence had paid off.

“Where? Mr. Burton trained her well before.” After saying this politely, Mr. Leighton half-jokingly added, “Mr. Burton, you wouldn’t be thinking of poaching this employee back from me, would you?”

Steve Burton didn’t respond. He turned his head and looked at Maya, then half-jokingly said like Mr. Leighton, “You never know, at Pristine’s Enterprises, we never reject great talent.”

Maya blinked, “Mr. Burton, are you praising me as talent?”

Steve Burton laughed and did not continue the conversation.

Maya’s smile became even more attractive.

Steve Burton looked at her honey-coated smile, and a cold sneer flashed in his eyes.
