The more Maxwell spoke, the more nervous Fred became. He had the intention to step over the railing. He did not want to fall and be crippled. Or rather, he did not want to die today. He only wanted to scare Mona.
Fred’s wife said, “Fred, what are you doing? Didn’t we already agree on this? After selling the house, we’re just short of compensating Star. We’ll slowly return the money. What are you doing?”
Fred’s son said, “Dad, I’m graduating this year. I can earn money too. We’ll pay it back together.”
Fred’s daughter said, “Dad, come down now. I’ll behave well. I don’t want beautiful dresses anymore. I want you to be with us, Dad.”
Fred’s family rushed over and spoke to Fred one by one.

Fred looked at his family with tears in his eyes before he turned to Maxwell. “Do you mean what you said just now?”
Maxwell nodded. “Of course.”
After saying that, he left. The matter had been resolved.
After Maxwell left, Fred was dragged down by his family. He was trembling all over. His wife was so angry that she punched his chest and complained, “What are you doing? If anything happens to you, what will happen to us?”
After getting down, Fred still felt that his legs were a little weak. He patted his wife’s back and comforted her. “I’m fine. I’m fime.”
His wife said, “You can’t do this kind of stupid thing anymore.”
Fred said, “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
This farce ended in a good outcome. No one was harmed.
The police and onlookers were happy to see such an outcome. At the same time, they had a better impression of Star. When Barbara saw the news on the television, she grabbed the remote control in her hand so hard that it was about to break.
She thought, “The matter has been resolved so easily? What a bunch of losers! It’s so frustrating!‘
After Maxwell and Mona finished talking about what had just happened, they heard someone knock on the door and say that Fred had arrived.
“Go ahead. I’ll wait for you here. Let’s have lunch together.” Maxwell pinched the soft flesh on Mona’s waist.
Mona looked at Maxwell shyly before leaving the office.
In the conference room, Mona and Fred signed a new contract. Fred signed his name on the paper with tears in his eyes. Mona thought of his children at the door and said, “Don’t plagiarize again. Your wife and children need you.”
“No, I won’t do this kind of thing again. I’ll do things honestly. I’ll definitely pay you back,” Fred said firmly. After what had just happened, he decided that he couldn’t leave this debt to his wife and children.
Mona said, “I believe you. I heard that your son majored in sales. After graduation, if he wants, he can come to Star.” After listening to Maxwell, Mona felt that Fred’s son was a responsible person. Such a person could be given a chance.

“Alright. Thank you so much.” Fred looked at Mona excitedly. At first, he thought that she was a heartless woman. He was
wrong.
She had a soft heart.
After Fred and the others left Star, Mona finally relaxed completely. She sat in the office with Maxwell, who massaged her shoulders from time to time.
“Will you be busy with the company affairs this afternoon?” Mona asked.
“Not really. What’s wrong?” Maxwell asked.
“I was just asking. Come home early in the afternoon. I’ve prepared a little surprise for you!” Mona said with a smile.
Maxwell pinched Mona’s earlobe and looked at the watch on his wrist. He asked curiously, “What little surprise? Why don’t we go home and take a look now?”
Mona said, “It’s not home yet. I’m not ready yet. Stop massaging me. It’s about time. Let’s go eat.”
She hadn’t taken the down jacket back yet, so she couldn’t go home now.
“Then tell me, what have you prepared?” Maxwell asked.
She was halfway through her sentence, saying that she would give him a surprise, but she did not say what it was, which left him hanging. Maxwell was tempted and curious about the surprise Mona had prepared.
Mona smiled at Maxwell and whispered into his ear, “It’s a secret!”
Maxwell looked at Mona, very curious about her secret.
In the afternoon, Mona, accompanied by Haley, finally went to the warehouse to take her down jacket and Maxwell’s home.
The workers had got the down jackets down. Mona could just take it home and wear it.
After Mona returned home, she hung up the down jackets. One was black and the other was white. The white one was hers, and the black one was Maxwell. They looked very compatible.
Mona already had the image of Maxwell wearing the down jacket in her mind.
Before it was exactly five, Mona heard the sound of the car parked outside. That meant that Maxwell had already returned before five o’clock today.
Mona had already put on the down jacket. It was very warm. Most of her face was wrapped in the collar of the down jacket, making her look like a young student. She was full of vitality.
As soon as Maxwell entered, he saw Mona standing by the door. She was smiling at him. With just a glance, Maxwell’s heart was pounding. Of course, he also saw Mona change into a new outfit.
He immediately strode over and hugged her in his arms, his fingers pinching her earlobes.
Mona’s earlobes were soft and felt good to the touch. Maxwell liked to caress them. At the same time, Mona’s earlobes were especially sensitive. Maxwell felt like a child who had received a gift he liked and could not bear to part with it.
“Why are you wearing such a thick down jacket at home today?” Maxwell held Mona’s hand. He was glad that it was not cold. Mona did not answer Maxwell. Instead, she asked, “Does it look good?”
Maxwell nodded. Even if Mona wore a sack and asked Maxwell if it looked good, Maxwell would nod without hesitation and say that it looked good, let alone such a fitting down jacket.
“I’m glad it looks good. You have one too.” Mona held Maxwell’s hand and walked into the room.

“I have one too?” Maxwell said. He already knew what the surprise Mona had prepared for him was.

Mona squeezed Maxwell’s hand. She looked at him shyly and asked, “Didn’t you suggest we have matching outfits?”

Maxwell met Mona’s sparkling eyes and felt touched. “Yes, I suggested it. I didn’t expect you to finish it so quickly. I thought you had just finished drawing the design draft!”
Mona had drawn this design behind Maxwell’s back. She wanted to give him a surprise after the down jackets were made, so Maxwell didn’t even know when Mona had finished drawing it.
“Alright, then I forgive you. Come in
