Could Neville be using another name?
Her mind raced, recalling various instances of her dealings with Maverick.
Something didnât add up.
From the beginning, she was the one eager to meet Maverick, yet he always found excuses to postpone it.
Even during their solitary encounter, he had concealed his face with a mask.

âYes,â Fernando replied.
Stella invited him.
âIf you are not in a hurry, letâs have breakfast together.
â
Fernando didnât hesitate to join her.
The two purchased their breakfast and found a quiet spot to sit, as the workday had yet to commence.
