Never See You Again

Sergio was afraid that Maeve would misunderstand. He furrowed his brows and said, “Taking over the Scott family isn't easy. I was just.....”

"I know what you mean. I was just teasing you. Don't take it so seriously," Maeve replied. She was smiling, but her eyes lacked mirth. Sergio was willing to introduce her to a few people in the business world, and she was happy to oblige.

She wasn't certain about the challenges of the business world, but she knew that she could at least make some valuable connections.

Seeing that Maeve wasn't upset, Sergio finally felt relieved. "Larry is waiting downstairs for us."

Sergio extended his hand to Maeve. Maeve knew what he meant, but she refrained from placing her hand in his palm.

"You can go ahead and send me the location," Maeve said.

"We're not going together?" Sergio Inquired.

"I want... to change into a different outfit," Maeve explained.

Maeve gestured with open arms, indicating her current simple attire. She hadn't even bothered to put on makeup when she had left the house today.

Sergio chuckled. "You look good in anything, so there's no need to dress up."

"How can that be? After all, we're meeting a few clients, so I should look presentable to complement Mr. Brooks handsome charm," Maeve

retorted.

Hearing Maeve's response, Sergio's face brightened with a simple smile. "Alright, I'll have Larry escort you."C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"There's no need," Maeve declined. "I can go there by myself."

Sergio watched Maeve for a moment, then smiled lightly and said, "Take care on your way."

"Okay." Maeve turned and left Sergio's office.

Sergio watched her go. Then, he became lost in thought.

Maeve went downstairs and called Olivia "Has Clara gone back home yet?"

"She's already left, Ms. Scott. Do you want me to call her back?"

Maeve replied calmly, "Arrange for her to meet me. I'll send you the location soon."

"But it's already so late."

"Don't worry, she'll meet me."

Maeve hung up the phone. Where Sergio appeared, Clara would surely show up, even if she had to rush there.

Meanwhile, Sergio had already sent her the restaurant's address. Maeve then forwarded the restaurant's address to Olivia.

Olivia asked, "What if Clara doesn't go?"

Maeve replied, "Just casually mention to her that the CEO of Brooks Group will also be at this restaurant."

Olivia answered, "Understood, Ms. Scott."

After ending the conversation, Maeve returned to Brooks Manor, Cecilia opened the door cheerfully, but upon seeing only Maeve there, her face fell in disappointment. "Madam... Did Sergio not come back with you?”

"He didn't. You seem a bit disappointed," Maeve said.

Cecilia quickly replied, "No, Madam, you're mistaken. I was just asking casually."

"Is that so? I was just speaking casually too, so don't mind it." Maeve similed and continued, "I just came back to change my clothes and freshen up"
