Chapter 220
Maeve was caught off guard, unsure of what Sergio intended to do as he bent down slowly. But before he
could make a move, she quickly turned away.
After a momentary pause, Sergio released Maeve and said, “Come to the office with me. I’ll sort things
out quickly.”
Maeve was about to decline, but Sergio continued, “Since you’ve promised to give me three months. Let me spend a little more time with you, okay?”
Maeve had never seen Sergio being so humble. In her memory, he had always looked down on her. After a brief silence, Maeve pursed her lips and said, “Alright
Sergio smiled at her response and drove toward the company.
At that moment, the atmosphere in the Brooks Group was chaotic. As Sergio entered the company, he coincidentally met Larry, who was about to search for him.
Larry was delighted to see Sergio. “Mr. Brooks! You’re back!”
Sergio had been muddle–headed over the past few days. He couldn’t even concentrate during the meetings. Many projects in the company needed his immediate attention, and the situation was dire.
“Mr. Brooks, all the directors are waiting for you in the conference room now…”
As Larry spoke, he suddenly noticed Maeve standing beside Sergio. Maeve had remained silent all this while, so Larry was slightly surprised. He hadn’t expected Sergio to bring Maeve along.
“Let’s go to the conference room,” Sergio said.
“Then, I’ll arrange for Mrs. Brooks to go to the lounge.
“There’s no need for that,” Sergio interrupted. He instructed calmly, “Maeve and I will head to the conference room together.”
“What?” Larry thought that he had misheard.
But at that moment, Sergio had already taken Maeve’s Hand.
Maeve glanced down at their intertwined hands, Instinctively, she wanted to pull away.
But the warmth emanating from Sergio’s palm reminded her of the boy who had held her hand on the way back home many years ago.
Sergio led Maeve by the hand, and it drew the attention of the employees at the front desk.
“Who’s Mr. Brooks holding hands with? Is she Mrs. Brooks?”
“No. If she’s Mrs. Brooks, then who was the lady who used to come with him?”
“Don’t you know? That’s Mr. Brooks‘ rumored girlfriend, not his wife.”
Chapter 220
Whispers surrounded them.
Maeve paid little attention. Sergio had never taken her to Brooks Group before, so it was normal for people not to recognize her.
Sergio, who had been/silent since a while ago, suddenly said, “Larry.”
“Mr. Brooks, what can I do for you?”
“Dismiss everyone who was gossiping behind our backs just now.”
“Mr. Brooks!”
Larry was shocked, but Sergio’s expression was cold as he said, “Don’t make me repeat myself.”
“Yes… Mr. Brooks.” Larry lowered his head.
Maeve frowned. “You don’t have to do this. I’m not bothered.”
“I’ll make sure everyone knows you’re the true Mrs. Brooks, and I won’t let anyone gossip about you again.
After speaking, Sergio squeezed Maeye’s hand tighter.
Maeve fell silent.
