Byron stared at Maeve''s indifferent smile, with sharpness. his eyes 1
"Does that mean you don''t mind?" he asked.
"Why should I mind?" Maeve said, looked nonchnt. "We''re about to get a divorce. You can do whatever you want with anyone. It has nothing to do with me, right?" Byron thought, "What a good retort, saying that I can do whatever I want with anyone!
His expression darkened. "So what aboutst night?
"Since she wants a divorce, why did she still try to please mest night?'' he thought. Is she ying a trick on me?"
Maeve immediately left speechless.

thought of all the scenes fromst night, her cheeks fished, and her breathing became intense. However, she suppressed her reaction. Feigning puzzlement, she said, "It''s just a normal exchange of desires between adults. What''s the big deal? Mr. Medaniel, could it be that you still don''t understand this principle at this age?" Byron thought, ''At t this sage...
He looked at her with a chilling gaze. A sneer was disyed on his thin lips. "Maeve, you''d better remember what you just said. Don''t regret it." With that said, he shook off Maeve''s hand with a cold expression, turned around, and strode away.
Maeve''s appearance ofposure that she feigned fell apart. Her lips were bitten so hard that they were almost bleeding. Her face was pale and grim.
"It isn''t what I think?'' she thought. I didn''t think it. I just saw it. Fromst night until just now, he''s been with Karen, hugging each other like a pair of lovers. Worried about him being sick, I rushed over, looking like a fool. Last night, I was even more foolish. I actually thought he liked me too, which was why he treated me that way. But I forgot that one can have a desire for someone without having feelings for that person. bumped into Ray, who was hurriedly running out.
When Maeve returned to Bonnie sward in a daze,

The mask on his face hung over one ear, and his enchanting face was slightly flushed, as if he had been pped. His attractive eyes were filled with confusion. Maeve was shocked by his appearance. "Dr. "Dr. George, what happened to you?" she asked.
"Mrs. Mcdaniel, your
friend is really fierce, Ray said, forcing a smile and adjusting his mask. He did not say much. "Go in and check on her. Just call me if there''s any problem." With that said, he left, absorbed in his thoughts and looking a bit dazed.
Maeve couldn''t be bothered about her frustration anymore. She went into the ward.
She saw Bonnie curled up under the nket with her head buried in it.
She walked over and patted her, saying, "Bonnie? What happened just now?"
Hiding under the nket, Bonnie cried as she said, “Maeve, my butt is not clean anymore."

Maeve''s expression changed, and she immediately asked, "What happened? Did Dr. George take the opportunity to mistreat you?
"Not exactly. Bonnie stammered. "After the adjustment was done, he kindly helped pull the nket over me. I was in so much pain that I curled up a little... It just so happened that my butt came into contact with his hand..." Under the nket was her butt. One could imagine what the situation was like at that moment.
Maeve thought of the red mark on Ray''s face and suddenly understood. And then you pped him?"
"That was a reflex reaction, Bonnie said angrily." "If his hand hadn''t been there, my butt wouldn''t have coincidentallye into contact with...
Noticing Bonnie''s
nnie''s voice trailing off, off, Maeve knew I Bonnie felt a bit bit guilty. She could not help but say with a smile, "When Dr. George left your ward, he looked all dazed. You probably stunned him with that p."
She thought, "He''s not just stunned. Judging by Ray''s expression, it was as if he had never been pped before in his life, and his self-esteem took a serious hit.
Bonnie emerged from under the nket. "I don''t care. I was the one who got the short end of the stick"
"Do you want to switch doctors to avoid feeling awkward when you see him?"
"Forget it. Switching doctors would just mean having to adjust all over again, which would be even more ufortable."
Maeve nodded and didn''t think much about it. She then asked, "Bonnie, do you know any reliablewyers?" "Yes, I do. What area are you looking to consult about?"
"Divorce."
On the day Maeve returned to work, she received a warm wee from everyone in the entire office.
It must be
t be noted that it had been four consecutive years since anyone from Eternal Hope had defeated Alex and won the award for the most eye-catching design. Hence, after the design exhibition ended, Maeve and Jack became thepany''s cutting-edge designers and received a lot attention.

Everyone in the office felt proud of their achievement.
"It feels so good. I can feel good until the next exhibition. Those sons of a b***h downstairs won''t have this good fortune."
I''m going to thepany cafeteria for lunch today to interview people from other offices about how it feels when no one won any awards in the exhibition." "They previously mocked our new hires backstage, but in the end, they turned out to be even worse than our new hires."
Everyone burst intoughter.
It was only then that Maeve realized that thepetition between the offices at Eternal Hope was quite intense.N?velDrama.Org content rights.

If any floor''s design office failed to meet performance standards twice in a row, it would be harshly demoted by getting inoved to a lower floor. This led to designers on the lower floors desperately trying to move up, while those on the higher floors fought hard to keep their positions. $75%0
designers from different offices ran into each other, it was like meeting enemies, almost as if they would draw their swords on the spot. Now that they had a chance to show off in front of others, they naturally wouldn''t let such an opportunity pass. "Maeve,e over here," Leah said from behind her desk.
Maeve walked over and asked, "Ms. Mason, what''s the matter?"
Leah ced three documents in front of her. "Still remember the right to choose designs for the seasonal collection, right? It''s one of the rewards after Morningstar won the award. These projects are some of thepany''s top assets. You and Jack are lucky this time" Maeve silently marveled at the I at thepany''s generosity. Then, she opened the documents. One was for the
of for the design f this year''s summer fashion collection, another was for the private custom design of a spring suit. and thest was a private custom design for a renowned actress''s year-end red carpet gown.
Each was tempting and desirable, but Maeve could only choose one.
"How is it?
Have you made your choice?" Leah raised her eyebrows and asked when she saw the conflicted look on Maeve''s face. "Or should we just draw lots?"
A trace of helplessness shed across Maeve''s calm face as she finally made a decision.
Her wless fingertips tapped the document in the middle. "Ms. Mason. I choose this one."
"A custom suit?" Leah I was surprised. "I thought this would be thest thing you''d choose. I figured it would be snatched away by Jack."
"When I was making gowns previously, my eyes were almost blurry from the crewelwork. This time, I want something a bit easier and a change in the type of work." Maeve smiled casually. It should be very interesting" Eternal Hope specialized in wedding dresses and fashion, but their custom designs, whether for men or women, were equally outstanding.
Touching her chin, Leah smiled mysteriously. I can only say that you have good judgment.”
Each of these three choices carried its own significance.
The first one pertained to this year''s summer fashion show, which would be a highly anticipated event.
The design of a custom gown for a renowned actress was the easiest way to spread poprity, which would benefit a desigger''s fame.
As for the custom suit, that presented a different scenario altogether.
While Maeve was still in puzzlement, Leah tossed her a contract with a business card on it.
"This is the address of the client''spany. Just go there directly. Whether or not you can get the client to acknowledge your design caliber and sign this final contract depends on your ability."
