In the misty jacuzzi, Maeve leaned against the stone wall and massaged her temples to ease the headache brought about by insonunia.


    Leah came over with a towel wrapped around herself. She sat down opposite her and asked, "Maeve, do you mind if Lask you a private question?" "What is it?" Marve tilted her head.


    Tve seen your resume. It shows that you''re married. Leah rubbed her chin and sized her up. "Why did you get married so young?


    Before such an unexpected question, she was stunned for a moment and smiled faintly. "I had no choice. My family pushed me too hard."


    Leah found


    At that time, she had no choice. She could either marry Jeff or lind someone to make do with. However, she did not expect that man would now walk into her heart finally. quite a pity. What a pity for her brother. This was the first time in his life that he had a crush. But there was nothing he could do.


    "If that man doesn''t treat you well, tell me. I''ll beat him up in minutes. Leah patted her chest.


    Maeve was amused. But Leah might not be able to beat him. She said with a smile. "He won''t."


    "You''re so sure?" Leah doubted it.


    Yes, because we will divorce soon. He probably won''t have the chance to treat me badly anymore." Maeve lowered her eyes at the ripples on the water. "What?" Leah was pleasantly surprised. This''s so..."


    She swallowed the words and pretended to sigh. "A pity. But marriage is all about getting together and leaving. Can''t get along, just part with each other. Don''t be sad. Perhaps there''s a better one toe." For example, her brother, a perfect partner whocked experience and acted like a hothead, but had money and a house without parents to take care of. How suitable he was for marriage Considering that Maeve was not divorced yet, Leah swallowed these sales words.


    For some reason, Maeve''s heart felt stabbed when she heard the words ''Can''t get along, just part with each other". soaking in jacuzzi, they went to the cafe.

    "I''m sorry, we made a mistake just now. This is the coffee you ordered." The waiter walked over and reced Maeve''s coffee with an apologetic expression. Maeve picked up the new ss and took a sip. She could not help but frown.

    "Tin not as lucky as you I still have some things to deal with before I go to bed tonight," Leah said as she turned on her phone. "Wow, today is the Mcdaniel Group''s annual party. A week ahead of us. Maeve paused. The Mcdaniel Group?"


    "I saw the post from their seniors. The mysterious Mr. Mcdaniel was also present. I remember that the raffle was a luxury car worth 16 million dors. I don''t know what it is this year. So rich Leah was kind of jealous. The year-end lottery draw for Eternal Hope was also quite extravagant, but still inferior to the Mcdaniel Group, which spent money like water

    "Is the party over now? now?" Maeve hurriedly aske


    "I think the the lottery has just started. It shouldn''t be over yet, Leal said,


    Maeve immediately stood up. "I just remembered that I still have something on. I have to go back!"


    "Wait, we have a a barbecue partyter!" "Leah reached her hand.


    "So sorry for that. You guys have fun!" After saying that, Maeve jogged away without looking back, leaving Leah confused.


    After changing her clothes, Maeve ran to the nearest taxi. She turned on her phone and saw a few missed calls and messages, which were all calls from Byron


    At that time, Maeve didn''t take her phone, so she missed them all.


    She bit her lip in frustration. How could I forget this? The problem yesterday is one thing. But he wouldn''t think that I stood him up on purpose, would he?'' Maeve called back, but


    Sir, can you lower the heated not pick up. Perhaps he did not hear it at the venue. Perhaps she was too anxious, she felt, her cheeks and neck heat up. She couldn''t help but tug at her cor, but it was useless.


    It''s too hot," "Maeve said to the driver.


    The driver said in confusion, "The AC in my car is broken. I haven''t turned it on


    "Is that so?" Maeve used her hand as a fan to


    The traffic was congested all the way. It too cool her face. "Why do I feel so hot? Because I ran too fast just now?''

    Maeve paid for the ride and took the viewing elevator all the way up to the top floor. Unfortunately, she was toote. The party had already ended.


    The waiters were cleaning the venue, leaving only a few employees busy with something.


    Disappointment welled up in Maeve''s heart. At this moment, she saw a figure from the cortier of her eye and immediately jogged forward. "Archer!"


    Archer stopped with two bags in his hands and looked at Maeve in surprise, "Why are you sote!"


    "Where''s Byron?" Maeve hurriedly asked, "Has he left?"


    "Mr. Mcdaniel drank some wine and went back to Retro Apartment to change his clothes," Archer said tactfully. "He''s been waiting for you for more than an hour tonight. You should have called to inform him." Maeve felt a chill in her heart when hearing that Byron had been waiting for her for more than an hour.

    On the way here, she evenforted herself that they had just arreled yesterday, so even if she did note tonight, Byron would not care about it. Archer''s words hit her like a bolt of lightning


    However,


    Seeing that Maeve did not speak, Archer hesitated for a moment before saying, "You might not know that Ms. Booth has been fired by Mr. Mcdaniel. Although Mr. Mcdaniel did not give a reason, I guess it should be because of you." "Because of me?" Maeve was stunned.


    "As far as I know, Ms. Booth and Mr. Mcdaniel have known each other for many years and have quite a close rtionship. Back then, when she identally lost the contract worth hundreds of millions, Mr. Mcdaniel never med her," Archer said. "But after you left yesterday, Mr. Mcdaniel fired her."C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.
