Chapter 64
Maeve held back her words and Sergio Ignored her. He suddenly hit the gas. “Pay me back the money I spent on you once we get home.”
Maeve grew annoyed at this. “You were the one who asked me out, and now you want me to foot the bill?”
“That was just for show.” Sergio shrugged.
“What’s wrong with spending money on your wife?” Maeve argued.
“You said it yourself, we’re only bound by law,” Sergio retorted.
Maeve was speechless. She wanted to take advantage of Sergio, but now it seemed like she had been too optimistic. A businessman like Sergio wouldn’t waste his money on just anyone.
“You’re so stingy!” Maeve took a deep breath.
Forget it, she wouldn’t get angry. She didn’t want to owe him anything anyway so she might as well pay. It
wasn’t as if she was poor.
When they returned home, Maeve’s phone was bombarded with news notifications. They were all pictures of her shopping with Sergio.
“The Brooks couple were seen holding hands in public.”
*The president was seen doting on his wife. Is this a fairytale?”
Such headlines kept popping up.
“Mr. Brooks was seen doting on Mrs. Brooks.”
Maeve found that particular headline annoying. Doting on her? How? By having her foot the bill?
Maeve glanced at Sergio, who was washing his hands in the kitchen. “I’ve been tight on cash lately, so…”
“It’s okay, you can pay in installments.” Sergio shrugged.
Feeling stifled by Sergio’s lack of reaction, Maeve took out her bank card and slammed it on the table
Here!”
She regretted buying such an expensive necklace. Maeve felt a pang of pain.
Sergio accepted the card nonchalantly.
Maeve asked, “Are you going to cook yourself?”
“Of course.” He had already given Allie the day off, and he couldn’t possibly eat the food Maeve made. Was it even edible?
Maeve saw the concern in Sergio’s expression. In plain words, he didn’t trust her cooking skills. But she didn’t care. It saved her the trouble of cooking.
Meanwhile, Clara saw the trending news on her phone from her dorm.
Chapter 64
Sergio and Maeve were seen shopping together.
Although Sergio and Maeve wore masks in the photos, she could still recognize them.
“Wow! I wish I had a rich husband too. It must be so blissful.” Jenny hugged her phone and sighed,
obviously not recognizing Sergio and Maeve.
Tiffany shook her head. “Forget it. We’re just ordinary civilians, we’ll never meet a president like him. At best, we’ll just be working for a balding president.”
“Who says so? Clara’s boyfriend is handsome and rich, and a president too!” Jenny snuggled up to Clara. Clara, don’t forget about us when you become the president’s wife!”
Clara forced a smile, feeling uneasy.
The people in her dorm didn’t know that her so–called boyfriend was Sergio. Sergio never liked appearing in magazines and major media outlets. However, with Sergio’s frequent trending news recently, her lie would be exposed if Jenny and Tiffany recognized him.
Clara couldn’t find peace as long as Maeve was still at Amenam University. Thinking of this, Clara bit her lip. She had to find a way to make Maeve leave Amenam University for good!
