Chapter 397
Marve remained still, her eyes flickering briefly to where Mason stood. His expression was impassive as he looked away.
Caby leaned in close and whispered in Marve’s ear, “Someone wants to see you. Ms, Scott, I hope you’ll cooperate.”
Mare glanced at Gaby, then sighed and followed her out reluctantly.
“Damn it! She pretends to be helpless about this situation, but I bet she’s loving it! Wendy spat

“Right? Who wouldn’t want special treatment? Who wants to eat this junk from the cafeteria? Dorothy added, equally displeased Cathy’s eyes lingered on Mason, who stood not far away.
Seeing that Wendy and Dorothy were getting heated up, she intervened calmly, “That’s enough. Let’s all go back to eating”
The group heeded Cathy’s words and settled back into their seats.
On the other side of the room, Zander sidled up to Mason and gossiped eagerly, “Hey, what was that look you gave her? Have you taken a liking to her? “Shut up and eat,” Mason replied coldly.
Looking at Mason’s cold expression, the other trainees from across the table chimed in, “Zander, you should low better. Our leader is the type who would never fall in love,”
“Exactly! Besides, the Scott family is bankrupt and Maeve is going through a messy divorce. Our leader has plenty of admirers–why would he be interested in used goods?–
“Watch your mouth! How can you give a girl such a degrading nickname?”
“Yeah right, Zander’s always very protective of the girls! Let’s behave and eat.”
Cathy overheard their conversation in the comer and took their words seriously. She tightened her grip on her spoon and caused it to soap in halt.
“I’m done eating.” She stood up with her plate and left the scene swiftly
At the same time, in the staff cafeteria, Maeve spotted Zayla.
Upon noticing Maeve, Zayla stood up promptly, addressing her, “Ms. Scott.”
Turning to Marve, Gaby remarked, “The both of you can take your time.”
“Alright.”
Once Gaby left, zayla approached Marve and said, “Ms, Scott, I finally managed to reach you!”
“Did something happen at the company?
Maeve bad spent the entire day here, which was a rare break from her duties in Mirage Group.
“There’s been a bit of an issue, and we might need you to handle it immediately.”
Marve continued eating her expression unchanged.
“Didn’t I entrust you to handle the company in my absence? Besides, there’s still Charle and Zion. What could possibly go wrong “It’s Boyce.”
Maeve’s movements froze at the mention of his name.
“What happened to Bryce?
Marve suddenly remembered yesterday’s phone call with Bryce when he mentioned he would come over today.
She waited all day for him but he didn’t show up. So, she assumed he might have had other urgent matters to attend to
However, it seemed like something serious happened.
Zayla’s expression darkened as she replied, “Bryce was injured on his way to Hackett Entertainment, and it was quite serious…”
Maeve immediately set down her spoon. Why didn’t you tell me about such a serious matter right away?
Observing Maeve’s agitation, Zayla explained, “Bryce wanted to keep it under wraps, but the situation has begun to impact our operations significantly
“I’ve initiated an investigation, and it seems that today’s accident was done on purpose. Someone tampered with the brakes and…”
“I’m heading there right away! Get a car ready!”
Maeve stormed out as she shot a glance at Gaby, who clearly knew what happened.
