Chapter 409 
Wendy’s expression darkened with dissatisfaction. 
Despite her hunger, the fear of appearing bulky on camera dampened her appetite. Convinced by Cathy’s remarks, she returned to her seat and idly prodded at her food 
Meanwhile, in the CEO’s officeof the Brooks Group, Sergio absentmindedly studied a photo of himself and Maeve. She appeared to be enjoying a piece of cake, while only half his 
face was visible. 
Larry entered, breaking Sergio’s reverie. “Mr. Brooks, we have an update on Ms. Sentt.” 
“Where has she been staying recently?” 
“At Lakeside Residence. The Scott family estate has been sold off, and with their bankruptcy, she seems to be facing financial difficulties.” 
Larry hesitated before continuing, “My sources suggest that Ms. Scott has joined the Hackett Group as a trainee. But I cannot confirm the accuracy of this information.” 

“A trainer? 
Sergio frowned at the revelation. He had never known Marve to have any interest in such pursuits. 
“Perhaps she sees it as an easier way to make ends meet. After all, with the Scotts‘ financial troubles, she must be going through a challenging time,” suggested Larry. Sergio fell silent at his words. 
Larry pressed on, “Mr. Brooks, I think this might be a chance to reconcile with her.“”

“Well. I don’t have much experience either. Should we get a copy of 36 Rules of Love“? 
“What’s that?” inquired Sergio. 
“It’s a collection of 36 strategies for love, and each of them is highly effective,” Larry confirmed. Sergio Barrowed his brow and uttered, “Then go ahead and get a copy. I’ll study it thoroughly.” “Alright!” Lany replied enthusiastically and promptly took out his phone to place an order. 
Sergio typed a few words into the Google search bar in silence. “How to win a girl’s heart‘ 
“To win a girl’s heart blend all my emotions into your heart, and hold all your joys within mine,” Sergio read coldly, his brow furrowing deeper. Across the desk, Larry seemed visibly awkward 
“Mr. Brooks, um, that’s not quite suitable,” Larry commented 
To win a girl’s heart, first and foremost, one must be humorous.” 
“Humorous?” Sergio pondered 
Glancing up at Larry, he asked, “Do you think I’m humorous?” 
“Mr. Brooks, humor might not exactly be your forte.” 
Sergio fell silent, deep in thought. Indeed, humor wasn’t exactly his strong suit
