Chapter 484
Edward’s mind was spinning. Cathy had already been fired, so why were they suddenly bringing her back on board?
The contract clearly stated that Cathy was signing as a trainee with the Hackett Group. She had already signed the document, and it just needed Edward’s signature to be legally binding.
“But the trainee program is basically over. Even if the company signs Cathy, she has no chance of debuting…“.
The trainee program had long been out of funds, and currently, only Wendy and Dorothy were left. In just a few days, the program would be completely disbanded.
Joining the trainee program now was as pointless as lighting a lamp in broad daylight.
Maeve said, “You just have to sign Cathy, and I’ll have fulfilled my promise to her. Whether she debuts or not depends on her abilities. Don’t you agree, Mr. Owen?”
Edward quickly grasped Maeve’s meaning. He nodded and replied, “I understand. Ms. Scott, don’t worry, we’ll handle it.”
“Good.”
Maeve stood up and continued, “Cathy is eager to debut, but right now, the Hackett Group doesn’t have the capacity to debut trainees. I hope you understand what I mean, Mr.
Owen.”
“Don’t worry. I’m good at managing trainee’s expectations.”
“Alright, I’ll be heading back then. Rest assured, Mr. Owen. Your position is secure.”
“Got it! Ms. Scott, this way, please.” Edward politely escorted Maeve out.
Wendy gritted her teeth in anger as she watched from outside the conference room.
Beside her, Dorothy fanned the flames, saying, “What’s Maeve’s deal anyway? I heard Sergio is about to get engaged to the Ramoz family’s heiress, so Maeve is losing her position as Mrs. Brooks. Why does Mr. Owen still have to be so polite to a mere manager from Mirage Group?”
“Maeve ruined my dream of debuting!”
“Exactly. Otherwise, we would have already debuted and wouldn’t be here like lost souls.”
Dorothy tugged Wendy’s arm and said, “I heard that Maeve got her position as general manager through connections with Mr. Davenport. Maybe Mr. Brooks found out and
decided to divorce her.“.
“What? Mr. Davenport? The president of the Mirage Group, Zachary Davenport?”
“Yes. It’s ridiculous how lucky Maeve is. First, she married Mr. Brooks, and now she’s hooked up with Mr. Davenport.”
Dorothy deliberately told Wendy, “Well, Wendy, you’re so beautiful and come from an influential family. If Mr. Davenport had to choose, it should be you.”
“Hmph! Maeve only got into Mr. Davenport’s bed using her past family connections.
“Now that the Scott family is bankrupt, she still struts around like she’s in charge. Does she really think Hackett Group would be intimidated by a mere manager?”
Seeing Wendy had taken the bait, Dorothy added, “Exactly. Besides, she only got her position because of Mr. Davenport.
“But I heard that the entertainment gala in a few days will be attended by many big shots in the entertainment and business worlds. Mr. Davenport might be there, too. So, why don’t we…?”
Wendy’s eyes lit up. If she could win Zachary’s favor, she could rise to the top in no time.
“You’re right. The entertainment gala is an opportunity.”
Seeing Wendy was interested in attending, Dorothy stared at her pleadingly. “Wendy… can I go with you? I can help you keep an eye out or something.” Hearing this, Wendy raised an eyebrow. “Dorothy, don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. Do you think you’re worthy of attending such an event?”
Dorothy’s face fell, but Wendy then smiled and said, “But since you’re so well–informed, I’ll make an exception and bring you along this time.
“You’ll get to see the world, but if you dare to go after my Mr. Davenport, I’ll make sure you regret it.”
