Chapter 58
This was good news, and everyone who had their hands in the real estate business had heard about it.
Sergio’s brows furrowed. He hadn’t heard from Maeve since this morning.
“A toast to you, Mr. Watt.” Clara knew that Serglo was thinking about Maeve. So she reluctantly
suppressed her emotions and poured Serglo another glass of wine.
However, Sergio suddenly stood up and left the private suite.
“Mr. Brooks!” The room fell into confusion, and Clara’s expression turned unpleasant. How could that
piece of land become part of a green city project?
Inside the restroom, Maeve had just finished washing her hands when she noticed her phone buzzing on the nearby countertop. Seeing Sergio’s name on the caller ID, Maeve answered the call. “What’s up?”
“Where are you?” Sergio didn’t sound happy.
Maeve wondered what she had done to provoke him again. “I’m eating with friends. What’s the matter? I’ll talk to you when I get back tonight.”
Just then, Clara’s voice came from the phone. “Sergio, come back quick. Everyone is waiting for you.”
Hearing this, Maeve hung up the phone without saying another word. How dare Sergio ask where she was
when he was out cheating?
Maeve put away her phone and turned to leave the restroom.
Clara was about to close the door to the private suite when she saw Maeve coming out of the restroom. Surprise flashed across her face and she quickly closed the door.
“Come here, Clara.” Sergio motioned her over.
Clara turned back to see that Sergio hadn’t noticed Maeve outside. I want to get some fresh air, Mr.
Brooks.”
“Alright,” Sergio said gently.
The people around them exchanged glances.
This wasn’t the first time Clara accompanied Sergio. In their circle, whenever there was a drinking session, the husbands wouldn’t call their wives and would bring their female companions instead.
And it was obvious what those companions were for.
After making sure no one was looking in her direction, Clara walked trailing after Maeve.
After a while, she heard someone chatting.
“I have to say, you’re truly something else. I admire you! Here, let’s toast!“Charlie raised his glass.
Maeve followed suit.
Chapter 58
Since food was being served, the door to the private suite wasn’t closed completely.
Clara saw Maeve and Zion sitting together and the latter even gave Maeve some of his food.
What was the relationship between Maeve, Zion, and Charlier?
“Miss, are you looking for the restroom? It’s over there.” A waiter suddenly spoke from behind, startling Clara and catching Maeve’s attention.
Maeve turned around and saw a familiar figure. But the figure quickly ran away.
“Is someone outside the door?” Zion asked.
Charlie looked around. “I don’t see anyone.”
Maeve frowned. “I think I saw Clara.”
If Clara was here, it meant Sergio was nearby. Were they in the other suite?
“I’ll go check!” Charlie made a move to get up.
But Maeve stopped him. “Don’t. It wouldn’t be good if we were discovered. Let me come up with a plan.”
