Never See You Again

Meanwhile, Maeve jolted awake. She was startled by a dream that felt eerily familiar, almost like a glimpse into her past life. 

In the dream, she saw Seathburn City eventually falling under Zion’s rule. 

After rubbing her temples, Maeve shrugged it off as just another ordinary dream. 

It was early morning, and her phone had been ringing non–stop. She called Zayla back, and Zayla’s voice came through the line. “Ms. Scott, Mr. Owen from Hackett Group is asking for you.” 

“Now?” 

“Yes, he tried calling you last night, but you didn’t answer.” 

“Alright, I get it.” 

“Did he say why he needs to see me?” Maeve asked. 

“It seems to be about the trainee program,” Zayla replied. 

Since Maeve left Hackett Group and announced her position as the general manager of Mirage Group, Edward’s anxiety was no surprise. 

Many trainees had terminated their contracts, and the production team faced hefty compensation fees without Sergio’s sponsorship. 

With the situation escalating like this, the millions Conner had invested were likely down the drain. 

At noon, Maeve walked into Hackett Group. Unlike before, when she entered as a trainee, she now stepped in as the general manager of Mirage Group. 

Edward was already waiting in the lobby and rushed to greet her with a beaming smile. “Ms. Scott! It’s been a few days, and you look even more stunning now.” 

Maeve responded with a faint smile. 

Not far away, the two female trainees who had refused to leave, Dorothy and Wendy, came down the stairs. 

Dorothy had always been Wendy’s follower. Even though Wendy had backstabbed her, Dorothy couldn’t afford to pay the penalty fees and had to stick by Wendy’s side obediently. “Maeve! How dare you come back?” Wendy stormed forward to confront Maeve, but Edward quickly intercepted her. “What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?” 

Wendy glared at Maeve with fiery eyes. 

Maeve smiled and asked, “Ms. Owen, what’s gotten you so worked up?” 

“Maeve, I know it was you who deceived the other trainees into leaving Hackett Group! What good does it do you to sabotage us like this?” 

Before the female trainees left, Wendy had cornered them at Hackett Group and forced them to confess that Maeve had influenced their departure. 

Maeve raised an eyebrow. “Ms. Owen, you can’t just make baseless accusations.” 

“Stop pretending! You wanted to get back to Mirage Group, so you poached the Hackett Group’s trainees to curry favor!” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Wendy’s reckless words made Edward’s face darken instantly. 

He slapped Wendy and shouted, “Who allowed you to make a fool out of yourself? How dare you speak to Ms. Scott like that? Apologize to her immediately!”
