Will You Marry Me, Again

Chapter 76 Save Me

Maia gave her a thumbs-up. “You sure do.”

Tess laughed. “I'll leave it to you then. Her contract ends next month.” “lll take care of it, Aunt Tess.”

Celia wasn’t a versatile artist. She had a very youthful face, so she also couldn’t play many roles, but she was perfect for innocent and sweet characters.

Thinking the audience would grow tired of her youthful roles, her agency didn’t seem to care about her. However, she was valuable to Starlight Entertainment as her innocent image was just what they needed.

Tess was delighted by Maia’s promise. “That’s great! | should get going then. | need to see if Errol needs any help at the winery.” 11

“I'll walk you out.” Maia accompanied Tess as she headed to the elevator.

As they passed by the administrative department, they heard the assistants gossiping inside.

“Have you heard? Ms. Maia asked the tech department to restore the surveillance footage from the day the chairwoman jumped off the building.”

“Yeah, | heard about that. Is it about her death?”

“| always thought there was something fishy about it. Why would a successful businesswoman like Rosa jump off the building at the height of her career? I’ve worked at Starlight for nearly a decade, and | never sensed any signs of depression in her.

“Anyway, she was way better than that dumbass Phil, who nearly ruined Starlight and cost me my job!” Maia noticed that the person who spoke was the administrative manager.

Hearing this, Tess angrily marched toward them.

“Aunt Tess...” Taken aback, Maia was too late to stop her.

Upset, Tess said to the workers, “Are you paid to gossip? Don’t you have work to do?”

Alarmed, they shut up.

“Just get back to work,” Maia said casually as she pulled Tess away.

Tess fumed. “You should tell them off for gossiping during office hours.”

“People gossip all the time. Give them a break.”

“You're being too lenient with them.”

Maia smiled. “Calm down, Aunt Tess. I'll deal with them.”

The elevator doors opened, and Tess went inside.

“Bve, Aunt Tess. Drive safe, okay?”

Nodding her head, Tess waved at Maia.

When the doors closed, Maia headed toward the workers who had been talking earlier. They looked embarrassed to see Maia. The administrative manager said, “I'm sorry, Ms. Maia. We shouldn’t have done that.”

Maia smiled. “Don’t worry about it. Just focus on your work next time.”

“We will, Ms. Maia.”

Maia then beckoned for the manager to follow her out of the department.

“Paige, you said just now that you didn’t think my mom was suffering from depression, right?” Maia asked.

Surprised, Paige nodded readily. “Yeah, I’ve worked here for a decade, and when Rosa was the chairwoman, she often took me to the headquarters in Solisar. She was devoted to the company and had experienced the lows of Starlight before bringing it to new heights.

“Besides, she had no symptoms, and | had never seen her take any medication.”

Maia had to agree that this was a reasonable assumption. To Paige, Maia said, “I see. Go back to work.” “Ms. Maia?” Paige said, “If you manage to find any culprit to justice.”

Before Maia could respond, she added, “I'll get back to work then.”

Gazing after her, Maia smiled.

Returning to her office, Maia called Nigel.

“Hey, Maia, have you had your lunch yet?” Nigel asked cheerfully. “Yes, | have.” Maia said, “I’m calling to ask you to do something for me. I'd like to sue Theo.”

Stunned for a moment, Nigel said, “Theo? Your cousin?”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yup,” she said. 271 +15 BONUS

Concerned, Nigel said, “Didn’t Phil return two-thirds of the embezzled funds along with the shares? | thought you made a deal with him. Why are you suddenly suing Theo again?”

“Jordan found out that Theo had misappropriated more than 10 million dollars last year. “| see. Sead me the details. I'll take care of it.”

Maia smiled. “Thank you, Nigel. No discounts on your fees this time, okay?”

Nigel rubbed his forehead. “Okay, okay!”

Maia chuckled. She hung up after chatting with him a little more. She knew he would even handle the lawsuit for free, but she didn’t want to owe him anything.

Maia emailed the evidence to Nigel and started to go through the documents on her desk. After a while, her phone rang. The caller ID showed that it was Hope. Puzzled, Maia frowned and answered the call. “Hello?”

“Maia, save me...”
