Chapter 145 Dan looked up in surprise.
âMs. Scott, youâre the CEO. Itâs unheard of for the CEO to meet an employee personally? Arenât you doing too much for Bryce?â
Normally, Bryce would immediately comply once they mentioned the penalty. However, Dan didnât know what got into him this time that he would refuse the CEO, He was so stubbom.
Maeve picked up her bag and left the office. She found Bryceâs address on his personal file and went to his house.
It seemed Bryce came from a tough background. Her expensive car caught a lot of attention in the small community.
Dan tried to flatter Maeve and opened, saying, âMs. Scott, let me take you there.â
âNo need. Iâll go up by myself.â
LID The people living in this old community were primarily elderly, and there were no elevators in any of the buildings, so they had to climb up on foot Maeve approached the third floor and knocked on the rusty iron doors. Soon, the door opened.
A man in casual clothing opened the door. He was tall and slim, with fair skin and deepâset eyes. He was almost two heads taller than Maeve, with an icy and handsome appearance that clearly outshone Lucas by a mile.
The man seemed stunned when he saw Maeve but quickly regained his composure and asked in a low voice, âWho is it?â
âBryce, whoâs there?â
An elderly voice came from inside the house.
âGrandma...â
esmiled and said, âHello, grandma, Iâm Ma Bryce was about to speak, but Maeve s When Bryce heard Maeveâs name, he frowned.
Bryceâs grandma, Helen, was inside the house. She was hunched over and seemned visually impaired.
She leaned forward and looked at Maeve, saying, âMaeve, are you Bryceâs girlfriend? Come in, come in!â
Helen enthusiastically pulled Maeve inside, Maeveâs smile froze on her face. She intended to get close to Helen, but she didnât expect to be treated as Bryceâs girlfriend as soon as she entered.
âGrandma, sheâs not...â
Before Bryce could finish his sentence, Helen interrupted, âBryce, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and make Maeve some tealâ Maeve was reluctantly pulled to the sofa by Helen.
Seeing Helenâs joyful expression, Bryce could only make tea first.
Maeveâs gaze remained locked on Bryce. She remembered in her past life, after Bryce became famous, Helen passed away.
Bryce cried out his eyes on a show. Before he became famous, he and his grandmother lived a poor life. After he became famous, his beloved grandmother passed away.
All that happened because Scott Media wasted his talents.
Bryce made a cup of tea and placed it before Maeve, but he didnât look too pleased by her arrival.
âMaeve, have you eaten? I will make you some food. Wait a moment, Iâm making dumplings today!â
Helen happily went to the kitchen.
Bryce looked coldly at Maeve and asked, âWhat do you want?â
âWould yo you believe it if I said Iâm here to promote you?â
Bryce frowned. He obviously ly didnât believe Maeve.
âThe company isnât that kind.â Bryce spoke coldly, âMs. Scott, as you can see, my family donât have t âIâm serious about promoting you.
the hixury to waste time with you.â
