Chapter 196 Atter Introducing Clara, Rob left.
Syndy usually disdained everyone. But this time, she approached Clara and began praising her, âBeing someone from a prestigious university must be impressive. Iâm expecting to learn a thing or two from you.â
Claraâs face bore a polite smile, but her eyes flashed triumphantly.
Maeve wasnât interested in watching their sycophantic display and was about to leave when Clara suddenly called out, âMaeve, I didnât expect you to be a company intern here, too. Could you join me for a coffee after work?â
Syndy glanced between Maeve and Clara, asking, âDo you know each other?â
Clara was about to speak, but Maeve quickly replied, âNot really,â
With that, Maeve turned and left.
Clara momentarily felt awkward, but Syndy casually remarked, âShe thinks she can underestimate everyone just because she has a p I canât stand women like that!
pretty face.
âDonât say that. Maybe she has her reasons. I remember she caused a commotion back in school.â Clara said, then suddenly covered her mouth, feigning a slip of the tongue. âOh, what am I saying!â
Sydney sensed she had caught on to something juicy about Maeve. She eagerly asked, âWhat happened? Tell me!â
âI donât know if itâs true. Just school rumors. They said she was an escort.â
âAn escort?â
Syndy scoffed, âI know it! How could someone so beautiful not be involved in that sort of thing?â
Syndy, Iâm only telling you because I think of you as a sister. Please donât tell anyone. Just keep it to yourselfâ
âYou can trust me. I wonât make things difficult for you,â Syndy assured her, eager to please Clara This wasnât just because Clara was a graduate student from a prestigious university. It was also because of her significant connection to Sergio, which warranted a personal introduction by Rob Clara couldnât help but smirk after seeing Syndy believe her.
After work, Maeve was preparing to rush to Mirage Group as decisions were awaiting her attention.
Clara called out from behind, âMaeve, I have something to discuss with you. Do you have a moment?â
not available,â Marve responded, not planning to show Clara any respect.
Clara blocked Maeveâs path and said, âItâs about Sergio. Donât you want to hear it?â
âIâm not interested. Please move aside,â Maeve said.
Previously, she didnât bother to take Clara seriously, but that didnât mean she would always tolerate the woman.
After seeing Maeveâs disinterest, Clara blurted out, âDid you know? I slept with Sergio.â
Maeve paused and turned back to see Claraâs smug smile, which she found rather amusing, âIs that supposed to be something to brag about?â
âOf course. Your marriage to Sergio is just a fluke. Now that Iâm with him, he will inevitably divorce you. Why donât you initiate it so you donât embarrass yourself?
Claraâs demeanor had lost all its former innocence. She was perhaps revealing her true nature.
Maeve smiled and responded, âIf you had the ability to make Sergio divorce me, you wouldnât be here trying to convince me.
Keep your little schemes to yourself. Even if you did sleep with Sergio, it doesnât bother me. Donât think about provoking me.â
Clara sneered, thinking Maeve was just trying not to feel humiliated. âWe didnât take precautions that night. What if Iâm pregnant?
Youâll have no choice but to divorce! Why are you making things difficult for yourself?â
*Please get your facts straight. Iâm not the person who doesnât want a divorce. You should probably discuss this with Sergio,â
Maeve said while glancing at her watch.
She realized she really shouldnât be wasting her time here with Clara.
