Chapter 200 In so many years, the Mirage Group was the the first company confront the Brooks Group directly.
âMr. Brooks, what should we do? Our companyâs stocks have been falling recently, and Mirage Group has snatched up many projects, causing our sales across all companies to drop. If this continues, we will face significant losses âMirage Group is clearly targeting our market share. Perhaps we should consider taking some extraordinary measures,â
suggested one. director after another.
Currently unable to take direct action against Mirage Group, they could only resort to underhanded tactics behind the scenes. In the past, Sergio might have agreed without hesitation. But now, he fell into silence.
That night, he was drunk and acted on a hunch by going to Mirage Group, where he indeed saw Maeve. He wondered if Marve really had ties with the Mirage Group or perhaps with Zachary Sergio rubbed his temples as he felt weary. âI have other matters to attend to. Letâs discuss this later.â
With that, he stood up and left.
Larry suggested, âMr. Brooks, perhaps you should take some hangover medicine first.â
Sergio had drunk quite a bit the previous night, and he wasnât in the right state of mind.
âHave you found anything about Zachary?â Sergio asked.
âNot yet. His information is very wellâhidden. Iâve used all our contacts but still havenât uncovered anything about his personal life.â
âAnd what about Clara?â
âMs. S Stewart went to Tomkins Corporation on her own. Rob Tomkins, the general manager, personally received her, and now she is Ms. Scottâs supervisor.â
Larry didnât elaborate, but Sergio understood. When he used to take Clara to various highâprofile events, all the corporate bosses knew her. It seemed that Rob considered Clara to be one of the Brooks Larry asked, âMr. Brooks, should we ask Mr. Tomkins to fire Ms. Stewart?â
âNo need,â Sergio o stated flatly. âFrom now on, I I will not interfere in Claraâs matters.â
âUnderstood.â
âGet the car ready, I need to see Maeve.â
âTo the Tomkins Corporation?â Larry was taken aback as he knew that would mean running into Clara.
âThere are some things I need to ask her in person.â
At Tomkins Corporation, Maeve was enjoying a milkshake brought by Bryce at the photoshoot. Although Bryce had officially appointed her his. assistant, she didnât have to do anything, so she just hung around.
Bryce smiled at her during the shoot, and Maeve made a gesture that made his smile grow even wider.
At that moment, Syndy was standing at the door. She saw this and frowned. âMaeve, come out for a moment, Someone is looking for you.â
Maeve stood up and adjusted her appearance. Curious about the person visiting her workplace during the day, she saw the group of female employees in the work area standing up to look at the person entering from outside.
Rob was patiently talking with Sergio as they walked in together.
âMr. Brooks, the market response to our joint projects has been constructive recently. Itâs an honor for you to come and inspect our work.â
Sergio was distracted until he saw Maeve. Then, he softened his gaze.
Syndy added, âMr. Tomkins, Mr. Brooks, here she is. This is Maeve.â
Maeve frowned. She was surprised that Sergio had found her at her workplace. âGet me a quiet conference room. I have something to discuss with Maeve alone.â
