Chapter 203 Sergio knew Clara had just been putting on a show in front of Maeve and the other employees.
Heâd already told Clara they were done with each other but he played along to see how Maeve would react. However, Maeve didnât seem to care about him at She didnât show any signs of jealousy.
âSergio, couples are supposed to support each other. We did spend a night together, after all. Are you in such a hurry to cut ties with me?â
Clara had noticed earlier in the company that Sergio saw her as nothing more than a tool. But she wasnât bothered. She had used Sergio, too. After all, they were cut from the same cloth!
Sergio gave Clara a cold glance and said, âIâm warning you, if you dare to hurt Maeve with those underhanded tactics, I wonât let you get away with it.â
Claraâs face turned pale. She held Sergioâs hand and softened her tone. âSergio, Maeve doesnât have any feelings/for you! She doesnât like you at all! But I really love you... Didnât we have a great time that night?â âEnough!â Sergio shook off Claraâs hand.
His eyes held a fierce gleam as he glared at Clara.
How dare you mention that night again? Clara, if you donât want to be kicked out of the Tomkins Corporation, youâd better not challenge me again! Otherwise, I will make sure Amenam University expels you!â
The color drained from Claraâs already pale face. She didnât dare to move, knowing Sergio meant his words. He might even do something far more brutal than he promised.
Sergio then turned and walked away, leaving Clara by herself.
Larry shot Clara a quick glance and remarked, âMs. Stewart, Mr. Brooks is already lenient by not exposing your lies. Itâs time for you to know your place and stop fantasizing about being Mrs. Brooks.â
With that said, Larry followed Sergio out.
Clara clenched her fists tightly and murmured to herself, âSergio... Donât you ever think that severing ties with me would be easy.
I wonât let you get your way! Mrs. Brooksâs position can only be mine!
Inside Tomkins Corporation, Maeve pushed away Bryceâs hand. She said, âEveryoneâs gone now.â
Bryce smiled faintly. âWho said I was helping you? I was worried that you might have a fever.â Maeve poured herself a cup of tea.
He continued. Seeing you so energetic now, you must be very healthy.â
She asked, âYour time at Tomkins Corporation is almost up, right?â
âIâll leave tomorrow.â Bryce raised an eyebrow. âAm I already on your mind before Iâm gone?â
âQuit being so full of yourself. Iâm just worried things wonât be the same once youâre gone.â
Recently, female employees looked at her as if she were a woman who would do anything to advance her 2/2 career. Rumors even spread that she used to be an escort in school and frequently engaged in indecent. trades.
Maeve knew Clara started these rumors, but she didnât care. The issues át Mirage Group were already keeping her too busy to deal with such trivial matters.
Bryce frowned. âAre they bullying you?â
âNot yet, but they probably will do so after you leave. The female employees avoided conflicts with her because Bryce was there daily to film. But once Bryce left, things could change.
After a moment of silence, Maeve patted Bryceâs shoulder and said, âIâll handle them. Iâll be fine.â
