Chapter 206 Maeve had no intention of arguing, but Claraâs arrogance had to be dealt with if she wanted to continue with a smooth internship.
âMs. Scott! I didnât expect you to come in turned to shock when he saw Maeve. Wh, on!â Rob approached with a smile, but his expression was going on?
âThis is Ms. Scott. Sheâs also Mr. Brooksâ wife,â Zayla explained.
The color drained from Robâs face. âMr. Brooksâ wife?â
He glanced between Maeve and Clara. âSo, you are Mr. Brooksâ wife, and she...â
Clara frowned, clearly displeased.
Rob nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Sergio had never brought Maeve to events, so they didnât know what she looked like or that the Scott familyâs heiress was studying at Amenam University.
âMr. Tomkins, you seem nervous,â Maeve said, amused by his reaction.
âNo, no. I just didnât expect you to intern here, Mrs. Brooks. Our company is truly honored,â Rob stammered.
âOh? I thought I was lucky to intern here since I got into Amenam University through connections,â Maeve replied, making Erika uneasy.
âMrs. Brooks, youâre being too kind!â Rob was sweating nervously. He couldnât afford to offend either side -one was the legal wife while the other was the mistress!
âMr. Tomkins, hereâs the contract. Thereâs no need to discuss it further. This yearâs contract ends now; and Mr. Grant wonât be renewing with Tomkins Corporation next year,â Maeve said, handing the contract to Rob.
Rob was trembling.
Clara protested, âMaeve, the planning department has worked hard on this project. Isnât it too heartless of you to cancel everything with just one word?â
âOh? What do you suggest I do then, Ms. Stewart?â Maeve replied mockingly.
Clara stood tall and said confidently, âYouâve been interning at Tomkins Corporation for a few days, Didnât you see how hard everyone has worked? What gives you the right to cancel the contract with just one word?â
âBecause Iâm the boss of Scott Media, and I make all the decisions,â Maeve replied.
She watched Clara in disdain. âIn business settings, effort alone isnât enough. I think youâre not suitable to work here. Youâd be better off in a convent.â
âYou!â Clara was at a loss for words.
Chapter 204 2/2 âMrs. Brooks is right. Our planning does have some shortcomings...â Rob couldnât afford to offend Maeve, especially since she and Sergio were still married. He wouldnât be so foolish as to side with a mistress.
âMr. Tomkins, I am, first and foremost, the boss of Scott Media. Only after that am I Mrs. Brooks,â Maeve replied.
âYâYes, Ms. Scott! I misspoke. Please forgive me,â Rob said hastily.
âPlease bear with us if there were any issues during your time at Tomkins Corporation. We will ensure such incidents do not happen again in the future!â
