Chapter 397 Marve remained still, her eyes flickering briefly to where Mason stood. His expression was impassive as he looked away.
Caby leaned in close and whispered in Marveâs ear, âSomeone wants to see you. Ms, Scott, I hope youâll cooperate.â
Mare glanced at Gaby, then sighed and followed her out reluctantly.
âDamn it! She pretends to be helpless about this situation, but I bet sheâs loving it! Wendy spat * * * * * * F âRight? Who wouldnât want special treatment? Who wants to eat this junk from the cafeteria? Dorothy added, equally displeased Cathyâs eyes lingered on Mason, who stood not far away.
Seeing that Wendy and Dorothy were getting heated up, she intervened calmly, âThatâs enough. Letâs all go back to eatingâ
The group heeded Cathyâs words and settled back into their seats.
On the other side of the room, Zander sidled up to Mason and gossiped eagerly, âHey, what was that look you gave her? Have you taken a liking to her? âShut up and eat,â Mason replied coldly.
Looking at Masonâs cold expression, the other trainees from across the table chimed in, âZander, you should low better. Our leader is the type who would never fall in love,â
âExactly! Besides, the Scott family is bankrupt and Maeve is going through a messy divorce. Our leader has plenty of admirersâ
why would he be interested in used goods?â
âWatch your mouth! How can you give a girl such a degrading nickname?â
âYeah right, Zanderâs always very protective of the girls! Letâs behave and eat.â
Cathy overheard their conversation in the comer and took their words seriously. She tightened her grip on her spoon and caused it to soap in halt.
âIâm done eating.â She stood up with her plate and left the scene swiftly At the same time, in the staff cafeteria, Maeve spotted Zayla.
Upon noticing Maeve, Zayla stood up promptly, addressing her, âMs. Scott.â
Turning to Marve, Gaby remarked, âThe both of you can take your time.â
âAlright.â
Once Gaby left, zayla approached Marve and said, âMs, Scott, I finally managed to reach you!â
âDid something happen at the company?
Maeve bad spent the entire day here, which was a rare break from her duties in Mirage Group.
âThereâs been a bit of an issue, and we might need you to handle it immediately.â
Marve continued eating her expression unchanged.
âDidnât I entrust you to handle the company in my absence? Besides, thereâs still Charle and Zion. What could possibly go wrong âItâs Boyce.â
Maeveâs movements froze at the mention of his name.
âWhat happened to Bryce?
Marve suddenly remembered yesterdayâs phone call with Bryce when he mentioned he would come over today.
She waited all day for him but he didnât show up. So, she assumed he might have had other urgent matters to attend to However, it seemed like something serious happened.
Zaylaâs expression darkened as she replied, âBryce was injured on his way to Hackett Entertainment, and it was quite serious...â
Maeve immediately set down her spoon. Why didnât you tell me about such a serious matter right away?
Observing Maeveâs agitation, Zayla explained, âBryce wanted to keep it under wraps, but the situation has begun to impact our operations significantly âIâve initiated an investigation, and it seems that todayâs accident was done on purpose. Someone tampered with the brakes and...â
âIâm heading there right away! Get a car ready!â
Maeve stormed out as she shot a glance at Gaby, who clearly knew what happened.
