Chapter 194

The couple strolled through the bustling crowd when Maya’s call interrupted their peaceful moment.

Dominic’s face twisted into a frown as he answered, “Hello?”

“Dominic, I read that your flight has landed safely. I’m outside waiting for you. Let’s grab a meal

together. I’ve reserved a table at restaurant,” Maya chattered.

His expression changed. How did she find out about the flight? His schedule was supposed to be

confidential.

He responded, “There’s transportation waiting for us. I won’t be heading to the usual waiting area.”

“I’ll wait at the parking lot then.”

“No. I have something to take care of. You should get home first.”

With Mia waiting outside, Dominic couldn’t risk meeting up with Maya.

“I’m already here, Dominic. Don’t be such a stranger. I’ll go to the parking lot right away,” Maya said,

ending the call before he could refuse.

It wasn’t easy to find out about the couple’s schedule. Maya rarely had the chance to get insider

information about the couple. This was her one chance to get on their good side!

The fact that he was willing to attend her engagement ceremony was a huge deal.

Once she became Mrs. Barrett, and with Dominic as her backer, her status in Bern City would be

elevated!

When that event came to pass, no one would dare pose a threat to her position. She would command

the respect she desires.

Maya strategically approached Mia. “My brother and his wife are heading to the parking lot with a VIP

cart. Is your brother here yet?” Maya boasted, her expression prideful as ever.

Mia raised her eyebrow. “Maya Lane, is there a daily quota for your show–offs?”

“I didn’t mean it that way. I was just asking. Don’t be angry,” Maya replied, wearing a different

expression.

Shelly added fuel to the fire, chiming in, “We should go. Mia’s just jealous of the privileges rich people

like us have.”

Mia rolled her eyes. “Privilege my ass.”

Time was of the essence. If Dominic arrived at the parking lot before Maya did, he would definitely

leave without waiting for her.

Sensing the urgency, Maya left with a hurry.

Ten minutes later, Mia saw Dominic and Eva approaching the waiting area. Waving her hands, she

called out,” Dominic, Eva, I’m over here!”

He trod over with a smile before patting her head. “Sorry for keeping you waiting. Are your legs numb

yet?”

“I’m fine. It wasn’t that long.”

Discreetly, Eva scanned the area for Maya’s presence and sighed in relief when she wasn’t there.

“Let’s go. I’m kinda tired,” Eva said before feigning a yawn.

Dominic, understanding Eva’s unspoken concern, quickly led Mia out of the airport so they wouldn’t run

into Maya.

The trio hopped into a cab, and Dominic’s phone wouldn’t stop ringing.

He stole a quick glance, and just as he had expected, it was Maya calling non–stop.

However, knowing he couldn’t pick up the call, he put his phone on silent.

Mia glanced over her shoulder, concern evident in her expression, “Not going to pick up the call,

Dominic? What if it’s something urgent?”

“It’s nothing urgent. I’m on leave. It’s not like the company can’t survive without me,” he calmly brushed

her off, crafting a plausible excuse.

Seated next to him, Eva shot him a look.

She feels that they have greatly underestimated the sly fox Maya. How did she find out about their

schedule?

Mia, oblivious to the hidden drama, pulled out her phone to shoot a message in the group chat.

‘Heading home now. We’ll be having a feast tonight. Don’t be fashionably late, Connor.‘

Connor replied with an emoji.

He put his phone down, already contemplating skipping work for the feast. However, his peace was

short–lived as his phone continued to ring persistently.

It was Maya.
