Chapter 220 Maeve was caught off guard, unsure of what Sergio intended to do as he bent down slowly. But before he could make a move, she quickly turned away.
After a momentary pause, Sergio released Maeve and said, âCome to the office with me. Iâll sort things out quickly.â
Maeve was about to decline, but Sergio continued, âSince youâve promised to give me three months. Let me spend a little more time with you, okay?â
Maeve had never seen Sergio being so humble. In her memory, he had always looked down on her. After a brief silence, Maeve pursed her lips and said, âAlright Sergio smiled at her response and drove toward the company.
At that moment, the atmosphere in the Brooks Group was chaotic. As Sergio entered the company, he coincidentally met Larry, who was about to search for him.
Larry was delighted to see Sergio. âMr. Brooks! Youâre back!â
Sergio had been muddleâheaded over the past few days. He couldnât even concentrate during the meetings. Many projects in the company needed his immediate attention, and the situation was dire.
âMr. Brooks, all the directors are waiting for you in the conference room now...â
As Larry spoke, he suddenly noticed Maeve standing beside Sergio. Maeve had remained silent all this while, so Larry was slightly surprised. He hadnât expected Sergio to bring Maeve along.
âLetâs go to the conference room,â Sergio said.
âThen, Iâll arrange for Mrs. Brooks to go to the lounge.
âThereâs no need for that,â Sergio interrupted. He instructed calmly, âMaeve and I will head to the conference room together.â
âWhat?â Larry thought that he had misheard.
But at that moment, Sergio had already taken Maeveâs Hand.
Maeve glanced down at their intertwined hands, Instinctively, she wanted to pull away.
But the warmth emanating from Sergioâs palm reminded her of the boy who had held her hand on the way back home many years ago.
Sergio led Maeve by the hand, and it drew the attention of the employees at the front desk.
âWhoâs Mr. Brooks holding hands with? Is she Mrs. Brooks?â
âNo. If sheâs Mrs. Brooks, then who was the lady who used to come with him?â
âDonât you know? Thatâs Mr. Brooksâ rumored girlfriend, not his wife.â
Chapter 220 Whispers surrounded them.
Maeve paid little attention. Sergio had never taken her to Brooks Group before, so it was normal for people not to recognize her.
Sergio, who had been/silent since a while ago, suddenly said, âLarry.â
âMr. Brooks, what can I do for you?â
âDismiss everyone who was gossiping behind our backs just now.â
âMr. Brooks!â
Larry was shocked, but Sergioâs expression was cold as he said, âDonât make me repeat myself.â
âYes... Mr. Brooks.â Larry lowered his head.
Maeve frowned. âYou donât have to do this. Iâm not bothered.â
âIâll make sure everyone knows youâre the true Mrs. Brooks, and I wonât let anyone gossip about you again.
After speaking, Sergio squeezed Maeyeâs hand tighter.
Maeve fell silent.
