Chapter 222 âOkay...â Maeve responded. Then, she followed Larry to the lounge.
âMrs. Brooks, is there anything in particular youâd like to eat?â
âJust a cup of tea, please.â
âAlright.â
Larry brought her the tea, and Maeve sat down on the couch. She asked, âHow has Mr. Brooks been at the company lately?â
âMr. Brooks? Heâs been absentâminded, and heâs been drinking heavily lately. But today, he seems more like himself, thanks to you, Mrs.
Brooks.â
Maeve frowned. âHeâs been drinking?â
âDidnât you know? Mr. Brooks was drunk the last time he went to Mirage Group.â Larry sounded concerned. âMr. Brooks has been drinking excessively these past few days. Iâm really worried about him.â
âDo you know why Sergio suddenly went to the Mirage Group that day?â
âThat... I donât know.â Larryâs expression gave him away.
After all, her presence here was suspicious, and even the Maeve lowered her gaze. Larry knew the truth, but he wasnât willing to tell her. After all, directors of the Brooks Group thought the same.
âAlright. Iâll talk to Sergio. You can leave now. I need to rest for a while.â
âAlright, Mrs. Brooks.â
Once Larry left, Maeve took out her phone. After hesitating for a moment, she sent a message to Zayla. âHelp me investigate the recent activities of the Brooks Group, and try to find out as many details as possible.â
Zayla quickly replied, âGot Itâ
Maeve still felt uneasy. She couldnât believe that Sergio would let her participate in the Brooks Groupâs meeting without any reservations and even give her 20% of the shares. There had to be more to it.
Meanwhile, Olivia Brown was scolding Clara harshly.
âCanât you even handle such a small task? Are you really a postgraduate student at Amenam University? Your Your work performance is dreadful.â Clara lowered her head, saying, âIâm sorry. I really didnât know how...â
âYou didnât know how? Arenât you supposed to be a top student? Your resume says that you aim to be a deputy manager. With your level of competence, do you think you even deserve that ambition?â
Claraâs face was drained of color.
Olivia sneered. âTake this proposal back and redo it! If you canât get it right, donât bother coming in to work tomorrow!â
Clara bit her lip. âIâll redo it right away...â
After Clara left the office, Olivia took her phone out and called Maeve In the Brooks Groupâs lounge, Maeve glanced at her phone. After ensuring that there were no surveillance cameras there, she answered the call Marve lowered her voice, âDidnât I tell you not to call me for now?â
âMs. Scott, I didnât mean to do so, but I think that thereâs something off about Clara.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âAccording to Claraâs academic records, sheâs been studying finance for years and has excellent grades. But, I just reviewed her proposal, and Itâs filled with mistakes. Something just doesnât add up.â
âMistakes?â
âYes, Iâve checked her browsing history, , and it seems like sheâs been looking up professional terms online. Plus, her market analyses are a mess. I suspect... that her qualifications or grades might be fabricated.â
Maeve drowned deeply. Clara was someone that Sergio had personally mentored. How could her credentials be questionable?
