Chapter 396 Maeve stood there and watched Gaby with a look that said, âLetâs see how youâll handle this.â
Wendy and the others hadnât gotten a satisfactory answer from her earlier, so they had to turn to Gaby.
Now, it was up to her to explain the situation such blatant favoritism would unsettle anyone.
Gaby faced the group and said, âThis is a decision made by the company. You have no right to interfere, and I donât need to explain everything to you.â
As the male trainees walked into the cafeteria, Zander noticed the tense atmosphere.
He immediately stepped forward with a playful grin and draped an arm over Gabyâs shoulder.
âWhatâs the matter, Gaby? Did someone mess with you? Chill out..â
âGet your hands off me,â Gaby replied coldly, leaving Zander embarrassed.
Zander had n Ino choice but to withdraw his hand.
Gaby scanned the room coldly, her voice was stem. âOnly Maeve gets special treatment! If anyone has an issue with it, step forward!â
âAll of us do!â Dorothy and Cathy led the charge, with the other trainees echoing their discontent. âGaby, weâre all trainees. Why is Maeve the only one that gets treated specially?â
âYeah, Why?â
âI think youâre protecting Maeve because sheâs got a sugar daddy, right?â
âExactly! I saw it too the other day. Marve arrived in a luxury car! Didnât her family go bankrupt and have to sell their manor?
Where did she get the money for a fancy car?
Everyoneâs frustrations spilled out, but Maeve didnât bother to respond to them. She casually poured herself a glass of water, waiting for Gaby to handle the situation.
âDamn, thatâs insane,â Zander whispered to Mason. âI thought Maeve got in got in here through connections, but turns out she has such a background.â
âWhy would she ditch Brooks Groupâs support for a sugar daddy?â
H âDo you think her sugar daddy might be someone from Hackett Entertainment?â
âHey, Wendy! Do you think your dadâs her sugar daddy? one of the guys shouted, causing an uproar of laughter.
After all, who could have more influence than the director of Hackett Entertainment?
Aside from the director of Hackett Entertainment, the only person with that much power would be the CEO of Hackett Group!
Surely, it couldnât be Levi, right?
Maeve heard the comments and responded with a playful grin, âWell, that handsome guyâs guess is quite plausible. Iâm almost convinced itâs true myselfâ âMaeve! How shameless can can you be? How old are you, and how old is my dad? How could you even think of seducing him?â Wendy snapped as she took the joke seriously.
Maeve laughed. âI was just joking. Thereâs no need to get so worked up. My standards arenât that low.â
The others started to see reason in Maeveâs words.
After all, the CEO of Brooks Group was far more prestigious than the director of Hackett Entertainment.
Besides, Sergio, the CEO of Brooks Group was known to be more handsome than most celebrities, Maeve w wasnât foolish enough to make such a poor tradeâoff.
Wendy calmed down as she realized Maeveâs point.
Maeve had always known that Wendy wasnât the sharpest tool in the shed, but she hadnât expected her to be this naive.
âEnough! Donât blame me for being ruthless if you continue gossiping like this,â Gaby intervened sternly.
She turned to Maeve and said, âFollow me to the staff cafeteria.â
