Chapter 435 Marve smiled faintly but said nothing.
Conner turned and left, with Edward hurrying to catch up.
As the sky darkened, the trainees were so worn out from the intense training that they barely had the energy y to eat.
âMy legs feel like theyâre not even me anymore...
âItâs all Maeveâs fault. If sheâd just danced earlier, we wouldnât have to go through this! Why is she so stubborn with her pride?
The female trainees kept complaining, but Maeve had already disappeared.
Zander was puzzled. He asked, âWhatâs wrong with Mr. Jefferson? Is he messing with us, or is he just fucking insane? Yeah, beâs definitely insane!
Mason put down his cutlery and cleaned up his tray. Zander noticed and was stunned, âHey! Is that all youâre eating?â
ignoring him, Mason checked the time and headed to the training ground.
He arrived 15 minutes early, but suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder. Thinking it was Maeve, Mason turned around, but to his surprise, it was Gathy.
She looked a bit awkward as she asked, âYou. Are you waiting for someone here?
âThatâs none of your business.â
As Mason was about to leave, Cathy grabbed his arm. âAre you waiting for Maeve?â
Mason frowned and shook off her hand. âWeâre not close, so stay out of my business.â
âWeâre neighbors, and we grew up together. I just donât want you to be deceived by a woman like Maeve!
âSheâs married, has a husband, and still messes around with other men! How can you tall for a woman like her?â
âShut up!â
Before Mason could respond, Maeve walked over. I thought Ms. Burns was the most dignified and proud among the trainees. I didnât expect you to gossip behind peopleâs backs. Guess I was wrong.â
Seeing Maeve approach, Cathy frowned. âMason, so you were waiting for her after all!
âAre you two dating? Maeve asked.
âNo.â Mason bluntly denied it.
Cathy added, âMaeve, Iâve told you before, Mason canât have a girlfriend. Stay away from hi âDonât pigeonhole him. Who are you to decide what he can or canât do?â
âYouâ Cathy, usually not one for arguments, found herself at a loss for words.
Mason grabbed Marveâs arm and pulled her away. He said coldly, âYou donât have to reason with irrelevant people.â
âMason! Your mom wonât be happy about this!â
âWhat does this have to do with you?â
Mason frowned and continued to lead Maeve to the other side of the training ground Maeve remarked, âActually, you donât have to be so harsh on Cathy. She clearly has a crush on you.â
Mason glanced at her indifferently and replied, âIf youâre here to talk about pointless matters, then we can end this conversation now.â
