chapter 449 “No, I just woke up late..” Maeve glanced at Zion across from her. Seeing the smile on his face, she quickly looked away.

“I’ll be there soon,” she said, then hung up the phone.

“I’m full. The trainees have a show today, so I need to get going now.”

“I’ll drop you off,”

“Zion said and stood up.

Maeve nearly stumbled as she walked, but Zion quickly scooped her up in his arms.

By the time Maeve arrived at the Hackett Group, all the other trainees were already prepared to leave.

In the lobby, Wendy sneered, “Way to act like a superstar, Marve. Everyone’s been waiting for you.”

with a frown, Gaby approached Marve and whispered, “We need to prepare for tonight’s show this afternoon. Why are you so late?”

Maeve whispered back, “Don’t ask now. Just get them over there.”

Gaby nodded.

Maeve exchanged a glance with Mason. He deliberately slowed his pace, letting the others get into the car first.

Mason then said in a low voice, “If you want Conner to take a hit, you can’t go on the show.”

His intuition told him Maeve had a plan.

Maeve smiled faintly.

“Smart”

“So, what’s your plan? At least give me a heads–up.”

“Have you talked to the male trainees?”

“Yes,” Mason replied 1 He was well–liked among the male trainees, who all saw him as their brother. So, convincing them to jump ship wasn’t too challenging for him. As long as Maeve handled the penalty fees, they could leave together.

“Good. Just act like you know nothing and stick to the usual routine.”

Seeing Maeve’s reluctance to reveal anything more, Mason didn’t push further From a distance, Zander called out, “Mason! Let’s go!”

Mason hesitated but got in the car.

Gaby was in another car when she saw Marve hadn’t boarded yet. She approached her, asking, “Do you want to ride with me?”

“No, I’m not going to the show.”

“What? You’re not going? Gaby was stunned.

This time, they were scheduled to appear on a talent show. Losing a strong contender e Cathy was one thing, but now Maeve wasn’t participating either.

“Why didn’t you tell me something this important earlier?” Gaby frowned and took out her phone. “I need to discuss this with Mr.

Hackett before making a decision.”

Mar pulled out her phone and showed Gaby her chut history with Levi frum the night before.

“From now on, follow my lead.”

Seeing the messages, Gaby quickly put her phone away.

“Yes, Ms. Scott,” she said seriously.

Meanwhile, the trames had arrived in the dressing room at the show. Because it was a show day, the makeup artists were of better professionalism than usual Dorothy kept glancing at the door, and she grew increasingly frustrated. “Where’s Maeve? Isn’t she planning to participate?”
