Maeve nodded, and Zion immediately went to get the car with her following closely behind.

Maeve was worried about the time and quickened her pace after leaving the Mirage Group. However, just as she was going down the stairs, her foot slipped, causing her to lean backward.

Maeve instinctively shut her eyes, expecting to meet the ground. However, she found herself in someone’s arms the next second. Maeve opened her eyes and saw Zion smiling at her.

Zion whispered, “Don’t worry, we won’t be late.”

Maeve blushed and quickly got into the car. Zion sat in the driver’s seat with a subtle smile.

“Fasten your seatbelt and hold on tight.” Before Maeve could fully grasp Zion’s words, he had already pressed down on the accelerator.

Maeve felt as if she might have been ejected from her seat at that moment if she had not secured herself.

As they approached the apartment, Maeve noticed Larry’s car had just arrived. Larry could only loiter outside without an access card.

Maeve picked up her bag. “I’ll go ahead.”

“Wait.” Zion gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind Maeve’s ear and said, “Go on.”

Maeve hesitated briefly but quickly got out of the car.

As he drove off, Zion’s smile disappeared when he looked back at Larry.

“Madam!” Larry was confused that Maeve hadn’t walked out from the residential area’s direction, but he didn’t ask about it. “Mr. Brooks asked me to take you back.”

Maeve nodded absentmindedly.

Larry hesitated for a moment before asking, “Madam, just now-”

“I went to the school library,” Maeve said. “What? Does he need to know everything I do every day?”

Previously, Sergio had a about wanting her to report what she did every day. She simply pretended not to see it. What did her actions have to do with him?

“Mr. Brooks is just worried about your safety…”

“He’s worried I’ll cheat on him, isn’t he?”

The chairman of the Brooks Group had been cheated on by a wife he didn’t love. It would indeed be embarrassing if that got out.

Larry wanted to explain, but seeing Maeve’s reluctance he chose to keep quiet. After all, what Maeve said was partly true but the main reason was that Sergio cared about her.

When they arrived at the Brooks Manor, Maeve pushed open the door.

Allie immediately approached her. “Madam, have you been enjoying yourself these past few months?”

“Yes. It was quite enjoyable,” Maeve replied casually. Then she asked, “When is Mrs. Brooks Senior coming over?”

“Mrs. Brooks Senior?”

Allie looked puzzled. “Mrs. Brooks Senior… didn’t say she was coming.”

Maeve frowned, her gaze falling on Sergio, who was sitting on the sofa not far away. Was he lying to her?

Maeve dropped her bag and said, “Allie, head upstairs first. There’s nothing here that requires your attention.”
