Never See You Again (Sergio and Maeve) novel Chapter 417

Maeve turned and exited the mall, leaving Sergio to rub his temples in frustration.

"Who leaked the information?" he asked in a low voice.

"It seems like… it was Ms. Hoffman," Larry replied cautiously.

Only a handful of people in the company were aware of the birthday party preparations—from decorating the venue to selecting gifts and organizing the event. It was surprising that Cecilia got wind of it.

As Maeve's figure receded, Sergio asked, "Do you think I have no chance left?"

"Mr. Brooks…"

Even before this, Sergio could tell that Maeve showed no interest in him. When she spoke about that dream, though, there was a trace of bitterness and relief in her eyes.

…

Maeve stood outside the mall, regretting not having driven the car out before leaving. Now she was stranded on Seathburn City's busiest shopping street, wondering how to hail a cab.

Suddenly, a Porsche pulled up right in front of her. Before Maeve could react, the window rolled down, revealing Zion with a defiant look. "Get in," he said.

Without hesitation, Maeve slid into the passenger seat. "How did you know I was here?" she asked.

Zion remained impassive and turned on the car radio in a huff.

"And now, some breaking news: Sergio Brooks, CEO of Brooks Group, has spent a fortune to celebrate his estranged wife's birthday on the city's busiest commercial street..."

"The news got out so quickly."

Maeve chuckled lightly and continued, "Looks like we'll soon hear about the news of Mr. Brooks Senior causing a scene."

"Did she upset you?" Zion inquired.

"Not really," Maeve replied with a raised eyebrow. "Her words couldn't affect me at all."

A subtle smile played on Zion's lips. "Buckle up. I'm taking you somewhere."
