Never See You Again (Sergio and Maeve) novel Chapter 432

Maeve's words were meant to prick Conner because they shared knowledge of the five-billion-dollar affair hanging heavily between them. Conner's smile faded.

Nearby, Dorothy whispered, "Is Maeve nuts? Who does she think she is, dancing for five billion dollars?"

"How dare she speak to Mr. Jefferson like that? She's done for," muttered another.

Everyone awaited Maeve's inevitable downfall, but she merely gazed calmly at Conner.

Conner said indifferently, "I'm suddenly not in the mood today. Since Ms. Scott twisted her ankle, let's call it off."

Seeing Conner move on at last, Edward silently wiped the sweat from his forehead. With Sergio backing Maeve and Conner as head of the Jefferson family, he couldn't afford to offend either.

"Mr. Jefferson, if Maeve won't dance, I will. I dance much better than Maeve." Wendy volunteered again.

But this time, Conner didn't even spare her a glance. He stood up and announced, "That's enough for now. I hear the trainees have training this afternoon?"

"Yes, but their high-intensity training sessions are usually in the morning," Edward replied.

"Then have them simulate the morning session this afternoon. I'll observe," Conner said.

The female trainees' faces fell. More training? Training required them to be barefaced, but they couldn't have possibly returned to their dorms to remove their makeup now!

Only Maeve was makeup-free, leaving the others in a predicament.

Cathy had gone makeup-free that morning, but upon learning both male and female trainees would be present, she had applied light makeup. Her expression soured at the thought of sweating it off during training.
