Never See You Again (Sergio and Maeve) novel Chapter 450

"It's probably for the best if Maeve isn't joining us. This is a talent show, after all. One less person means one less competitor."

"But we're a team. If Maeve doesn't show up, we'll be short-handed. What happens if our performance suffers and we get eliminated?"

"If the team gets cut, so be it. With so many people in one group, who do you think the audience will focus on? Maeve not being here might actually work in our favor."

The female trainees continued to debate heatedly.

Soon, the director team entered and announced, "Everyone, make sure your makeup is flawless! Mr. Brooks and Mr. Jefferson will be coming for an inspection soon!"

The mention of Sergio and Conner's arrival heightened everyone's excitement even more.

"It's one thing for Mr. Jefferson to show up, but Mr. Brooks too? This show is going to be a hit for sure!"

"Do you think Mr. Brooks is coming because of Maeve?"

"They've been fussing over a divorce for ages. Maeve's not even here now. Why would Mr. Brooks show up because of her?"

The female trainees continued speculating. As they were engrossed in their conversation, a woman in a baseball cap quietly standing in the corner went unaware.

…

Meanwhile, Sergio stood in front of the stage. He checked his watch and asked, "Is Maeve still not here yet?"

Larry shook his head. "I checked backstage. Mrs. Brooks isn't here."

Sergio fell silent, contemplating whether to call Maeve. He hesitated again as he scrolled through his contacts.

Just then, Conner's voice came from nearby. "Mr. Brooks, what a coincidence."

Sergio frowned at Conner's unexpected arrival.
