Never See You Again

Edward watched Cathy storm out in a huff and shook his head in resignation. It wasn’t long before Cathy barged into the Mirage Group lobby.

Zayla intercepted her outside Maeve’s office, but Cathy didn’t back down. “Let me in! I need to see Maeve! Let me in!”

Inside, Maeve put down the financial newspaper she was reading and said calmly, “Let her in ”

At Maeve’s command, Zayla stepped aside. Cathy burst into the office with her eyes blazing with anger. “Maeve! You lied to me!”

“Ats. Burns, I’m not sure what you’re referring to. Haven’t I given you everything you asked for?”

Cathy fumed, “You promised me a debut! Now Mason and the others are out there, and I’m still stuck at Hackett Group! How can you say you didn’t lie to me?”

“Ms. Burns, I met all your demands. As for your debut, that’s up to Hackett Group, not me. I don’t have the authority to alter their decisions.”

Maeve smiled indifferently and said, “If you’re here for an explanation, my answer is no comment.”

“You–Cathy was left speechless.

Finally, she said, “Fine. If Hackett Group won’t let me debut, I’ll join Mirage Group! You can’t control Hackett Group, but you can control Mirage Group! If you can bring Mason over, you can bring me too!”

Maeve raised an eyebrow, pretending to consider Cathy’s demand. “Ms. Burns, have you misunderstood something?

Cathy frowned. “What do you mean?”

“I fulfilled all my promises to you. Why should I agree to your new demands?”

“But I haven’t debuted yet!”

“That’s Hackett Group’s issue. We’ve already signed the contract, haven’t we?”

When Maeve spoke, Cathy realized she was at a dead end. It became clear that Maeve was deliberately making things difficult for her.

“Ms. Burns, if you really want to leave Hackett Group, you should follow the proper procedures instead of creating a scene here.

“Zayla, please escort Ms. Burns out and inform Mr. Owen of her demands today. I’m sure Mr. Owen will find a solution.”

Seeing Maeve’s unyielding stance, Cathy clenched her fists in silence.

After Cathy left, Zayla entered the office and said to Maeve, “Ms. Scott, are you really going to let her leave like that?”

“What else should I do? Let her stay and cause more t

trouble?”

“I’m concerned she might do something extreme and hurt you, Ms. Scott…”

“At this point, she can’t hurt me. If she’s wise enough, she’ll find a way to leave Hackett Group. Other than that, it’s not our concern.”

Maeve didn’t plan to waste any more time on Cathy. She asked, “How is Mason’s debut performance shaping up?”

“The results are much better than expected. He’s a natural. Ms. Scott, your judgment is spot–on.”

Maeve said, “Since things are looking good, let’s seize the moment and aim to make him a star within two weeks.”

“Two weeks? Ms. Scott, why the rush?” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Maeve smiled faintly and said, “I’m rushing to present Conner with a big gift”
