Never See You Again

Sergio didn't expect Maeve to actually cook. He put down his coffee and looked in her direction.

Maeve remained expressionless. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and never had to set

food in the kitchen.

In her past life, after she married Serglo, she heard Hailey say that the way to a man's heart was through his stomach. So, she began experimenting in the kitchen despite not cooking before. But in the end, Sergio never tasted her cooking. After all, Sergio loved Clara more.

After breakfast was ready, Sergio noticed she hadn't prepared any for him and frowned. "Where's mine?"

"Make it yourself." Maeve rolled her eyes.

Sergio's anger flared. "Maevel"

Maeve ignored him and tore into her bread. Since she no longer liked Sergio, she didn't need to go to such lengths to please him.

"I'm done," Maeve said after finishing her meal. She took her dishes to the kitchen and grabbed her bag, ready to leave.

Sergio asked, "Where are you going?"

"I have classes in the morning." Maeve clicked her tongue.

"Take the day off," Sergio demanded.

"Are you crazy?" Maeve reached her limit.

Sergio had been acting strange the entire morning. First, he gave Allie the day off, then made her cook breakfast, and now he wanted her to skip class.

After a while, Sergio spoke, "What's the deal with that piece of land?"

Maeve thought Sergio wouldn't ask. No wonder he was acting so strangely today. It turned out it was all

about profit.

Maeve shrugged. "I sold it."

"You sold it? To whom?" Sergio cocked a brow.

"That's none of your business." Maeve huffed.

"Maeve!" Sergio's voice turned cold. "Do you know how much that piece of land is worth now?"

"I don't, but I've held onto that land for far too long. Since the opportunity arose to sell it, I did," Maeve said nonchalantly.

"You!" Sergio gritted his teeth.

Maeve was pleased seeing how angry Sergio was.

"What's wrong, Mr. Brooks? Didn't you always hate that land? Yet you suddenly think it's valuable?" Maeve

sneered.

Sergio bit down his anger. "Who did you sell it to?"

Sensing Maeve's silence, Sergio asked again, "Did you already know that the land would be part of a green city project?"

He had thought about it all night and couldn't come up with any other possibility. Only a fool would spend ten billion dollars to buy land in the sewage district! He had thought Maeve was crazy, but now he felt she might have done it intentionally.

"Don't horse around, Mr. Brooks. I don't have your insight or vision. How could I have planned this far ahead? I just bought the land out of spite. You're overthinking it." Maeve looked sincere. For a moment, Sergio doubted himself and thought he really was overthinking it.

Since Sergio fell silent, Maeve didn't want to waste anymore time. "Can I leave now?"

"No." Sergio shook his head.

"What else do you want?" Maeve glanced at the time. This place was quite far from Amenam University. She was going to be late if she didn't leave now.

"I've told Larry to get a day off for you. You'll come shopping with me," Sergio informed.

"Shopping?" Maeve glared down at Sergio as if he was an idiot.

E

Sergio couldn't stand that look. He stared coldly at Maeve and explained, "It's all an act for the public. Do you think showing affection at the press conference was enough? Did you know the rumors about you meeting some man in the nightclub had caused a huge stir?"This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
