In the misty jacuzzi, Maeve leaned against the stone wall and massaged her temples to ease the headache

brought about by insonunia.

Leah cover with a towel wrapped around herself. She sat down opposite her and asked, "Maeve, do you

mind if Lask you a private question?" "What is it?" Marve tilted her head.

Tve seen your resume. It shows that you're married. Leah rubbed her chin and sized her up. "Why did you get

married so young?

Before such an unexpected question, she was stunned for a moment and smiled faintly. "I had no choice. My

family pushedtoo hard."

Leah found

At that time, she had no choice. She could either marry Jeff or lind someone to make do with. However, she did

not expect that man would now walk into her heart finally. quite a pity. What a pity for her brother. This was the

first tin his life that he had a crush. But there was nothing he could do.

"If that man doesn't treat you well, tell me. I'll beat him up in minutes. Leah patted her chest.

Maeve was amused. But Leah might not be able to beat him. She said with a smile. "He won't."

"You're so sure?" Leah doubted it.

Yes, because we will divorce soon. He probably won't have the chance to treatbadly anymore." Maeve

lowered her eyes at the ripples on the water. "What?" Leah was pleasantly surprised. This's so..."

She swallowed the words and pretended to sigh. "A pity. But marriage is all about getting together and leaving.

Can't get along, just part with each other. Don't be sad. Perhaps there's a better one to come." For example, her

brother, a perfect partner who lacked experience and acted like a hothead, but had money and a house without

parents to take care of. How suitable he was for marriage Considering that Maeve was not divorced yet, Leah

swallowed these sales words.

For sreason, Maeve's heart felt stabbed when she heard the words 'Can't get along, just part with each

other". soaking in jacuzzi, they went to the cafe.

After

Maeve's coffee with an apologetic expression. Maeve picked up the new glass and took a sip. She could not help

"Tin not as lucky as you | still have sthings to deal with before | go to bed tonight," Leah said as she turned

on her phone. "Wow, today is the Mcdaniel Group's annual party. A week ahead of us. Maeve paused. The

Mcdaniel Group?"

The night before yesterday, had asked her if she wanted to attend Mcdaniel Group's annual party with him. She

even agreed at that time.

"Is the party over now? now?" Maeve hurriedly aske

"I think the the lottery has just started. It shouldn't be over yet, Leal said,

Maeve immediately stood up. "I just remembered that | still have something on. | have to go back!"

"Wait, we have a a barbecue party later!" "Leah reached her hand.

"So sorry for that. You guys have fun!" After saying that, Maeve jogged away without looking back, leaving Leah

confused.

After changing her clothes, Maeve ran to the nearest taxi. She turned on her phone and saw a few missed calls

and messages, which were all calls from Byron

At that time, Maeve didn't take her phone, so she missed them all.

She bit her lip in frustration. How could | forget this? The problem yesterday is one thing. But he wouldn't think

Sir, can you lower the heated not pick up. Perhaps he did not hear it at the venue. Perhaps she was too anxious,

It's too hot," "Maeve said to the driver.

The driver said in confusion, "The AC in my car is broken. | haven't turned it on

t took nearly an hour to arrive at Pearl Tower.

Maeve paid for the ride and took the viewing elevator all the way up to the top floor. Unfortunately, she was too

late. The party had already ended.

The waiters were cleaning the venue, leaving only a few employees busy with something.

Disappointment welled up in Maeve's heart. At this moment, she saw a figure from the cortier of her eye and

immediately jogged forward. "Archer!"

Archer stopped with two bags in his hands and looked at Maeve in surprise, "Why are you so late!"

"Where's Byron?" Maeve hurriedly asked, "Has he left?"

"Mr. Mcdaniel drank swine and went back to Retro Apartment to change his clothes," Archer said tactfully.

"He's been waiting for you for more than an hour tonight. You should have called to inform him." Maeve felt a

chill in her heart when hearing that Byron had been waiting for her for more than an hour.

On the way here, she even comforted herself that they had just arreled yesterday, so even if she did not come

tonight, Byron would not care about it. Archer's words hit her like a bolt of lightning

However,

Seeing that Maeve did not speak, Archer hesitated for a moment before saying, "You might not know that Ms.

Booth has been fired by Mr. Mcdaniel. Although Mr. Mcdaniel did not give a reason, | guess it should be because

of you." "Because of me?" Maeve was stunned.

"As far as | know, Ms. Booth and Mr. Mcdaniel have known each other for many years and have quite a close

relationship. Back then, when she accidentally lost the contract worth hundreds of millions, Mr. Mcdaniel never

blamed her," Archer said. "But after you left yesterday, Mr. Mcdaniel fired her."

In the past, this would have never happened.

With the trump card Patrick, Karen could be tolerated by Byron no matter what stupid mistakes she had made.

Only this twas different.
