Never See You Again

"Madam, are you going out?"

"Yes, Sergio said that he's taking me to Royal Bistro for dinner,

so I came back to

back to freshen up."

Hearing the name Royal Bistro, Cecilia was delighted.

Maeve noticed her reaction and smiled slightly. "Well, you can go ahead and finish your tasks. I'll be heading upstairs."

"Alright..."

As Maeve went upstairs, Cecilia quickly removed her apron and hurried to a room on the first floor.

Maeve observed this from the second floor and smiled.

She hadn't expected Cecilia to be so eager.

That was good, though. It saved her from having to think of another way to ensure that Cecilia would show up.

Maeve returned to her room and selected a gown for the dinner.

She was naturally beautiful and didn't need much adomment, But tonight, she wanted to look particularly elegant. It was time to make a statement as Mrs. Brooks.

An hour later, Maeve came downstairs and noticed that Cecilia was nowhere to be seen.

Hailey was sitting on the couch. She looked at Maeve's attire with some disapproval.

"It's late. Who are you going out with, dressed like that?"

"Mrs. Brooks Senior, Sergio and I have a business meeting with some clients. I'm running late, so I'll be leaving now."This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Maeve no longer had the patience to play along with Hailey. Seeing Maeve turn to leave, Hailey's expression turned grim. "Maeve, what's with your attitude?" she snapped. "Have you forgotten how you'd begged me so that you could marry Sergio?" Maeve paused.

It seemed that Halley was getting old. She only had this one trick up her sleeve when it came to being harsh.

Maeve turned around and smiled at Hailey, "Mrs. Brooks Senior, how could I forget? But lately, the Brooks Group hasn't been doing well. Sergio has to attend a lot of business meetings, so I'm also busy helping him. Everything I do is for Sergio."

"Stop trying to charm me with your fancy words." Hailey retorted. "If you truly

Zachary?

Upon hearing her words, Maeve frowned.

cared for Sergio, why did you sell that piece of land to that guy,

Sergio didn't inform Hailey about that. Who could have leaked that information to her?

She quickly realized the answer. How could she forget that there was someone else in this house who wanted to be Mrs. Brooks?

"Mrs. Brooks Senior, I'm really pressed for time. Can we discuss this when I get back?" Maeve said, tuming to leave.

Hailey didn't expect Maeve to completely disregard her, and her expression turned grim.

After Maeve left, Cecilia emerged from her room.

She was wearing a simple dress. Although her attire wasn't extravagant, she looked innocent and charming

"Mrs. Brooks Senior..." Cecilia said.

Hailey glanced at her and frowned. "Are you going out too?"

"Yes, I thought I'd go for a walk. Cecilia's face turned red as she spoke.

"Dressed like that?" Hailey wasn't a fool and quickly grasped Cecilia's intentions.

As the smile faded from Hailey's face, Cecilia bit her lip and said, "Mrs. Brooks Senior, L..."

"I know you like Sergio, but you need to understand that being Mrs. Brooks requires more than just being obedient and understanding. You need to remember your status," Halley's tone was filled with a clear warning.
