Never See You Again

Chapter 555

“Do you think Conner will really take the bait?” Zayla asked.

“He will,” Marve replied with a calm certainty.

“When someone feels disrespected and loses their composure, they become obsessed with winning. Conner will throw money and energy into it without thinking about the consequences.”

Zayla nodded, finding Maeve’s reasoning sound.

“By the way, Ms. Scott, there’s another matter,” she added.

“What is it?” Maeve asked, picking up her cup to take a sip of coffee.

“Mr. Hackett’s secretary contacted us this morning about your debut…”

Her statement startled Maeve so much so that she spit out her coffee.

Zayla looked confused. “Ms. Scott?”

“I’m fine. Go on,” she urged. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Mr. Hackett mentioned that you had a contract with him and suggested you should spare some time to meet at Hackett Group. Instead of joining a group, you could debut as a solo artist. The revenue split would be 70-30, with Hackett Group taking the larger share,” Zayla explained.

“Seriously? They’re still talking about the revenue?”

Zayla, looking a bit troubled, replied, “That’s what his secretary said this morning.”

Maeve muttered under her breath, “Bloodsuckers…”

“Pardon?”

“Nothing.” Marve quickly replied, not daring to badmouth Levi.

She had thought the idea of her debuting was long forgotten, but apparently, Levi still had it in mind.

Zayla commented, “Actually, Ms. Scott, debuting could be a good thing. Your popularity is still strong, and it could add another star to Mirage Group.” “Have you

ever seen a CEO take the stage as a star?” Maeve retorted.

Zayla shook her head in agreement.

“Exactly.” Maeve murmured, “Find a way to excuse me. Tell them I’m too busy with company matters and dealing with Conner to focus on this.”

“What was that, Ms. Scott?” Zayla asked, looking puzzled, having not caught Maeve’s words.

Maeve covered her face, feeling conflicted about refusing Levi outright.

Reluctantly, she said, “Never mind. I mean, I have time recently. I’ll follow whatever schedule he arranges.”

Seeing her unexpected willingness, Zayla couldn’t help but ask, “Ms, Scott, you don’t seem too keen on this, do you?”

“What choice do I have? They have the contract,” she sighed.

“Mr. Hackett treats you very well. Even with a contract, if you really didn’t want to do it, he wouldn’t make things difficult for you,” Zayla reassured her. “I know,” Maeve responded.

“Then why-”

“That’s exactly

ctly why I feel I can’t let him down. Since I’ve agreed, I have to follow through”
