Chapter 200
In so many years, the Mirage Group was the
the first company
confront the Brooks Group directly.
“Mr. Brooks, what should we do? Our company’s stocks have been falling recently, and Mirage Group has snatched up many projects, causing our sales across all companies to drop. If this continues, we will face significant losses
“Mirage Group is clearly targeting our market share. Perhaps we should consider taking some extraordinary measures,” suggested one. director after another.
Currently unable to take direct action against Mirage Group, they could only resort to underhanded tactics behind the scenes. In the past, Sergio might have agreed without hesitation. But now, he fell into silence.
That night, he was drunk and acted on a hunch by going to Mirage Group, where he indeed saw Maeve. He wondered if Marve really had ties with the Mirage Group or perhaps with Zachary
Sergio rubbed his temples as he felt weary. “I have other matters to attend to. Let’s discuss this later.”
With that, he stood up and left.
Larry suggested, “Mr. Brooks, perhaps you should take some hangover medicine first.”
Sergio had drunk quite a bit the previous night, and he wasn’t in the right state of mind.
“Have you found anything about Zachary?” Sergio asked.
“Not yet. His information is very well–hidden. I’ve used all our contacts but still haven’t uncovered anything about his personal life.”
“And what about Clara?”
“Ms. S
Stewart went to Tomkins Corporation on her own. Rob Tomkins, the general manager, personally received her, and now she is Ms. Scott’s supervisor.”
Larry didn’t elaborate, but Sergio understood. When he used to take Clara to various high–profile events, all the corporate bosses knew her. It seemed that Rob considered Clara to be one of the Brooks
Larry asked, “Mr. Brooks, should we ask Mr. Tomkins to fire Ms. Stewart?”
“No need,” Sergio o stated
flatly. “From now on, I
I will not interfere in Clara’s matters.”
“Understood.”
“Get the car ready, I need to see Maeve.”
“To the Tomkins Corporation?” Larry was taken aback as he knew that would mean running into Clara.
“There are some things I need to ask her in person.”
At Tomkins Corporation, Maeve was enjoying a milkshake brought by Bryce at the photoshoot. Although Bryce had officially appointed her his. assistant, she didn’t have to do anything, so she just hung around.
Bryce smiled at her during the shoot, and Maeve made a gesture that made his smile grow even wider.
At that moment, Syndy was standing at the door. She saw this and frowned. “Maeve, come out for a moment, Someone is looking for you.”
Maeve stood up and adjusted her appearance. Curious about the person visiting her workplace during the day, she saw the group of female employees in the work area standing up to look at the person entering from outside.
Rob was patiently talking with Sergio as they walked in together.
“Mr. Brooks, the market response to our joint projects has been constructive recently. It’s an honor for you to come and inspect our work.”
Sergio was distracted until he saw Maeve. Then, he softened his gaze.
Syndy added, “Mr. Tomkins, Mr. Brooks, here she is. This is Maeve.”
Maeve frowned. She was surprised that Sergio had found her at her workplace. “Get me a quiet conference room. I have something to discuss with Maeve alone.”
