Chapter 178
Why didn’t Maeve look at him with the same eyes as before?
Sergio became increasingly frantic the more he thought about it.

Meanwhile, Maeve, still working late at Mirage Group, suddenly sneezed.
“Achoo!”
“What’s wrong?”
Zion frowned.
At this moment, only he and Maeve were in the office.
Charlie and Lyra had gone out to relax themselves,
Maeve had to intern at the Tomkins Corporation during the day, so she could only spare time to manage various projects at Mirage Group at night..
“Maybe I caught a cold.”
Maeve took a sip of her hot drink.
She had been so exhausted lately, with no time to relax.
“I’m not feeling well, so I won’t be going to the family banquet tomorrow.”
Due to the turmoil caused by James, Maeve always used her accident injuries as an excuse to skip the monthly Scott family banquets, and she hadn’t attended for three months.
But she had to attend this time.
Maeve shook her head. “I should go. I don’t feel uncomfortable. Maybe it was just a shiver. Don’t worry.”
Zion raised an eyebrow. “So, you know I’m worried about you, huh?”
Maeve blushed at his words.
“I thought you didn’t know. Lyra told me you didn’t even drink a sip of the herbal tea I brought you.”
“I don’t like herbal tea…” Maeve murmured.
“The weather is much cooler lately, and herbal tea is good for your health.”
Zion took a packet of herbal tea from the office drawer and brewed it for Maeve.
“Let me.”
Maeve initially wanted to take the cup, but the hot temperature made her pull her hand back.
Zion smiled faintly. “Let me. I’ll come pick you up after the Scott family banquet tomorrow.”

“Okay.”
Maeve agreed without hesitation.
Zion didn’t expect Maeve to agree so easily. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll whisk you away?”
“Not really, I know my way back home.”
Maeve dared not look into Zion’s eyes. She remembered clearly that she had already rejected Zion’s advances, but he always seemed to ignore it whenever she did.
Ultimately, Zion showed no signs of pursuit, and their Interactions stayed normal. Sometimes, they even talked less than Maeve did with Charlie.
Gradually, she stopped caring about this topic.
But when Zion offered to pick her up, she knew he was up to something.
Zion didn’t say much, and she didn’t ask either.
The following day, Maeve arrived early at the family banquet.
Philip saw Maeve and immediately greeted her with a smile. “Maeve, you’re finally back. How’s your injury?
Maeve glanced at James sitting on the sofa nearby and smiled. “It’s already healed, Uncle Phil. Don’t
worry.
