Chapter 223
As Maeve hesitated, the door to the lounge suddenly opened. Larry walked in with a plate of cheesecake slices.
Maeve replied, “I’ve got something else to attend to now. I’ll get in touch with you tonight.”
“Alright, Ms. Scott.”
Marve ended the call.
Larry placed the plate of cheesecake in front of her. “Mr. Brooks has ordered this for you, Mrs. Brooks. He said that it’s your favorite.” Maeve glanced at the cheesecake. She used to enjoy it, sure, but how did Sergio know? He had never paid attention to her preferences before. “Thank you. I’ll rest here for a while. Just let me know when he’s done.”
“Yes, Mrs. Brooks.”
Larry left, and Maeve stared at the cheesecake, lost in thought. What was Sergio up
to?
She didn’t believe that he was powerless against the Mirage Group, and his behavior today was peculiar. Was there something else on his mind?
In the afternoon, Sergio came out of the conference room. Noticing the untouched cheesecake, he asked, “Are you not a fan of the cheesecake?
“I used to like cheesecake, but not anymore,” Maeve replied indifferently
Sergio’s expression dimmed. “It’s okay. From now on, I’ll remember what you like.”

Sergio handed her a file from Larry. “This is the share transfer contract. I’ve had the legal department review it. It just needs your signature
now.
Maeve picked up the document skeptically. It was indeed a valid share transfer contract with no hidden clauses.
She frowned and looked at Sergio. “Why are you giving me the shares for the Brooks Group?”
“Because it’s the only way I can earn your trust,” Sergio replied earnestly.
Larry quietly left the room.

“For the past few days, I’ve been thinking about different ways to prove myself to you. I’ve realized that this is said, his eyes reflecting his sincere feelings.
Maeve saw no pretense in his expression. If this was a performance, Sergio’s acting skill was unmatched. She avoided his gaze. “Fine. Since you’ve said that, I’ll accept the shares.”
She picked up the contract. “But I believe that there’s no such thing as a free lunch. I’ll take this home and review it. Is that alright?” “Of course,” Sergio agreed, his eyes filled with tender affection.
“Thank you.” Maeve stood up and continued, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go and review the contract and let you know my decision by today.” “I’ll have Larry send you back.”
“It’s fine. I’m not used to that,” Maeve replied. After all, Larry had been driving Clara around for all these years: She doubted that she could ever match Clara’s place in Sergio’s heart.
