Dan looked up in surprise.


    "Ms. Scott, you''re the CEO. It''s unheard of for the CEO to meet an employee personally? Aren''t you doing too much for Bryce?"


    Normally, Bryce would immediatelyply once they mentioned the penalty. However, Dan didn''t know what got into him this time that he would refuse the CEO, He was so stubbom.


    Maeve picked up her bag and left the office. She found Bryce''s address on his personal file and went to his house.


    It seemed Bryce came from a tough background. Her expensive car caught a lot of attention in the smallmunity.


    Dan tried to tter Maeve and opened, saying, "Ms. Scott, let me take you there."


    "No need. I''ll go up by myself."

    Maeve approached the third floor and knocked on the rusty iron doors. Soon, the door opened.


    A man in casual clothing opened the door. He was tall and slim, with fair skin and deep-set eyes. He was almost two heads taller than Maeve, with an icy and handsome appearance that clearly outshone Lucas by a mile.

    She leaned forward and looked at Maeve, saying, "Maeve, are you Bryce''s girlfriend? Come in,e in!"

    Before Bryce could finish his sentence, Helen interrupted, "Bryce, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and make Maeve some teal" Maeve was reluctantly pulled to the sofa by Helen. Seeing Helen''s joyful expression, Bryce could only make tea first.


    Maeve''s gaze remained locked on Bryce. She remembered in her past life, after Bryce became famous, Helen passed away. Bryce cried out his eyes on a show. Before he became famous, he and his grandmother lived a poor life. After he became famous, his beloved grandmother passed


    away.


    All that happened because Scott Media wasted his talents.


    Bryce made a cup of tea and ced it before Maeve, but he didn''t look too pleased by her arrival.


    "Maeve, have you eaten? I will make you some food. Wait a moment, I''m making dumplings today!" Helen happily went to the kitchen.


    Bryce looked coldly at Maeve and asked, "What do you want?”
