Chapter 246 Stay by Her Side
Buck was shocked to see the bag M handed to him.
“| didn’tnow they had collected all the proof they could behind his back. | thought Victor had made sure not to leave any traces
behind! With this evidence, it would be much easier for us!”
“Make sure that The Horizon Awards proceed as nned. | want this evidence to be exposed in front of all those famous
personnel from the entertainment industry.”
“Don''t worry, leave them to me!” Buck promised.
Maia nodded and got in the car. As she was inside, she could not help but nce toward the other direction that led to the
parking lot. Was he still there?
Buck was parked next to her. By the time he started pulling out, Maia’s car was still parked. He drove over and gave her a honk.
He lowered his window and yelled at her, “Ms. Maia, are you alright?”
When Maia heard him, she collected herself and drove out of the parking lot. Whether Cedric was still there or not had nothing to
do with her.
By the time she was driving on the roads, she noticed that a car was trailing behind her. It followed her all the way to Cloud Nine
Residence. She knew the number te very well, but the man inside it did not show up in front of her.
When she got back home and went out to her balcony to pretend to retrieve herundry, she noticed that the car was gone. Maia
was confused about her own emotions as she brought herundry back into the room.
Little did she know that the man who was constantly on her mind was still downstairs. Cedric knew that she would only get angry
if she saw him here, so he decided to remain in the shadows. He wanted to be by her side, even if it meant staying hidden.
That night, Maia had a hard time falling asleep as she kept tossing and turning in bed. She. recalled how cold he looked standing
by thatmppost.
Momentster, Maia tapped her temples as she remained herself not to think about him anymore. With that in mind, she took a
deep breath and forced herself to sleep.
Cedric looked up at Maia’s dark room and lit a cigarette as he whispered to himself, “Sweet dreams, honey.”
He continued to stay by her side just to watch over her. He smiled sadly as he finished his cigarette. “I''ll watch over you just like
how you did to me.”
The next morning, M woke up to the sound of her phone ringing. She frowned as she threw the covers over her head.
However, her cell phone kept ringing.
Finally, M sat up and answered her call in a daze. The moment she ced the phone to her ears, Buck’s voice came through.
“Ms. Malia, are you still in bed? It’s The Quest''s final episode today, you have to go on the show soon! You need to start getting
ready!”
Maia was wide awake when she heard Buck mentioning The Quest. She just realized that it was the show’sst episode and the
day where they''d introduce their new girl group live!
“Don''t tell me you’re still in bed? | already told you about this yesterday! I’m already at your ce!”
“Alright! Give me three minutes!”
As soon as Maia ended the call, she got up, rushed to the bathroom to wash up and get dressed. Maia almost messed up such
an important day due to herck of sleep from the other night! After today’s show, Starlight Entertainment would sign a two-year
contract with the girl group form The Quest. Maia, as the CEO of thepany, needed to be at the show.
While she was doing her hair, her thoughts drifted to Cedric. As the owner of Sunny Videos, he would also be there, right?
Maia’s movements slowed as she was caught in her thoughts. “He’s always busy. Maybe he won''t have time to attend the event?
Would he just pre-record a video to congratte the winners?”
Maia stopped herself from over-thinking as she hurried to finish doing her hair and rushed to the elevators.
When Buck finally saw her exiting the building, he heaved a sigh of relief. “Ms. Maia, get in the car!”Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.
Buck quickly started the engine and drove out of the parking lot. “The itinerary for today’s show is next to you. You should take a
look!”
Maia nodded as she took out the file and started to look through it.
“| know you''re not a morning person, but you’re usually punctual. You''ve never been thiste. What happened? Was it because
you were looking through the evidence that we have?”
“Nope, | just couldn’t seem to fall asleep.”
“Difficulty sleeping? You should really take note of your lifestyle. Insomnia is one of the first signs of aging!” Buckmented
worriedly.
