Never See You Again

"Bryce?"

Dan pondered carefully. He could not remember such a person

"Ms. Scott, our most popular celebrity now is Lucas. Shall I ask him to see you?"

't seem amused at all.

Maeve looked at Dan and smiled. However, she didn't

"Have Bryce come meet me in half mu

hour."

With that, Maeve went straight upstairs.

Dan looked to the other staff with a hint and then followed Maeve upstairs.

Downstairs, several employees exchanged glances. Bryce was just a kid who recently graduated.

But since Maeve asked for him, they had no choice but to contact him.

Maeve glanced at the office decor while Dan still tried to impress her.

"Ms. Scott, this is the executive office. I had it specially redecorated yesterday. Are you satisfied with it?"

"It's not bad

Maeve sat down in the office chair

g to meet him?"

Dan smiled and suggested again, "Ms. Scott, Lucas is the pillar of our company. Are you really not going to Maeve smiled, making Dan inexplicably uneasy.

She knew well that Lucas was nothing but a mediocre celebrity who had risen to moderate fame. He could barely act, lacked capability, and only had a decent face, But such a celebrity had become a big shot at Scott Media

Maeve remembered how Lucas had found a wealthy female sponsor who had boosted him to fame at Scott Media, but then he lost popularity quickly as he slept with fans behind the scenes, mistreated employers, and signed shady contracts. In less than two years, he had been blacklisted from the entertainment scene

Maeve looked at Dan and stated with interest, "It seems you have high hopes for Lucas."

"Lucas brings in a lot of revenue for the company every year, so naturally, I have high hopes for him.”

"FortProperty of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

the whole of last year, this company gave Lucas everything he needed, yet his performance was, at best mediocre, and he didn't bring much benefit or fame to the company. How much did he pay you to speak so highly of him before me?"

Dan was caught off guard by Maeve's sharp words. He swallowed hard, and cold sweat ran down his back.

"Ms. Scott, you misunderstand, I...

"We can clarify that soon by checking the accounts.

Upon hearing this, Dan's nerves tightened even more.

They had spent considerable money promoting Lucas, but he still couldn't make big. The profits he made for the company were nothing compared to the resources invested in him.

Seeing Dan's reluctance to speak, Marve leaned back in her chair. So, it seemed that Scott Media was indeed corrupted.

An employee walked in timidly outside the door and said, "Ms. Scott, we've contacted Bryce, but he.."

"What's wrong with him?"

"He.. he doesn't want to come,"

"He doesn't want to?"

This was unexpected for Marve

The employee nervously said, "Bryce said he won't come unless Scott Media terminates his contract."

Maeve chuckled at this statement.

"Doesn't he know that's a breach of contract?"

The employee lowered his head and remained silent

They had no idea what Bryce was thinking.

He refused to come even when the CEO personally requested a meeting.

Maeve stood up and said, "If he won't come to see me, I'll go see him."
