“Mr. Cedric, Ms. Maia left the Cloud Nine Residences shortly after you arrived at the Central Tower,” Baz replied. “Where’d she go?” “She went to Mr. Linden’s residence for about an hour.” Baz explained in a single breath as he slowly moved away from his boss, "She was also with a well-built male who looks to be about 2 meters tall.” He could already feel Cedric’s aura darken. “I’d love to see who dares steal my woman!” Zera was inside the ward when she overheard Cedric’s comment. Her expression turned sour as she gripped the hem of her blouse. Her eyes were filled with hatred.“Maia, you slut! Why didn’t the fire kill you? How dare you come back and try to steal Cedric away from me? Just you wait!” Zera’s lips trembled in anger. …Maia created a stir when she showed up at Starlight Entertainment. Most of the staff members could not stop talking about her. “Ms. Maia looks better in person. She just smiled at me, and she looks so pretty.”“She is not only pretty but ver

As someone started to clap, thundering applause gradually sounded throughout the room. The meeting continued for another two hours before adjourning. Maia called out to Robert before he was about to exit the room. “Uncle Flint.”Robert turned to Maia, puzzled. “How can I help you, Maia?”“Uncle Flint, the person you were referring to is Jordan Cantrell, right?”“Of course. He was one of the best in the business. Countless companies tried to hire him. It was such a shame he was fired!" Robert sighed. “Do you know what happened to him?” Maia asked. "Your mother's passing had a significant impact on him. After your uncle became the new chairman, Jordan was fired,” Robert lamented. “It was a known fact that the reason he stayed with us was because of your mother, after all! It was such a shame.”“My mother,” Maia murmured. “Are you planning to get him back at Starlight Entertainment?” Maia nodded without hesitation. “It won’t be an easy task. After being fired, numerous c

Buck’s thrilled voice said, “Ms. Maia, I found Jordan Cantrell!” This was good news, especially for Starlight Entertainment.“Where is he?”“He’s living in Eldertown now, working as a math teacher at a high school.” “Get me the fastest ticket to Eldertown tonight!” Maia needed to leave this instant! “Yes, of course.” “Maia, are you going somewhere? I heard you asking someone to book tickets for you?” Tess asked as she placed a dish on the dining table. “Aunt Tess, I’m sorry but I need to leave for Eldertown tonight.” Maia told Tess truthfully. “Eldertown? That’s quite a distance from here. Why do you need to go there?” “Jordan Cantrell lives there. He used to be the chief financial officer of Starlight Entertainment.” Maia clarified. “Are you looking for him to get him to come back?” Errol interjected. “Yes, I think he is most suitable for this position." Maia nodded. The position of chief financial officer was one of the most important in the company. Maia need

As her back hit the floor, her legs collided against the edge of the bed. One of her arms had a huge cut from the shattered glass and was bleeding badly. The pain from her throbbing arm kept her conscious. She bit her lips hard as she tried to stand, grabbing hold of a table for support. Another loud thud echoed through the building. At that moment, the alarms in the hotel rang, and she could hear a staff member speaking urgently through the PA system. “All guests please evacuate the building through the emergency stairway on the sixth floor. Leave all valuables behind! This is an emergency!”Seconds later, the announcement ceased as the hotel was again thrown into darkness. The backup power was gone.Maia endured the throbbing pain as she stood up slowly. She dragged herself towards the door and hurled it open with all her strength.Moments later, the door slammed shut behind her with a bang as the strong wind continued to blow. The corridor she was in was covered in shattere

Maia was taken aback by his question and stared at him with a puzzled look.Cedric just smirked and said, “If you’re dead, how could you take revenge on me?”Maia frowned at this as she realized now was not the right time to start arguing. She bit her lips and threw one of her arms around him.As Cedric felt her arm tighten around his waist, he started to swim towards the rescue boat. Every time he exerted force, he could feel a ripping pain coming from his back. The only thing that helped Cedric with the pain was the thought that he had to make sure that Maia would get to the boat safely.When they got onto the rescue boat, Cedric immediately checked on the wound on Maia’s arm. Maia had been in the water for a long time, and her arms were already starting to turn purple from the lack of blood circulation.“Hand me the first aid kit.” He took a look at her infected wound and frowned.One of the rescue team members quickly handed Cedric the first aid kit. He took it and started
