"Cedric, that has nothing to do with me. You don't need to become anything for my sake. I cannot bear nor do I want to bear such a burden."

Maia smiled slightly at Cedric and spoke in a very formulaic manner, "I just want to ask if you are interested in Mykonos Studio. After all, you mentioned earlier that the CEO, Victor, has some issues with the HL Corporation. I had investigated Victor, and he owns 60% of the shares of Mykonos Studio. After I take over, I will give you 40% of the shares as a thank you for saving me today."

She didn't like owing favors, especially not to him.

"Okay."

"In that case, please wait for good news, Mr. Cedric." After saying this, Maia looked at the driver in the driver's seat and said, "Please drop me off at the next intersection."

The driver quickly glanced at Cedric through the rearview mirror, seeking his opinion. Without Cedric’s approval, the driver didn't dare to agree.

Maia also understood this point and looked at Cedric. "How about it? Are yo

    "Sis, wait for me, let me focus on driving first!""Alright, drive safely.""Don't worry!"After hanging up the phone, Maia threw her phone onto the sofa and lazily lay down. When Hope arrived, she got up to open the door. As soon as Hope saw Maia, she immediately exclaimed, "Sis, I heard from Buck that you've regained your memory. Do you remember me now?"Maia nodded, suppressing a smile, and asked, "Buck tells you everything. Is he my personal assistant or yours?""He's definitely your personal assistant!" Hope quickly placed the things she was holding on the coffee table."Well, that makes sense. Buck can't be your personal assistant. He should at least be the underground little boyfriend, right?"Hope froze, blushing, and said, "Sis, what are you talking about? How can you tease me like this?""Did you forget you teased me just now?" Maia retorted, looking at Hope.Hope quickly burst into laughter. "Hehe, Sis, you're a mature lady, please forget what I did!""Now tell m

  • Will You Marry Me, Again?   Chapter 226 The Moment Was Gone

    It was a typical example of human nature. The second you want something from someone, his instinct would be to deprive you of it. However, when you decide that you no longer want it, he would give you a truckload of it, and fill your world with it if he could.Unfortunately, by then, you no longer want anything from him. It does not matter how hard he tries. Once the moment has gone, he would never get it back. Even the moon would not be enough to win you over. “I came back so I could take revenge on the people who wronged me. Rita will never get away from me. She pushed me down the stairs and caused my miscarriage. She’ll pay for that. “What do you think Cedric’s going to think about that? Humans are sentimental at heart. Rita is still his mother when all is said and done. “He’s not going to stand idly by as I put her behind bars. That’s why we can never be together again…”Maia’s grip on the can tightened as she talked about Rita. It was all bent out of shape. She hated Rita

    Hope nodded, “When we’re on set, the cast and the film crew would usually gossip about industry affairs. There were a lot of unfavorable rumors about Victor. The celebrities in his company aren’t exactly open about it, but the rumors always find a way out to us.”Hope cast her mind back to the rumors she had heard and said, “Victor mismanaged the A-list Actors’ resources. For instance, if one of them has to endorse a certain popular brand, he’d force his client to feature another actor or actress who isn’t as famous to pit them against each other. “It wasn’t a fair fight most of the time. When we pushed for details, all we had to go on were the expressions on people’s faces. They were very secretive. Maybe there’s a unwritten code of silence…”Maia blinked while listening to Hope. “Furthermore, one of my celebrity friends told me about her experience in Mykonos Studio when she was a trainee. Victor used to take advantage of her. “He even asked his secretary to tell her that he

Not only did she need to work hard, she also had to keep herself free of any scandals if she wanted to ride the wave of her success for a few more years.If news ever got out that she was in a relationship, then it would been a big hit for her career. He was her most loyal fan. He had seen every social media update she had ever written. He knew how much courage it took for her to step foot into the entertainment industry. He knew about the lonely moments she had to endure during her time as a student overseas. He knew how much she loved her career.

    “Get in touch with the public relations department. Have them nip the rumors in their buds as soon as CelebClicks releases the news about you and Hope. You work with us. It makes perfect sense for you to send her home. It’s not a big deal.”Buck said stiffly, “The news is already out there, Ms. Maia…”Maia checked her phone swiftly. Notifications about the news flooded her phone. It made it onto the trending lists as well! Hope had zero scandals attached to her since her debut. She never even got too close to any male celebrity. All of her partnerships were purely professional!It was just as the guy from CelebClicks said, the news about Hope and the mysterious six-foot-two man had caused quite a stir!“I’ll contact the public relations department now and tell them to get on it at once.”“Okay.” Maia hung up the phone after that. Her company released a statement five minutes later, clarifying that the man in question was a staff of Starlight Entertainment. It stated that he was

    Influenced by the staff in the center court, the staff in the offices started applauding as well. Maia boosted staff morale so early in the morning. Everyone was pumped after her speech.Instead of taking her personal elevator, she got into the one that everyone used. She stepped out of the elevator when it stopped at her office floor. Buck, Paige, and the other administrative assistants applauded her. “Welcome back, Ms. Maia.” Paige said. Maia nodded and said, “Look at the smiles on your faces. It seems I’m not such a bad boss, after all.” Everyone laughed at that. “No one would ever think of a pretty lady as a bad boss!” One of them said and made everyone laugh again. Paige nodded in approval, “That’s right. A pretty lady could never do anything wrong!”All of them laughed and went back to work. Buck quickly handed Maia the documents he had prepared the night before. “This is the list of people Ms. Tess had promoted in your absence.”She took the documents and scanned the li

    “Yes, I agree that her fan base is important, but ultimately as an actress her acting abilities and work are what’s most important. Hope can’t stay single forever, and she has never promised that she wouldn’t date or get married. “She’s only human. If her fans decided to leave just because she’s dating someone, then those aren’t her true fans. Besides, there are other superstars in the industry who are dating as well. So, why worry?” Buck nodded. “Ms. Maia, there's still another problem.”“You’re worried about your family?” Maia asked directly.Buck was taken aback by her candor before nodding slowly. “I’m grateful to you for providing me with a job. I love this job and I’ve worked hard to be able to afford a small apartment on my own. However, how could I ask Hope to live in such a small space with me? There’s nothing that I could give her.“Moreover, my foster parents have never stopped trying to extort money from me. If they find out that my girlfriend is a well-known actre

    Maia frowned at what Nigel had told her. She did not expect him to give her such shocking news, and she was too stunned to reach out for the envelope.Nigel gently placed it next to her and continued, “You should look into it. I’m not trying to put the blame on Cedric, but I’ve spoken to one of the three artists. He looked really scared when I asked him who was behind this. “He was afraid that this would endanger his family as well. As you very well know, if Cedric wanted to do something, there was no way that he would fail.”“What was his motive?” Maia asked as she studied the contents inside the envelope Nigel had given her. When she saw a photo of a man, her frown deepened. “Isn’t this Baz?”“Maia, you know that Cedric would do something like this because of you. He wants you to take him back. What better way than to act like your white knight, protecting you from being bullied on the internet? He wants you to rely on him, and you did. You don’t hate him as much as you did be

    Amanda came to sit next to Maia as she said, “I’m glad you’ve noticed this as well. Lauren is usually quite into the drama that she’s watching on TV. Today’s episode was a sad one, so I was wondering why she was still so happy watching it.” Lauren smiled back at them and replied, “I’m just really happy. I’ve never thought that I’d be able to see my eldest son again and that he has such a kind and beautiful wife by his side. “Eddie was also able to find his loved one, and I was lucky enough to be a grandmother. I never thought that I’d be able to go on a family trip with all my sons.” She started to tear up.“Lauren, don’t cry,” Maia said as she handed Lauren a handkerchief to dry her tears. Lauren wiped her tears as she smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry about me. I’m just being dramatic.” She looked around and asked, “Where’s Cedric? Is he with Eddie?”Maia nodded. “Yeah. This new project is a bit of a hassle, so he went over to try to help.” Lauren sighed, “Eddie’s father an

    Cedric just smiled when he saw Maia’s worried reaction. “You sure you’ll keep your promise?” Maia tugged the blanket closer to herself and nodded. Maia would not dare to say no. If Cedric decided to do as he had said, she would just end up in bed the whole morning. “We can register our marriage anytime. You mean it?” She knew that Cedric was just baiting her, but she had no choice. She did not know what he would do next. When she glanced at his handsome face, her heart could not help but skip a beat. Just then, Cedric took out two pieces of paper from the bedside drawer. Maia was taken aback as she saw the document. They were marriage registration forms, and they were already filled in. “T-This was a setup! You’ve already had this all planned out from the beginning!” Maia scanned through the forms and was surprised to see that the only section left empty was the signature. Maia did not know when Cedric had started to prepare all this, but it looked like it had been a whil

    Cedric glanced at Baz and asked, “How does it feel to miss someone so much?”Baz’s smile froze as he shook his head quickly. “Now, I can finally understand why you hate being separated from Ms. Maia.”Cedric just looked at Baz coldly. Baz quickly added when he noticed Cedric’s glare, “I’m just saying that you love your wife very much, and that man who’s like you would definitely understand.”“That’s a fact,” Cedric replied as he turned around and walked back into the bedroom. Baz immediately stopped him as he asked. “Mr. Cedric, why don’t you tell Ms. Maia the real reason why you’re so against calling Ms. Lauren your mother? Why didn’t you tell her the scars on your back were inflicted by Ms. Rita?” It was a horrible and unimaginable part of his childhood. “I don’t want to frighten her.”“But it’s difficult for you as well, Mr. Cedric. Calling Ms. Lauren your mother brings back horrible memories for you too.” “It doesn’t matter. I’ll do anything for her.” Cedric replied as he

    “Is that true?” Gigi asked her grandmother.Lauren nodded and said, “Of course it is. Has grandma ever lied to you?”“Wow! Grandma, what was Daddy like when he was a kid?” Gigi was excited. She was not sleepy anymore as she pestered Lauren to tell her more. “Whenever I brought him to attend events, he would always cry. I still remember he had wet his pants once in kindergarten.” Gigi covered her mouth and giggled happily. Amanda laughed and looked at Eddie. “Did you really wet your pants?”Eddie palmed his forehead and told his mother, “Stop embarrassing me in front of my daughter, Mom.” Lauren just smiled happily back at her son. At the same time, Maia tugged on the hem of Cedric’s shirt and questioned cheekily, “Did you wet your pants when you were a kid?” Cedric drew her into his arms in response and threatened, “Maia, it seems like you won’t be able to go to bed tonight.” “I’m not afraid of your empty threats,” Maia replied. “Are you sure about that?”Maia nod

    It was hard to believe he’d change his mind out of nowhere. She blinked and gawked at him. She almost forgot to breathe because of the sheer shock. Her face turned red from it, too. “Hey, breathe.” Cedric frowned. He realized her eyes were widening and her cheeks were completely reddened. Then, her lungs worked, and she started drawing breath again. She gripped the hem of his shirt instinctively. “Hmm?” Cocking his brow, he looked at her casually while taking her hands in his. “Do you want to know why I changed my mind?”She nodded immediately. Needless to say, she wanted to spring that question on him, but she wondered if she should. On the other hand, he merely chuckled and didn’t say anything. All he did was fix a deep, passionate stare at her. His eyes were filled with love and affection when he did it. Realizing that he wasn’t going to talk, she was bewildered. “W-Why aren’t you saying anything?”His grin widened at what she said. Reaching out, he pinched her fair ch

    Taking his hands, she rested her fair cheeks on his palm.“Is there another reason you did it?” She asked. “I had someone plant something in the painting.”“What do you mean?” She pressed.“A wire.”Then, it hit her. “D-Does this mean you knew Fidelia would buy the painting at all costs?”“Mm-hmm.” He nodded.Pursing her lips, she said, “I guess it tracks. After all, Fidelia will surely buy anything you donate to Nordic College. She loves you so much that she peeled an entire bowl of prawns for you.”“Do peeling prawns mean she loves me?” He cocked his brow.She nodded instinctively.“Well, then. Do you know how much I love you now?”Maia was initially pondering something, but she was scattered the moment she heard what he said!Her face turned red. She couldn’t decide if she should nod or shake her head now. The only thing she could do now was change the topic. “Wait a minute. I just asked Gigi to bid on it. Did I almost mess up your plan?” Her brows were furrowed. She

    “Maia!” Amanda called out to her and hastened over. “D-Did you just say I was already on trending search?”“Mm-hmm.” Nodding, she handed her phone to Amanda. Amanda saw the search topic ‘Amanda Tate Burst Out Laughing.’ and was rooted to the spot.“H-How’s this already up there?”Maia chuckled. “There are so many people in the dining hall. There’s no way you can keep it from spreading on the internet for long. Even Gigi and Eddie got on the trending search. They were right behind you. “Valentines Group has also started working on the public relations angle. I browsed the internet and didn’t find any overly vicious remarks either. None of the marketing accounts were trying to stir up trouble either. All of Gigi’s pictures were censored as well. So, there’s nothing to be worried about here.”Amanda let out a sigh of relief at what she said. “It’s a good thing that no one attacked Gigi on the internet. Otherwise, I’m going to start chasing them with a machete that’s one foot long!

    “Why, you!” Fidelia took the glass of fruit juice from the table and spilled it all over him!The sticky juices clung to his cheeks for a second before rolling down them.“Listen up, plastic face! It doesn’t matter if I can’t lay a finger on Maia because Cedric loves and protects her. It isn’t your place to make fun of me! Who do you think you are, Neilson? “You’re nothing more than my family’s lap dog. Look at how stiff your face is. You’ve wasted a perfectly good glass of fruit juice!”Staring at him angrily, Fidelia warned him nastily. She was so gripped with rage that her chest was rising and falling hastily. Then, she gritted her teeth and threw the empty glass at him.Catching the glass midair, he lowered his head. “You make a fine point, Ms. Fidelia.” Wiping the fruit juice from his cheeks, he apologized again. “Please calm down, Ms. Fidelia. You have to look at where we are now. It’d be wise not to make Mr. Thomas mad again.”“Are you seriously warning me again? Who do

    Maia made up a reason so Amanda could take Gigi away. Amanda nodded, carried her daughter, and left the scene. All Gigi did was speak the truth, but Fidelia’s face grew grim and shot the three-year-old girl a terrible look. It was clear that Fidelia might do something outrageous to Gigi again if she didn’t divert her attention from the little girl. After all, Fidelia didn’t care about the consequences of her actions at all!So, she looked at Fidelia and said, “I’m not sure why you kept trying to win my husband’s heart, but I’ve been sitting here the whole time. Are you ignoring me on purpose? Or, are you so arrogant that you care only about Cedric and nobody else?”Fidelia immediately shifted her gaze to Maia. Glaring at her, she directed all of her anger and frustration at Maia. “What are you trying to say, Maia? My dad saved Cedric’s life. So, is there anything wrong with me peeling the shrimp for him?
