The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 307

Maeve became silent.

She quickly steadied herself by holding onto his arm. Looking at his expressionless face, she couldn't help but say, "I don't know if the people on stage were jealous, but I know you are." Byron let out a low hum, glanced at the bouquet in her arms, and lifted a hand, saying, "It seems you don't need this."

Maeve turned her head and saw the light purple roses in his hand, her eyes instantly lighting up.

She asked, "Is this for me?"

"It's for someone who isn't already holding flowers," Byron said calmly.

Maeve looked at the flowers in her hands and quickly shoved them into his arms. "Now I'm not."

A faint hint of a smile flashed in Byron's eyes as he handed the bouquet to her.

Maeve held it lovingly until she suddenly heard someone calling her.

"Ms. Reese." Warren approached from behind, smiling warmly as he congratulated her. "Congratulations, the exhibit was flawless. Your design was truly eye-catching." Maeve gave a modest smile. "Thank you for the compliment."

Warren then looked toward Byron standing beside her, curiously asking, "Is this your boyfriend? You two look well-matched."

Byron lowered his eyes slightly, waiting to hear how Maeve would respond.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Maeve shook her head, denying it. "No, he's my... neighbor."

In an instant, Byron's handsome face darkened.

Warren smiled and had his assistant hand over his business card, saying to her, "We'll probably meet again in the future. I won't disturb you two any longer." 'Meet again?' Maeve felt a bit puzzled but still smiled and bid him farewell.

As they left the venue, Byron strode towards the elevator with long, quick steps, forcing Maeve to jog just to keep up with

him.

Inside the elevator, she looked at his cold, expressionless face and tugged at the hem of his suit jacket, feeling a bit guilty. She asked, "Byron, are you mad?"
