"Mr. Mcdaniel, sorry to disturb your meal. I have something important to report to you." Archer walked over with a solemn expression. "It's about Kuskait's pharmaceutical company."

Byron nodded slightly and turned to Maeve. He said, "Eat first. Il go deal with it."

Maeve replied, "Okay."

Maeve watched as Byron and Archer walked to a quiet place to talk. She rested her chin on her hand and pondered, 'Is he always so busy every day?"

Just as Maeve was pondering this, Serena said, "Mr. Mcdaniel is so busy every day and has very little free time. He most likely doesn't have much time to accompany you. Does it bother you?"

Maeve gave the question some thought. When she first got married to Byron, he was so busy that she rarely saw him. As time went on, Byron gradually began to return home more frequently. Maeve couldn't recall when the shift started. Maeve was not someone who craved company. Besides, both of them had their jobs to keep them busy. They didn't have time to be clingy with each other every day.

"No," Maeve replied with a smile. "He's busy and so am I. It feels fine."

"Mr. Mcdaniel is so lucky to have such an understanding girlfriend like you. Previously, I thought that he would marry his first love. Oops! I'm sorry. I spoke without thinking. Please don't take it to heart." Serena pretended to look vexed at her slip of tongue. Maeve was not offended, but she was curious. She asked, "His first love? I don't think I've heard him mention her before."

"Well, Mr. Mcdaniel was also once a young man madly in love." Serena elegantly took a sip of coffee and said with a smile, "Mr. Mcdaniel met his first love when he was in university. The girl was a high school student. I even saw the sketch of her that Mr. Mcdaniel drew at his house. I suppose although school romances usually don't end well, they're always unforgettable."

Byron had drawn a sketch of the girl.

Maeve immediately thought of the sketch in Byron's study. The girl in it looked very similar to Lynn.

She thought, 'I see. So the girl in the sketch was Byron's first love

Maeve also had an ex-boyfriend, so she did not mind Byron having a first love other than her.

However, she was puzzled. Byron had clearly told her in the past that he had never been in a relationship.

Maeve wondered if Byron had lied to her.

Serena saw Maeve's expression turn slightly ugly. Her smile deepened. She feigned ignorance and said, "Did I say too much? Don't mind me. I just returned to the country and don't have many friends. I hit it off quite well with you while chatting with you and subconsciously said more than I should have."

Serena was Will's friend. Therefore, Maeve had a good impression of her and did not notice that she was actually sowing discord.
