The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 411

Maeve rejected his good intentions. "You still have to take care of Mr. Ricard, so I won't trouble you. Goodbye."

"That's a pity. I hope we meet again next time." Arthur sounded regretful. "I heard my father praise you before. He said you were a very talented and smart girl. I've always wanted to have a good chat with you." Maeve smiled faintly. "Thank you for the compliment. There will be a chance in the future."

But she probably wouldn't attend such a banquet again.

It didn't suit her.

After hanging up, Maeve walked out of the villa and immediately saw the black Spyker parked by the roadside.

The back window was half lowered, and the light inside was dim. The streetlights shone down, outlining a figure.

From a distance, Maeve could not see the man's expression clearly, but he could feel his solid gaze on her.

Like a beast lying dormant in the shadows, patiently waiting for its prey to approach.

Maeve's scalp went numb. Thinking of what the female bodyguard had just said, her heart calmed down a little.

She got into the car and deliberated for a while before typing out a script. She asked him, "Did you specially come to pick me up after the show?"

"It's on the way," Byron said coldly.

"Oh." Maeve blinked her bright eyes. Perhaps it was because she had not seen him for too long and did not know how to interact with him for a moment, she was actually a little nervous.

The first two times had not been pleasant. She had thought that he would draw a line between them.

What happened today surprised her.

"Yeah."

"When did I agree to be your fiancée?"
