Chapter 247 He’s Not There

Buck glanced at Maia after he finished and added playfully, “Do you want Mr. Cedric to be there? If you do, he’s just one phone call away. No wait, just a text is enough! I’m sure he’ll appear if you text him!”

Maia noticed that the lights were green, so she said, “You should go back to driving and shut up.”

Buck remained silent throughout the drive to the venue. They were already broadcasting the show live when Maia got there. She hurried to her seat and noticed that there was an empty seat beside her. He was not there.

Seconds later, The Quest main theme song played, and Aiken appeared on the stage. He gave the audience a charming smile when the spotlights shone on him.

Maia was distracted through half of the show until a staff member jolted her back to reality by informing her that Aiken had invited her on stage.

Maia quickly composed herself and gracefully strolled on stage.

“Let us welcome Starlight Entertainment’s CEO, Ms. Maia Burgess!” A round of applause erupted as she walked to the center of the stage.

Aiken’s smile widened the minute he saw her, “Ms. Maia, today is The Quest’s finale. It’s a pleasure to have you here with us. So, tell me, how are you feeling?”

“I feel happy and proud,” Maia replied.

“Why do you feel happy and proud?”

“I feel like a proud mother witnessing the growth of my girls. From the midst of summer till autumn, I’ve seen how all the trainees have changed and improved. I had the honor of watching them grow, seasoned by the different challenges presented to them.

“Now, seeing them come so close to fulfilling their dreams and ascending onto that throne. Nothing would make me feel happier and prouder.”
