Never See You Again

Levi kept a gentle smile as he responded to Maeve’s puzzlement.

“The doctor suggested I get some fresh air, but from your expression, it seems you’re not too thrilled to see me here.”

Maeve quickly corrected herself. “How could that be? Mr. Hackett, it’s an honor for you to come personally,”

Levi’s smile broadened, sensing her awkward flattery. “Please, get in.”

“Alright…” Marve agreed reluctantly and took a seat beside him.

She always felt a prickling unease around Levi, perhaps because their first meeting had been so bloody and intense.

“Ms. Bellingham must have already mentioned your debut, Levi said, steering the conversation

“Yes… She did,” Maeve answered.

“I was concerned they might not explain everything clearly and didn’t want to trouble you with a visit, so I decided to drop by myself,” Levi explained. Glancing at the contract on his lap, Maeve forced a smile. The presence of the signed contract made it clear he wasn’t just dropping by casually. He was here to push things forward.

Despite understanding his intentions, Marve felt she had to feign ignorance and act clueless.

“It’s considerate of you to come, Mr. Hackett,” she said. “Even if you hadn’t, I would have visited to discuss the debut.”

Levi responded, his tone calm, “I thought so too, but not today, I assume.”

Maeve was caught off guard. She felt like a child in front of his cunning, and her thoughts seemed transparent to him.

“Mr. Hackett, when do you plan for my debut? And in what role?” she asked.

“An actress, I think. It suits you well,” Levi replied.

“Why?”

“I’ve seen your acting skills firsthand. They’re quite impressive.” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Maeve remained silent and maintained a tight smile, aware of the subtle jabs in Levi’s comments. It was clear he was being deliberate.

As she pondered this, Levi pulled out another document from beneath the contract.

Maeve took it, puzzled. “What’s this?”

“It’s the company’s offer for your first movie role,” Levi explained.

She frowned. “A movie role, right off the bat?”

“As Mrs. Brooks, you should receive special treatment,” he replied.
