Chapter: 881
Waylen then paid no attention to Maeve. He focused on the document and engaged in conversation with Jazlyn.

At that moment, Barry arrived.

As soon as he entered, Waylen pointed at Maeve and stated icily, “Miss Stanley wishes to revisit the contract. You can handle it with her. By the way, did we previously agree on an annual endorsement fee of 12 million dollars? Due to recent financial difficulties, we will reduce it to 10 million dollars. If she is dissatisfied, she doesn't have to sign the contract.”

Barry was taken aback.

What had happened?

Turning a cold gaze towards Maeve, Waylen declared, "Miss Stanley, henceforth, direct all your inquiries to Mr. Reed here!"

Having already saved her from humiliation once, and seeing that she had not grasped her mistake, Waylen felt no obligation to spare her further embarrassment.

He sought a spokesperson, not a lover!

Maeve found herself in a state of deep embarrassment.

It was only now that she realized that his rejection that night had not been a mere tease. He simply did not take her seriously and had no desire to be with her at all.

She had let her imagination run wild.

Afraid to offend Waylen, even in her embarrassment and with a reduced endorsement fee, she still maintained a polite tone as she said, “Mr. Fowler, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

Waylen merely nodded coldly in response.

Maeve couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment wash over her.

Once she had departed, Waylen made his way into the lounge.

Alexis had drifted off to sleep.

Rena, positioned beside her, propped her head with her hand.

With delicate fingers, she tenderly caressed Alexis' little face, exuding an intense focus and gentleness.

Unable to resist, Waylen removed his shoes and settled beside Rena.

His hand found its place on her slender waist, and he whispered, “I truly haven't done anything to encourage her."

In truth, Rena was well aware of this fact.

If he had harbored any intentions towards Maeve, there were countless opportunities for him to act on them back in Hondrau.
