The Heir's Secret Bride (Maeve and Byron) novel Chapter 426

Chapter 426 

The guy felt all kinds of awkward and shot Maeve Reese a mean look. “Who are you looking down on, woman? Do who I am? Do you still want to survive in the fashion industry in the future?” 

He tapped the table with his hand, looking conceited, and arrogant. 

Maeve was just about to tell him to scram when she 

“Ms. Reese, there you are.”

Fran’s eyes lit up the second he saw Maeve. He ditched his secretary and hightailed it over. He grinned and asked her, “How you holding up today? Keeping up with the lessons okay?” 

There weren’t a whole lot of people in the restaurant. When they saw this scene, they started eyeballing Maeve and Fran, trying to figure out what the deal was between them. 

Everybody knew Yoke was just one of the Richard family’s assets! Fran was Warren’s only son and was set to inherit his title and all that good stuff in the future. 

An aristocratic bachelor like him had no lack of admirers. 

When Maeve heard Fran’s words, she couldn’t help but think he’d come just for her. Remembering Mr. Warren’s whole matchmaking thing before, she couldn’t help but feel a bit squirmy seeing him now. 

She hoped she was wrong. 

“Thanks for asking. I’m doing just fine,” she said, a bit out of sorts 

Fran’s expression shifted a tad when he saw the dude next to her. “Anything else?” 

“N–no, I’ll leave now!” The man smiled awkwardly and fled with his plate. 

Fran looked away and beamed at Maeve. “I’m back in town for a bit to handle some business. I’ll be around for a while. If you need a hand, hit me or my secretary up. Don’t be a stranger 

Maeve nodded and thanked him for his kindness. 

He didn’t stick around long. After chatting with Maeve for a bit, he took off in a rush. 

The second he left, the dead silence in the restaurant flared right back up. 

Maeve wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but those fancy managers were glaring daggers at her. 

As evening approached, Maeve went to the washroom and was about to return, but the door of the cubicle could not be opened. 

Right then, a bucket of gross, dirty water came crashing down from above the stall. Even though she managed to dodge quickly, her clothes still got soaked. 

A complacent laugh came from next door. He threw down the bucket and quickly fled, 

Maeve had a headache. Fran had really drawn a lot of hatred for him. 

On the first day he came here, he mentioned the toilet prank. 

These people were really boring.

She took off her wet jacket and held it in her hand. She hopped up on the toilet and grabbed the top of the stall door. She swung over and landed in the next stall. 

She smoothed out her skirt and strolled out. When she saw the puddle of water on the floor that could’ve made her take a spill, she tiptoed around it.
