Chapter 701

"Zee isn't bringing you here to work, is he?" Lyra asked. She couldn't fathom Zion's intentions, her mind a whirlwind of questions. They had spent the entire morning getting Maeve ready, expecting to witness a grand proposal. But to her surprise, Zion had Charlie drop Maeve off at the entrance of Mirage Group. If Zion ever mentioned being her brother again, Lyra would deny it. This was just too embarrassing. "Hey, look! That's a Ferrari…" "Is some big shot visiting our company today? I didn't hear anything about it." A few employees loitering near Mirage Group's entrance stole glances in the direction of the car. From where they stood, they could easily catch glimpses of Charlie's striking face through the car window. With his dashing looks and captivating eyes, Charlie was already the kind of man who turned heads. Adding his reputation as a charming playboy, it was no surprise that many of the female employees harbored secret crushes on him. As he rolled down the window and removed his black sunglasses, some of the female employees' cheeks flushed as his gaze swept across the area. "Isn't that Mr. Foster? What's he doing here all of a sudden?" one of them murmured. "He's definitely looking at me." "No way! He's looking at me!" another shot back. The women bickered playfully as Charlie stepped out of the car under their watchful eyes. "Mr. Foster's getting out of the car! He's so handsome!" someone blurted out. "It's been ages since he's come to the office. Do you think he's here to meet our new general manager?" "I bet he is! Ms. Ramoz is the heiress of the Ramoz family and she's already engaged to Mr. Brooks. Since Brooks Group has recently invested in our company, Mr. Foster must be here to see her!" As he stepped out of the car, Charlie overheard their chatter. "Clara Stewart? Come on. She doesn't even deserve a second thought," he mused to himself. He sighed at how quickly the netizen forgot. Clara's involvement in that murder case had faded from memory in just a few short months. Now, she was back in the public, her image completely overhauled, all thanks to her new title as the future Mrs. Brooks. The irony was almost laughable. Charlie first opened the back door and politely helped Lyra out of the car. The other employees watched with a mix of awe and envy. After all, Lyra was Kur's niece and the head of the powerful Jansen family. Only someone of her standing could merit such attention from Charlie. But soon enough, Charlie, ever the gentleman, extended his hand to help Maeve out of the car. The onlookers, catching sight of Maeve, froze in disbelief. "Isn't that our former manager, Ms. Scott, who got fired? What's she doing here?" "Don't you know? It's all over the internet. The mysterious 'Century's Greatest Gigolo' everyone's been talking about is actually Mr. Spencer! And he's already engaged to Maeve." "Beauty really does open doors. Even after a divorce, she's still managed to marry into a wealthy family."
