The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Chapter 246 Stay by Her Side Buck was shocked to see the bag Mala handed to him.

“| didn’t lanow they had collected all the proof they could behind his back. | thought Victor had made sure not to leave any traces behind! With this evidence, it would be much easier for us!”

“Make sure that The Horizon Awards proceed as planned. | want this evidence to be exposed in front of all those famous personnel from the entertainment industry.”

“Don't worry, leave them to me!” Buck promised.

Maia nodded and got in the car. As she was inside, she could not help but glance toward the other direction that led to the parking lot. Was he still there?

Buck was parked next to her. By the time he started pulling out, Maia’s car was still parked. He drove over and gave her a honk. He lowered his window and yelled at her, “Ms. Maia, are you alright?”

When Maia heard him, she collected herself and drove out of the parking lot. Whether Cedric was still there or not had nothing to do with her.

By the time she was driving on the roads, she noticed that a car was trailing behind her. It followed her all the way to Cloud Nine Residence. She knew the number plate very well, but the man inside it did not show up in front of her.

When she got back home and went out to her balcony to pretend to retrieve her laundry, she noticed that the car was gone. Maia was confused about her own emotions as she brought her laundry back into the room.

Little did she know that the man who was constantly on her mind was still downstairs. Cedric knew that she would only get angry if she saw him here, so he decided to remain in the shadows. He wanted to be by her side, even if it meant staying hidden.

That night, Maia had a hard time falling asleep as she kept tossing and turning in bed. She. recalled how cold he looked standing by that lamppost.

Moments later, Maia tapped her temples as she remained herself not to think about him anymore. With that in mind, she took a deep breath and forced herself to sleep.

Cedric looked up at Maia’s dark room and lit a cigarette as he whispered to himself, “Sweet dreams, honey.”

He continued to stay by her side just to watch over her. He smiled sadly as he finished his cigarette. “I'll watch over you just like how you did to me.”

The next morning, Mala woke up to the sound of her phone ringing. She frowned as she threw the covers over her head. However, her cell phone kept ringing.

Finally, Mala sat up and answered her call in a daze. The moment she placed the phone to her ears, Buck’s voice came through.

“Ms. Malia, are you still in bed? It’s The Quest's final episode today, you have to go on the show soon! You need to start getting ready!”

Maia was wide awake when she heard Buck mentioning The Quest. She just realized that it was the show’s last episode and the day where they'd introduce their new girl group live!

“Don't tell me you’re still in bed? | already told you about this yesterday! I’m already at your place!” “Alright! Give me three minutes!”

As soon as Maia ended the call, she got up, rushed to the bathroom to wash up and get dressed. Maia almost messed up such an important day due to her lack of sleep from the other night! After today’s show, Starlight Entertainment would sign a two-year contract with the girl group form The Quest. Maia, as the CEO of the company, needed to be at the show.

While she was doing her hair, her thoughts drifted to Cedric. As the owner of Sunny Videos, he would also be there, right?

Maia’s movements slowed as she was caught in her thoughts. “He’s always busy. Maybe he won't have time to attend the event? Would he just pre-record a video to congratulate the winners?”

Maia stopped herself from over-thinking as she hurried to finish doing her hair and rushed to the elevators. When Buck finally saw her exiting the building, he heaved a sigh of relief. “Ms. Maia, get in the car!”

Buck quickly started the engine and drove out of the parking lot. “The itinerary for today’s show is next to you. You should take a look!”

Maia nodded as she took out the file and started to look through it.

“| know you're not a morning person, but you’re usually punctual. You've never been this late. What happened? Was it because you were looking through the evidence that we have?”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Nope, | just couldn’t seem to fall asleep.”

“Difficulty sleeping? You should really take note of your lifestyle. Insomnia is one of the first signs of aging!” Buck commented worriedly.
