Chapter 233 Seven Drones
“Really?” Cedric asked as his lips trembled.
Baz nodded convincingly, “Of course. Ms. Maia would never be interested in someone like Nigel!”
“You’re right. She’s not even interested in me.”
Baz was taken aback by his reply as he quickly nodded and added, “That’s why you shouldn’t worry about Nigel!”
When Baz thought he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, Cedric said, “Even if she’s not interested in him, she shouldn’t
be spending so much time with another man!”
Baz could only lower his head and remain silent. His boss was unreasonable when he was jealous!
After a while, Baz suggested, “Then, why don’t we show up at Starlight Entertainment and confront Nigel?”
“Confront him? Why should I?” Still, as soon as Cedric finished, he stood up and walked
toward the door with his car keys.
“Mr. Cedric, where are we going?” Baz hurried behind him and asked in confusion.
“Starlight Entertainment.”
“I thought he didn’t want to confront Nigel?‘ Baz could only follow behind Cedric in a rush. He could never seem to keep up with
Cedric’s thoughts.
Cedric had decided to personally drive to Maia’s company as he could not bear the thought of her being alone in a room with
another man.
When they got to Starlight Entertainment, Cedric threw his keys to Baz and instructed him to park the car.
Baz was still in a daze from Cedric’s erratic driving as Cedric got out of the car without a second thought and walked toward the
When Cedric entered the building, he caused a small commotion at the front desk.
“I need you to check the visitors‘ list. Hey, are you listening?”
“L–look who’s here!”
“Who?” The receptionist turned toward the entrance as she was surprised to see a good- looking man dressed in a tailored suit
walking toward them.
She just gasped like a fish out of water as she tried to formulate words to say.

Cedric walked toward the elevators calmly. The front desk receptionists and security guards were too shocked to move as they
did not know whether they should even stop him.
“What should we do?”
“I think he’s here to see the CEO. Mr. Cedric was so eager to prove Ms. Maia’s innocence when the scandal happened.”
“I know that. My question is, should we stop him? According to our company’s policy, we need to check if visitors have an
appointment or not.”
“Let’s check. We wouldn’t want to be fired for breaking protocol.”
“Right! Let’s smile and ask him nicely!”
Shortly after, two receptionists approached Cedric and smiled politely, “Good afternoon, Mr.
Cedric. Do you have an appointment?”
“Do I need to make an appointment just to see my wife?” Cedric said, looking at them sternly.
The receptionists took a deep breath and continued, “Sorry, it’s not about that. Our company has a policy that all visitors need to
make prior appointments before they are allowed to enter the building. We know that you and Ms. Maia are a couple and we’re
also fans of you.
Before they could proceed, the phone at the front desk rang. It was Maia’s secretary.
“Ms. Maia said that she’s in a meeting with someone important. She would not be able to see anyone else, especially those
without an appointment.”

The receptionist who was on the other line was momentarily stunned before replying that she had got the message.
After hanging up, she walked briskly toward Cedric and relayed the message from Paige, “Mr. Cedric, Ms. Maia said that she’s in
a meeting with an important client. She would not be able to make time for other unscheduled meetings.”.
Baz was also at the lobby after parking Cedric’s car. He was surprised to hear what the receptionist had said as he mumbled to
himself. ‘Ms. Maia really is fearless to be able to say. that to Mr. Cedric,‘
He took a glance at Cedric’s unhappy face and immediately took over, “Thank you for your help. Please return to your duties.”
The receptionists were relieved to see Baz, and they smiled and nodded before scrambling

When they left, Baz turned to look at his boss as he waited for his next order. Surprisingly, Cedric just turned around and left the
building.
Baz quickly followed behind and asked, “Mr. Cedric, we’re not going to force our way in?” “11 do that, won’t that just make her
more angry?” Cedric asked.
“That’s true. The journey to being a good husband is not to anger your wife. Then, are we leaving? Is it okay that you came all
the way here without even seeing Ms. Maia? Nigel is still in her office.”
Baz was confused. His boss was not someone who would give up so easily.
“Go to the mall next to the office and get me seven drones.”
“Drones? What for?” Baz could not believe his ears. He was confused at Cedric’s instructions. Why would he need so many
drones?
“Do you have a problem with my orders?”
“Not at all! I’ll go get them immediately!” Baz hurried off, feeling relieved that the mall next door was a part of HL corporation’s
subsidiary labels.
