Chapter 251 Do You Want Me?
Buck burst into laughter and changed the topic, saying, “Hey Ms. Maia, the show’s team wants you to post a Tweet for the finale
of ‘The Quest.’
Baz also came running to Cedric, panting heavily, and said, “Mr. Cedric, the team talked to us. They want to use the corporate
Twitter to post about the ‘The Quest‘ finale. Since Sunny Videos is under HL Corporation, they said it’s all cool if you don’t agree.
They just suggested it.
Cedric listened, looked at Maia, and asked, “Should we do it?”
Baz and Buck exchanged glances and widened their eyes in surprise. Cedric, as if seeking his wife’s opinion, spoke with such a
gentle tone, as if whether to post or not, he would follow
Maia’s decision.
“If Mr. Cedric wants to post, then go ahead. There’s no need to ask for my opinion. Sunny Videos isn’t mine, it belongs to HL
Corporation’s,” Maia immediately responded, taking out her phone from her pocket.
As she was about to post the Twitter, Cedric’s deep voice sounded behind her, “I’ll give you Sunny Videos tomorrow.”
His words were casual, but they carried a serious undertone. Buck and Baz were now left with mouths wide open, wide enough
to fit an egg.
“Wait,” Maia immediately said, “Compared to Mr. Cedric, I’m broke. The poor don’t accept handouts, I prefer to win things over
based on my capabilities.”
“Then, will you compete with me?”
Now, Baz and Buck couldn’t stand still anymore. They both leaned against the wall. Who would’ve thought that the once arrogant
and extremely ruthless guy would say such things.
The unexpected contrast was mind–blowing!
“I don’t want anything that costs money,” Maia refused..
“Are you sure it’s about money/and not about the heart?”
Losing money was impossible, anyone who got together with Cedric would never lose money in the long run.
“As you know, I’m also a businesswoman. We like to measure everything in money. So, eyes, losing money and losing heart are
the same, both are losses.”

She had already experienced it once, nearly losing her life along with it. She was unwilling to give in.

After that, Maia walked directly towards the exit. Every step she took was ruthless. Buck quickly caught up.
Cedric stood in place, gazing at Maia’s slender figure. Even though there was a hint of pain in his eyes, the look he cast upon
her remained tender.
Cedric’s current emotional state wasn’t new to Baz, but each time he saw him like this, it was always because of Maia.
“Mr. Cedric, shouldn’t we catch up? Ms. Maia has already gone far... If we don’t hurry, we will lose her,” Baz suggested.
“Now, there’s something more important.”
Baz paused, puzzled. “What is it?”
“Tonight, I want to see how skilled this person is, the one who disrupted the smooth ending of ‘The Quest‘.” Cedric’s words fell as
he headed straight to the backstage.
Baz had an epiphany. Cedric was making the move himself! This was another excellent learning opportunity for him! He quickly
followed Cedric.
Following Maia through a special passage into the underground parking lot, Buck finally spoke up, “Ms. Maia, what you said to
Mr. Cedric just now was too cool! But this is also the first time I’ve seen Mr. Cedric act like that... It’s really unbelievable.”
Maia looked at Buck’s astonished face and asked, “What’s he like?”
Buck immediately responded, “In front of you, Ms. Maia, and in front of others, he’s like two different people. It’s obvious!”
“Either way, he’s annoying,” Maia said, opening the car door and stepping into the luxurious
vehicle
annoying to you?”
Maia, sitting in the back seat, opened Twitter. Her Twitter had completely blown up, and all the top comments only had two
words. “Remarry.”
Pretending not to notice, Maia immediately reposted the official Twitter of “The Quest” and wrote a simple caption: “Thanks to all
the contestants, supporters, and hardworking staff. Thanks to this summer for letting us meet and this fall for letting us meet
again.”
After the tweet was posted, Maia locked her screen, putting the phone back in her pocket. But the next second, her phone
vibrated.
HL Corporation used its official Twitter to repost her Twitter, with just one line: “Whatever Maia says is the truth. Cedric agrees.”

Seeing this line, Maia burst into laughter. In the front seat, Buck instantly froze, and looked at Maia through the rearview mirror.
“Ms. Maia, what happened? Why are you laughing so happily?”
She immediately suppressed her laughter and replied, “Nothing, just saw a funny joke. Let’s drive.”
He nodded and steered the car towards the misty city streets. The vehicle smoothly navigated through the urban roads...
The car remained silent until Maia’s phone rang. She saw it was a video call from Errol. Maia pressed the answer button, and
Errol and Elena appeared on the phone screen.
“Sis, congratulations despite the little incident midway, tonight’s live broadcast of ‘The Quest ‘exceeded 600 million views!” Errol
wore a full smile, immediately gesturing, “Sis, Elena and I have been watching the live stream the whole time!”
Elena also nodded immediately, following with gestures, “Yeah, I picked several sisters! Sis, you look so beautiful without
makeup on stage! It’s 11pm now, how about we go for supper together?” Elena suggested.
Errol agreed, “Sis, you must be hungry, right? Where are you now? We’ll come find you and go for supper together!”
Indeed, Maia was feeling a bit hungry. After getting up, she hadn’t eaten anything and was dragged straight to the program
venue until now.
Maia couldn’t refuse Errol and Elena’s invitation.
“I’m on the way back to Cloud Nine Residences now. How about we meet at the campus city? There are lots of supper choices
there.”
“Sure, sure.” Errol and Elena nodded consecutively. “Let’s meet at the campus city!”
After the video call ended, Maia had Buck change the direction and head towards the campus city.
