Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 833

Audrey chose a highly renowned upscale restaurant in Aethelburg for their meeting.

Maeve had already eaten dinner before she arrived.

So, she simply ordered a mug of hot cocoa.

Watching the waiter walk away, Audrey chuckled.

"The prices here are actually quite reasonable. You really don't need to try and save me money."

Maeve cupped the warm mug in her hands, enjoying the perfect temperature and the rich aroma wafting from it.

"I only showed up with the full intention of ripping you off, but the dinner I ate half an hour ago hasn't digested yet."

"Ripping you off right now would just be torturing my own stomach, so I decided to pass."

Audrey didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Maeve's sharp tongue.

"You really don't leave people any room to breathe, do you?"

"Whether I leave room for someone depends entirely on who I'm talking to," Maeve replied smoothly.

"So I take it I don't make the cut?" Audrey asked.

Maeve smiled.

"Just cut to the chase. We aren't exactly close enough to sit around making small talk."

Audrey wasn't particularly eager to exchange pleasantries, either.

"Since you like being direct, I'll lay my cards on the table."

"Maeve, I want you to reconsider Lab C's offer and officially join our team."

Maeve raised an eyebrow.

"Did Simon Grover order you to buy me dinner today?"

"This has nothing to do with him. It was entirely my own decision," Audrey insisted.

Maeve hummed. "I thought you hated my guts."

"Our relationship hasn't deteriorated to that extreme," Audrey said softly.

"When you were first brought to the lab, I admit, I was deeply jealous of you."

"I've known the Boss for years, and he has never given a second glance to any woman."

"You were his one and only exception."

"I'm genuinely sorry about what happened to Subject 1152. I wasn't the mastermind behind the incident, but he still died because of my involvement."

"If all that chaos hadn't happened, you'd already be an official member of the lab."
