Chapter 234 Look At Your Dashing Husband!
Moments later, the drones took off and flew toward Mala’s office.
“Why are there seven drones hovering at your window?” Nigel asked in surprise as he saw them outside.
Maia followed Nigel’s gaze as her eyes landed on the drones hovering in a straight line, right. outside her windows.
When she looked closer, she saw that each had a banner attached that had ‘Honey, please don’t ignore me!‘ written on them.
It was obvious who the message was from. Maia gritted her teeth angrily and hissed his name in annoyance. She had never
expected him to take this approach when she declined to see him.
Just then, Cedric’s voice came from the drones, “Honey, your dashing husband will be waiting for you in the lobby!”
Maia could feel her blood boiling. He really was shameless as there was no method he would not use just to get his way!
Nigel was also furious as he offered fiercely, “Maia, do you want me to help you with this? We shouldn’t tolerate his
unreasonable behavior!”
“With his capabilities and social standing, he could do whatever he wants.” Maia knew that even if Nigel confronted Cedric about
this, he would only end up being hurt. Maia did not want that to happen to Nigel.
“Just ignore him. Where were we? Let’s continue.” Maia decided after some thought as she went back to focus on the
documents on her table.
“You’re just going to let him do this? This will only attract unnecessary attention.”
“It’s too late.” Maia took out her phone and pointed to her notifications.
‘Mt. Cedric
Cedric uses drones to attract the attention of his beloved!‘
“The media catches on fast, but I’m sure without Cedric’s permission, they wouldn’t dare publish this.‘
Nigel was right. This was definitely under Cedric’s orders as publicly professing his love for Maia was his way of intimidating
Nigel.
“I’m guessing he probably knows that I’m here. I don’t think either of us had thought that he would do this after you declined to
see him in person. Twitter is probably in a frenzy now.”
Maia opened the app on her phone. She was not at all surprised to see that the incident had become the top news of the day.

“Why is Ms. Mala so heartless? How can she reject Mr. Cedric? He is such a heartthrob and every woman’s dream!”
“I’m envious of Ms. Maia again! Just get back together already!”
“Don’t be ridiculous. I don’t think they’ll be able to reconcile. My friend working at Starlight Entertainment told me that Ms. Mala
doesn’t want to see Mr. Cedric. That’s why he went and bought those drones!”
“Wow, I feel bad for Mr. Cedric. Ms. Maia, look at how much this man loves you!”
Every comment under the post was supporting Cedric. Maia placed her phone down angrily as she looked outside.
Minutes later, she took up the phone on her desk and called her secretary.
“Paige, get the security team to bring those drones down.” Maia knew that her every move was being watched by Cedric.
“This behavior can be considered as corporate espionage, no? We’re only trying to maintain our company’s privacy. Don’t worry.
I’ll pay for those damaged drones.”
“Got it. I’ll get the team to do it right away.”
Maia hung up and waited patiently. Shortly after, there were a number of people using extended sticks to try to bring the drones
down. As she witnessed them being shot down, she felt a strange sensation in her heart.
Maybe it was just her feeling bad for destroying those newly bought drones. Maia’s head was in a mess as she continued to
zone out from work.
Maia was finally able to regain her composure after Nigel had tried calling her name a few times.
“Sorry, Nigel. What were you saying?”
“I was surprised that you’d take action right away. It looks like you really don’t want to have anything to do with him. However,
this wouldn’t solve anything as he would keep on pestering you. Why don’t you consider taking up my offer?”
Maia knew that he was referring to the offer of marrying him, but she pretended that she could not remember. “Sorry, Nigel. I
don’t remember what you offered.”
Nigel studied Maia as she continued to play dumb. He knew that this was her way of making him move on from the subject.
“Nigel, let’s stop wasting time and get back to work.”
