Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Mr. Rowe, Let Me Introduce Maya Monroe

Being stared at by her cold and fierce eyes, the journalist suddenly felt an inexplicable fear. Swallowing hard, the journalist couldn’t utter a single word under Maya Monroe’s gaze.

With a signal from Ryan Spencer, bodyguards and assistants began to block off the entertainment reporters.

By this time, the event organizers had already sent over vehicles. Ryan patted Maya Monroe’s shoulder, "The car’s here, let’s get in."

Maya Monroe boarded the car under the escort of several bodyguards.

"I thought we were thoroughly prepared, and we even increased the number of bodyguards, but I didn’t expect something like this to happen..." Ryan’s voice was slightly dejected, but as he raised his head, a hint of relief appeared in his eyes, "Thankfully, you’re okay..."

"This is a blessing in disguise... No, as long as you’re fine, it’s fortunate, Maya." He sighed with lingering fears.

"By the way, how did you manage to subdue him?"

Maya paused, then feigned arrogance and said, "I’ve never been wronged like that since I was a kid. At that moment, I was so angry, just thinking about giving him a severe beating, otherwise, I couldn’t vent my anger!"

She turned her head, pondering what the original character might say.

"That man with the black hat was so malicious, he actually wanted to disfigure me, he must be made to serve a few years in prison!"

"Lost your head from anger?" Ryan contemplated, "You can’t be so impulsive in the future, let the bodyguards handle such dangerous situations next time."

"Maya Monroe, you must ensure this is the last time."

Maya obediently nodded.

"Ryan, make sure this incident gets big, I have quite a few haters, let’s treat it as a lesson for them."

"Right, although the extreme haters are few, they do exist..." Ryan frowned, "Perhaps setting an example is the best approach, if this incident is easily brushed aside, I’m afraid many extreme haters will continue to target you."

Considering Maya Monroe’s emotions, Ryan especially canceled all work arrangements in the afternoon to escort her home.

"Do you feel a bit better now, or are you still very scared?"

Maya was no longer chewing gum, feigning weakness, "I don’t know why, the more I think about it, the more scared I feel... You say, if that acid really splashed over, if I hadn’t dodged it..."

Pretending to be weak appropriately can bring unexpected benefits. For example, now, Ryan allowed her to rest at home instead of rushing to Province D for announcements.

Ryan’s brows furrowed as well, comforting her, "It’s all over... how about this, let’s go to the hospital for a check, I have an old friend who works at the city hospital, we..."

"That’s not necessary... I just feel a bit scared after the fact, a small problem doesn’t require a doctor, it’s too much trouble for the doctor."

Ryan disagreed, "Do you know how many big problems start from inconspicuous small ones that are overlooked? Health is capital, how can you not take it seriously? If you end up with some mental issues..."

He didn’t finish, his brows knitted tightly.

Maya particularly disliked hospitals, the smell of disinfectant made her feel suffocated.

"It’s really just a small problem for me, I forget things easily, once I go back and sleep, I’ll forget everything. I’ve been afraid of hospitals since I was a kid, if I really go, I feel I’ll get sick from fear."

"Get sick from fear?"

Maya nodded hastily.

"Then rest for a few days to see how it goes, if it doesn’t improve by then, we’ll go to the hospital."

"Ryan, I’ll get off here and go home first."

Ryan glanced aside, only to see an unusually familiar luxury car, yet he couldn’t remember where he’d seen it before, just felt it incredibly familiar.

"Strange..."

Suddenly, he saw the luxury car in front stop, and the next second, an elegantly cold man stepped out.

As he clearly saw the man’s face, Ryan was startled, turning to see Maya’s complex expression.

"Maya Monroe, I didn’t expect your family to be so wealthy..."

Even though he already had a deep understanding of this area, seeing Ian Rowe in that instant, Ryan couldn’t help but exclaim again.

Living in the same villa district as Ian Rowe, it seems Maya’s family isn’t ordinary either!

Who is Ian Rowe? Speaking broadly, he is the head of Valerius Group, and up close, he’s Ryan’s own boss, though they hadn’t met often. Ian Rowe was always low-profile and rarely made appearances at Valerius Entertainment.

As Ryan undid his seatbelt, he said, "Maya Monroe, I’ll step out for a moment."

Before Maya could respond, he had already gotten out, coincidentally, Ian Rowe was walking in their direction.

As they faced each other, Ryan was about to greet humbly when the other already spoke, his voice low, "Ryan?"

Ryan suppressed his inner surprise, not expecting Ian Rowe to know his name.

Despite being quite famous in the entertainment circle, in front of Ian Rowe, it was nothing. A person of Ian Rowe’s caliber wouldn’t usually pay attention to entertainment gossip.

"I didn’t expect Mr. Rowe would remember me, it’s truly an honor, I remember we met before at a meeting."

Ian Rowe’s gaze lingered on his face for a second, then shifted over his shoulder, withdrawing his gaze impassively, emotionless:

"Pleased to meet you."

As he spoke, he extended his hand.

Ryan blinked, then quickly reached out to shake hands.

"Hello, pleased to meet you."

"Does Mr. Rowe also live in this villa district?"

The other nodded slightly, "Do you live here too?"

Ryan explained, "I don’t live here, just came to drop off an artist."

Ian Rowe’s gaze was as usual, seemingly unsurprised, "You’ve worked hard."

Worked hard?

Ryan pondered this, unable to understand where he had worked hard, or why Ian Rowe would say ’you’ve worked hard’ with such a tone?

"Not hard at all, I always remember the company’s rules, always trying to realize my value in the company, there’s no end to striving, these are all what I should do."

Ryan kept observing Ian Rowe’s expression. In this business, reading people’s expressions was an essential skill. Suddenly, he noticed a slight smile on Ian Rowe’s face.

Then he saw Ian Rowe’s gaze shift, focusing intently somewhere.

"Maya Monroe."

Maya Monroe?!

Ryan heard it again, quite certain it was Ian Rowe’s voice calling out.

Ryan felt a bit surprised; he had never known his own artist had so much influence, to the point where even the company president knew her name.

"Maya Monroe, come over, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Rowe."

Maya had already noticed Ian Rowe but felt the previous incident was quite awkward, so she planned to sneak home while Ryan was chatting. However, it didn’t escape notice...

Maya had no choice but to straighten up and walk over, letting out a couple of awkward chuckles, "What a coincidence."
