Chapter 1025
Right after he finished speaking, he paid the bill and left before lan could react.
lan wasn’t too happy about this, which was evident in the thin line his lips formed.
Maja pushed a glass of juice towards him, looking resigned.
“I’m the one at fault here, and you’re just making things worse. Besides, Mr. Sanders is actually a pretty nice guy.”
lan stared at the food on his plate, finding it utterly unappetizing.
Especially knowing that the meal was paid for by Beck.
Maja patted his hand, “Not hungry?”
“Mmhmm.”
She knew he was just being jealous, but this was a habit of lan’s that really needed to be addressed.
So, she didn’t probe any further, focusing instead on her own meal.
lan was the type of person who would lose steam if she ignored him.
After a while, he quietly removed a napkin from the holder and wiped her mouth.
By the time they were ready to leave, it was half past eight. Maja’s phone had been ringing incessantly, all–calls
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfrom work.
The Star Movie Group had recently absorbed several operations, keeping everyone extremely busy, especially Maja,
who was a decision–maker. “I have to go back to work overtime.”
Tonight was their first dinner together since making their relationship official, and it hadn’t gone as well as they’d
hoped.
lan happened to be less busy these days, especially after recently reorganizing the Raymond Corporation. Now, all
he had to worry about was his grandfather’s affairs.
The worst thing for a couple was when one person was busy, and the other wasn’t. It made the less busy one feel
neglected.
He gripped the steering wheel, saying nothing, while Maja was already discussing the upcoming meeting with Zoey
over the phone.
lan wanted to drive to Greenfield Gardens, but she said, “All my stuff is at Rosewood Manor.”
So, he changed course and drove to Rosewood Manor instead.
Throughout the journey, Maja was on the phone, sometimes with partners, sometimes with Elvis, and even Shawn.
lan remained silent. When they arrived at Rosewood Manor, Maja got out of the car.
But she was still on the phone. Seeing that lan wasn’t getting out, she asked, covering the mouthpiece of her
phone, “Staying tonight?”
“No need,” he replied, pressing the accelerator again. “We’ll talk when you’re free.”
Maja opened her mouth to say something but quickly returned to her call. She then got back in the car..
“Are you mad? We just took over a quarter of the business from Simstar Entertainment. We’ve been hiring new
staff, and they haven’t adjusted yet. The pressure is high, and the higher–ups are very busy. I need to coordinate
the work.”
lan’s hands remained on the steering wheel, and he remained silent..
Maja reached over and patted his hand.
“Dinner tomorrow? At Greenfield Gardens?”
That brought a slight smile to his lips.
“Yeah.”
“You’re really not staying tonight?”
“No, you said you have to pull an all–nighter, right? I wouldn’t want to distract you!”
The implication of his words led to a few moments of silence.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaja hesitated in the passenger seat for a while before leaning over to peck his lips.
“Fine, I should go now.”
She exited the car closed the door, and waved at him from below.
Her cheeks were flushed, and lan’s ears were red.
When they used to sleep together, he never thought they’d have such sweet, everyday moments like this.
It was nice.
Tyler had been waiting for a while when he arrived at the BlueSky Bar.
“How did it go? Did you talk to Maja? Why did she spend two nights at the hotel? Was it with her first love?”
lan pushed him away, his voice cold.
“Stop spreading rumors about her.”
Tyler stared at him incredulously. Back when no one knew Penny was Maja, lan had a great time sneaking around
with her without admitting he liked her.
He just claimed he wasn’t tired of her yet.
It made sense now that he knew he was fooling around with his own wife. Why would he let her go?
Hadn’t he willingly played the role of the other man for her before?
