Chapter 937
Wilma had a sudden realization and immediately downed a shot of vodka.
Zoey couldn’t bear to watch any longer. Seeing Maja about to take a call, she got up and left the karaoke box due
to the loud music, with Shawn following
her out.
The call was from lan. It was already ten o’clock, and he hadn’t seen Maja yet, even though they had planned to
meet that night.
Maja found a quiet corner to answer the call.
“What’s up?” she asked.
“Maja, where are you?” lan questioned.
“I’m at a staff dinner.” Maja responded.
Leaning against a wall, she suddenly remembered that she was supposed to meet lan tonight.
“I might be late tonight,” she said.
No sooner had she spoken than she heard Shawn’s voice from behind her.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, Shawn called her.
Maja was a little dense when it came to matters of the heart, thinking he wanted to report on work in Hollywood,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe covered the phone and said, “Shawn, you go back first; I’ll be right there.”
But lan had heard Shawn’s voice and suspected that this wasn’t just a regular staff dinner, but a date.
Maja quickly explained this to lan after speaking with Shawn.
“It’ll be about two hours,” she said.
lan wasn’t pleased, but he didn’t want to show it directly, as it would make him seem desperate to see her.
He didn’t hang up, and Maja felt awkward doing so.
After a three–minute silence, she asked, “Anything else?”
But before she could finish her sentence, she heard a woman’s scream from behind.
“It’s Shawn! It’s really Shawn!”
“Oh my god! He’s back after The Endgame!”
The woman’s scream almost made the corridor shake. Maja quickly hung up and pulled Shawn into a nearby
karaoke box.
The box was empty, private, and lockable.
As soon as they entered, she covered the window in the door with a pillow from the sofa.
Shawn was famous now and could be recognized even like this.
Maja immediately called a few bodyguards from the company and also had the PR team working overtime to
monitor the evening’s trending topics. Before long, Shawn was trending, but the trending content was all wrong.
[I just saw Shawn at the karaoke. Was he forced to drink by the boss of Star Movie Group?]
[He just got off the plane, hasn’t even adjusted to the jet lag, and Maja is so heartless!]
[What good intentions could that woman have?]
[You’re all criticizing Maja, but at least she helped Shawn get his break in Hollywood.]
“She only helped Shawn for her own benefits; she’s only interested in his looks; she’s famously fickle in rich circles.”
Soon, both Shawn and Maja were trending, with eyewitnesses claiming that Shawn was pulled into a karaoke box by
a woman.
Everyone was outraged, demanding that Maja, this ugly woman, release Shawn immediately.
Maja sat in the box, with the window in the door covered, the crazy fans outside couldn’t see in.
Shawn sat across from her, nervously removing his mask and hat.
Being alone in a room with Maja was something Shawn had never even dared to dream of.
Maja was waiting for the bodyguards to arrive. Later in the night, the bar would start to clear out, and they could
leave then. But there was no way she could go to Greenfield Gardens tonight.
She sat on the sofa, feeling that Shawn had something to say, so she took the initiative.
“Did they bully you on the set?”
“No, everyone was nice
Maja nodded, all business. “You’re famous now, you need to be careful about what roles you take. I’ll have your

There wouldn’t be a repeat of the Ford incident, and Ford had already suffered the consequences, with this month’s
sales hitting rock bottom–just desserts.
Shawn was already nervous, and seeing Maja only concerned with his work, he didn’t dare say more. He just
lowered his eyes and listened patiently, his hands tightly clasped together.
At Greenfield Gardens.
lan was restless: his phone was filled with several entertainment news alerts. On opening, he found that Maja and
Shawn were trending.
The comments were all about Maja being attracted to Shawn’s looks. Hence, she spent a fortune to secure this role
for him.
There were also comments saying Maja was not worthy of Shawn.
lan was fuming at these messages.
Because the role for Shawn was indeed secured by Maja by selling off her ex–husband, namely him. He had been
angry for a long time, and now these two were trending.
His hand clenched the phone, he couldn’t stand people criticizing Maja like this.
Although he did think Maja was heartless, he could criticize her, but what right did these netizens have to talk about
her like this?
