Maja sent Zoey out and then called in Shawn.
Shawn was dressed to the nines today, likely fresh from a magazine shoot, his makeup still intact.
"Mr. Pennyfeather, I heard from Mr. Elvis that you got hurt. How are you feeling?"
"It's nothing serious."
Shawn was tall, and from his vantage point, he could easily see the trace beneath Maja's collar, a hint of a passionate encounter with another man.
His fingers tightened on the side, a twinge of resentment stirring within him.
Was Ian trying to make a statement by deliberately leaving marks in such a place?
Mr. Pennyfeather wasn't his to claim exclusively, nor was she anyone else's to claim.
Maja, oblivious to Shawn's feelings, looked up and asked him smilingly.
"Did something happen during the shoot? I remember you joined a new project recently, didn't you?"
"No, everything is harmonious. The reputation of Star Movie Group is great, and the director is also good to me."
"That's good, the company won't force you to meet with investors. If anyone gives you a hard time, be sure to tell Elvis."
Shawn looked down. It was a long time before he asked, "Aren't you bothered by all the people online defaming me and you, Mr. Pennyfeather?"
Netizens claimed that Maja was trying to sleep her way to the top with Shawn, and this rumor had been ongoing.
Maja's tone was indifferent.
"You're a celebrity, you should have prepared for public scrutiny when you entered this industry. The money you earn in a month might be more than what an ordinary person makes in a lifetime. Therefore, you must be a hundred times stronger than them mentally. Don't take to heart whatever you see online."
Maja's words were all official, meant to console her artists. She gave Shawn no room for imagination.
Shawn stood there, watching as she lowered her head, and focused on the documents on her computer.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
