Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102 

Mia looked as pale as a sheet. She thought her previous experience was the nadir of embarrassment, but boy, was she wrong now. 

Tears welled up in her eyes. Seeing Samuel here, she felt utterly humiliated. Unable to control her emotions, she bolted out of the room in tears. 

Maja kept a poker face, watching Mia flee. Then, she lowered her head and switched off her phone. 

Riding an elevator with these big shots, Maja was cool as a cucumber. She was well–prepared for the negotiating with Samuel. 

Samuel stood beside her, his tone gentle and his intentions clear. 

“Penny, there’s a grand fireworks display in Greenfield tonight. We have a private box with the perfect view.” 

Maja gave a faint smile. Grand fireworks? 

Indeed, Greenfield did have fireworks during the New Year’s celebration. The entire city would be surrounded by fireworks, attracting people from other cities to watch. But at other times, she never heard of any fireworks in Greenfield. 

Offering roses, followed by fireworks, seemed to be Samuel’s go–to move to win a girl’s heart. 

She chuckled, “Thanks but no thanks, Mr. Brown, I’d like to discuss matters related to Mr. Carnes‘ company. I’m curious about what special treatment you’ve given him.” Samuel didn’t get upset about being turned down. 

Smiling, he stood up as the elevator reached the top floor. The other three men were also getting off here. Maja gave them a quick glance. But lan was the first to leave, guided by a waiter to a pre–booked private room. 

Maja was also led by a waiter to her room, which surprisingly was next to lan’s. 

Stepping into the room, she saw roses strewn from the entrance to the dining table. She thought to herself, “This is so cliché.” 

Such a setup was hard to stomach. If it wasn’t for her eagerness to find out what it would take for Samuel to allow the other renovation companies to work with her, she would never be here. 

She managed to hold back her feelings, took a seat, and gave Samuel a smile. “Mr. Brown, you sure know how to set the mood.” 

This approach had worked for Samuel with many girls before. If he presented an expensive piece of jewelry now, the girl would be over the moon, like she had met her Prince Charming. 

So when he heard ‘Maja’s comment, he thought he had won her over already. He confidently walked over and poured a glass of red wine for Maja. 

“To win over a woman like you, I need to put in the effort.” 

Maja didn’t take a sip. She knew all too well about Samuel’s tactics, and the fact that he was Daniel’s son kept her on her toes. 

“Mr. Brown, I’ve been working with Mr. Carnes for three years now. His sudden refusal caught me off guard. I have wide connections in the renovation industry. I wonder what I did to offend you.” 

Samuel calmly swirled the wine in his glass, and leaned back into the chair, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips. 

“I thought I made myself clear tonight.” 

He took a sip of wine and set the glass on the table. 

“Penny, you’ve slept with lan for sometime. Now that you’ve tasted him, aren’t you interested in trying someone else? I mean, compared to him, I don’t fall short.” 

He thought Maja would get angry at his words, but she didn’t. She remained composed.
