The moment those words were spoken, a collective gasp resonated across the room.
Everyone had assumed that he was with Judith, that they were on the cusp of exchanging wedding vows. But what was happening now?
Fitch shifted his gaze onto Maja, his tone nonchalant.
"Haven't you introduced her before?"
"Oh!"
The crowd gasped louder. So, Fitch had known all along that Maja was Ian’s girlfriend?
The woman Ian had talked about on Facebook was Maja.
Everyone's visage became a trifle more subtle. If Ian was infatuated with Maja, then what was the deal with Judith?
Ian shot Fitch a smile, then pointed upstairs.
"Maja is a bit upset right now. I'm going to go up and soothe her. I'll be back down later."
Fitch nodded.
Ian pulled Maja into his arms and walked towards the elevator not far away.
Maja felt like a puppet on strings, unable to process anything.
All she knew was that Ian had publicly acknowledged their relationship in front of everyone.
He had given her a status with such dignity and candor.
Love didn't always appear when she was on top of the world.
But it definitely came when she was at her lowest.
She mulled over this phrase as he led her into the elevator under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
Her lashes cast long shadows on her cheeks, and she remained silent.
What she had never said was how much she yearned for her biological parents, especially when she saw how much Beck adored his little sister. She wondered if she could have had a doting older brother or a sister yearning for her.
She had pondered this once, but she never thought that the reality of family ties could make her feel so disoriented.
The moment the elevator doors closed, Ian let her go.
Again, silence filled the space between them.
The elevator stopped at the fourth floor, a private area where guests wouldn't venture.

Why are there no updates yet, Author. We've all been waitibg for quite a while now. Please, update soon, Author. Thanks....
Author, my thoughts on the book. When are You going to write on Cornelia and Omar Casson's romance? You made no mention, describing in detail how Maja and Uan's white wedding ceremony went. Also, you didn't write on Carol's baby delivery. What about Tyler's romance. Is there closure on Phelps Herrington being truly certified dead, so also his twin brother? Dylan's research institute "little girl", what became of her and Dylan's romance? Beck's blind dates, what were the results, is he married now, so also Dylan to his "little girl"? Why hasn't Ian's father- Steven come forward to meet Maja's parents as the in-laws meeting each other especially with his supposed past with Lillian; Maja's mother. I hope I won't remain curious for too long on the aforementioned issues, Author. Thanks for doing a good job on Zoey and Fitch's romance, though. Kudos....
