It was unclear what Ian was up to when he suddenly pushed her onto the couch.
Fearing someone might discover them, she quickly urged, "Let's go home. This isn't our place."
Ian, panting, held her tightly around her waist.
"Just a little taste."
Maja was still on high alert, but she couldn't seem to dissuade him.
Ian's "little taste" turned out to last until the end of the party.
By the time they emerged, her legs were shaking.
Only a handful of guests remained in the hall, saying their last goodbyes to the Haskins family.
Ian escorted her over to Fitch, greeted him, and announced their departure.
Maja, on the brink of exhaustion, suddenly asked, “Where's Zoey? Call Zoey.”
Ever since the two separated, Zoey's whereabouts had been unknown.
Ian glanced at Fitch for an answer.
Fitch stood solemnly before the remaining guests, his eyes reflecting a storm of impatience.
"Your assistant probably left ages ago."
Maja didn't inquire further.
Ian and Fitch locked eyes. Fitch, indifferent, turned away to deal with the lingering crowd.
As Maja was led to the car, she couldn’t resist a backward glance.
Most of the guests had left. Given the scene she had caused tonight, she imagined the social circles must be buzzing with gossip.
An unpleasant taste lingered in her mouth.
She leaned back in her seat and heard him ask, "Unhappy?"
"A bit."

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....
