"Carol, I've been neglecting your feelings lately, I admit it. I'll talk to Listina, and she does depend on me too much."
Seeing his compliant attitude, Carol felt a pang of guilt, but she didn't want her boyfriend constantly running around for another woman.
Taking a deep breath, she tiptoed and planted a quick kiss on his lips.
"Alright, I'll leave first."
With that, she grabbed her keys and quickly left.
As soon as she left, the warmth in Felix's smile slowly vanished. His mood darkened as he wiped his lips, thinking of their recent intimacy, which left his breathing disorderly.
He was getting carried away with that act.
But he had to remind himself constantly, and it was just a game.
Lowering his lashes, he, too, left the place.
Carol first went to the Raymond Corporation, hoping on a whim that Ian, the workaholic, might be working late at the office.
But after asking around, it was clear Ian wasn't there.
Carol then drove to Greenfield Gardens, parking her car next to Ryan's.
Recognizing him, she rolled down her window without hesitation and greeted him.
"Mr. Elston."
Ryan knew her. After all, the Miller Group was a dominant industry nationwide and was always in the top five, even in the circle.
He raised his chin in greeting with a smile.
"Ms. Miller, long time no see. How come you don't attend these circle events anymore?"
Carol had been busy dating for the past few months and had completely faded out of the circle. Abner thought she was taking a break, as the old Carol was quite wild and a regular at the bars.
"Mr. Elston, I'd like to ask about Maja. You may not know, but she's my best friend."
Surprise flickered in Ryan's eyes, and he didn't know.
Following that, his expression darkened as he relayed the possibility of Maja's involvement in Holden's murder.
Carol knew about Holden's death. Her father even visited the memorial service, but she wasn't close with the other members of the Raymond family, so she didn't attend. She was shocked by the news of Maja's involvement.

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....
