Ian stood in the elevator, watching the numbers slowly descend, and he couldn't quite get his bearings.
Snapping back to reality, he frantically began to press the buttons for the higher floors, but they remained unlit.
Upon reaching the ground floor, he found his behavior amusing and stepped out of the elevator, waiting for it to ascend again.
But it was headed to the basement.
The other elevator nearby remained stuck at the top floor.
After waiting for a full minute, he became impatient. He found the staircase nearby and started running up.
Eight floors later, his forehead was covered in sweat. He yanked at his tie, accidentally knocking off a few buttons without even noticing.
He looked up, scanning his surroundings, and spotted Maja not far away.
Maja was wiping away tears, a sight that made his heart feel as though it had been pierced by an arrow.
Before approaching her, he straightened out his suit. Making sure there were no wrinkles, he walked over.
"Maja," he called, standing behind her.
Maja thought she was hallucinating. Hadn't he left?
She quickly wiped her tears away and turned around, her bright eyes focused on his face.
Her eyes were clearly washed by tears, with her eyelashes slightly wet.
She had lost a lot of weight recently. It seemed that Eric was not treating her well.
That made sense. If he was treating her well, he would have allowed her to recover her health before getting pregnant.
"Maja, are there any other secrets you're keeping from me?"
If she was honest, he was willing to marry her, give her a respectable status, and even raise her child.
He had lowered his expectations again and again.
He once thought he only wanted a woman who was clean and loved him passionately. But he got tangled up with Maja, who was then a married woman.
Later, he thought she should at least like him. But Maja now did not like him, and she was carrying Eric's baby.
He just couldn't stand seeing her like this.
As long as she was honest.

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....
