At eleven in the evening, a woman left the towering skyscraper, but it wasn't Maja. It was her assistant.
Wind stood in the shadows, planning to wait until the next day.
Unaware of him, Zoey entered the waiting car and instantly felt an air of oppression around her.
A man sat in the back seat, lightly tapping his fingers on a book resting on his knee.
It was her turn to keep him company tonight, but she really wanted to work overtime at the office. Unfortunately, her work was done.
The man glanced in Wind's direction, then withdrew his gaze, tugging slightly at the corners of his mouth.
He made a quick call, then abruptly pulled Zoey towards him.
"To your place?"
He was asking her, but his tone left no room for refusal.
Zoey was living in the same complex as other artists from the company. She was worried about being seen and quickly shook her head.
"No."
The man raised an eyebrow, his tone indifferent, "Then we'll go to a hotel."
He had specifically booked a presidential suite, to pamper her.
Zoey didn't dare say anything, hoping that Maja would call her at this moment.
Perhaps her prayers were effective, as her phone began to ring. It was indeed Maja, asking if she had finished work and could deliver a document to Greenfield Gardens.
Zoey's eyes lit up, and she felt revitalized.
"Alright, Ms. Pennyfeather, I'm on my way."
She immediately turned to the man beside her, "I'm sorry, Mr. Pennyfeather needs a document. I have to deliver it."
The man simply leaned back, "It won't affect us."
Zoey's complexion paled instantly. She wanted to leave on her own, but if she angered him, her night would be even worse.
She dared not say anything, watching helplessly as the driver headed towards Greenfield Gardens.
Her heart pounded, not wanting Maja to find out about her relationship with this man.
When they were two hundred meters from Greenfield Gardens, she couldn't hold back any longer.
"Stop the car."
Her body stiff, she didn't dare to look at the man, and under enormous pressure, she said, "Just drop me here. I'll come back after delivering the documents."
The man seemed to know what she was thinking. He snorted lightly, but said nothing.
Zoey quickly got out of the car, clutching her purse and ran towards the gates of Greenfield Gardens.
It wasn't until she was led into the villa by a servant that she finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she still felt a piercing gaze following her.

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....
