Tyler was momentarily stumped, feeling a sense of unease but unsure of its origin.
He helplessly watched as Ian left the room.
He turned to Fitch, who was still seated on the couch.
"Fitch, why do I get the impression that Ian seems fine? Has he finally seen Maja's true colors and decided to focus on his career?"
Fitch didn't reply. He just lowered his gaze and looked at the chess game in front of him.
Ian arrived at the Raymond Corporation, with all the top executives watching him. He handed his finished paperwork to Jeff and promptly arranged a meeting with the upper management.
Patrick was absent from the meeting today. He had been busy taking care of Maja.
Ian sat at the head of the table, casually spinning his pen while listening to the executives' reports.
The atmosphere was tense, as the executives were all worried. They had seen their CEO being supported out of the building that morning and now he was back, seemingly fine. But no one dared to speak up, fearing they would become the target of his anger.
However, although Ian was a bit cold during the meeting, his suggestions were still sharp and insightful. He criticized a few executives before putting down his pen.
"Meeting adjourned. I want a detailed report on Dylan's recent actions from the business department."
With that, he was the first to stand up and leave.
The others remained seated, not daring to move.
It wasn't until the conference room door closed that everyone let out a sigh of relief. It was as if they had been saved from a near-death experience.
Everyone exchanged glances before hastily instructing the business department to come up with a plan.
Ian returned to his office and continued to sort out the stacked paperwork.
Jeff stood by him quietly, helping with the sorting but not daring to ask anything else.
He suspected that Ian might use work to numb himself.
Before meeting Ms. Pennyfeather, Ian was already a workaholic. Now, it seemed like he was just reverting to his old ways.
Meanwhile, the gossip about the two brothers was escalating.
[Did you hear that? Maja showed up at Raymond Corporation. She's been dating Eric this whole time.]
[Poor Ian, he was nearly going crazy looking for her, while she and Eric were having a good time.]
[It seems like Ian has come to his senses, realizing that she's not worth it.]
[Maja is so despicable, wavering between the two brothers. Who knows how many times she's been played. Only Eric and Ian are foolish enough not to see through her.]
The public's disdain for Maja was growing. Meanwhile, Judith, who was still in the hospital, had also heard these rumors.
Since regaining consciousness, she had been coaxing Wind to keep her secret.
As a reward for Wind, she would willingly kiss him once a day.
Wind believed they were now in a relationship, but deep down Judith still looked down on his status.

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....
