Ian rose to his feet, his gaze lingering on her for a moment.
"Did you know," he began after a few seconds, "that seven floors down, it's all my turf?"
Maja was taken aback. "???"
The truth was, she had no idea.
With a clap of his hands, Ian summoned two men who looked like bodyguards from outside.
"Go find the phone. If it’s broken, get it fixed, and bring it back to me when it's as good as new."
Feeling uneasy, Maja instinctively wanted to protect Phelps's secrets. She couldn't explain her own behavior, feeling like a puppet on strings.
Ian's fingers grazed her head gently, helping her into her clothes.
She was at a loss for words, overwhelmed with guilt and fear, and deep inside, she felt a sharp, piercing pain.
The bodyguards returned after ten minutes with a report.
"Mr. Raymond, the phone was found quite a distance away. It's been taken for repairs," one of them informed.
Ian nodded, lighting a cigarette with his fingertips, and called for his private doctor.
After examining Maja, the doctor’s brow furrowed.
"Ms. Pennyfeather's vitals are all normal, she seems quite healthy," he announced.
Leaning against the nearby window, cigarette in hand, Ian's tone was casual. "You may leave. Get someone who understands psychology."

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....
