Chapter 18 

Maja swept the har back from her forehead, tucking it behind her ear. Her eyes were bright and clear. Her speech was crisp, tinged with a light laugh, and the extended her hand 

“Mr Raymond allow me to reintroduce myself I’m Penny, an interior designer. The item you’re holding is one of my works 

Ian came to a halt, thinking he must’ve heard wrong. 

When Maja saw that he didn’t shake her hand, she withdrew it leisurely 

Tve wanted to talk about this a few times, but you didn’t seem interested Seeing that you’ve kept my designs, I’m thinking maybe I could change your mind.” 

Her words flowed naturally. “If so, I think I owe you a favor” 

In his twenty odd years, lan had never been in such a situation. An interior designer? He glanced at the object in his hand, at the bottom of the picture was the designer’s signature and a string of numbers. Penny 

Remembering the conversations, his brows furrowed deeper Was it all a misunderstanding? 

His face darkened, he held the picture in hand, and sat back on the couch 

There was a knock on the door Jeff’s voice came from outside “Boss, the lady’s clothes ae here.” 

Maa quickly caught on, this was probably for her 

Just as Jeff was about to knock the door opened from inside, revealing a woman wrapped in a towel drenched from head to toe. A shock flashed in Jeff’s eyes. The meeting was suddenly interrupted, and many were curious about the woman by the boss’s side. They had to know who she was, to avoid offending her 

Jeff was also clueless, hearing whispers calling the woman Mr. Raymond’s wife. 

He paused and quickly handed over the bag. His gaze involuntarily darted inside, catching sight of lan sitting leisurely on the couch. His suit was slightly wrinkled, and he looked like he had just deal with some matters. 

Jeff quickly averted his gaze, hearing Maja say. “Thank you,” before the door closed. 

Maja tumed to lan, Mr. Raymond, could you wait a moment?” 

She walked into the bathroom. 

The hotel bathroom had frosted glass, you could clearly see the silhouette through the light. lan leaned back lifting his eyes. He saw her seemingly take off the most intimate piece, his eyes flinched, uncomfortably averting his gaze. 

Maachanged her clothes, tossed the towel into the hampet and came out. 

The outfit Jell brought was a women’s casual sel. It made her look even prettier 

She still held the card in her hand, “I don’t know how much this outfit costs, but the money on the card should suffice. Thank you, Mr. Raymond.” 

lan ifted his gaze to meet hers, trying to read the emotions hidden in her eyes, wondering if she was pulling on an act. But her straightforward demeanor, and the way she avoided him as much as possible, clearly indicated she wanted to avoid further complications. Somehow, this realization made him feel stifled. 

“SIL” He said tersely. “So Ryan introduced you to me for the Greenfield Gardens‘ house, right?” 

A flicker of surprise passed through Maja’s eyes. “What else could it be?”
