Chapter 223
Maja nodded, pondered for a moment, and still asked, “Do you guys know the owner of that cherry wood flooring shop?”
Daly’s current job isn’t too shabby, and he works in a legit company. Although the pay isn’t great, he knows quite a few people.
“I’ll ask around for you and let you know if I find anything.”
With that, Maja finally relented and returned to her hotel.
She was planning to take a bath and hit the sack.
But after her bath, she found a huge bug on her bed and immediately chickened out. She spent the night dozing off on a chair in her clothes, which made her neck ache like hell
The next morning, she woke up to a text from Daly saying that Mr. James and his gang were heading over to that place tonight
I’ve talked to Mr. James. He’ll pick you up.]
After having some com soup and eggs benedict, Maja waited outside her hotel.
The first car that arrived was a run-of-the-mill one, not worth over twenty grand.
Following it was a Rolls Royce. Maja Instantly recognized it as lan’s ride.
No way!
Just as she was thinking this, Mr. James got out of the car and ushered Maja over to the Rolls Royce.
Maja’s previous artwork had greatly pleased Mr. Raymond, and she had ridden in Mr. Raymond’s car before.
As the car window rolled down, lan’s face came into view.
Even here, his lap was piled high with documents.
He was wearing an expensive Patek Philippe on his wrist. His hands were slim and exquisite, and the veins on his hands were clearly visible His hands were as captivating as his face.
“Mr. Raymond, this is the girl who drew the picture last time. We’re going on a field trip, and she needs a ride to a nearby place. We’re all guys in our car, and some of us smoke. She might not be comfortable, so can she go with you? Bob asked with a sincere smile on his face.
Maja saw lan’s fingertips tighten a little as he held his documents. He was probably disturbed by the interruption
Just as she was about to decline the offer, she heard his clear voice, “Hop in.”
Maja had no choice but to get in.
She pretended to admire the scenery outside the window as the car door closed.
But out of the corner of her eye, she saw the orange she had given him last night standing out among the pile of documents.
The cherry wood flooring shop owner lived in a villa in the mountains. He had a stable clientele and didn’t have to worry about orders. Plus, he wasn’t interested in making much money, so he chose to live in Crystalbrook Valley
He alternated between his two villas-one in the mountains and one in Crystalbrook Valley.
Maja got this information from Daly. She didn’t know how to deal with such a boss.
The car jolted a little, and Maja saw the orange about to roll off. She quickly reached out to catch it
At that moment, lan also reached out, and their fingertips touched for a brief moment.
One hand was cold, the other hot.
Maja looked up in surprise and saw lan’s frown. He probably didn’t expect this, either.

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....
