Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43 

Dana didn’t expect to bump into Maja here, her eyes seemingly aflame with anger. 

Because of Maja, Dana had previously made a fool of herself in front of lan, and she was just thinking about how to win back his favor But before she could make her move, Maja showed up again Maja ignored her and turned to lan with polite attitude. 

“Mr. Raymond, could I borrow some chips from you? I’ll pay you back double.” 

Everyone watching was surprised. Sure, there were many women trying to get close to lan tonight, but he’d been pretty aloof, seemingly uninterested in anything. 

Now here was Maja striking up a conversation with him in front of everyone, which was quite unexpected. 

If she was single, her intention of getting close to lan was clear. 

But she’d already mentioned that she was married. A married woman asking lan for a loan? 

That was a rather silly way to attract attention. 

lan was taken aback by Maja’s request and before he could react, Tyler from beside him pushed forward half of his chips. His eyes remained gentle, but there was a hint of mockery in his gaze. Like the other onlookers, he thought Maja’s way of attracting lan’s attention was tacky. 

So tacky that it was cringeworthy. 

*Sounds like a good deal to me, Ms. Penny. You don’t mind borrowing my chips, do you?” 

Maja had decided to ask lan for a loan only after considering her options. She didn’t know anyone else at the table very well, and she was planning to work with lan in the future. 

But since someone was willing to lend her the chips, she accepted graciously, “Thank you.” 

Tyler didn’t look at her but just gave her a slight smile. 

Everyone knew that Tyler did this because he didn’t want her to use this opportunity to disturb lan 

But Maja didn’t care. She got the chips and then looked at the dealer. 

The dealer immediately smiled, “Now that everyone is ready, let’s begin…” 

“Hold up.” 

Kurt Interrupted the dealing. “Let’s play no–limit today, shall we?” 

This was a Texas Hold’em table. No–limit meant there was no maximum bet. It was possible to go broke overnight, but it was also possible to make a fortune. 

Once, someone played no–limit here and lost ten billion in one go. He supposedly committed suicide after leaving and his body hasn’t been found to date. 

Kurt was the sole heir to Summit Bank and he had money. Everyone else at the table, except Maja, were super–rich second–generation kids who could afford to play. Suddenly, all eyes were on Maja, as if hinting that she should back off. 

Kurt was smiling. It seemed like he was determined to embarrass her, “Penny, have you ever played no–limit before?” 

Maja’s expression remained calm. She asked seriously, “What’s no–limit?” 

Kurt’s face froze. This woman didn’t even know what no–limit was? 

He gritted his teeth, suddenly feeling like a clown who had put on a show for himself. 

“There’s no limit to the amount you can bet. We usually start our bets in the millions. Can you handle that?” 

Maja glanced at the chips in her hand and couldn’t help but ask, “So, how much are these chips worth?”
