He didn't dare to ask more, so he called Maja back, saying he would pick up Rocky in the evening.
Maja took a moment to process this, then replied, "Alright."
Nothing else was said.
She rested at the Rosewood Manor until late afternoon, and just as promised, Jeff showed up.
Maja intended to leash Rocky to make it easier for Jeff to lead it away but found out that all of the dog leashes at home were too small. Rocky was just too robust for them.
"Jeff, I'll have someone run to the store and buy a larger leash."
Jeff had no choice but to wait.
Maja sent a bodyguard to the store, who returned in twenty minutes with the largest leash available. But even this turned out to be too small for Rocky.
Moreover, Rocky didn't seem to listen to Jeff. Jeff tried to get it into the car, but it just swished its tail and ran off to wreak havoc in the garden.
Maja was at a loss and shouted, "Rocky!"
Rocky, who had only recently been named, didn't respond well to her calls.
The more Maja called, the further Rocky ran.
Jeff had no choice but to call Ian, who was still working overtime.
"Mr. Raymond, Rocky is not behaving."
"Then let it stay there."
Jeff found this strange. Had Mr. Raymond foreseen all this?
After all, if he could predict who would betray the Raymond Corporation, he should be able to handle a pet, right?
Jeff smirked, finding Ian's personality rather quirky.
After hanging up the phone, he turned to Maja.
"Miss Pennyfeather, Mr. Raymond suggests we let Rocky stay here. He's quite busy."
At this point, Maja was out of options. Even if they wanted Rocky to leave, no one could catch it.
She wanted to ask about Ian's health and whether his previous injuries had fully healed.
But Jeff left too quickly, seemingly reluctant to engage in further conversation.
By noon, news about a wealthy woman had broken out. Since it involved several male celebrities, the news swept the top ten trending topics. Almost everyone in the country was discussing it.
Gossip was human nature.
Everyone who cared about gossip began to speculate about the identity of the wealthy woman.
Zoey's account only posted a blurry screenshot. The only clear thing was the face of a popular male star.
Upon seeing the screenshot, Funfly's brows furrowed. She quickly instructed her PR team to take action.
Soon, several entertainment accounts claimed that the wealthy woman was Maja from Star Movie Group.
There had been rumors before that Maja was too close to male stars and even tried to force Shawn.
[No way, Star Movie Group isn't that big of a company. This male star is quite famous. What resources did Maja use to attract him?]
[Absurd, the picture is so blurry, but you can still tell she's a plump woman.]
[Ah, how disgusting! Stay away from Shawn. With your lifestyle, you'll get sick sooner or later.]
[Didn't they also say she's flirting with Ian? Oh my God, doesn't Mr. Raymond himself feel disgusted?]

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....
