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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI’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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaja 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.
Maja quickly withdrew her hand and brought up a topic to break the awkward silence, “Mr. Raymond,
how’s your back injury?”
Because she pulled back her hand, the orange fell to the ground.
Aslan bent over to pickup the orange. Maja remembered his injury and that the movement might hurt
his wound. She quickly put a hand on his shoulder.
“Mr. Raymond, let me get it.”
The orange had fallen closer to lan, but considering his injury, Maja decided to pick it up herself. She
squatted, reached out, and her nose inevitably brushed against the fabric of lan’s trousers.
Her breath seeped through the fabric and into his body
But Maja didn’t notice. She was only focused on picking up the orange. As she found it, she let out a
sigh of relief.
She held the orange up in front of lan
