Chapter 524

Despite knowing the tablecloth was hiding the situation from the others, Maja felt really awkward.

Her one hand was injured, and the other was busy with a spoon and soup, leaving her defenseless against lan.

She had previously spilled wine all over him, embarrassing him in front of everyone. He sure wouldn’t let her off the

hook, so he was out for payback.now.

Maja gripped her spoon tightly, unable to swallow any more soup, fearing that someone would notice what was

happening under the table.

Across the table, Nathan noticed her flushed face and quickly asked, “Maja, are you running a fever? Your face is all

red.”

Maja shook her head, biting her lip.

lan was sitting on her right, his right hand also dealing with soup, his left hand resting on her leg.

From a distance, both looked perfectly normal, except for Maja’s excessively flushed face.

lan frowned as he sipped his soup.

His tongue hurt like hell.

Maja’s bite had really stung, and the hot soup only made it worse.

He casually pinched her leg and leaned back, then asked Nathan, “Have you wrapped up things at Crystalbrook

Valley yet?”

Nathan, surprised that lan would ask him, quickly replied, “Not yet, but they don’t need me there for the next few

days. I might head there the day after tomorrow.” “Must be exhausting dealing with the construction crew, huh?”

lan’s tone was calm, his hand still resting on Maja’s leg.

Nathan responded as if answering a superior’s question, his demeanor formal: “It’s fine; the people actually

working on–site are too busy to socialize.”

lan arched an eyebrow, his finger moving further up Maja’s thigh.

“I’ve heard that many construction workers, due to being away from home for long periods, tend to cheat. There’s

even a term for it: ‘construction couples, satisfying each other’s needs on–site, then going home to play the good

husband.”

Nathan felt awkward. While he could handle workplace issues, discussing these matters with a high–ranking CEO

made him uncomfortable.

Although what lan said was true, men on construction sites, away from home for long periods, sometimes found

women to satisfy their needs.

The phenomenon of ‘construction couples‘ did exist; if there happened to be a woman on–site, the two would often

satisfy each other’s needs.

This type of relationship was usually kept secret, short–lived, and thrilling.

“Nathan, you’re quite a looker. You wouldn’t cheat on your wife now, would you?”

Maja caught on that lan was deliberately making Nathan uncomfortable.

Just as she was about to speak up for Nathan, the hand on her leg suddenly found a spot and squeezed. Startled,

her hand shook, and she sensed someone standing up behind her, probably done with their meal. Afraid that what

was happening under the table would be discovered and humiliate her, she quickly stood up. “I need to use the

restroom.”

With her heart pounding, Maja paid no attention to the other three and made a beeline for the restroom.

But in reality, she didn’t head for the restroom because this wasn’t a high-end hotel and the restroom, used by

many, wasn’t clean enough.

She went out to the garden for some fresh air, feeling a little suffocated. She even took out her phone, intending to

text Nathan to say she wouldn’t be coming back.

But just as she took out her phone, a long, good–looking hand appeared behind her.

That very hand had been teasing her under the tablecloth in front of everyone earlier. “Give it back to me,” Maja

said to him.

lan glanced at her phone, noticing she had two SIM cards. His eyebrows raised slightly. “Surely, you didn’t give me

your work number, did you?”
