Chapter 993
Zoey stood rooted to the spot, unsure of what to do next.
After a few minutes, she noticed the woman emerging from the elevator once again, carrying a takeaway box and
heading in her direction.
When Judith reached the reception, she asked briskly, “Isn’t lan in the office today?”
“Ms. Sanders, Mr. Raymond is out for a business engagement.”
Judith nodded and turned her gaze toward Zoey and then asked, “Aren’t you Maja’s assistant?”
Having done her research about Maja, she knew who was in her circle.
Especially Zoey, Maja’s right–hand woman.

It hit Zoey then, that was the princess of the Sanders family, the rumored girlfriend of lan.

She hastily tried to leave, only to hear Judith say, “So, now that Maja can’t reach lan, she sent you to bother him? A
CEO stooping so low! lan doesn’t want any entanglement with her, why can’t she take the hint?”
Zoey’s fingertips clenched at her sides, the innocent tone of the woman fueled her frustration.
She gritted her teeth.

“Haven’t I already told Maja? She’s out of the game, so none of you from the company should come here
anymore.”
“Ms. Sanders, this is Mr. Raymond’s company, not the Sanders family’s. I don’t really need your permission to be
here.”
Judith chuckled, looking Zoey up and down.
“No wonder Maja chose you as her assistant, both of you have sharp tongues. But it’s a pity, neither of you is
competent. You can’t even reach the top, what’s there to boast about?”
With that, she waved at the receptionist, swinging her skirt as she left them behind.
Zoey was left standing there, fuming at the manipulative woman.
Yet, she couldn’t deny the power of her background!
Zoey walked ahead, thinking of who could help her out at that crucial time. Then, she thought of Maria from
Rosewood Manor.
Ms. Pennyfeather had some acquaintances at Rosewood Manor, they could investigate!

Zoey slapped her forehead lightly, and quickly headed toward’s Rosewood Manor.
Meanwhile, in a hotel suite.
Maja had arranged to meet a director there, but he had waited for an hour without her showing up or even giving
him a call to inform him about her cause of delay.
He had directed several blockbuster movies and wasn’t keen on signing with any company. He had come because
of his trust in Star Movie Group.
Several people had praised Maja and he had heard about the working conditions at Star Movie Group. Even
Meetman said that Maja was a good CEO.
But at that moment, she stood him up!
The director was furious, he stood up and called Maja herself, but no one answered!
After waiting for an hour, with no call, he felt that all the praises were actually lies.
Fuming, he stormed out only to run into another group in the corridor.
He recognized the man in the middle, lan, the CEO of the Raymond Corporation.
lan was accompanied by several producers.
The Raymond Corporation had been expanding its entertainment projects for the past six months, probably
planning a major film.
The director knew the producers and exchanged pleasantries:
When asked why he was there alone, he looked a bit upset..
“Ms. Pennyfeather of Star Movie Group scheduled a meeting with me. I heard that she’s competent, but she’s an

The other producers, not being part of the Greenfield elite, hadn’t heard the gossip about lan and Maja, so they
made light conversation.
“Isn’t the CEO a woman? They aren’t suited for business.”
“Yeah, she’s probably at home, putting on makeup. Hahaha.”
The men joked harmlessly, then opened the door to a suite, respectfully inviting lan, “Mr. Raymond, please.”
But lan didn’t enter, he spoke in a flat tone, “No need.”
The producers‘ faces changed, looking uneasy, “What’s wrong, Mr. Raymond? Did we do something wrong?”
lan had already turned around, his face cold as he explained, “When you’ve changed your sexist attitudes, we’ll
talk.”
The producers stood there, humiliated and red–faced, unsure about what they said that upset him.
When lan stepped into the elevator, the director also entered, standing nervously in a corner. He had just seen lan
give the top producers a piece of his mind and assumed that he must have a bad temper.
lan slightly raised his head, meeting the director’s gaze through the reflective mirror.
The director quickly lowered his gaze, only to hear him ask, “Maja was an hour late?”
“Yes, I called her, but she didn’t answer”
