lan’s hand was all bandaged up, and as soon as he stepped into the Raymond Group building, he
bumped into Dana Shepard.
Dana wasn’t her usual rude self, just looking at his hand with a worried expression.
“Mr. Raymond, why did your hand hurt?”
lan just frowned and only replied, “Got hurt.”
He didn’t say much else, just walked into his office
Dana looked a bit miffed, and then a receptionist tried to follow him into his office.
Dana immediately stopped her
“Do you have an appointment? You can’t just go in in here”
The receptionist was quite beautiful. If you can work as a receptionist at the Raymond Group, you must
have outstanding looks.“Ms. Shepard, someone sent a gift for the boss. I came to deliver it.” Dana’s
face turned even sourer as she snatched the gift from the receptionist.

The comment was quite rude, but Dana always walked around the Raymond Group like she owned the
place, and no one dared to talk back.
When the big shots passed by the reception desk, they always greeted the receptionist warmly.
Only Dana, an ordinary employee, looked very proud every time. The employee at the front desk was
offended but only said one thing.
“It was sent by the boss’s designer, claiming to compensate for the loss at the hotel last night.”
At this, Dana looked livid. “What hotel?!” she demanded incredulously.
The receptionist was taken aback by Dana’s sudden raise in volume, but she couldn’t help feeling a bit
smug.
She didn’t actually know the details, but she made up a story on the spot, The boss’s designer spilled
something in the boss’s hotel suite, so she bought cufflinks as compensation. They probably spent the
night in the same suite.”
What she didn’t know was that her made–up story was the truth.
Dana was very angry, and said through gritted teeth: “That vile woman!” She wanted to throw away the
cufflinks in her hand, feeling disgusted. But she didn’t dare to deal with lan’s things casually, so she
turned around angrily and entered the CEO’s office. The receptionist smirked and left.
When Dana entéred, she put on her usual smile again.
“Mr. Raymond, this is a gift from Ms. Penny. She said it was to compensate for last night’s incident at
the hotel.”
She deliberately made her statement sound suggestive, hoping to stir up lan’s dislike for Penny.
lan frowned and took the gift box. Inside was a pair of beautiful cufflinks. They weren’t cheap.
She was drowning in debt and yet she still bought this.
lan tossed the cufflinks aside, clearly not impressed.
“Mr. Raymond, did you and she really…”
“It’s work hours. If you can’t keep your personal life separate, maybe you should consider resigning.”
Dana was quivering with
rage.

That annoying woman!
Absolutely infuriating!
lan worked on some files for a while, then glanced at the cufflinks. He picked them up with a cold
expression and tossed them into a drawer.
Just then, his phone buzzed. It was a message from Maja.
[Mr. Raymond, did you receive the gift?]
lan didn’t reply.
Maja didn’t expect him to. She turned off her phone and poured some water for Neil who was laying in
bed
Neil looked terrible. He knocked over the cup of water Maja brought over.
“Can you explain why you didn’t attend the Raymond family banquet? You said you got off on the way
there because you saw Leo. Are you still in touch with him?!*
The last time Maja admitted she still had contact with Daly, Neil was already pretty upset.
Now he found out Maja missed the Raymond family banquet for such a reason, he was shaking with
anger
“Why are you here?! You piss me off!”
