NovelEnglishChapter 49
Once Maja got back to her seat, Kurt started to mack her
“You really think splashing a billion would make Mr Raymond look at you?”
Maja found it amusing and decided to ignore him
She knew Kurt was in a foul mood, and the more she talked to him, the happies he was
Kurt was pissed off when Maja gave him the cold shoulder. It was the first time a woman had ever
ignored him
Meanwhile, Dana Shepard, who was standing not far from lan, was provoked by Maja’s performance
She had thought Maja would embarrass herself at the casino, but instead, she stole the show People
around them were all talking about her, some even said they’d hire Maja for their projects…
She was fuming How could this woman be so lucky?
She glared daggers at Maja
Maja, however looked like she was oblivious to everything, returning to her cautious style of play. She
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthad wanted to leave a while ago, but she was winning and didn’t have a good excuse to leave,
especially with Kurt hovering around her
When she saw lan getting up, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She generously pushed the remaining chips towards Kurt, “Mr Gallegos, thanks for bringing me here
tonight. I had a blast,”
These chips were nothing fancy, a dime a dozen in the house.
Kurt’s face turned red, his fingertips started to tremble.
He wanted to lash out, but Maja was already heading towards lan.
With lan there, he had to hold back, nearly losing his cool.
Dana was equally indignant.
She wanted to follow, but after offending lan last time, she dared not act rashly, Instead, she could only
glare at Maja’s receding figure. Maja slowed down, walked up to lan, and politely said, “Mr. Raymond,
I’ll walk out with you. This place is huge, I’m afraid I might get lost.”
Her words were obviously an excuse as the waiters here were professionally trained to escort guests
out.
But for a gentleman like lan to refuse to escort a lady was against his nature, so he just glanced at her
and walked out.
At that moment, his phone buzzed. It was a screenshot from Tyler:
How to tell if someone likes you.
1 She’s always stealing glances at you.
II She always tries to find opportunities to be alone with you.
III She likes to show off her figure.
VShe tries to get your social media, including email.
V To avoid misunderstandings, she will Immediately deny any relationships with other men.”
lan only read the first few, and then turned off the screen, finding It rather boring,
Just then, Maja spoke up.
“I have some ideas about the house design. Mr. Raymond, could you give me your email?”
lan was taken aback, and then gave her a complicated look.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaja didn’t understand why his expression suddenly changed. She was about to ask him when he
casually moved forward.
“Mr. Raymond?”
“Aren’t you married?”
His words took Maja aback. She didn’t know what to say and could only answer subconsciously, “Yes.
lan frowned, thinking if she’s married, she should be living a peaceful life with her husband, without
provoking other men.
And what was the deal with her and Ryan Elston?
“I heard that you and Ryan were together…”
Before he could finish, Maja hurriedly explained, “Mr. Elston gave me a lead on my next job. In return, I
did him a small favor. I didn’t expect it to be meeting his parents, I was nervous as hell.* Maja didn’t
expect lan to know about it.
As she spoke, she seemed to recall her nervousness at the time, subconsciously loosening her tie,
breathing easler, and unintentionally revealing a bit of her collarbone.
Denying relationships with other men, showing off an attractive figure…
Her behavior totally met those five criteria.
She’s really like him
