The female shop assistant looked her up and down and said approvingly, “Girl, any style suits you! We
have got to be more open about such things, don’t be shy. You might consider buying two sets. Need
any other accessories?” She picked out two sets..
Maja didn’t have the guts to see what style they were. She quickly stuffed them into her bag, paid via
her phone, and ducked out of the store.
When she got back to her car, her heart was racing. She threw the bag on the passenger seat and took
a deep breath.
After driving back to the hotel, she used her room key to open the door.
She had an hour till eight o’clock, and she needed to take a bath first.
The bath washed away her fatigue.
She dried herself off and opened the white outfit.
When she saw what it looked like, her hand trembled slightly, and she nearly dropped it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHeat surged from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, as if she were about to melt.
After mentally preparing herself for half an hour, she finally put the outfit on.
Her figure blended perfectly with the white outfit.
This kind of sexy outfit/accentuated her figure, making her waist look slim and her legs look long.
She didn’t even dare to look in the mirror for long.
Only after putting on a coat did she dare to go out.
The closer it got to eight, the more nervous she became.
At that moment, lan was called back to the Raymond family by an unexpected call from Holden
Raymond.
He was sitting on the sofa, sipping coffee, reporting the recent developments of the Raymond
Corporation to Holden, when he was asked
“How are things going with Maja? When can I expect my great–grandson?”
Only then did lan think of that woman. If it wasn’t for Holden’s reminder, he would have forgotten about
her.
She had been quite understanding recently, not hanging around and being a nuisance.
“Not bad.”
Holden looked at him skeptically, then asked, “How’s Maja’s father’s condition? Have you contacted the
hospital? What’s the disease? You have time, pay a visit to the Pennyfeather family.”
lan didn’t care about the Pennyfeather family’s news and didn’t know that Neil Pennyfeather was still in
the hospital.
“Didn’t she tell you, we’re working on it?”
“Humph, Maja always covers for you. You’re such a troublemaker, even having an affair. If I ever find
out you’re messing around again, I’ll break your legs. Break up with that Shepard family girl.”
lan calmly took a sip of his coffee, but his eyes glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already 7:40.
“I will break up.”
Holden nodded in satisfaction, “No other women have appeared around you these years. As long as
you treat Maja well, you will love her.”
lan suddenly thought of Maja’s face and thought that the one his grandfather was guarding against was

But when he thought about why Maja had compromised, his face immediately showed a touch of
irritation.
“What, are you still not convinced?”
Holden mistook his discontent for being forced to break up with Carlene, and his face turned cold.
“No, Grandfather, I have something tonight.”
He stood up and picked up his coat..
But Holden had set up a chessboard.
“I have asked Jeff, he said all your meetings for today are over, and you have no plans for tonight.
Accompany me for a game of chess.”
Jan did not tell Jeff about his plans with Maja, so Jeff told Holden that he was free tonight.
A game of chess, at their usual pace, would take at least half an hour.
“Grandfather.”
Holden slammed his hand on the table, his gaze sharp, “Are you in such a hurry because there’s a
woman waiting for you?”
Suppressed by the words, lan lowered his eyes and put his suit back.
“No.”
