Chapter 10


    Maya sat down in the rest area by the window and quickly typed out a reply


    |Can I meet him in person first?]


    She was right outside Raymond Town, ready to meetn if he was willing


    Thewyers said they would negotiate them they stopped responding.


    At the top of the bulking.


    The man sitting behind a ck marble desk was looking down at some documents.


    Jeff walked in, “Mr. Raymond, Ms. Pennyfeather would like to see you.”


    Ian Mfted his gaze from the papers briefly. His tone was indifferent, obviously not in the mood to chal


    “No.”


    It was clearly a tactic to avoid divorce Did she think a meeting could change anything? She was being


    overly confident


    He frowned, his voice cold and heavy. “Have thewyers send the divorce agreement to the Penny


    feather family. Let’s see if she’ll sign.”


    Jeff nodded, not going into too much detail about the firstdy’s affairs, and confirmed the schedule,


    “Reyes Gallegos, the president of Summit Bank, has arranged to meet you at the golf course this


    afternoon. We can head out now.”


    As the time ticked by several people arrived where Maja was seated–both men and women, all formally


    dressed.


    She sat quietly on the side, like a beautiful painting, until the phone rang. It was the Pennyfeather


    family.


    Neils tone was unusually frantic


    “Maja what’s happening? Why doesn suddenly want a divorce? Did something happen between you


    two? You shoulde home so we can talk.”


    Majapaused before replying, “Dad, you know he’s been abroad for three years after we got married.


    What else could it be about?”


    Neil was so anxious he was practically frothing at the mouth, “Maja, we can’t divorce now. Our family is


    in a tough spot. We’re about to start a second round of financing. If we divorce now, our stocks will


    definitely be affected. The shareholders might even pull out.” Cristina’s voice could be heard in the


    background.


    Tve always said she’s not on your side. We can’t rely on her. If she’d tried harder wouldn have had


    thewyers send the divorce papers right to our home? We’re aughing stock now!”


    Neil fell silent for a moment before quietly saying. “I’m doing this for your own good, Maja. It’s hard for a


    divorced woman to remarry. Let’s go find Holden. He’s always been fond of you…”


    Maja felt a lump in her throat. Was he doing this for het or for thepany? Or for Cristina’s family?


    But she couldn’t ask.


    She remembered how, after her mother died, Neil would bring her to every meeting, fearing she would


    have an ident. She told him Holden was abroad for treatment and hadn’t returned yet, then quickly


    ended the call


    Ian had already had thewyers send the divorce agreement to her family. It seemed thewyer’s


    negotiations with him had failed. He wasn’t willing to meet with her


    He really did despise her his own wife.


    Since he’d made his stance clear there was no point in her waiting around to get insulted


    Maja was feeling a bit down. She bumped her knee getting into the car, and it was only then that she


    noticed the new message from Maxwell


    [Have you mel Kurt Gallegos, the son of the Summit Bank’s president, before“]


    Maja did remember this man, but she’d been busy selecting materials for another clent at the time, so


    she’d forgotten about it.


    Maxwell told her that Kurt had already scheduled a meeting at the studio. He was currently at the golf


    course and was especially fond of her designs


    Maja asked for the exact address, and then drove there.


    The golf course was located in the suburbs, covering several thousand acres.


    When Maja arrived, someone came out to greet her–it was Kurt’s assistant


    “Ms. Pennyfeather nice to meet you.


    The assistant was all smiles, very polite, Please, follow me.”


    She followed the assistant and found herself in a changing room.


    The assistant exined. The golf course needs to be maintained, so only yers and caddies are


    allowed on it. I’ve prepared a golf club for you Do you y golf?”


    “I do, but I’m not very good.“,


    “That’s fine. You can change into some clothes, they’re waiting for you on the course”


    Majanodded. In the past she’d yed tennis and gone fishing with clients to secure orders. ying golf


    was nothing to her


    The assistant had prepared a white sporty miniskirt and a matching hairband. Maja tied her long hair


    into a ponytail picked up the club bag, and walked out


    Just as she was looking out at the golf course from the lobby, she turned around and saw a tall man


    surrounded by a group of people He had an extraordinary aura, exuding a cold and intimidating


    presence. Maja froze in her tracks. Son was here too.


    She was standing in the most conspicuous position. It would be hard not to be noticed.


    She stood tall her ponytail high, radialing youthful energy. Her legs were long and straight under the


    miniskirt. A red mark on her knee was particrly noticeable
