    Standing behindn. Jeff was about to remind him about the forgotten meeting, but when he saw Maids

    face he swallowed his words


    Is this the womanst night? What’s going on between her andn


    As the elevator doors opened, Maya gestured for them to enter first.


    Without hesitation,n instructed Jeff to head to thepany first and then stepped into the elevator


    himself.


    The breakfast area on the first floor was already bustling with people. Maja andn chose a spot by the


    window, and a waller promptly brought each a ss of lemon water


    Maja took a sip of the lemon water its tangtness awakening her taste buds and alleviating her


    dizziness. She figured she could have breakfast first before going to the hospital. Fairiting from low


    blood sugar on the way would lie less than ideal


    Setting down her ss, she askedn, Mr. Raymond, what kind of books do you usually enjoy


    reading? I heard from Mr. Elston that you took some art sses before?”


    Understanding acients style preferences and daily habits could expedite the design process. She


    summised thatn might not favor the American style–too busy and shy in color. On the other hand,


    the Chinese style could be deemed too conservative and dull. Art lovers often preferred something


    more daring


    She hoped to gain insights into his preferences through this brief conversation, butn said; “Just do


    your thing.


    Maa dreaded clients like this–it felt like writing a school essay without a specific topic. Too many


    choices often led to confusion. Conversely, having a precise issue simplified things as the scope was


    defined


    “Just do my thing?” Maja mentally sketched out some basic design styles when a woman’s shrek cut


    through the air


    “Jan”


    Maatumed to see a young woman in a Chanel suit approaching, her eyes fixed onn with her


    exquisite makeup.


    Tve been hanging around here for days, hoping to run into you.”


    The woman, Sandy, appeared thrilled. Her gaze flickered towards Maja, but her eyebrows slightly


    furrowed.


    “And who might this be?”


    Majawas about to mention thatn was her client, but before she could utter a word, Sandy had already


    seated hersell, acting like Maja didn’t exist, and resumed conversing withn. Theard your ce in


    Greenfield Gardens is undergoing renovations?”


    Sandy smiled, a slight curl appearing on her lips. “I remember how much you loved theyout of


    Greenfield Gardens, happen to know a fabulous designer


    Evidently, she was attempting to winn’s favor by offering to connect him with a designer.


    But before she could finish, Maja smiled, “Apologies for interrupting, but Mr. Raymond is current


    Sandy’s gaze returned to Maja her lips lightening. “You’re a designer as well?


    my


    ‘re interested.


    Her disdain was palpable as if she believed Maja was trying to get close ton


    Yes, and I must say my conversation with Mr. Raymond has been quite enjoyable.”


    Enjoyable conversation? The fact that they were seen together at breakfast in the hotel raised qu


    sbons about what they might have been up to the previous night. Sandy’s expression changed with


    that though assuming that Maja was boasting. How crude Sandy had initially nned to ignore Maja


    hoping she would feel ufortable and leave alone. However it appeared that Maja was more


    capable than expected.

    Taking a deep breath, Sandy deliberately brought upn’s marriage.


    “Man must have his reasons for choosing you, so I hope you give it your all. Don’t disap


    int him


    his marriage to deter other women.


    True to form, Sandy’s following words cut to the chase


    “You are aware thatn is mamed, right?”


    The implication was clear. Are you trying to be a homewrecker?
