Chapter 170
“Can you stop worrying about it? They’re my parents, not yours, and you’ve got plenty of issues in your
own house, right? Stop bothering me, I’m leaving.”
“Go ahead, I’ve already called the police. If you leave, that woman will be arrested.”
Leo stopped in his tracks, his face twisting in frustration.
Maja was relentless, “I’ll have someone take you back and I’ll immediately notify your family to pick you
up.”
“You!”
Leo softened his tone.
“Can you leave me alone? I’d rather starve to death than return to that home.”
But Leo’s ent was thick,n could only catch the gist of it, and he wasn’t particrly interested in his
family affairs.
Yet, he didn’t instruct the driver to leave, as the driver was still recovering from the shock.
Maja knewn was still around, she didn’t want to lose herposure in front of him again, so she
made a call.
Soon, a car pulled up, two burly bodyguards got out, grabbed Leo like a chicken, and tied his hands
and feet
Leo didn’t expect Maja to go this far, he wanted to resist, but seeing the muscles on the bodyguards,
he was petrified. What a coward,cking guts.
Maja then made another call, this time to his parents, telling them they’ve found Leo and they should
prepare to pick him up. Daly and Susan were somewhat incredulous, they felt they owed Maja a lot, so
Susan brought up the civil servant again. “Maja, I’ve checked, the guy is really handsome, no bad
habits. When can youe to meet him?”
Maja massaged her forehead absentmindedly, identally meetingn’s gaze.
His profile was sharp and handsome, the faint light from the car roof reflected in his eyes. Maybe the
night breeze wasforting. She didn’t hear Susan’s question, instead she found herself admiring
From his hair to his fingertips, he was like a masterpiece intricately carved by God, the best model for
an artist.
Maja declined Susan, pretending to still be on the call and held her phone up.
“I gotta go.”
In fact, the call had ended a few seconds ago, she opened her camera and snapped a picture ofn’s
current pose.
The moment the sh went off and the distinct sound of the camera shutter echoed, Maja felt the world
go quiet.
So quiet that she wished she could hide in a ‘crack in the ground.
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the window frame, his wrist taut, exuding an elegant fluidity.
He didn’t speak, the chilly atmosphere lingered for a while, a faint smile reflected in his eyes.
Maja’s cheeks started to heat up, she awkwardly changed the subject.
“Mr. Raymond, I won’t disturb you any longer, sorry about earlier. I’ll invite you to dinner sometime,
alright?”
With that said, she practically bolted into her car, stomping on the gas, eager to get as far away as
possible.
Every encounter withn somehow left her speechless!
Once she drove to her newly purchased house in a neighborhood called RosenGarden, a romantic
name that earned it the nickname “rich second generation’s lover district“.
As soon as Maja stepped out of the elevator, intimate noises caught her attention. Ryan and his new
girifriend were making out
at the door.
Maja suspected her luck wasn’t great that day. Retreating back into the elevator seemed inappropriate,
but ignoring them and going into her apartment would be awkward.
Luckily, Ryan was alert. As soon as he noticed someoneing, he let go of Rita.
“Babe, I gotta go, see you tomorrow.”
Rita’s face was as red as a flower, she seemed reluctant to let him go.
Only after Ryan left did Rita greet Maja, rubbing her flushed cheeks.
“Penny, are you free tonight? I’m not feeling great, can we chat?”
Maja wasn’t great at socializing, let alone with Rita whom she barely knew.
Plus, after that embarrassing incident, she just wanted some alone time to think about how she should
behave the next time she seesn.
She was about to decline, but Rita’s next words left her speechless.
“Ryan said you’re his friend, you’re talented and capable, he said I should learn from you.”
Such a string ofpliments left Maja unable to refuse.
