Chapter 226


    “So you’reing to me now because you didn’t reserve the cherry wood flooring in advance, huh? I


    really like you, and I’d love to keep some aside for Herbert’s sake. But you know our cherry wood


    flooring must be booked three years in advance. It’s a tough spot for me to hold some for you


    suddenly.”


    Felton said this very seriously, causing Maja to chuckle softly.


    “I heard there were cases where customers miscalcted their reservation dates or had issues with


    their orders, leading to forced returns. I’m not asking you to give me someone else’s order, but what if


    there’s a return? Could you give me that order? I’d pay a high price.”


    Hearing this, Felton didn’t hesitate.


    “What’s your name?”


    “You can call me Penny. That’s what my old teacher used to call me.”


    Felton chuckled, “Since you’re his student, I’ll help you out. But stick around and paint me something,


    and I’ll contact you first if anyone cancels their order.”


    “Then, thank you in advance.”


    The painting Felton asked for wasn’tplicated. Someone had already done half of it, but for some


    reason, they stopped. Maja struggled to pick it up without understanding the original creator’s ideas.


    But her thoughts were as rich as a tide, adding some interactive elements to the otherwise nd


    content, making the paintinge alive. Three hours had passed by the time she finished. A servant


    had brought her coffee during this time.


    Felton’s coffee choice was quite exquisite, top-grade Blue Mountain coffee.


    Just as Maja was about to take it, a girl’s voice came from outside.


    “Dad, wasn’tn supposed toe today? I’ve been waiting all morning, why hasn’t he arrived yet!”


    Maja’s hand froze. She looked towards the source of the voice and saw a very well-dressed girl, about


    twenty years old, approaching from outside.


    The girl saw Maja, then looked at the painting, and her face showed anger.


    “How dare you touch other people’s things? So rude!”


    She marched over, intending to snatch the paper.


    Felton said. “You’re the rude one. I asked Penny to paint it. This paper has been here for a month. It


    was originally a test for you, but you’ve been gallivanting around Greenfield every day and haven’t


    even started!”


    “I did start! I tried a few times, but you were never satisfied!”


    Maja quickly realized that the original content of the painting was a test designed to test the painter’s


    imagination


    She graduated from the Arcadia School of Modern Art and had previously encountered such topics in


    ss.


    The girl gave Maja a look and snorted, “Show-off. I also got into the Arcadia School of Modern Art, and


    myst painting was even exhibited at the school”


    Maja nced at her, she was probably not from Connie Raymond’s ss but possibly older.


    Felton rubbed his forehead in exasperation.


    “Look how she paints. I showed this to your teacher, and she gave it full marks right away.”


    “That’s impossible! Our teacher is always stingy with marks, she never gives full marks. Is she a


    rtive of the teacher?”


    Fannie retorted but then heard a sound from outside, and her eyes immediately lit up.


    “Dad,n’s here!”


    Felton sighed, hearing Fannie’s coquettish voice from outside.


    tan, it’s been so long since you’vee to see my dad!”


    Once inside,n was surprised to see Maja still there. Business discussions shouldn’t take this long.


    Either Felton would refuse outright, or Maja would tell him thatn’s house needed the flooring, and


    Felton would agree. Either way, their conversation should have ended quickly.


    Fannie had already hooked her arm throughn’s, looking up at him with a smile.


    “I’ve been waiting for you all day.”


    “Long time no see, Mr. Felton.”


    Felton looked atn, pped him on the shoulder with a smile, and said.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    “You’ve been off the radar for threey years.”


    It seemed that ever sincen chose to leave the country due to that marriage three years ago, he


    hadn’t been here.


    Maja couldn’t figure out the rtionship between the Raymond family and Felton for a moment. Felton


    might know Holden so thatn would know him.


    Fannie chimed in.


    “If it were me, I’d also choose to leave. Marrying a woman you have no idea about, I really don’t know


    what Holden was thinking”


    Felton nced at her, “Don’t talk nonsense about other people’s private affairs,n, have a seat. Some


    of Herbert’s students are here, you can meet them all young and promising”


    As the other party in the marriage, Maja felt somewhat neglected at this moment.
