Chapter 227


    When Maja showed up, she had hitched a ride withn. She had no due how shed get back if he didnt


    stick around.


    So, hearing that, she quickly nodded. “Sure”


    Fannie saw the two of them chatting and sitting way too close for her long, i


    Maja had no choice but to back off.


    barged in, shoving Maja to the side.


    Fannie took the drawing from tan, her nose in the al “We just okay, nothing s Modem Art. I have no

    Her words were sharp and even belittled Maja right in front of her


    Maja had a favor to ask. Felton, so she let

    In the heavy silence, tan picked up the conversation. Penny also graduated from Arcadia School of

    This revtion left Fannie red-faced. She hadn’t expected this woman to be an alumna too


    Her smile became stift, clearly pissed off


    “Tan, what’s the deal? We haven’t seen each other in three years, and you’re taking tome outsider’s


    side?” She whined, shaking his arm,


    all


    Seeing this, Felton chuckled helplessly. “She’s always been this impolite. She’s going to get herself in


    trouble sooner orten, good thing: you’re married. Otherwise, she’dtch onto you and never let


    go.”


    “No, it doesn’t matter whetherr’s mamed or not. If he really liked that woman, he wouldn’t have left


    for three years. If that woman had any sense, she’d divorce him and stop clinging to him”


    Healing this, Maja’s lips twitched. She wasn’t mad, just amused.


    Fannie realized she had crossed the line and deted a bit. “Ah, whatever, far, stick around for dinner


    tonight.”


    Felton had already invitedn to try some wild game, so he agreed.


    “Mr. Felton, sorry for the intrusion.”


    Felton didn’t really want to deal with Fannie anymore. After all, she had been crushing onn for a long


    time.


    “Fannie, go getn and Penny some coffee.”


    Fannie shot Maja a dirty look, reluctantly let go ofn’s arm, and went to make the coffee.


    Fannie came over with the tray and, seeing the two of them sharing the loveseat, got pissed off again.


    But she had just overstepped, so she bit her tongue and set the coffee in front of them.


    The aroma of Blue Mountain coffee filled the air, uplifting everyone’s mood.


    Maja heard him ask “Did you sort out the flooring issue?”


    “Yeah, Mr. Felton promised to let me know as soon as someone cancels their order”


    tan wanted to grab his coffee, and so did Maja.


    Farine’s face had darkened considerably when she brought over the coffees. Normally, she’d ce one


    coffee on the left and one on the right. The person on the left would take the left coffee, and the person


    on the right would take the right coffee


    But Fannie didn’t like Maja, so she set the coffees down one in front of the other


    Right then,n and Maja both reached out for the same coffee, their fingertips brushing against each


    other


    This wasn’t the first time something like this had happened in the past few days


    When their fingers touched, they both froze.


    Maja also found the situation awkward and immediately said, “Mr. Raymond, after you.”


    Fannie was sitting on the couch opposite them, watching everything unfold. She was seething, ready to


    blow her top


    She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she felt odd tension between them. Even though she was


    right there, she feltpletely left out of


    their interaction.
