Chapter 236


    Fannie couldn’t make out the specific words shing on the screen, but she vaguely saw it was in a


    foreignnguage..


    n, aren’t you gonna answer that?”


    “It’s a spam call.”


    “Oh.”


    Fannie was a bit skeptical, it was clearly a saved contact. But the other bigwigs at the table were busy


    clinking sses withn at the moment.


    “Mr. Raymond, give it a go. This is homemade wine by the chef, the gripes are from the south of


    Crystalbrook Valley”


    The atmosphere was great, everyone was discussing the project. Fannie, however, felt thatn seemed


    a bit more careless than before. He had downed several sses of wine, loosened up a couple of


    buttons, and briefly introduced a few new aspects of the project. The bosses didn’t raise any objections


    and even proposed additional benefits.


    Halfway through the meal,n got up to use the bathroom in the vi. Since the dining area was on the


    first floor, so was the bathroom. As he turned in, he noticed the person standing at the bathroom door


    and raised an eyebrow.


    Maja quickly exined that she wasn’t intentionally waiting there; she was originally at the vi


    entrance.


    There were servants moving flowerpots at the entrance, and she helped them move them in, allowing


    her toe in and go to the bathroom


    The restroom here was unisex, so she was standing at the door just asn was about to enter.


    “Mr. Raymond


    turned on the tap, and slowly washed his hands. Because he was bending over, his wrist was

    exposed.


    Maja was standing behind him, and seeing his indifference, she hesitated to speak.


    Only after he finished washing his hands and took a paper towel from the side to dry them, did he turn


    to look at her.


    “Is there something you need?”


    At this point, it was impossible for Maja to back down. “Mr. Raymond, one of the bosses who was


    drinking with you. My cousin, he has had some conflict with his son. Could you mediate for us in front


    of him?”


    After Maja finished speaking, she felt a bit uncertain. Because she could feel that, sincest night,n


    had be much colder.


    “Penny.” Sure enough, he spoke without expression, “What’s our rtionship?”


    His voice was low and slow, as he adjusted his grey suit sleeve while speaking.


    “What makes you think I can keep helping you out?” His words clearly indicated that she had


    overstepped.


    Maja lowered her eyes, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Perhaps because she knew this man was her


    nominal husband, they had spent one night together, shared three kisses, and she had the illusion that


    she could ask him for favors.


    Butn’s words snapped her back to reality.


    “I’m sorry, Mr. Raymond, I overstepped.” She smiled and looked him in the eye without flinching “We’re


    just interior designer and homeowner. I’ve always kept that in mind.”


    Maja felt the chill emanating from him intensify, probably not wanting to see herself, so she obediently


    backed away


    “It’s gettingte, I won’t bother you anymore.”


    With that, she turned and left without hesitation.


    The banquet was still going on, and everyone was a bit tipsy. Fannie felt that after returning from the


    restroom,n’s mood seemed to have worsened.
