Chapter 266


    Maja’s brows knitted together like she was in a heated phone call. It seemed like she was dealing with


    some kind of problem.


    A crowd had gathered around the bar behind her, cops weaving through them, asionally stopping


    anyone attempting to snap a picture.


    The bar was cordoned off.


    Jeff hadn’t expected the question but made a call to find out.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    A minuteter, he hung up and answeredn.


    “There was a homicide. Someone died of alcohol intoxication on the spot.”


    But what’s this got to do with Penny? Why was she here?


    Tyler had been sitting next ton, noticing how he’d stopped working and began staring out the window


    when Penny’s name was mentioned.


    Maja was on the phone with a hospital and was clueless thatn’s car was parked right before her.


    at the bar entrance.


    He looked away, his face impassive.


    “Let’s hit the road; we have a meeting to attend.”


    Tyler had thoughtn had a soft spot for Penny, given their past intimacy and that time he’d kissed her


    in front of everyone.


    Compared to his wholesome rtionship with Carlene, his rtionship with Maja was clearly more


    ambiguous.


    However, despite knowing that Maja might be in trouble, he seemed indifferent.


    Tyler chuckled and looked away.


    n, I’ve always been curious. Did you ever reminisce about that night with Penny?”


    stopped.


    As they drove past Tyler’s mansion,n’s voice was cold, “Get out.”


    Tyler shrugged, still joking as he got out of the car.


    “You’re not a little boy anymore; can’t handle a little adult talk? They say once a man tastes the joys of


    love, he’s hooked. As a workaholic like you, once you’ve tasted a woman, can you really go back to


    burying yourself in work?”


    All Tyler got in response was the sound of the car door closing.


    Jeff, in the front, pretended not to hear Tyler’s words. Tyler was a scriptwriter; he was always frank


    about love affairs, even more direct than most.


    Or to be more urate, he was forthright.


    After all, most men talked about women, just like Tyler.


    If the woman didn’te from a prominent family, she’d be in for a rough time.


    Men could be ruthless to the women they no longer loved but who still loved them.


    In the business world, many have lost their humanity to adapt to the trends of the times.


    Moreover, women’s standing in business was far from equal to men’s. As harsh as it sounds, it’s the


    reality.


    During his three years overseas, especially his time on Wall Street,n witnessed the bullying of


    women in the workce.


    Age, marital status, and even refusing inappropriate advances could be used as reasons to deny a


    woman a job.


    The car became quiet, hisptop still sitting on hisp.


    He’d stopped browsing, and theptop had gone into sleep mode.


    In this peaceful atmosphere, he could feel something unusual about himself.


    Tyler’s question had brought his thoughts back to that night.


    Or maybe not that night, but the time she’d been wearing a nightgown, exposing arge expanse of


    smooth skin.


    And that tempting chest hidden under the fabric threatened to overturn his sanity.
