Chapter 395


    “I’m willing to be yourpany.”


    Her voice was filled with joy.


    He was beating around the bush, but his point was clear. He didn’t need herpany.


    Carlene’s face turned pale instantly. She knew that arguing wouldn’t help, so she justforted


    herself.


    “I get it. Is it about the overseas project that needs your personal attention?”


    He sent Maja a message.


    [Let’s head overseas together tomorrow.]


    When Maja received the message, she was at the hospital visiting Nathan. He was insistent on leaving


    the hospital, so she was handling his discharge and preparing to take him home.


    “Don’t you think you should stay in the hospital a bit longer?”


    The injury Nathan had was idental and she felt somewhat guilty.


    “Nah, Penny. It’s just a flesh wound. I just got promoted. I lost Mr. Raymond’s cufflinksst time at work,


    and Mr. Judson wasn’t too happy about it. So, I got to step up my game.”


    His face was badly swollen, but he still gave her the money back.


    “Here’s the rest of the money.”


    “Nathan, just take it.”


    Nathan hesitated a bit. He was broke and fond of money. This money would improve his life and help


    him get a girlfriend.


    Eventually, he epted it.


    Maja drove Nathan home.


    Nathan’s home was in a remote area, dimmer than the city center.


    Maja saw a little girl waiting for Nathan at his doorstep. The girl was on crutches, probably his little


    sister.


    When Nathan got out of the car, the little girl started to cry seeing his face.


    He picked her up tofort her.


    That’s when Maja sawn’s message.


    He wanted her to go abroad with him!


    She bit her lip nervously and then replied to him.


    [Mr. Raymond, I don’t recall being your secretary.]


    She still owed him eight services, but that did not include going abroad with him.


    Seeing the message,n’s face darkened, and the atmosphere around him became frosty.


    Carlene was still waiting in front of him, feeling his gaze bing sharp.


    She quickly seized the opportunity to speak.


    n, are you sure you’re not going to the auction? It’s a big one this time. Maybe there will be


    something Edith likes.”


    ‘I’ll go.”


    “Can I tag along?”


    “Fine.”


    He sounded indifferent and a bit impatient. He closed the chat window with Maja.


    Carlene got the answer she wanted and quickly left.

    And the little girl in Nathan’s arms was still crying.


    Seeingn’s call, Maja stiffened. After answering, she heard his voice.


    “Are you with your husband?”


    His question sounded casual.


    But Maja felt a sense of danger from it, and she quickly denied it.


    “No.”


    But as soon as she finished, Nathan spoke.


    “Penny.”

    “Mr. Raymond, I


    Before she could finish, the little girl’s crying came over again.


    Nathanforted her, “Don’t cry, look, I’m fine. Stop crying.”


    Maja quickly started the car, gave Nathan a slight nod as a farewell, drove a distance away, and then


    asked again.


    “Mr. Raymond, do you need me tonight?“.


    By now, her surroundings were very quiet.


    Maja didn’t dare to hang up casually.


    “Penny, do you have kids?”


    His tone was a bit vague and dreamy.


    “No.”


    But speaking of kids, he suddenly realized that every time he was intimate with her, they didn’t take any


    protection. “Mr. Raymond, if you’re worried about me getting pregnant, you don’t need to. I always


    remember to take the pill.”


    Maja misunderstood, thinkingn was worried about her getting pregnant and then using the child to


    elevate her status.


    She had just finished when he chuckled, his tone cold.


    “You sure know how to y it safe.”
