Chapter 624


    Maureen’s eyes turned colder as she glumly stared at Maja as if Maja was some scheming vixen trying


    to seducen.


    “Penny, would you mind stepping out for a second? I need a moment withn.”


    Maja got up immediately and without any hesitation, headed for the door.


    But before she could even close the door behind her, she heard Maureen questioningn.


    “So, are you serious about this designer? What are you nning to do about you and Ms. Sanders‘


    situation?”


    Sanders.


    But he barely knew her.


    n, I saw Beck yesterday and he let slip about you and Ms. Sanders constantly exchanging


    messages. She’s the darling of the Sanders family. You can’t treat her the same way you treat Maja.


    The Sanders won’t let you off.”


    By the time Maja heard that, she had already shut the door.


    She was there onn’s birthday; Beck had indeed said something to that effect.


    The Sanders was a well–known high society family in North America, their beloved princess indeed


    deserved better.


    Maja stood outside, unable to hear the conversation inside due to the soundproofing.


    “I have a meeting to attend soon.”


    After denying his rtionship with Ms. Sanders a few times,n leaned back in his chair and gestured


    for Maureen to leave..


    n, you need to take a good look at the woman you have by your side. She’s far from innocent, she’d


    rather divorce and follow you, just for your wealth and


    status.”


    “I have to head to Silverstone Enterprises after the meeting.”


    Seeing his resolution, Maureen was so exasperated she didn’t know what to say.


    After leaving the office, she red furiously at Maja.


    Maja stood at a distance, watching as Maureen approached her.


    Maureen raised her hand to p her, but Maja acted quickly to catch her wrist just in time.


    People around them turned to look, the upper–level employees all knew that Maureen wasn’s aunt,


    she often visited the Raymond Corporation.


    Everyone was enjoying the spectacle, gossiping about Maureen’s fury.


    “Looks like Penny is a real vixen.”


    “Mrs. Maureen is usually pretty chill, she must have been driven to the edge.”


    Maureen pulled her hand back, giving Maja a cold stare.


    “How long do you think you can stay by his side? Ifn’s just looking for a fresh face, that’s fine. But if


    you’re thinking of joining the Raymond family, you may as well wait for your next life.”


    Maja felt a pang of sadness, after all, Maureen had been kind to her in the beginning, had helped her a


    lot. Now, Maureen despised her just like Selena.


    She opened her mouth but found herself unable to argue with her.


    She neededn’s help, so she had to agree to his terms.


    So, faced with Maureen’s usations, all Maja could do was nod, saying, “Goodbye, Mrs. Maureen.”


    Maureen’s pupils narrowed, and she stormed off.


    Maja stood still, feeling everyone’s eyes on her and sighed.


    When she entered the office again, she sawn hanging up the phone, she had no idea who he was


    talking to.


    “Mr. Raymond, shall we head to Silverstone Enterprises?”


    the way.


    Enterprises.


    What Maja didn’t expect was to find Nathan in the conference room at Silverstone Enterprises.


    Wasn’t Nathan supposed to be at Crystalbrook Valley?


    And to her surprise the person to greet her andn was none other than Nathan.


    At that moment,n sat by the window, Maja by his side, and Nathan brought in two cups of water.


    When Maja’s eyes met his, there was a hint of surprise.


    Nathan gave her a little smile and ced the cups of water on the table, saying,


    “Mr. Raymond, Penny, why don’t you have some water? Mr. Judson will be here soon.”


    With that, Nathan was about to leave the room.


    It was then thatn said, “I’d prefer a cup of coffee.”


    Nathan immediately turned back, but Maja pushed the cup of water towardsn.


    “You haven’t had breakfast yet; we’ll eat after the meeting. Drinking coffee on an empty stomach might


    upset it.”

    Jan just wanted an excuse to keep Nathan around a bit longer. Hearing Maja’s concern, he couldn’t


    help but smile, feeling a bit better.


    “But I still want coffee.”


    Maja pulled out a breakfast biscuit from her bag, “Why don’t you eat this first?”


    She had prepared it specially, to be apetent secretary, she always had to be ready for anything.


    Her ex–husband was right here, and she was doing this without any hesitation..


    Maja was afraid thatn wouldn’t eat the things she had prepared, so she also bought the most


    expensive items from the supermarket.


    But no matter how expensive, in his hands, it still seemed too cheap.
