Chapter 709


    Maja’s eyes were deep and thoughtful just as the elevator doors slid open.


    Murray, with his arm around thedy’s waist, said, “We’re at the top floor now. We might run into the


    big boss of thispany. Brace yourself. We’re just here to deliver lunch, then we’re out of here.”


    Zoey’s workstation was right on this floor. At this moment, all eyes on the floor were on them since it


    was break time.

    Thedy cooled down, vented a fewints, and followed behind Murray.


    Zoey spotted Murray right away and hurried over.


    “Murray.”


    Just as Murray was about to respond, Zoey turned to Maja.


    “Mr. Pennyfeather, I’ve put the documents you need for the afternoon on the conference room table.


    Once you’ve reviewed them, I’ll distribute them to upper management.”


    Maja nodded, catching a glimpse of thedy’s face turning sour and Murray’s embarrassment.


    He frowned nervously, “Zoey, she’s your friend?”


    Zoey quickly introduced, “This is ourpany’s CEO, my direct boss. Murray, did you guyse up


    together?”


    Thinking about the possibility that Maja might have overheard his conversation with his mom and even


    seeing him getting cozy with Evelyn at the art exhibition, Murray felt uneasy.


    Even thedy felt awkward and stayed silent.


    Zoey felt the strange tension and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”


    Majaughed, “Nothing. Zoey, is this your fiancé?”


    Zoey nodded sweetly, a bit embarrassed. After all, it was Murray’s first time delivering lunch to her


    workce.


    “Yes, Mr. Pennyfeather. If they’re bothering anyone, I’ll have them leave right away.”


    “No need.”


    Maja’s gazended on thedy. Her present embarrassment was in stark contrast to her earlier


    bravado.


    She hadn’t expected this young woman to be the CEO of this hugepany, and she had even


    overheard her belittling Zoey.


    She felt a bit uneasy, knowing Zoey was apetent worker, and her son hadn’tpletely won over


    Evelyn yet. Whether he could be the son–inw of the Farley family was still up in the air..


    So, she decided to keep Zoey on her side, which was why she agreed to apany them today. She


    wanted to use this opportunity to make Zoey more reliant on her son.


    But now, with Maja present, her n couldn’t be carried out, and she wanted to leave as soon as


    possible.


    Maja, however, said, “Let them go to the lounge nearby, don’t stand here. I could use a cup of coffee.”


    Zoey immediately led Murray and thedy to the lounge.


    As thedy sat down, she couldn’t help but look around.


    She was a country girl in her younger years, and it was only when she married a man who was


    educated in the countryside that she had the chance to change her destiny and move to Greenfield.


    But without proper education, finding a job in Greenfield was no easy feat. Though opportunities were


    plenty, they were only for those who were capable. Luckily, she had an exceptional son who got into


    Solstice College.


    Their family finally bought a house, having just paid off all the mortgage recently. Everyone was looking


    forward to having Zoey join the family. She could help take care of them. However, their son got a


    promotion and became a manager, and even met the daughter of his boss.


    Thedy shifted her gaze, softly asking Murray, “That woman, she heard our conversation. Is that


    going to be a problem?”


    Murray also felt ufortable. He still had feelings for Zoey. He was just a bit shaken, but he never


    truly wanted to leave Zoey.


    He admitted he was dazzled by the ces Evelyn took him to, but every time he faced Zoey, he would


    feel guilty.


    Zoey was a good girl, always up early for school. She was always working, and even doing face masks


    at the airport just so they could have a cozy little home.


    Sometimes he was ashamed of his wavering but couldn’t resist the allure Evelyn brought.


    Now, the presence of Penny was like a ticking time bomb. If Penny disclosed this matter to Zoey, his


    rtionship with Zoey would definitely end.


    And he had already introduced Zoey to his friends. If Zoey made his infidelity public, he would feel


    embarrassed.


    He knew he should feel guilty towards Zoey, but whenever he thought of what Zoey might do, he would


    feel irritated.


    Meanwhile, Zoey served Maja a cup of coffee, looking a bit embarrassed.


    “Mr. Pennyfeather, I’ll go chat with them.”


    After all, she was still a young woman, and the man was someone she had been in love with for seven


    years.


    Maja felt a bit sorry for her but could only continue to caution her.


    “It seems your future mother–inw isn’t too fond of you?”


    “A bit. Because I used to work too much and didn’t have time tomunicate with them, but I’ll change


    that.”


    Her eyes were so bright that Maja couldn’t bear to see them dim.


    She opened her mouth, struggling to say, “I saw your fiancé at the art exhibition. He was with another


    woman.”


    She thought Zoey would understand with that hint.


    But Zoey justughed, “That’s his female client. Murray works in sales. He deals with these clients


    every day, sometimes he even needs to entertain them to secure orders. It’s just the way it is.”


    Love often blinded women.
