Chapter 810


    He didn’t want to be stung by her sharp tongue any longer.


    After closing the door, he fingered for a bit, catching the staff asking Maja if she needed anything.


    “Ms. Pennyfeather, would you like a midnight snack? The chef has whipped up some chicken soup.


    Good for the stomach.”


    Maja was about to decline, but the mention of chicken soup got her interested.


    “Where do I eat it?”

    “We’ll bring it to your room.”


    She nodded, her stomach conveniently growling.


    The staff smiled and asked, “Just a moment, please. The soup will be up shortly.”


    The room was soundproofed, but he could still hear the sound of Maja’s shower. His heart was filled


    with tender feelings, and he couldn’t help but picture her in bed.


    He’d never craved someone so much.


    After a shower, while still in his towel, he got a call from Judson from Silverstone Enterprises.


    “Mr. Raymond, we’ve had a hup in the finance department. There’s been a mix–up with the cost of


    some materials. I’d like to review it with you and Ms. Pennyfeather personally. I’ll add us all to a group


    chat, if that’s okay?”


    This kind of screw–up was a big no–no for apany.


    Judson was expectingn to lose his cool, but to his surprise,n agreed after a few seconds of


    silence.


    Judson had always seenn as a tough nut to crack, so his easy agreement was unexpected.


    After all, the renovations at Greenfield Gardens were done months ago. Discovering the issue now was


    a real blunder on Silverstone Enterprises‘ part. Jan sat on the sofa, seeing himself added to a group


    chat, and there was Maja’s profile picture.


    He was her friend and knew what her profile picture looked like.


    Maja and Judson both turned on their mics, and Judson started apologizing.


    “Ms. Penny, I’m terribly sorry. One of our ountants has been caught fiddling with the books and has


    been taken away by the police. When we rechecked his records, we found discrepancies in the cost of


    Greenfield Gardens‘ renovations. I’m really sorry to bother you about this.”


    Maja was surprised that Silverstone Enterprises had such a scandal: Financial mishaps could


    bankrupt apany. Thankfully, they caught it in time.


    She immediately pulled up the old invoices and went through each one with Judson.


    Judson invitedn to join just as a witness.


    The renovation costs weren’s responsibility. He had a right to know, especially since Silverstone


    Enterprises and the Raymond Corporation often coborated. Maja’s voice was clear andposed,


    remembering every detail of the ounts.


    first called him Mr. Raymond.


    He looked down at himself, grasped himself, and started pumping.


    He decided to tune out Judson and just listen to Maja’s voice.


    He didn’t even know what they were discussing, but he heard herugh. Herughter sent shivers


    down his spine. It touched him deeply..


    His face flushed a light pink. He never thought he’d do something like this.


    “Mm.”


    When he was about to climax, he couldn’t hold back a moan.


    After a while, Maja’s side went silent.


    He felt a chill. Did he forget to mute his mic?


    He nced at the mic icon, which showed it was off.


    He was almost there but couldn’t quite finish.


    Then Maja’s voice came out of nowhere; “Mr. Raymond, what are you doing? Mr. Judson has been


    asking you questions for a while now.”


    She sounded indifferent, butn could hear a hint of reproach in her words.


    He had to unmute and talk to her. His words were for her ears only: “What?”


    Maja stiffened. Why did his voice sound so hoarse?


    “I said, Mr. Judson has been asking you questions. Didn’t you hear him? If you’re not interested, you


    can leave the meeting.”


    Her tone suddenly turned rigid.n was silent for a while, then reached for a tissue.


    He then unmuted his channel with Judson, saying, “Carry on, I’m listening.”


    Judson thought he’d identally upset him. Hearing his response, he quickly wiped his sweaty


    forehead.


    “Mr. Raymond, I’ve gone over the ounts with Ms. Penny. We’ve overcharged you by twenty


    thousand dors. We’ll refund it to your ount.”


    Okay.


    door.


    He got up to open it and found Maja standing outside.


    Maja had the staff print all the invoices from back then and say, “Mr. Raymond, you might want to


    double–check these with your finance department at the Raymond Corporation.”


    She looked up at him and saw a glint of satisfaction in his eyes, but more than that, anticipation.


    Maja had been intimate withn many times. She knew that when he was aroused, the skin around his


    eyes would turn red, and he could say anything, just like he


    was now.
