When Phelps got back to his office, he mulled over the incident, unable to contain himself, so he shot
[Sorry, mate.]
[I identally saw her in the buff.]
No sooner had he sent the message thann called, his voice steeped in anger.
“Phelps, what do you mean by ‘I identally saw her in the buff?‘ You’re saying you identally saw
her naked?”
Phelps, massaging his temples, gave a detailed rundown of the incident, adding, “I’ve sent a nurse to
take care of her.”n felt a lot better after hearing this and hung up..
Then, he called Maja.
Maja, now with a fresh quilt, answered his call.
“Maja, is your fever any better?”
“Yeah.”
“Do you find Phelps attractive?”
“What?”

The previous conversation was nd, but hearing these words suddenly made Maja’s heart race, and
she involuntarily sat up straight.
She didn’t reply, andn didn’t say anything else.
Both of thempsed into silence, but neither hung up.
Unable to stand the tension, Maja was about to ask him if there was anything else when he asked
again.
“Do you miss me?”
She was taken aback, feeling heat spreading through her body, her breath quickening.
venture capital agreement?”
He looked out the window, “I’m not sure.”
Maja immediately felt a sense of urgency, n, are you pulling my leg!? If you lose, then the Raymond
Corporation.”
She was agitated, knowing if he did lose, Dennis would surely give him hell!
“If I lose, will you take care of me? Can Ie work at yourpany?”

So, this business battle was really like a gamble to him.
She hurriedly got out of bed, nearly copsing due to her weakness.
After steadying herself against the wall, she rushed out.
The nurse tried to stop her, “Ms. Pennyfeather, you need to rest. You’re still weak.”
But Maja discharged herself from the hospital and called Beck, wanting information about the
EcoTraverse Group’s shares.
The EcoTraverse Group was unique. Its share information was confidential, which was against
business principles, but their car sales were so good and they could ignore the rules.
Maja was on edge. Each time she thought ofn possibly facing a huge blow, she felt a desperate urge
to fly to North America.
On her way to see Beck, due to her poor health, she tripped and fell. When she arrived at the bar, her
forehead was covered in sweat.
Beck saw her and frowned, “Are you worried sick overn?”
That woke her up.
Indeed, this wasn’s matter. Her anxiety back home was meaningless.
“Penny, let me level with you. If this bet is important ton, my sister, who has a crush on him, would
help him. Did you see my sister when you came back from abroad? She’s been spoiled since she was
little, can’t stand the slightest grievance, and always talked in a sweet voice. Even if she has to shell
out tens of millions of dors to helpn, I think our Sanders family wouldn’t stop her.”
Beck’s words hit Maja like a p to the face.
While she was fretting overn, all she could do was probe the EcoTraverse Group’s movements,
trying to help him from a business standpoint. Meanwhile, the Sanders family’s princess could just
throw loads of cash at the problem.
The gap between them was too wide, especially sincen had already met the Sanders family’s
princess.
Seeing her a bit down, Beck passed her a drink.
“Penny, you might think it’s unfair, but there’s nothing you can do. My sister already called me, and she
wanted me to get rid of you. I liked you so I didn’t want to do that, but my older brother won’t let you off
easily. If he came to Greenfield, he’d fulfill all my sister’s requests.”
