Chapter 1000
When Maja left Greenfield Gardens, it was the local driver who personally took her to the office.
Her mind was still echoing with Ian''s words, making her ears tingle.
But the thought of Judith sobered her up.
Was this considered an affair?
Initially, when he didn''t know her identity, their rtionship was, in a sense, an affair. Now that he
seemed to have a potential girlfriend, he was once again tangled up with her.
Their rtionship had always been like that, only describable with such an unpleasant word.
He was unwilling to give her a title, wanting to keep their rtionship a secret.
As she lowered her eyshes, she realized that it wasn''t her body that ached but her heart.
It felt as if something was squeezing it, making breathing painful.
Upon returning to Star Movie Group, Zoey had been waiting for her. Seeing Maja, Zoey rushed over to
hug her.
"Miss Pennyfeather, are you alright?"
Maja shook her head, suddenly remembering that she had lost her phone. She quickly rummaged
through her bag and found a new one. The SIM card should be in there, too.
"I''m fine."
Zoey nodded, and they both entered the office.
This time, they were saved, thanks to Ian. However, thinking about the princess of the Sanders family
she saw at the Raymond Corporation, she felt a wave of unease.
"Miss Pennyfeather, I went to the Raymond Corporation yesterday. The Sanders'' princess was there
every day, bringing Mr. Raymond lunch. She even has ess to the top floor. The receptionist told me
she might be the future Mrs. Raymond. Ms. Sanders is also really good at ying innocent."
Maja had already turned on herputer. Her cor wasn''t high, revealing the mottled marks on her
skin.
Zoey wasn''t a fool. She knew who had left those marks, and a sense of resentment filled her heart.
Mr. Raymond was flirting with one woman after another. While they did owe him for this time, how could
he keep such a wonderful woman as Miss Pennyfeather as his secret lover?
If Miss Pennyfeather could choose another man, she would surely be happier. She wouldn''t have to put
up with the mistreatment from other women by staying with Ian.
"Miss Pennyfeather, you shouldn''t stay with Mr. Raymond. He doesn''t appreciate you. He summons
you and dismisses you at his will and only wants to feel in control."
Maja paused. A sense of control?
Butst night, when he was kneeling in front of her, earnestly massaging her legs, she had a moment
of illusion that Ian had be a knight, a servant.
Their positions made her feel like she wasn''tpletely under his control.
Only when they were intimate would he be dominant, not listening to her pleas.
After their tryst, he would be somewhat clingy.
Then he would turn cold as if all the confusion and ambiguity had disappeared.
This was how their rtionship always was, and she had gotten used to it.
However, when Zoey said that Ian didn''t appreciate her, she felt a pinch in her heart.
"Miss Pennyfeather, I think Mr. Sanders is pretty good. Shawn is also decent. At least you wouldn''t be
this exhausted if you were with them."
Maja opened herputer and checked today''s entertainment news, her tone turning cold.
"I don''t have those feelings for Beck. I can tell that he only sees me as a friend. As for Shawn, I''m his
boss, he''s my employee."
"And what about Mr. Raymond?"
Maja was silent for a moment, then gave a bitter smile.
"I don''t know. I''m afraid to ask."
That single sentence told Zoey that Maja was in love with Ian.

That''s how people were. The more they loved, the more they questioned whether they were worthy.
Not to mention that the rumors about Ian and other women were still flying around.
In terms of family, looks, and abilities, Ian was a standout. It was easy to feel inadequatepared to
him.
Zoey fell silent. Then, they heard a knock on the office door, followed by Shawn''s voice.
"Miss Pennyfeather, may Ie in?"
Maja was surprised. Shawn was outside?
Had he heard their conversation?
