Chapter 1155


    Just as Maja was about to agree, another car pulled up beside her, and the window rolled down to


    reveal Samuel''s face.


    "Maja?"


    "Mr. Brown?"


    Thest time Ian had caused some trouble for Samuel, but he himself had not gained much from it.


    After all, he had gone through a lot of effort, only to chat with Maja for a very short time, so brief it was


    almost negligible.


    Samuel was heartily pleased, but he had been busytely wrapping up that matter. He had just thought


    he was seeing things, but it really was Maja.


    Oh, and an annoying Ian.


    He immediately got out of his car, pretending not to see Ian.


    "I heard you''re negotiating a deal with Coral."


    "Yep, I''ve recently taken a liking to a script she has."


    "She has more than one good script. There''s one she''s been refusing to sell. It''s probably her best


    work in years."


    Maja was immediately intrigued, "How do you know?"


    "I''ve had dealings with her in the past."


    As for what dealings, he didn''t tell her.


    "Maja, would you like to grab a bite?"


    Samuel had already thrown out the bait, coincidentally the same as Ian''s intention.


    Both were inviting her for a meal.


    Maja was more interested in Samuel''s bait, and subconsciously wanted to nod.


    However, Ian grabbed her wrist.


    "Get in my car."


    When Maja sat in the backseat, Samuel quickly got in too. Ian had wanted to im the seat next to her


    and leave Samuel to drive, but he saw through his n.


    He hadn''t brought Jeff along this time, so if all three of them went to the back, there would be no one to


    drive.


    Samuel propped his head up with one hand, smug as can be, "Well, then Mr. Raymond, you will have


    to drive."


    Ian''s face instantly darkened, his fists clenched before he settled in the driver''s seat.


    "Maja,e sit in the front."


    Maja knew his temper. If she didn''t do as he said, the car would probably stay there all afternoon.


    She got out of the car and moved to the passenger seat.


    Ian felt much better inside and leaned over to fasten her seatbelt for her.


    He caught a whiff of her light fragrance, resisting the urge to lean in closer.


    Samuel watched from the back and couldn''t help but tease, "Does it really take three minutes to fasten


    a seatbelt? If you''re not handy, Mr. Raymond, I can do it."


    He directly exposed Ian''s ulterior motives.


    Ian nced up, their gazes met in the rearview mirror, sparks flying.


    But he didn''t say anything, just put the pedal to the metal.


    Fifty minutester, the car pulled up at a suburban hotel.


    The moment Samuel got out of the car, he bent over and vomited, his face pale.


    "Damn you, Ian. Eightnes in each direction, and you drive like this. How did you ever get your


    license?"


    Maja stood by, somewhat sympathetic. Ian had driven the car like a roller coaster. All she heard was


    the sound of bodies mming against the windows. Samuel didn''t even have time to fasten his


    seatbelt.


    Samuel had wanted to maintain his dignity in front of Maja, but ended up vomiting profusely as soon as


    he got out of the car.


    Maja sat in the passenger seat, thinking that it was no wonder Ian had fastened her seatbelt so tightly


    and even stuffed two cushioned pillows for her.


    Samuel continued to vomit on the side, feeling dizzy. Let alone negotiating with Maja, he probably


    wouldn''t even be able to read a document in front of him.


    Ian kindly patted his shoulder, "I''ve called for your assistant to pick you up. If you''re not feeling well, Mr.


    Brown, you should go home."


    Samuel was so angry he was shaking all over. He knew Ian yed dirty, but he didn''t expect him to go


    to such lengths.


    Samuel''s assistant arrived very quickly. It was so quickly that he parked the car and took him away in


    less than three minutes.


    Ian turned to look at Maja, his face instantly filled with affection. He took her hand, "Maja, let''s go in,


    I''ve already reserved a table."


    This hotel was a private venue and not open to the public.


    And the drive here was veryplicated, plus there was a heavy thunderstorm expected tonight.


    Ian''s intentions were clear as day.


    Maja pretended not to know and followed him inside.


    It was already autumn and tonight''s thunderstorm was expected to be the heaviest yet. Several areas


    had issued storm warnings.


    Maja sighed slightly when she saw Ian leading her to a hot spring.

    "During ourst hike, there was a natural hot spring there. You didn''t have time to soak in it. Here, you


    can enjoy the hot spring and someone will arrange dinner afterwards."


    The hot spring area was about a few hundred square feet. The water was clear, the surroundings were


    beautiful, and there was no one else around.


    Steam slowly rose, giving the entire space a hazy feel.


    Maja nced at the man beside her, who was still exining about the changing rooms, and couldn''t


    help but be suspicious of his motives.
