Chapter 1159
Just as he had said, the next day while Maja was reviewing documents at work, she couldn''t help but
recall the scene of him stirring the porridge silently as she demanded exnations from him.
She had known long ago that Ian had a knack for melting hearts.
Taking a deep breath, she called in Zoey.
“Mr. Pennyfeather?”
“Zoey, could you help me find which brand of burn cream is the best? We need to send it over to the
Raymond Corporation.”
Without asking why, Zoey did as instructed.
When Ian received the burn cream, he simply raised an eyebrow. He didn''t use it, but put it in a desk
drawer.
A morning passed and he didn''t text Maja.
Maja didn''t ask either, but he was in no hurry.
In the evening, Coral invited Maja for a meetup, saying she wanted to discuss the investment she had
promised, particrly the casting.
When Maja met Coral at the BlueSky Bar, Coral was dressed in an exquisitedies’ suit.
They both looked like sessful career women, but with different auras.
Coral seemed cold on the surface, but there was an underlying air of nonchnce.
Maja was cold inside and out, but her heart was the softest.
She noticed the bruise on Coral''s wrist and lightly raised an eyebrow, "Did your brother do that?"
Hearing her brother Barton being mentioned, Coral rubbed her temples.
“I don''t know if it''s the pressure of being in the senior year. He''s been acting a bit strangetely. He told
me he had a great talk with you and promised to improve his grades."
Leaning back, Coral shook her ss of wine, "What did you talk about with him, Ms. Pennyfeather?"
"Love affairs."
Caught off guard, Coral paused and sighed, "How did I not think of this? He started school two years
stubborn. I can understand."
Maja realized that she waspletely oblivious to the boy''s troubles.
"Do you have a boyfriend, Coral?"
"I''m seeing someone recently."
Seemingly tired, Coral squinted her eyes, "I traveled abroad with him this time, but I came back earlier
and left him there."
Maja didn''t want to pry into others'' personal affairs. A young heart in love was like a dandelion in full
bloom. It took off with the slightest breeze. It was hard not to notice.
It won''t take long before Coral realized, even if she was a little bit slow.
After agreeing on the lead actress, Cornelia, Coral announced her departure.
As Maja stood up to see her off, she bumped into Ian and his group in the hallway.
She paused, deliberately looking at his palm.
His fingers were slender and fair, with blisters ruining the beauty.
Ryan, Fitch and Phelps were among the group.
Ryan wanted to greet her, but hesitated in the presence of Ian.
Fitch wiped his lips. Maja thought they seemed a bit more vibrant than usual.
But Fitch didn’t look at her. He took a step forward and walked away first.
Ryan didn''t dare to stay either. Knowing Maja''s first love was her older cousin, he didn''t want to make a
wrong move, so he hurriedly followed.
Coral''s gaze circled between Ian and Maja, then she chuckled.
"Ms. Pennyfeather, my car is outside. I won''t disturb you any longer."

Everyone knew about their rtionship and tried to create opportunities for them.
Maja saw that there were no traces of the cream on his fingertips, "Didn''t you use the cream?"
Ian nced at his hand, said casually, "I did."
She was at a loss for words, but then heard him ask, "Are you okay?"
Along with this question, fragments of the previous night shed through her mind. Twice in the pool
and then against the wall of the changing room.
His favorite position was to have her entirely dependent on him, her legs wrapped around his waist,
leaving her suspended in the air, giving him a sense of control.
A blush crept onto her face and when she looked up again, Ian was no longer in front of her.
He deliberately evoked the images in her mind, leaving the atmosphere charged. Then casually
disappeared, leaving Maja standing there, still a bit stunned.
