Chapter 10
Maya sat down in the rest area by the window and quickly typed out a reply
|Can I meet him in person first?]
She was right outside Raymond Town, ready to meet lan if he was willing
The lawyers said they would negotiate them they stopped responding.
At the top of the bulking.
The man sitting behind a black marble desk was looking down at some documents.
Jeff walked in, “Mr. Raymond, Ms. Pennyfeather would like to see you.”
Ian Mfted his gaze from the papers briefly. His tone was indifferent, obviously not in the mood to chal
“No.”
It was clearly a tactic to avoid divorce Did she think a meeting could change anything? She was being overly confident
He frowned, his voice cold and heavy. “Have the lawyers send the divorce agreement to the Penny feather family. Let’s see if she’ll sign.”
Jeff nodded, not going into too much detail about the first lady’s affairs, and confirmed the schedule, “Reyes Gallegos, the president of Summit Bank, has arranged to meet you at the golf course this afternoon. We can head out now.”
lan stood up, adjusted his tie and simply said, “Alright”
As the time ticked by several people arrived where Maja was seated–both men and women, all formally dressed.
She sat quietly on the side, like a beautiful painting, until the phone rang. It was the Pennyfeather family.
Neils tone was unusually frantic
“Maja what’s happening? Why does lan suddenly want a divorce? Did something happen between you two? You should come home so we can talk.”
Majapaused before replying, “Dad, you know he’s been abroad for three years after we got married. What else could it be about?”
Neil was so anxious he was practically frothing at the mouth, “Maja, we can’t divorce now. Our family is in a tough spot. We’re about to start a second round of financing. If we divorce now, our stocks will definitely be affected. The shareholders might even pull out.” Cristina’s voice could be heard in the background.
Tve always said she’s not on your side. We can’t rely on her. If she’d tried harder would lan have had the lawyers send the divorce papers right to our home? We’re a laughing stock now!”
Neil fell silent for a moment before quietly saying. “I’m doing this for your own good, Maja. It’s hard for a divorced woman to remarry. Let’s go find Holden. He’s always been fond of you…”
Maja felt a lump in her throat. Was he doing this for het or for the company? Or for Cristina’s family?
But she couldn’t ask.
She remembered how, after her mother died, Neil would bring her to every meeting, fearing she would have an accident. She told him Holden was abroad for treatment and hadn’t returned yet, then quickly ended the call
Ian had already had the lawyers send the divorce agreement to her family. It seemed the lawyer’s negotiations with him had failed. He wasn’t willing to meet with her
He really did despise her his own wife.
Since he’d made his stance clear there was no point in her waiting around to get insulted
Maja was feeling a bit down. She bumped her knee getting into the car, and it was only then that she noticed the new message from Maxwell
[Have you mel Kurt Gallegos, the son of the Summit Bank’s president, before“]
Maja did remember this man, but she’d been busy selecting materials for another clent at the time, so she’d forgotten about it.
Maxwell told her that Kurt had already scheduled a meeting at the studio. He was currently at the golf course and was especially fond of her designs
Maja asked for the exact address, and then drove there.
The golf course was located in the suburbs, covering several thousand acres.
When Maja arrived, someone came out to greet her–it was Kurt’s assistant
“Ms. Pennyfeather nice to meet you.
The assistant was all smiles, very polite, Please, follow me.”
She followed the assistant and found herself in a changing room.
The assistant explained. The golf course needs to be maintained, so only players and caddies are allowed on it. I’ve prepared a golf club for you Do you play golf?”
“I do, but I’m not very good.“,
“That’s fine. You can change into some clothes, they’re waiting for you on the course”
Majanodded. In the past she’d played tennis and gone fishing with clients to secure orders. Playing golf was nothing to her
The assistant had prepared a white sporty miniskirt and a matching hairband. Maja tied her long hair into a ponytail picked up the club bag, and walked out
Just as she was looking out at the golf course from the lobby, she turned around and saw a tall man surrounded by a group of people He had an extraordinary aura, exuding a cold and intimidating presence. Maja froze in her tracks. So lan was here too.
She was standing in the most conspicuous position. It would be hard not to be noticed.
She stood tall her ponytail high, radialing youthful energy. Her legs were long and straight under the miniskirt. A red mark on her knee was particularly noticeable
lan only glanced at her once before booking away.
