Chapter 163
In his peripheral vision, she was picking up the papers on the desk, organizing them one by one.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, followed by Dana’s voice.
“Mr. Raymond.”
“Come in.”
His full attention was on his computer.
Dana glanced at Maja, her lips curving slightly upward, as she walked over.
“I just got a call from Carlene. She said she got you a gift and had it express delivered. Here you go, Mr. Raymond.”
To unsettle Maja, Dana deliberately undid the cufflink on her sleeve.
“She asked if you liked it. If not, the delivery guy is still downstairs, you can exchange it for another style.”
Maja instantly recognized it as the cufflink she had given lan.
When she bought the cufflink, she was filled with guilt and spent a lot of time choosing it, so it was deeply imprinted in her memory.
She now understood Carlene’s intentions.
But this seemed a bit much, and her attention to lan was overly intense.
lan looked at the cufflink. He had already forgotten which one Maja had given him, so he took it.
“Why did Carlene suddenly want to give me something?”
Dana sent a triumphant glance at Maja. This was the power of Carlene. Just mentioning her name was enough to distract lan. She had thought that Maja would back down, but Maja’s face was too calm, as if this scene had not disturbed her at all.
What was going on?
Was this woman pretending?
As she was about to speak, lan’s phone rang. It was Carlene calling.
lan answered the phone and Carlene’s voice came through.
“lan, did you get the gift?”
“Yeah.”
“Do you like it? I took a long time choosing it. I think it suits you.”
“Not bad.”
lan was a man of few words, and his clothes were always matched by a stylist, so he didn’t need to worry about such things.
A smile curved Carlene’s eyes as she thought of Maja in the office, and deliberately softened her tone.
“I’m glad you like it. Can you wear it in the future? I want to see you wearing it.”
lan didn’t think much of it and hummed in agreement.
His answer satisfied Carlene immensely. Maja was present but did not seem embarrassed. It seemed Maja’s worries were unfounded.
This was shameless. Everyone in town knew that lan was Carlene’s man. Even his wife in name had to avoid her.
She had been biting her tongue for three years. What right did this designer have to interfere?
She sneered inwardly, but her tone became even softer.
“I won’t disturb you at work then. I’ll be back soon, remember to pick me up at the airport, okay?”
lan agreed again.
After hanging up the phone, he was about to put the cufflink into a drawer, but when he opened it, he saw a package exactly like
this one.
He suddenly remembered that Maja seemed to have given him one before.
He looked up at Maja, but Maja wasn’t looking at him. She was still organizing the papers on the desk.
When she finished, she smiled at him.
don’t
“Mr. Raymond, I’m free now, I don’t want to disturb your work.”
lan felt a little uneasy for some reason he couldn’t understand. But he had already decided to keep a distance from Maja, so he just blurted out.
“You don’t have to make soup for me anymore.”
Both he and Maja knew why Maja would make soup for him.
But Dana didn’t understand. She thought lan had taken Carlene’s call and then rejected this woman on the spot.
Dana’s face was full of triumph, her smirk barely controllable.
Maja blinked, then sighed in relief. She was about to get busy and really didn’t have time to make soup.
Moreover, lan was going to Rosewood Manor at irregular intervals. If he found out the soup was made by Maria, it would be
awkward.
“Sure.”
Maja agreed so quickly it made lan feel a bit uncomfortable.
Nice Ian better reject Maja since she didn’t want you to know she is your wife
