She was soaked to the bone with mulets of water dripping from how long has Her bare feet were on the floor and her ankles were as straight as a pin Her toes we plump and far Her nails were really tammed, and unconsciously curled dun la nivousness
Ian shot her ameaningful glance, then shut down his computer priored and said, “Hubby? Not bothering in hide your thoughts now, am you?”
She noticed where his gaze landed and looked down at herself. Ender the light, the outline of her underwear was clearly visible Her usually pale face tumed as red as a beetroot in an instant, and the bolted back into the bathroom like a scared rabbit
lan had no interest in entertaiming for little show anymore He grabbed his laptop and same documents, ady to make his eat but a picture follout of the folder and onto the floor Befom he could pick it up, the bathroom door swung open There were no fresh clothes for her la change into, and Maya could only wep herself a towel Her wet hair was bed up, exposing her entim face, and her demeanor was much more reserved than before.
“Mr Raymond, I deeply regret what happened,” she sad
She bent down to relieve a prep and card arrange a new room for you and I’m willing to compensate you for all the mentaldstress you’ve undergone.”
lan had come to her rescue, only for her to lum on him. It was already magnanamous of him to tolerate such insolence from a woman he didn’t even like
Mental distress compensation lan repeated, making sure he heard conectly
Majas hand Ightened around the towel she was clutching due to her unease, causing it la wrinkle, She looked up at lan Their eyes met, and she forgot what she was going to say next. The memory of her forcing a kiss on him flashed across her mind, and she felt her cheeks bum The only thing that made her breathe a sigh of relief was that, given his reaction, he probably didn’t know who she was yet.
Do you think I’m short on cash? Or did you say that to get my attention?” lan looked her up and down. “What makes you think you’re my type?”
Earlier in the day on the golf course, she had the audacity to tell Kurt she was the wife of the CEO of the Raymond Corporation. Now she wished she could deny any connection with him. Her acting skills were laughably poor. He didn’t want to stay in this room any longer than necessary He bent down and calmly picked up the picture from the floor The last one, however was by Majas foot.
Maja stepped back and picked it up for him. Just as she was about to hand it over she saw the content of the pikture and a look of surprise crossed her eyes. Wasn’t this thevilla she had designed? She was somewhat laken aback, so she held onto the picture and didnt hand to lan night away

In me, bull was in the wrong tonight. If possible I hope to compensate you for your loss in other ways.”
She had never thought she would have any deep relationship with him, so his harsh words didn’t offend her. They just made her feel a bit embarrassed. She relaxed slightly and regained her composure In other ways? What could that be?
Ian shot her a cold glance, took the picture from her without changing his expression, and turned to leave. But then she asked, “Are these photos from Mr. Elston?
Ian hadn’t expected her to try to keep him there at this moment. He couldn’t help but laugh softly, a scomful look in his eyes. Don’t tell me you’re friends with this designer and want to recommend him to me.”
