Chapter 180
lan had seen Rita before, he knew she worked at the Raymond Corporation, so he just gave her a slight nod.
Rita clapped a hand to her mouth in surprise, glancing inside before looking back at lan.
Wasn’t Penny already hitched? Her hubby couldn’t possibly be lan, otherwise Ryan should be telling her, instead of telling her Maja was his friend.
But it was nighttime now, and Mr. Raymond was coming out of Penny’s room.
Everybody at the Raymond Corporation knew that Mr. Raymond was a chilly character, not much of a talker. He wouldn’t be meeting women privately, even if Penny was his interior designer. If they needed to discuss house stuff, they should be meeting at the Raymond Corporation office.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Rita’s mind, and she remembered that painting Maja had done.
She had thought it was just a doodle by Maja, but now it seemed like there might be some connection between the painting and Mr. Raymond.
That could also explain why young Penny ended up as Mr. Raymond’s interior designer.
So Maja had used some underhanded methods to get this job.
Rita didn’t have much respect for women like that. She felt a bit uncomfortable, but with lan standing in front of her, she didn’t dare show any emotions and just hoped she could get back to her room as fast as possible.
lan glanced in the direction she came from. Were they neighbors?
“Penny’s running a fever, but there’s no one to take care of her right now. Can you take care of her?”
His tone was cold, and he had already walked to the elevator at this moment. Rita thought for a moment, but couldn’t help saying, “Mr. Raymond, I’m Ryan’s girlfriend. Ryan told me Penny is already married, her husband should be coming home to take care of her. But he’s always so busy, out early and back late.”
Rita didn’t know why she was saying all this.
She thought she was already lucky enough to be with Ryan, considering she was just a receptionist,
She never expected a married woman like Penny would catch lan’s attention.
How many women in this city would like to marry him? She probably couldn’t even count them all.
Rita hung her head, maybe she was just jealous. How could a married woman be good enough for lan?
Mr. Raymond was a high–roller, meeting him here was already like him slumming it.
“All women are jealous.” Rita thought she wouldn’t be jealous of anyone because she was lucky enough.
But compared to lan, Ryan was definitely worse.
Although it was Ryan she liked, it was true. Ian was already in the elevator, hearing Rita’s words, so there was indeed a man of the house at Penny’s.
He hadn’t seen any men’s shoes, maybe she hadn’t released them yet.
He pushed the button for the first floor, not saying anything else.
Once he had left, Rita stood frozen in place, suddenly filled with regret.
Why did she have to say all that? After all, Penny had helped her out with her thing with Ryan.
Even though she hadn’t seen Ms. Raymond tonight, because Ryan had called her back halfway through, Penny had indeed given her Ms. Raymond’s room number.
Wanting to make up for her mistake, Rita went to Maja’s room and gave her some fever–reducing medicine.
Maja was already lying on the couch, grateful when she saw Rita come in with medicine.
After she had taken the medicine, Rita covered her with a blanket.
“Penny, I left the water here. If you wake up in the middle of the night and feel unwell, just call me. You know my number.”
Maja thanked her after hearing this.
After leaving the room, Rita got a call from Ryan. She couldn’t wait to tell him about running into lan, and she made sure to emphasize how she had taken care of Maja.
She hoped not only that Maja would appreciate her help, but also that Ryan would see how kind she was.
Ryan was with Maureen when he answered the phone. Maureen didn’t know who the girl on the other end was, only catching, “Penny’s sick, she has a pretty bad fever.”
“Ryan, let’s go see Penny.”
“Mom, you need to stay in the hospital for observation. You can’t just go anywhere you want.”
“We’ll go tomorrow morning. Come pick me up early, and we’ll go to where she lives.”
Ryan was a bit uneasy, because Rita was Maja’s neighbor now, he was worried there might be unnecessary trouble.
