Chapter 277
lan’s hands in front of her were clean, slender, and his nails were neatly trimmed. They looked pretty appealing.
But beneath that elegant exterior, it seemed like a beast was dancing at the sharp tips of his fingers, icy and full of potential danger.
Maja instinctively took a step back, but his other hand had already reached out, landing on the wall behind her.
She was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Maja nervously leaned against the wall, but her attempt to create distance didn’t work.
His two hands had already blocked her way out.
She nervously swallowed, not daring to look at him.
In this standoff, as a woman, she seemed to be at a disadvantage.
To an outsider, it looked like he’tightly surrounded her.
The tense atmosphere was enough to make your head spin, but Maja had to stay sober because the person across from her was lan.
She couldn’t have any relationship with lan.
Just then, her phone rang, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere, and she sighed in relief.
Seeing the caller ID showed Nathan, a glimmer of surprise flashed in her eyes.
She wasn’t fond of Nathan calling her for no reason before, but now, this call came just in time.
lan obviously saw the name on her phone; his lips tightened slightly as he watched her happily answer the call; even her body wasn’t as stiff as before, as if the call was her lifesaver.
He slowly withdrew his hand, hearing her say, “You got a promotion? Okay, I got it; I’ll be right back.”
Nathan indeed got a promotion, and after a long period of consideration, he finally decided to call her.
If it weren’t for Maja saving face for him, waiting for him in the hall, this promotion opportunity might not have come his
way.
He wanted to treat her to dinner, even though he knew she might not care.
Nathan had other thoughts, like developing a real relationship with Maja.
Since Maja agreed so quickly, he immediately made a reservation at the restaurant.
Maja repeated the name of the restaurant and then hung up the call.
The arm in front of her disappeared.
She was afraid to look at lan, constantly feeling that he might have done something if the call hadn’t interrupted him just
now.
Underneath his calm exterior, he seemed a bit restless.
Maja remembered the kiss in Crystalbrook Valley; she didn’t understand what he meant. Could lan, like any other man, have desires?
She remembered how he had made her lose her mind in bed the first night.
Her face turned even redder, and she quickly spoke up.
“Mr. Raymond, I’ll take my leave.”
“Take your documents with you.”
His tone was indifferent as if he didn’t regard what just happened as important.
Maja thought he didn’t need her documents, so she turned around without hesitation and picked up her papers from the coffee table.
At this point, he turned on the lights in the room.
The light was glaring; she shielded her eyes with the documents.
When she recovered, she found he was already gone, the sound of water coming from the bathroom. Maja let out a sigh of relief and quickly walked out the door, carefully closing it but not locking it.
When she arrived at the hotel lobby, she received a message from lan.
“Please take care of the Greenfield Gardens project.”
This gave Maja a headache; she hadn’t told him about Carlene’s issue. If she had to design according to Carlene’s ideas, her reputation in the interior design field might have been completely ruined in the future.
Maja frowned; she couldn’t accept this and returned to lan’s room.
“Mr. Raymond, about the Greenfield Gardens project, it’s not that I don’t want to continue, but…”
Since the door wasn’t tightly closed, she pushed it open, but her words suddenly stopped.
lan had just come out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around his waist with water droplets rolling from his chin to somewhere else.

Maja’s pupils suddenly contracted, she almost unconsciously wanted to lower her head and run out, but her wrist was caught, and the door in front of her closed!
She was locked in!
She felt like danger was just around the corner.
