Chapter 381
His throat bobbed twice, not understanding what made her so irresistible.
He lowered his eyes, tossed his phone aside, and didn’t respond.
Maja didn’t expect him to answer and slowly buttoned up her shirt.
But even if she buttoned it all the way up, it couldn’t fully hide the marks on her neck.
He really crossed the line last night.
Maja carefully checked her phone and found several missed calls.
As for the call log, it had been deleted by lan.
Apart from the missed calls, there were also text messages.
This one was from Knox, claiming that he had kidnapped Nathan.
She called him back.
Knox picked up and started berating her.
“You filthy woman, who knows whose bed you were in last night, if you don’t come, your husband will be beaten to death by us!”
After saying that, he put the phone in front of Nathan.
Nathan was about to pass out, unable to utter a word, and Knox slapped him.
“Speak up! Tell hér to come and save you!”
Maja wanted to speak, but last night she had held back from making any noise, and then after two hours at the hotel, she was hoarse from yelling.
It really hurt.
There was even a row of teeth marks on her lips, where she had bitten herself.
Compared to their first time, he was even rougher this time.
Knox just said casually,
“If you’re not here in an hour, I’ll mail you a few of his fingers!”
The call was abruptly ended.
Maja was getting a bit nervous.
When she managed to walk out the door, she ran into the housekeeper coming to clean the room.
The housekeeper looked at her in surprise, then noticed the mess on the bed and immediately understood what had happened.
But Maja felt really embarrassed.
Even though she knew very well that working hard didn’t always pay off in this world.
There were many people who struggled to find their way or were exhausted on their journey.
But she never thought that one day, she, who had always been hardworking and unwilling to lose, would end up on this path.
Or that she would have no other choice.
Once she got into the elevator, she just felt exhausted, the pain unbearable.
Remembering that lan hadn’t used a condom last night, she went to buy morning–after pills and swallowed a few without hesitation.
Back in her car, she had managed to compose herself.
She sent another message to lan.
[Mr. Raymond, could you send me Knox’s info?]
She waited in the car for an hour, but there was still no response from lan.
She hadn’t had breakfast yet and was feeling weak with hunger.
She drove to a steaming porridge shop and had a bowl of porridge, but still no word from lan.
Maja sent another one, just a few question marks.
[??]
Could it be that lan slept with her and now wanted to duck out?
That’s not like him at all.
Maja took a deep breath and suppressed her embarrassment.
[Mr. Raymond, wasn’t this our agreement?]
Half an hour later, lan finally replied.
[Didn’t we agree on ten times?]
He brushed it off lightly.
Not long after, he sent another one.
[Last night was just the first time.]
Maja swallowed, her throat feeling a bit sore.
She had never thought that lan would take advantage of this loophole.
Her fingers trembled slightly, and then she asked again.
[So where are we meeting tonight, Mr. Raymond?]
[I don’t want to do that every day.]
Otherwise, it would be over in ten days, and that would be too nice for her.
lan looked at his phone, feeling irritated.
In the evening, he attended a few meetings, and when he came out of the meeting room and entered his office, he saw Maja waiting for him there.
Her face looked a bit pale, but her eyes were very calm.
As if what had happened last night hadn’t left any marks on her.
lan slowly sat down, giving her a once–over.
She was wearing a scarf around her neck. Clothes couldn’t hide the kind of mark she had.
And considering the current weather, wearing a high collar would be out of place.
“Mr. Raymond.”
Maja called out, “I won’t go back on my word, I’ll fulfill the remaining nine times, can you give me Knox’s info first?”
She was in a hurry, but he was in no hurry at all. So from the beginning, this deal was never a fair one for her.
