Chapter 564
lan seemed unaware of the storm his comment would cause, and he continued to look at Kurt.
“So, if you’re not planning to throw her into the sea, can I take her with me?”
Kurt felt as if he had just been slapped in the face, and none of his close friends dared to speak up for him.
They were about the same age as lan, but they’d been schooled from an early age not to mess with this guy.
In the past, the Raymond family heir was Eric Raymond. Eric was a mild–mannered guy, but lan was a whole different story. He was not the chatty type, nor would he tell them when he was pissed. Once he started swinging, begging for mercy was useless.
Kurt’s eyes turned red, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
“Mr. Raymond, you’re overthinking this. I was just joking with Penny, do as you please”
Maja found Kurt’s “joking” comment hilarious. She was surprised at how flexible he was, talking tough one minute and begging for mercy the next.
Her gaze fell on Laura. The issue of her infringing on her artwork needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.
Laura was startled by her gaze. She was both angry and flustered, but if Kurt was such a wuss, how could she, a little starlet, dare to talk back to lan?
“Miss, you didn’t tell me the name of the brand earlier.
“AN.”
Hearing the brand name, Maja raised an eyebrow. It was indeed no small brand. It was popular back home for its vintage style, and their dresses from several shows were popular.
But she hadn’t expected them to directly plagiarize her work.
“Okay, I got it.”
Having said that, she turned to look at lan.
lan was also looking at her. He grabbed her hand and left.
In front of so many people, Maja couldn’t shake him off so easily.
It was only when they had turned the corner that she ruthlessly shook off his hand.
“Thanks for what you did just now, Mr. Raymond.”
lan’s face darkened further, he continued to question her, “If I hadn’t stepped in, who were you planning to call?”
Maja remained silent.
He inhaled deeply and said sarcastically, “Can I have your private number now? After all, I helped you.”
Maja took out a tissue and began to clean her wine-stained dress.
From lan’s perspective, her skin was incredibly smooth. Who had given her that chest chain?
“Mr. Raymond, have you ever seen friends with benefits who can remain regular friends after ending the benefits? We can just communicate through our work accounts in the future.”
A flash of disbelief crossed lan’s eyes. She was as cold as she had been obedient.
A waiter carrying a tray of red wine passed by them. There were ten wine glasses on the tray.
Maja smelled the wine and knew it was expensive. Those rich folks really drank upscale wine like it was water.
The next second, lan took a glass of wine and splashed it on Maja’s neck without hesitation.
The waiter was astonished, “Oh, sir.”
“Get lost!”
The waiter quickly bowed his head, pretended not to see what had happened, and left immediately.
lan had had a few drinks tonight, but he wasn’t drunk. He looked at Maja with a heavy gaze.
It was the second time in half an hour that Maja had been splashed. That time, it was lan who did it.
She lowered her eyelashes and felt the heat rising in her eyes.
She didn’t even have time to wipe the water droplets flowing down her neck.
lan grabbed her by the back of the neck and forcibly shoved her into a nearby rest area, as if he were dealing with a criminal.
The rest area was for makeup touch–ups, with luxurious sofas, but people came and went all the time.
Before Maja could react, she was pressed onto the sofa.
He bent down and without hesitation, sucked the wine from her tender skin.
Maja felt a tingling sensation on her scalp and felt like her head was about to explode.
She pushed him away with her hand.
“Mr. Raymond, I remember the ten times are over.”
lan’s thin lips moved to her diamond necklace.
The stimulation scared Maja, and her legs went weak.
