Chapter 625
Nathan was just standing nearby, he knew what was going on in lan’s mind, so he kept his mouth shut, just standing quietly on the side.
lan just finished a cookie all chill–like, then instructed Maja to give Nathan some tasks.
“Got any coffee?”
“Yeah, I’ll whip it up right away.”
Maja nodded and tossed the cookie wrapper into a nearby bin.
lan watched her, feeling super comfy, finding her more and more likable.
A few minutes later, lan pulled her in and gave her lips a peck.
“Penny, you are natural at being a secretary.”
Before he could finish his sentence, the sound of a cup crashing came from the door.
Maja quickly pushed lan away, seeing Nathan standing at the door, his hands covered in coffee, the cup shattered on the floor, obviously startled by their antics.
He quickly picked up the shards, apologized hastily, and went off to prepare a fresh cup of coffee.
Maja frowned, starting to suspect that lan did that on purpose.
But what could have been his motive?
She turned her head to look at lan, but lan was already engrossed in some paperwork as if he had no idea Nathan would show up.
The meeting with Judson went smoothly, with extra hands on deck, the Greenfield Gardens project was expected to be finished in a fortnight.
“Penny, we’ll need you to do the formaldehyde testing on–site, because you handpicked all the materials. Even though we used the best stuff, we still need to run a full test.”
Maja nodded, stood up and shook hands with Judson.
Judson glanced at Maja, then at lan, his gaze full of meaning.
Back at the Raymond Corporation, Carlene was waiting at the office entrance.
“Jan.”
Carlene looked worn out, the money that she borrowed from Edith was not enough, she felt that Edith still wanted her to marry lan.
Maja quickly retreated into the lift, even lan didn’t have time to stop her.
He turned his head to look at the waiting Carlene, his expression calm.
“What’s up?”
“lan, l,”
Before Carlene could finish that sentence, she started sobbing.
lan watched Carlene, his gaze growing colder.
“Carlene, have I been spoiling you too much?”
Carlene froze, her lips quivered, and she kept silent.
lan became even more firm.
“Stop coming to me, the Shepard family has gotten enough from the Raymond Corporation. I can’t stand greedy people.”
Carlene finally broke down, she grabbed lan’s hand and said, “Don’t you like me at all?”
lan dodged Carlene’s hand; he suddenly found her very irritating.
He used to think that since she was the woman Eric liked, he should show her some respect. But he never thought she would be shamelessly persistent.
This time Carlene came to him hoping that lan could help the EverBest Group.
*Jeff, escort Ms. Shepard out.”
Carlene walked into the elevator crying.
When Carlene returned to the Shepard family, she had someone forge a letter from Eric.
She was always clever in that regard. In the past, to get close to lan, she deliberately asked Eric a lot of questions, remembering Eric’s handwriting and even keeping a draft paper.
Now, she found a handwriting expert, and based on the draft paper, forged a love letter from Eric.
The letter was short, the content simple–Carlene, I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
Carlene knew that Edith’s affection for Eric was profound, so she immediately went to find Edith with that forged letter.
Edith was so shocked to hear that Eric had left this letter that she almost fainted.
Carlene started crying in front of Edith.
“Edith, this was Eric’s promise to me. Now lan doesn’t care about the life and death of the Shepard family; he is just calmly watching the Shepard family go bankrupt. I don’t know if Eric will be sad, but I just can’t stand it, I want to go see Eric!”
Saying this, Carlene was about to headbutt the wall!
Edith quickly had someone stop her, then took the paper and looked at it carefully, tremblingly asking, “When did Eric write this to you?”
Carlene was a bit embarrassed, her lips pursed.
“At that time, I always asked Eric for advice, and he wrote me this sentence.”
When Eric was still around, Carlene often sought him out.
Edith looked at the paper, tears flowing like a fountain. She would lose her rationality over anything related to Eric.
“Since Eric wrote you this letter, he must truly like you. I will talk to lan later, you two should get married as soon as possible! It will be best if you can get pregnant, then you can immediately become a member of the Raymond family. Whether it’s a boy or a girl, the name must include Eric.”
Carlene’s eyes sparkled, she was so moved she didn’t know what to say.
“Edith, I’ll follow your arrangement?”
But Edith just cried while looking at the letter, unable to stop.
