Chapter 65
As soon as Maja walked in, she heard the barking of a dog. From a distance, she saw a snowy white dog running towards her, excitedly circling around her.
Maja bent down to give it a pat on the head.
“Coco, have you been good while I was away?”
Maria came out of the house, wearing an apron and looking about fifty, very kind.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, he’s been a handful when you’re not around. He even went fishing in the pond yesterday, and caught all the fish. I had to help him to remove the tiny bones and cook the fish for him to eat.”
Maja found it amusing and gave Coco’s head a good rub, “Why you are such a foodie”
Coco is a German shepherd, now about six years old, always sticking with Maja.
Maja’s apartment couldn’t keep dogs, and Holden just gave her this villa. She rarely came over, so she had Maria look after Coco.
After playing for a while, Maja dragged her suitcase into the house.
Seeing the suitcase, Maria’s eyes sparkled with surprise.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, have you finally decided to move in?”
“My apartment got robbed, so I’m staying here for a few days.”
Maria was both surprised and worried, “Did you call the police? It’s dangerous for a girl to live outside alone. You should stay here from now on. Holden asked me to look after you, but you’ve rarely visited in the past three years. I don’t know how to explain it to him.”
Tl have to stay here until I find a new place to live.”
Maja teased Coco with one hand, her lips slightly curling up.
Coco lay on the ground, wagging his tail like crazy, his eyes sparkling.
On the other side, lan had just dropped off Maja when he got a call from Holden.
“lan, I’m about to finish my paperwork, I’ll be back soon.”
lan rubbed his temples, “I know, Grandpa, take care of your health.”
“If you really care about me, you’d hurry up and have a child with Maja. Maybe that would speed up my recovery. What use is verbal concern?”
lan thought of the beautiful handwriting on the agreement, Maja.
Like her, the Pennyfeathers were greedy, but her handwriting was very elegant, not living up to her reputation.
‘T’ll try my best.”
His eyes didn’t waver as he said this.
Holden breathed a sigh of relief, so he was really trying.
“Good, when I get back, you and Maja must accompany me for meals often.”
lan frowned, thought for a moment, and tried to be tactful.
“Grandpa, The Raymond corporation business is very busy. I just returned to the country, there are many new businesses to expand, and the company’s policies need to be reformed. I may not have that much time for now.”
“Then tell me, what do you think of Maja?”
“She’s okay”
He answered perfunctorily, glancing at the video invitation on his computer, he had an excuse.
“I have an online meeting to attend, let’s talk later.”
After hanging up, he rubbed his temples, worried that he might reveal his secrets if he didn’t discuss with Maja. He thought of what the Pennyfeathers had done, and his brow furrowed involuntarily in the end, he didn’t call her, but accepted the meeting invitation.
If she couldn’t handle even this small matter, then there was no need for The Raymond corporations to continue assisting the Pennyfeathers with their second round of financing.
After all, the content of the agreement was to cooperate with the performance of the love story, if the act failed, it was her who broke the contract first, he can’t be blamed for being cold. Towards the end of the meeting, the car stopped at the hotel where he was staying. As soon as he got out, he heard a surprised female voice from the hotel lobby, “Mr. Raymond.” lan looked in the direction of the voice, the woman seemed unfamiliar
Kim was thrilled, originally hoping for Maja to play matchmaker, she hadn’t expected to run into lan at the hotel
Her recent networking efforts to gather information hadn’t been in vain.
Kam introduced herself, “Mr. Raymond, hello, Penny and I are designers in the same studio. We also competed for your project a while ago, but Penny worked harder than all of us. Even when she was sick, she insisted on meeting you in the end, she got what she wanted and you chose our studio. It’s our honor.”
Although she seemed to be praising Penny, she was actually implying that Penny had used any means necessary to get close to lan
Of course lan knew that she was deliberately misleading him! He didn’t respond and turned to leave, but Kim quickly said
Just met Bars Raymond she’s very gentie She asked me some questions about Penny, and seemed to think Penny had ulterior motives. I was going to call Penny to give her a heads up, but then ran into you. Ar Raymond”
