tan’s face was cold as ice, his brows furrowed in seriousness. This stoic look only made him seem
more mysterious and quite allung.
Fannie’s heart raced as she looked at him, her cheeks flushing a rosy hue. Then he said, “I have Jeff
take you home.”.
Fannie’s face fell at his words, her eyes quickly welling up with
h tears
“Don’t think I didn’t notice, you met Penny in the restroom during dinner”
lan had left the table, and Fannie had followed him, witnessing the two of them standing at the
restroom door
The vibe was clear. Something was up. The atmosphere had only cooled further when fan returned to
the table, especially after overhearing Penny’s phone call.
Fannie felt uneasy, but she couldn’t figure out what could be going on between the two.
“So what?” He stood in the doorway, cold and distant.
Fannie bit her lip, uncertain about his attitude.

She hadn’t planned on bringing up Penny, but her beauty was hard to ignore. And she could actually be
affecting lan’s mood? Fannie was unsure about this
“lan, are you really attracted to her?”
There was no hint of emotion in lan’s eyes, but his face had noticeably hardened.
“Fannie, I’m already married.”
“So, whether or not I’m attracted to her is none of your business, Jeff will take you home.”
Her eyes reddened again at his words, stamping her foot in anger.
You’re so annoying!”
She cried as she stormed off.
lan rubbed his temples, retreating back into the room and shutting the door behind him. When Jeff
arrived, he brought with him a pile of new documents
“Mr. Raymond, Samuel from EliteEdge called. He said.
lan took out his pen, scanning through the documents, “What did he say?”
“He asked if he could pursue your wife if you didn’t like her or want to deal with her.”
Samuel was a real jerk, thinking of pursuing someone else’s wife and having the audacity to inform her
husband
lan was amused by his audacity, picturing Samuel’s pretentious face. The man had no standards when
it came to women, and he was quick to switch targets.
“Let him be.”
He said coldly, not missing a beat, “If he can make my wife fall for him and divorce me, I’ll be more than
happy.”
That way, no one would be bothering him all the time.
Jeff bowed his head in silence, thinking how much lan despised his own wife.
“Mr. Raymond, here’s tomorrow’s schedule. Once we’re done, we can go home.”
The project’s kick-off was pretty much settled, but since it was a government collaboration, lan still had
to make a few more visits
“No rush. We’ll go back in two weeks”
Otherwise, Holden would stir up new problems again.
“But Ms. Shepard has already booked a flight for the day after tomorrow. She couldn’t reach you on the
phone tonight, and she wanted to have dinner with you.”
lan was silent for a moment, then lowered his gaze, “Alright, we’ll go back tomorrow.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Okay.”
Early the next morning.
Jeff trailed behind the cars of the directors, who knew it was their last visit before leaving. However, on
the way back, after a round of visits, they ran into a parked car on a different road.
Crystalbrook Valley was a poor county, the mountain roads were narrow and neglected, untouched by
development, and this car was blocking the
road.
James, who was driving upfront, immediately got out of the car, but was startled when he saw who was
in the car
Wasnt that Maja?
Maja heard someone knocking on the window, she frowned, squinted against the bright sunlight, then
finally got out of the car. She was still wet. having spent the night in the cold, her face looked pale
James was taken aback, “What are you doing here in the middle of the night?”
Maja replied, “Sorry, my car broke down and I can’t drive it back.”
James quickly made a call for a tow truck. But since her car was blocking the road, the cars behind
couldn’t proceed, so they had to wait
Bob had no choice but to inform lan about the situation, sighing afterwards, Poor girl, her mother died
young and her father remarried. I heard her husband is unreliable too. Mr. Raymond, can I let her
warmup in your car? She’s soaked to the bone.”
lan didn’t say anything, his grip tightening on the documents as he heard Maja’s story.
