A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 406

When James came out of the bedroom again, a young male senior executive cautiously asked, "Mr. Xi, is that Mrs. Xi?"

With a smile, James replied, "Yes."

It was only then that realization dawned on them. "Oh no, did we disturb her rest?"

"No, don't worry." James returned to his seat and resumed his discussion with the executives.

When Maria woke up again, she needed to go to the bathroom, but she didn't want to walk around naked. There were clothes in the closet opposite the bed, but she was too exhausted to move.

She closed her eyes and called out, "James!"

Soon, the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside again. "Hello."

To Maria's surprise, it wasn't James' voice, but an unfamiliar female one. Her eyes shot open and she looked at the woman standing at the door.

The woman smiled and explained, "Mr. Xi went out just now. Is there anything I can help you with?"

This was the first time that she had seen such a beautiful woman with her own eyes. She wasn't wearing any make-up. Her long hair casually fell over the pillow, and there was a sharp glint in her beautiful eyes.

Lying in the bed, Maria asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm the new CEO of HL Group's branch company. My name is Elina."

It turned out that this woman was the female CEO that James had specially come to teach for a month.

The hostility Maria felt for this strange woman slipped out imperceptibly. Fixing a light smile, Maria said, "I see. Can you please help me get a set of pajamas from the closet?"

Elina was not sure if she had heard right. "Pajamas?" she echoed.

'This woman called Mr. Xi before to get her a glass of water, and now, she wants him to get her a set of pajamas.

Why does Mr. Xi dote on a woman so much?'

"Yes." Maria shifted into a more comfortable position and lay on her stomach. As she turned, the quilt slipped down from her shoulders, exposing the mess of hickeys on her back, which looked the same as those on James' neck.

Elina glanced around the spacious bedroom before finally spotting the closet not far away. She walked over and opened it.

There were several sets of suits, and pajamas for men and women prepared by the hotel.

She took out the women's pajamas and brought them over to the bed.

"Thank you," Maria said with a smile. As she reached out to take the pajamas, she sat up without any shyness, only covering her chest slightly with the thin quilt. Her fair back was almost completely exposed.

Elina smiled back. "You're welcome."

Tearing her eyes away from Maria's smooth, exposed skin, she straightened her back and walked out.

Just as she closed the bedroom door behind her, James happened to re-enter the suite. His eyes met Elina's, and a trace of confusion flashed through them.

Smoothing her long hair, Elina explained, "Mrs. Xi called for you just now. Since you weren't here, I went inside. She needed a set of pajamas."

James nodded and said, "Thank you."

"Mr. Xi, it's almost lunch time. I'm leaving now."

"Okay." James walked towards the bedroom.

Looking at his receding back and his fast pace, Elina said nothing. She went to the meeting area, quietly packed up the documents, and left the presidential suite.

When James entered the bedroom, Maria was nowhere to be seen. Without hesitation, he opened the door of the bathroom, and found her sitting on the toilet.

Caught off guard, Maria raised her head in shock.

James hadn't meant to open the bathroom door without knocking. It was just that, for a split-second, he had been anxious to find her.
