Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 174

Ian didn't respond, and turned off the phone screen, as if he didn't see Ryan's inquiry.

At that moment, Maja had no clue that her painting had found its way into Ian's possession. After finishing the late-night snacks Rita prepared for her, she was ready to go to bed.

Coco was lying under the bed, its ears twitching now and then.

Maja reviewed her recent work in her mind before drifting off to sleep.

Bright and early the next day, she had breakfast and headed off to the construction site.

The workers moved quickly, perhaps due to the groundwork laid by Samuel. The workers who came this time were very efficient. All Maja had to do was choose the materials for the next phase and make some timely adjustments to the design on-site.

After making sure the construction was on track, she checked the list of materials again. Apart from the cherry wood flooring from Crystalbrook Valley, she could find all the other materials in the market. Plus, hitting up the owners of the shops she'd gotten to know over the years would get her a good price.

Now, the cherry wood flooring was a top priority. Once she had her work in Greenfield sorted out, she would need to make a trip to Crystalbrook Valley.

When Maja was about to drive off, she first checked her phone. She hadn't visited the Pennyfeather family the previous night and they had called a ton, but this time she had to make her stance clear.

Otherwise, her father would make the same request next time.

Now that the second round of financing was a success, the Pennyfeather family could continue running the company as long as they didn't screw up. If they kept bothering Ian, that wouldn’t be worth doing.

Maja didn't return the calls, put her phone away, and was about to step on the gas when someone knocked on her window. It was Kim.

The last time Kim's affair with Silver was discovered, Silver’ wife was a hot-tempered woman, and she spread the word about Kim's actions in the studio, ruining her reputation. Lately, she hadn't been around Maxwell either.

Now that Kim was knocking on her car window with a grim look on her face, was she here to stir up trouble?

Maja rolled down her window and asked coldly, "What do you want?"

Kim took a deep breath and forced a smile.

"There's a meeting at the studio today, my car broke down, and I saw you pulling up. Can you give me a lift?"

Maja furrowed her brows. She didn't have a good relationship with Kim. Why would she help her?

Kim held her head high and said, "Check the work messages. Right now, only you and I haven't arrived. Maxwell has something important to discuss this time, so you should also go to the scene. So I suggest you help me along the way."

After checking the work messages, Maja realized a lot of people were actively chatting.

She disliked Kim, who had a bad personality and loved to hurt others with her words. But if she really denied her a ride, knowing Kim's temperament, she'd definitely stir up trouble at the studio later.

Seeing that Maja agreed to her request, Kim got in the car and said coldly, "Thanks, designer."

Her words were clearly sarcastic, but Maja pretended not to hear.
