Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 18

Maja swept the hair back from her forehead, tucking it behind her ear. Her eyes were bright and clear. Her speech was crisp, tinged with a light laugh, and she extended her hand.

"Mr. Raymond, allow me to reintroduce myself. I'm Penny, an interior designer. The item you're holding is one of my works."

Ian came to a halt, thinking he must've heard wrong.

When Maja saw that he didn't shake her hand, she withdrew it leisurely.

"I've wanted to talk about this a few times, but you didn't seem interested. Seeing that you've kept my designs, I'm thinking maybe I could change your mind."

Her words flowed naturally, "If so, I think I owe you a favor."

In his twenty odd years, Ian had never been in such a situation. An interior designer? He glanced at the object in his hand, at the bottom of the picture was the designer's signature and a string of numbers. Penny.

Remembering their conversations, his brows furrowed deeper. Was it all a misunderstanding?

His face darkened, he held the picture in hand, and sat back on the couch.

There was a knock on the door, Jeff's voice came from outside, "Boss, the lady's clothes are here."

Maja quickly caught on, this was probably for her.

Just as Jeff was about to knock, the door opened from inside, revealing a woman wrapped in a towel, drenched from head to toe. A shock flashed in Jeff's eyes. The meeting was suddenly interrupted, and many were curious about the woman by the boss's side. They had to know who she was, to avoid offending her.

Jeff was also clueless, hearing whispers calling the woman Mr. Raymond's wife.

He paused and quickly handed over the bag. His gaze involuntarily darted inside, catching sight of Ian sitting leisurely on the couch. His suit was slightly wrinkled, and he looked like he had just dealt with some matters.

Jeff quickly averted his gaze, hearing Maja say, "Thank you," before the door closed.
