Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 277

Ian's hands in front of her were clean, slender, and his nails were neatly trimmed. They looked pretty appealing.

But beneath that elegant exterior, it seemed like a beast was dancing at the sharp tips of his fingers, icy and full of potential danger.

Maja instinctively took a step back, but his other hand had already reached out, landing on the wall behind her.

She was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Maja nervously leaned against the wall, but her attempt to create distance didn't work.

His two hands had already blocked her way out.

She nervously swallowed, not daring to look at him.

In this standoff, as a woman, she seemed to be at a disadvantage.

To an outsider, it looked like he tightly surrounded her.

The tense atmosphere was enough to make your head spin, but Maja had to stay sober because the person across from her was Ian.

She couldn't have any relationship with Ian.

Just then, her phone rang, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere, and she sighed in relief.

Seeing the caller ID showed Nathan, a glimmer of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She wasn't fond of Nathan calling her for no reason before, but now, this call came just in time.

Ian obviously saw the name on her phone; his lips tightened slightly as he watched her happily answer the call; even her body wasn't as stiff as before, as if the call was her lifesaver.

He slowly withdrew his hand, hearing her say, "You got a promotion? Okay, I got it; I’ll be right back."

Nathan indeed got a promotion, and after a long period of consideration, he finally decided to call her.

If it weren't for Maja saving face for him, waiting for him in the hall, this promotion opportunity might not have come his way.

He wanted to treat her to dinner, even though he knew she might not care.

Nathan had other thoughts, like developing a real relationship with Maja.

Since Maja agreed so quickly, he immediately made a reservation at the restaurant.

Maja repeated the name of the restaurant and then hung up the call.
