Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 29

Maja apologized too quickly. Conversations with this woman always felt suffocating.

"Mr. Raymond, I'm going to conduct a site inspection first, and then we can discuss the design plans. If you're satisfied, I'll proceed with the renovation team."

Ian nodded, not giving her a second glance. Maja accidentally bumped into a woman carrying a cup of coffee as she left the office. Maja stepped aside to make way, but the woman, dressed extravagantly with a full face of makeup, deliberately tripped Maja, causing the coffee to spill all over her light-colored professional outfit.

Frowning, Maja looked at the woman, who clearly lacked acting skills. The woman raised her eyebrows, pretending to be surprised, and covered her mouth.

"Oh my, I'm so sorry. Miss, let me find some wipes to clean it up for you."

Maja glanced at the woman's ID badge and saw her name was Dana Shepard. A member of the Shepard family? Maja suspected she might be connected to Ian's past.

Dana expected Maja to brush off the incident politely after her insincere apology. However, Maja stood her ground and smiled.

"Sure, please find some wipes to clean it up."

Dana's expression changed, thinking she might have misheard. She had purposely fetched a dark coffee, anticipating it would not easily wipe off Maja's clothes once spilled. She hadn't expected this response.

Nervously, Dana stammered, "The wipes might not be sufficient."

"Well, then find an alternative solution. Or perhaps you could order a suitable outfit for me online. I have important work to do and no time to go home and change."

Dana's face darkened. Did this woman lack social awareness?

Onlookers observed the spectacle. Some were entertained by the situation, while others whispered amongst themselves. A new intern, Dana, displayed arrogance due to her connection with the Shepard family.
