Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 43

Dana didn't expect to bump into Maja here, her eyes seemingly aflame with anger.

Because of Maja, Dana had previously made a fool of herself in front of Ian, and she was just thinking about how to win back his favor. But before she could make her move, Maja showed up again.

Maja ignored her and turned to Ian with polite attitude.

"Mr. Raymond, could I borrow some chips from you? I'll pay you back double."

Everyone watching was surprised. Sure, there were many women trying to get close to Ian tonight, but he'd been pretty aloof, seemingly uninterested in anything.

Now here was Maja striking up a conversation with him in front of everyone, which was quite unexpected.

If she was single, her intention of getting close to Ian was clear.

But she'd already mentioned that she was married. A married woman asking Ian for a loan?

That was a rather silly way to attract attention.

Ian was taken aback by Maja's request and before he could react, Tyler from beside him pushed forward half of his chips. His eyes remained gentle, but there was a hint of mockery in his gaze.

Like the other onlookers, he thought Maja's way of attracting Ian's attention was tacky.

So tacky that it was cringeworthy.

"Sounds like a good deal to me, Ms. Penny. You don't mind borrowing my chips, do you?"

Maja had decided to ask Ian for a loan only after considering her options. She didn't know anyone else at the table very well, and she was planning to work with Ian in the future.

But since someone was willing to lend her the chips, she accepted graciously, "Thank you."

Tyler didn't look at her but just gave her a slight smile.

Everyone knew that Tyler did this because he didn't want her to use this opportunity to disturb Ian.

But Maja didn't care. She got the chips and then looked at the dealer.

The dealer immediately smiled, "Now that everyone is ready, let's begin..."

"Hold up."
