Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 528

Zoey hit up Maja after she woke up, telling her that she'd signed a contract with EliteEdge Consortium.

With contracts from Silverstone Enterprises and EliteEdge Consortium for the next six months, the Pennyfeather group's operations shouldn't be too rough. The real headache, though, was the fact that the company's top management was still up in the air.

Maja had gone through the candidates' profiles over and over again. They were all young, but beyond their resumes, she knew nothing about them.

"Ms. Pennyfeather, we're about to jump into a bidding war along with several other companies," Zoey said. "It's a project green-lighted by the former CEO a year ago, aiming to beef up the Pennyfeather group and add more production lines. The bid's about a development on the east side of the city, and it's kicking off tomorrow. I thought you might not be in the loop, so I’m just giving you a heads up."

Back when Neil was calling the shots, he was all about expanding the company.

Since they'd already committed to the bid, even if Maja wasn't keen on adding more production lines right now, she'd have to show her face at the bidding.

"Ms. Pennyfeather, I've sent you the info on the other companies involved in the bid."

Maja booted up her computer, and the EverBest Group, belonging to the Shepard family, popped up. They were in the real estate business, so their involvement in the bid was a no-brainer.

Zoey added a note in the email: "Since we're locking horns with the EverBest Group in this bid, and given that Carlene spilled the beans about her plan to take over our company last time, I'm guessing there'll be quite a crowd at the bid. They'll probably want to see what happens when our two companies cross paths again."

"Zoey, you to in my place."

Zoey agreed.

After breakfast, Maja got a call from Silverstone Enterprises.

The Greenfield Gardens project was moving along smoothly. However, during Maja's last site visit, she floated the idea of designing an art studio on the second floor. The construction workers asked her if she wanted to change the second floor's design or stick with the original plan.

On this issue, Ian hadn't given Maja a straight answer yet.

Maja rang up Ian to get his take.

But he didn't pick up.

Frowning, Maja dialed him up again.

The moment the call connected, he hung up.

Clearly, Ian was ducking her calls on purpose.

Maja took a deep breath, and then her phone pinged with a new message.

It was from Ian.

[Call me on your private number.]

Looking at the message, Maja found it rather amusing.
