Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 559

Ian was parked in the boss chair at the Raymond Corporation, with his sidekick Jeff briefing him on the meetings lined up for the week.

"We've been shooting Tyler's script for a month now, about a third done. The Raymond Corporation has been getting loads of investment offers from directors. Boss, I've sorted out a few decent deals for you to check out."

Jeff dumped a heap of files on Ian's desk. Ian flipped through a few pages, then put them down and asked, "Did you send off those shoes I bought? Did she say thank you or anything?"

"She got them, I made sure the delivery guy left them at her front door. But she wasn't home, so the shoes ended up in her storage locker."

The storage locker was pretty big, which was meant for mail and deliveries. Most people check it daily when they get home.

Ian was fuming, but quickly cooled off. Whatever. Their deal was done, and he didn't really care about her anyway. From then on, they'd be nothing to each other.

Late in the afternoon, Maja got something from the Raymond family, a ticket to a luxury cruise.

The butler made a point to tell her, "Ms. Pennyfeather, Grandpa Holden wants you to chill out a bit. This is the fanciest cruise party in all of Greenfield, setting sail tonight and cruising the river for three days. It's a who's who of business bigwigs and A-list celebrities. Grandpa Holden reckons it might help you out."

The night before, Maja had mentioned her interest in film investment while on the phone with Holden Raymond. In film investment, it's all about the connections.

But the Star Movie group was fresh out of connections and the higher-ups were scrambling to invest in short films. Over the past month, most had made a tidy profit, but a few had flopped. Building connections took time, and if she wasn't leading the charge, how could she guide them?

Now, Holden was serving up an opportunity to network on a silver platter.

"Please tell Grandpa Holden I'm grateful."

The butler gave a small smile, and then pulled out a fancy gift box, "This is a dress Grandpa Holden picked out for you. Just flown in from overseas this morning, one of a kind. It's a gift for you."

The old man had really treated her well. Maja had no regrets about their three-month deal. It was the least she could do for him.

The butler added, "Grandpa Holden also said you're going as Herbert's protégé. If you don't want to claim the Raymond family name, you don't have to let anyone know who you really are. It'll make things easier when you leave in two months."

Holden had really thought of everything. Maja thanked the butler profusely.

Before he left, he added, "A driver from Rosewood Manor will be here to take you to your destination soon. The makeup team will also be here shortly."

Maja waited about fifteen minutes at Rosewood Manor. The top-tier makeup team was right on time. She had her makeup done while going over some documents with Zoey.
