Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 709

Maja's eyes were deep and thoughtful just as the elevator doors slid open.

Murray, with his arm around the lady's waist, said, "We're at the top floor now. We might run into the big boss of this company. Brace yourself. We're just here to deliver lunch, then we're out of here."

Zoey's workstation was right on this floor. At this moment, all eyes on the floor were on them since it was break time.

The lady cooled down, vented a few complaints, and followed behind Murray.

Zoey spotted Murray right away and hurried over.

"Murray."

Just as Murray was about to respond, Zoey turned to Maja.

"Mr. Pennyfeather, I've put the documents you need for the afternoon on the conference room table. Once you've reviewed them, I'll distribute them to upper management."

Maja nodded, catching a glimpse of the lady's face turning sour and Murray's embarrassment.

He frowned nervously, "Zoey, she's your friend?"

Zoey quickly introduced, "This is our company's CEO, my direct boss. Murray, did you guys come up together?"

Thinking about the possibility that Maja might have overheard his conversation with his mom and even seeing him getting cozy with Evelyn at the art exhibition, Murray felt uneasy.

Even the lady felt awkward and stayed silent.

Zoey felt the strange tension and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Maja laughed, "Nothing. Zoey, is this your fiancé?"

Zoey nodded sweetly, a bit embarrassed. After all, it was Murray's first time delivering lunch to her workplace.

"Yes, Mr. Pennyfeather. If they're bothering anyone, I'll have them leave right away."

"No need."

Maja's gaze landed on the lady. Her present embarrassment was in stark contrast to her earlier bravado.

She hadn't expected this young woman to be the CEO of this huge company, and she had even overheard her belittling Zoey.

She felt a bit uneasy, knowing Zoey was a competent worker, and her son hadn't completely won over Evelyn yet. Whether he could become the son-in-law of the Farley family was still up in the air.

So, she decided to keep Zoey on her side, which was why she agreed to accompany them today. She wanted to use this opportunity to make Zoey more reliant on her son.

But now, with Maja present, her plan couldn't be carried out, and she wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Maja, however, said, "Let them go to the lounge nearby, don't stand here. I could use a cup of coffee."
