Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 849

Even so, her face was as cool as a cucumber.

Seeing her like this, Maureen thought Ian was getting a raw deal.

"Ian's been tough as nails since he was a kid. He doesn't really spill the beans about what he needs. He's always lived in his bro's shadow, and he's used to being overlooked so that he can be a bit extreme. He shouldn't be into you; you don't deserve his affection, but right now, you're the only one who can stop him."

If it weren't for Ian, Maureen wouldn't have given this woman the time of day.

In the Raymond family, Maja was like a sitting duck.

"Maja, I've said my piece, it's your call now."

Maja didn't utter a word and she just shut the door to her office.

Then she sat in her office chair, and finally, she couldn't resist. She checked out the headquarters of the EcoTraverse Group and booked a flight for the afternoon.

Even while boarding the plane, she was still reviewing the company files.

When she landed, it was still morning here. She didn't have time to beat jet lag and dialed Ian straight away.

But Ian didn't pick up.

Maja tried Jeff next, but he was still in Greenfield, and it was already the middle of the night there.

"Sorry, Jeff, I thought you were on a business trip with him."

"Ms. Penny, the president didn't bring anyone on this trip."

Maja had no choice but to hang up.

What on earth was Ian up to? Did he really not bring anyone?

Was he really planning to sign that crazy "betting agreement"?

In fact, this wasn't really her business because, no matter what, this was Ian's choice. But the thought of him possibly losing his high and mighty position made her heartache.

With Ian's looks and abilities, he should be at the top of the heap, and he shouldn't step down from there.

If one day his career hit rock bottom, Maja would definitely feel sad. Because she knew that would be a kick in the teeth for him, he was a very proud man.

She booked a random hotel and sent Ian a text.

[Where are you?]

She was about to catch some nap, when she received a text from Beck.

[What's the deal with you and Alma?]

It's the middle of the night in Greenfield, and Beck's still up?

Maja immediately made a call and spilled the beans about Alma.

Beck listened for a while before letting out a sigh.
