Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 850

He didn't even mention the bet, yet here she was, all because of something Maureen said. What's up with that?

With a cynical laugh, Maja booked a flight ticket right away, planning to return home by afternoon. Her company had a ton of stuff waiting to be taken care of. Why the hell was she meddling with the Raymond family's business?

Back at the hotel, her head was pounding, and she felt tired just thinking about the upcoming flight.

Before boarding the plane, she skimmed through some North American news.

The latest scoop was that Ian and the CEO of EcoTraverse Group had made a bet, signed and sealed at one of North America's swankiest hotels just about fifteen minutes ago. Some photos from the event had leaked, even.

In the photos, there was a blurry, cute figure not far from the top brass.

Maja didn't linger. She shut down her phone and headed into the airport.

By the time she got back to Greenfield, she was so beaten she could barely keep her eyes open. She plopped onto her bed and slept for a whole day before she felt recharged.

Zoey called to say she was feeling better and was back on the job.

Maja sent her the reviewed documents with the instruction, "Tell Meetman to start rolling on the next one. Wilma should be able to make time, and she's still our leading lady. Also, send me Wilma's current address. I want to check on her myself."

Soon enough, Wilma's address was sent over.

Maja was hands-on when it came to the company's talents. Star Movie Group was going strong, and every talent could be a potential cash cow, none to be taken lightly.

The previous investment in Tyler had already rolled in. Two hundred million dollars was enough to produce a few more TV series.

Star Movie Group had hired a bunch of new staff, not just talents but other personnel too. It had Maja running in circles.

When she arrived at where Wilma was staying, it was already evening, and she ran into Wilma just as she was coming home.

Maja always thought of this girl as energetic, but when there was no one around her, Wilma looked pretty lonely.

"Mr. Pennyfeather?"

Wilma was clearly taken aback by her unexpected visit, her face lighting up in surprise. She quickly unlocked the door.

"Come in. Let me get you a glass of water."
