Chapter 227

When Maja showed up, she had hitched a ride with lan. She had no due how shed get back if he didnt

stick around.

So, hearing that, she quickly nodded. “Sure”

Fannie saw the two of them chatting and sitting way too close for her long, i

Maja had no choice but to back off.

Her words were sharp and even belittled Maja right in front of her

Maja had a favor to ask. Felton, so she let

In the heavy silence, tan picked up the conversation. Penny also graduated from Arcadia School of

Modern Art

This revelation left Fannie red-faced. She hadn’t expected this woman to be an alumna too

Her smile became stift, clearly pissed off

“Tan, what’s the deal? We haven’t seen each other in three years, and you’re taking tome outsider’s

side?” She whined, shaking his arm,

lan remained expressionless, only raising an eyebrow lazily. He didn’t seem to be scolding Fannie at all

Seeing this, Felton chuckled helplessly. “She’s always been this impolite. She’s going to get herself in

trouble sooner or late lan, good thing: you’re married. Otherwise, she’d latch onto you and never let

go.”

“No, it doesn’t matter whether lar’s mamed or not. If he really liked that woman, he wouldn’t have left

for three years. If that woman had any sense, she’d divorce him and stop clinging to him”

Healing this, Maja’s lips twitched. She wasn’t mad, just amused.

Fannie realized she had crossed the line and deflated a bit. “Ah, whatever, far, stick around for dinner

tonight.”

Felton had already invited lan to try some wild game, so he agreed.

“Mr. Felton, sorry for the intrusion.”

Felton didn’t really want to deal with Fannie anymore. After all, she had been crushing on lan for a long

time.

“Fannie, go get lan and Penny some coffee.”

Fannie shot Maja a dirty look, reluctantly let go of lan’s arm, and went to make the coffee.

lan settled down on the loveseat next to Maja. There wasn’t room for a third person

Fannie came over with the tray and, seeing the two of them sharing the loveseat, got pissed off again.

But she had just overstepped, so she bit her tongue and set the coffee in front of them.

The aroma of Blue Mountain coffee filled the air, uplifting everyone’s mood.

Maja heard him ask “Did you sort out the flooring issue?”

“Yeah, Mr. Felton promised to let me know as soon as someone cancels their order”

tan wanted to grab his coffee, and so did Maja.

Farine’s face had darkened considerably when she brought over the coffees. Normally, she’d place one

coffee on the left and one on the right. The person on the left would take the left coffee, and the person

on the right would take the right coffee

But Fannie didn’t like Maja, so she set the coffees down one in front of the other

Right then, lan and Maja both reached out for the same coffee, their fingertips brushing against each

other

This wasn’t the first time something like this had happened in the past few days

When their fingers touched, they both froze.

lans hand was slender, and he quickly retracted it, his brow furrowing slightly

Maja also found the situation awkward and immediately said, “Mr. Raymond, after you.”

Fannie was sitting on the couch opposite them, watching everything unfold. She was seething, ready to

blow her top

She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she felt odd tension between them. Even though she was

right there, she felt completely left out of

their interaction.
