Maja was all set to head to Crystalbrook Valley right after wrapping up negotiations with the suppliers.
Out of the blue, she received calls from several collaborating companies. The tone of the conversation
was full of hesitation.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, we’re terribly sorry, but we’ve received sudden notice and we can’t proceed with
your order. You might wanna find another company.”
“But…”
Maja wanted to ask what was going on, but the line went dead before she could get a word in.
In total, she received four calls, all cancelling their orders.
Maja sat there, frowning.
Samuel had been a thorn in her side, leading to her collaboration with Silver getting canned. Silver had
been pestering her ever since, but she had no intention of meeting him. She just wanted the police to
sort out the mess.
Samuel was no longer getting in her way and had handed Silverstone Enterprises over to her.
Everything should’ve gone smoothly, especially considering her recent pleasant interactions with the
suppliers. What on earth had gone wrong then? Where did the hiccup occur?
Maja was clueless. Suddenly, the chat group in her studio started buzzing. Maxwell asked her if she
had pissed off someone. Maja replied – what do you mean?
Maxwell messaged her.
[Several designers in the studio have had their orders cancelled and they were told explicitly that it was
because of you. They want you to leave the studio and give up on the Greenfield Gardens order.]
This was way worse than what Samuel had done. Now, the entire studio was being affected.
Maja wasn’t exactly on good terms with her colleagues in the studio. Now, with their orders getting
cancelled because of her, they were probably grumbling about her.
[Maja, I’ve fired Kim. Heard she got arrested by the police and has to cough up a hefty fine.]
Speaking of Kim, a name popped up in Maja’s mind, Maureen.
If she had offended anyone recently, it had to be Maureen..
And Rita had spoken those words in front of Maureen.
In Maureen’s eyes, she must seem like a two–timing bitch trying to get close to lan and Ryan because
of their looks.
Maureen has always been strict with her son and has high hopes for lan. Naturally, she wouldn’t want
these two men to be influenced by a designer.
Realizing this, Maja let out a bitter smile.
Even though she had Maureen’s number, Maureen probably wasn’t in the mood to listen to her
explanation.
Even if she wanted to explain, she couldn’t really clear the air about her situation with lan.
Based on what she knew about Maureen, although she came from a wealthy family, she never used
her status to bully people. After hearing Rita’s words, she might have confirmed her suspicions with
others before taking these measures.
Maja was now caught between a rock and a hard place.
If she approached lan, it would make her look incompetent, especially considering the issue arose
because of her.
But who else could she turn to?
Who could convince Maureen?
She definitely couldn’t approach Ryan. Rita despised her at the moment and if Rita found out she was
in touch with Ryan, it would stir up another hornet’s nest.
Maja felt a headache coming on. She had no idea how she had landed herself in this mess.
Maybe she really needed to go to church and pray this year.
After much thought, the only person she could think of was lan.
Jan had a social event that night. He had a few drinks and instead of going back to Rosewood Manor,
he checked into a hotel. Jeff drove off, planning to pick him up the next morning.
lan took out his phone and start to work.
As he hung up a call, he accidentally saw the picture that Ryan had sent him. It was the painting that
Maja had drawn.
He couldn’t deny it, the painting had really touched him.
Her drawing skills were impressive. She had depicted a lively scene using just black and white.
lan always had a soft spot for art and often attended art exhibitions, so he could tell the artist was
skilled just by looking at the painting.
He also recalled the night he ran into her at Crystalbrook Valley. She was painting under the lights, all
by herself.
Maybe it was the alcohol, but his mind started wandering.
As the elevator doors opened, he saw Maja standing there.
Maja was holding a thermos. She had gone back to Rosewood Manor and found out that lan wasn’t
going back that night. So, she made some soup and brought it over.
Even though lan had told her before that she didn’t need to bring him soup, she was here to ask for
help, so she had to show sincerity.
“Mr. Raymond.”
Maja called out obediently and stood straight.
As lan approached her, she caught a whiff of alcohol on him.
It was similar to the Roman Conti he had in the private room that night, mixed with other strong liquor.
The moment lan saw her, he no longer resisted her as before, and walked to the door silently. “What’s
up?”
