Maja thought of the blister on his finger and quickly stood up.
“Do you still have the burn ointment I gave you?”
lan opened a nearby drawer and took out the ointment.
Maja opened the tube, using the light from the bedside lamp, she took his hand and gently applied theointment.
While she was rubbing the ointment, lan watched her. From his perspective, he could see the back ofher neck, her nightgown hanging low, revealing a large area of skin marked with traces of their earlierpassion.
Now as she applied the ointment, her head was bowed. She was holding his finger carefully.
lan leaned in closer, taking in her scent.
When she finished applying the ointment, Maja looked up at him.
“Are we in big trouble now?”
He nodded, his features still sharp. He cupped her face and gently pecked at her lips.
“Eric. Before she could finish, a jolt of pain shot through her lips.
lan instantly pushed her down.
“Dylan’s teamed up with him. He wants the Raymond Corporation, and he wants you.”
Maja looked at him, her heart pounding, “And what about you?”
He slowly leaned in, gently kissing her neck, “I only want you.”
He didn’t want the Raymond Corporation.
At this moment, Maja felt a pang of self–hate for her helplessness, her eyes instantly welling up.
She slowly wrapped her arms around lan’s neck, burying her head in his chest.
lan was momentarily taken aback, after a minute of silence he asked, “Are we back together now?”
Maja didn’t say anything. He began to undress her.
“There’s still time.”
“No, um.”
By the time they finished, it was six in the morning.
lan made sure she was covered with the blanket, put on his suit, and left the bedroom, his faceinstantly becoming cold.
Jeff was waiting for him on the first floor, respectfully handing over a document.
“Mr Raymond, this is the will Eric had delivered overnight. Mr Holden’s 15% stake has conditions fortransfer, it can only be done after Eric’s death Since he’s still alive, the stake rightfully belongs to himToday, he’s going to the company as a high–ranking executive of the Raymond Corporation
Previously, the Raymond Corporation had gone through some turbulence, lan held many shares, evenwith the 15% loss, he still had absolute control
His phone began to ring, with several missed calls from his father and then Maureen, all members ofthe Raymond family
Upon hearing that Eric had appeared at the party, the other members of the Raymond family were allstirred up, some even sent lan text messages.
[You’ve been occupying his position. Now that he’s back, you should step down |
[This must be Holden’s last wish As long as Eric is alive, he is the heir to the Raymond family]novelbin
lan looked at these messages and raised an eyebrow
When he sat down on the living room sofa, Jeff placed the document in front of him.
“Mr Steve called, he’ll be home at noon and hopes to have a good talk with you and Eric”
“Understood.”
lan continued reviewing the documents in his hand, but Jeff seemed a bit flustered
Mr. Raymond, Eric seems quite determined this time.”
“Hmm.”
lan lowered his eyelashes and instructed the kitchen staff to prepare a good meal for Maja.
Jeff sighed as he watched lan, seemingly unconcerned about the Raymond Corporation.
On the other side, several higher–ups were sitting in front of Steve, their faces full of satisfaction.
“It’s great that Eric is back. His request is simple, he just wants to live with Maja. Steve, you should talkto lan about this when you get home.”
“For the sake of the bigger picture, Eric has suffered a lot mentally over the years. Since he acceptedthe mission for Maja, she could indeed help him recover to some extent. lan has a bad temper, so as
his father, you should talk to him about this.”
In front of Steve was a cup of tea. He lowered his eyelashes.
Everyone started discussing the mission from back in the day, as well as the research data.
They were completely oblivious to the fact that if lan and Maja were already together, their actionswould mean pushing lan’s girlfriend towards Eric.
No one seemed to care about whether lan agreed or not. After all, he had served in the army and wasexpected to put the greater good above personal interests.
