She saw a new message pop up on her screen from that man
[Should I come in?]

Maja attempted to see her out, but was stopped by lan who had just entered the room.
“Someone’s escorting her home. No need to fret over her”
Maja finally sat down again.
lan walked to her side Seeing she had already completed her work, he gently pushed her back into herchair.
Maja tilted her head to avoid his kiss
“I feel like Zoey’s hiding something. I need to check on her”

But going out to meet him? That would be hard to explain to lan
As she was caught in her indecision, lan took her phone and called Patric
Patric, unaware that it was lan calling, answered immediately

“If there’s anything in the future, discuss it with me.”
Hearing lan’s voice, Patric felt a surge of rage well up inside him
“Oh? Even the stuff about sex?”
fan pulled Maja into his arms, responding to Patric with her right there.
“You’ve only slept with her once What’s there to be proud of? I’ve been with her for so long and I don’tflaunt it. Eric, your tactics seem to have gotten pretty low–class since you’ve been back”

Steve raised his hand to block the light, intuitively knowing who was behind this.

lan had already pushed Maja back onto the bed, kissing her passionately
“Don’t let his words shake you!”
