Maja nodded, pondered for a moment, and still asked, “Do you guys know the owner of that cherrywood flooring shop?”
Daly’s current job isn’t too shabby, and he works in a legit company. Although the pay isn’t great, heknows quite a few people.
“I’ll ask around for you and let you know if I find anything.”
With that, Maja finally relented and returned to her hotel.
She was planning to take a bath and hit the sack.
But after her bath, she found a huge bug on her bed and immediately chickened out. She spent thenight dozing off on a chair in her clothes, which made her neck ache like hell
The next morning, she woke up to a text from Daly saying that Mr. James and his gang were headingover to that place tonight
I’ve talked to Mr. James. He’ll pick you up.]
After having some com soup and eggs benedict, Maja waited outside her hotel.
The first car that arrived was a run-of-the-mill one, not worth over twenty grand.
Following it was a Rolls Royce. Maja Instantly recognized it as lan’s ride.
No way!
Just as she was thinking this, Mr. James got out of the car and ushered Maja over to the Rolls Royce.
Maja’s previous artwork had greatly pleased Mr. Raymond, and she had ridden in Mr. Raymond’s carbefore.
As the car window rolled down, lan’s face came into view.
Even here, his lap was piled high with documents.
He was wearing an expensive Patek Philippe on his wrist. His hands were slim and exquisite, and theveins on his hands were clearly visible His hands were as captivating as his face.

The car jolted a little, and Maja saw the orange about to roll off. She quickly reached out to catch it
At that moment, lan also reached out, and their fingertips touched for a brief moment.
One hand was cold, the other hot.
Maja looked up in surprise and saw lan’s frown. He probably didn’t expect this, either.
Maja quickly withdrew her hand and brought up a topic to break the awkward silence, “Mr. Raymond,how’s your back injury?”
Because she pulled back her hand, the orange fell to the ground.
Aslan bent over to pickup the orange. Maja remembered his injury and that the movement might hurthis wound. She quickly put a hand on his shoulder.
