She slammed her laptop shut so forcefully that she didn’t even notice she had overdone it.
Maria, standing nearby, watched her blankly for a while before asking anxiously, “Ms. Pennyfeather, areyou feeling alright? You’re looking a bit flushed.” Maja touched her own cheek, finding it indeed burninghot.
“I’m fine, Maria, go and take a rest. I don’t feel like eating tonight, and I’m off to bed.”
As she was about to enter the bathroom, Zoey sent her a work message.
[Mr. Pennyfeather, the leading actress has been confirmed. As for the leading actor, are we going witha newcomer? I’ve sent their profiles to your email. All the supporting roles are also confirmed. As soonas we decide on the leading man, we can start filming. I’ve contacted Meetman tonight, and he’s readyto start any time.]
Maja’s computer was already shut down. She had to get out of bed and turn it back on to check.
However, she was probably too tired tonight, so she replied to Zoey.
[Get some rest, too, it’s the weekend tomorrow, and everyone’s been busting their chops recently.]
[All right, Mr. Pennyfeather, goodnight.]
Maja put down her phone, her mind in turmoil.
She had a dream, a dream about her own wedding. But the groom was not lan, and she knew exactlywho he was.
Her palms were sweaty, and she felt extremely uneasy.
In her dream, she was surrounded by flowers, wine, and people’s blessings.

The grand door of the wedding venue was pushed open, and lan walked in with a group of bodyguards.
He looked at her and asked, “So what am I to you? Maja, I really don’t understand. Why does everyonelike him so much?”
His eyes were red as he said this, filled with both love and hate.
Maja woke up with a start, her forehead covered in sweat.
She turned on the bedside lamp. The deep pain from the dream seemed to have followed her intoreality.
As the light came on, the uneasy feeling gradually dissipated somewhat, but she was unable to fallasleep again.
She got up and opened the window. The wind from outside made her feel much more awake.
How could she have such a ridiculous dream?
She rubbed her temples, her head throbbing.
She hadn’t been resting well lately, plus the myriad of things at the company, she suddenly feltcompletely worn out.
After the break of dawn, she decided to go to the company.
However, at this time, the property management of RosenGarden contacted her, informing her that shehad fallen two months behind on her property fees.
Ever since her identity was exposed, Maja had barely been to RosenGarden. After paying off thearrears, she entrusted the property management to sell
the house.
Since she no longer lived there, she figured she might as well sell the place.
What she didn’t expect was that in the afternoon, the property management called, saying someonewanted to buy her house, and they needed to sign the contract today because they were about to startworking here.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, are you free now? The buyer has recently changed jobs and has been looking athouses in this area, but there are currently no other homeowners selling. She really likes your house.”
Maja didn’t hesitate and agreed, immediately driving to RosenGarden and also called a movingcompany to move all her stuff out.
When Maja handed over the keys to the stranger, her eyes were filled with satisfaction.

“Thank you very much, I’m really grateful. I’ve been looking for a house in this area. Thank you forgiving me this opportunity. I wish you a happy life, and I’ll move my furniture in as soon as possible.”
This was the quickest transaction Maja had ever been through.
But two hours later, just as she was about to sit down for a meal at a restaurant, the propertymanagement called, informing her that there was a problem.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, you’d better come and see for yourself!”
Maja frowned, initially thinking the new owner had committed suicide in the house.
When she arrived at the scene, the woman who was so happy in the afternoon was now sitting on thesofa crying, and there were several police officers in the room.
Maja was not yet clear about what had happened. “What’s going on?”
The new owner looked at her, full of anger.
“I knew it, and no one would sell their house so easily. You had ulterior motives! As a woman, I thinkyou’re disgusting!“/
Mája frowned, realizing her emotional state was unstable, so she asked the police.
“What exactly happened?”
The policeman pointed at the ceiling. Maja looked up and found that half of the ceiling had fallen off,revealing over twenty cameras inside, densely packed, like countless eyes staring at her.
She felt chills down her spine and took a few steps back in fear.
The police began to explain.
“This lady accidentally knocked down the chandelier while moving furniture. When the workers wereinstalling a new chandelier, they found a camera in the wall where the chandelier was. They knocked ahole in the wall and found a bunch of cameras inside. You’re the previous owner. Do you knowanything about this?”
Maja’s mind was in turmoil, and she felt extremely nauseous.
Seeing the cameras above, she even felt her trypophobia was about to kick in. Who was it? Who didthis?
Seeing her state, the police immediately brought her a cup of water to drink.
But Maja couldn’t drink, she only felt tremendous fear, so she ran to the bathroom and threw up.novelbin
