Female Novel
Chapter 1029
Ian was indeed waiting for Maja at that moment, as she had promised to join him for dinner at
Greenfield Gardens that day.
He had specially taken an early shift and had instructed the kitchen to start preparing while he was still
busy at work.
Once he got home, he sat on his couch, admiring the blooming flowers outside, and couldn't resist
sharing a post on Facebook.
After posting, he felt a bit embarrassed and contemplated deleting it, but the comments below stopped
him from doing so.
Was that what being in love feel like?
Every beautiful thing reminded him of her.
How much he wished that she was there beside him.
Such feelings were strange indeed.
He took out his laptop nearby and decided to work overtime while he waited for her arrival.
But it was already 7 p.m. and Maja hadn't arrived, nor had she called.
Maja was too busy that day. She had worked all night and reported back to work at 5 a.m. to continue
handling business affairs.
The new batch of employees was gradually getting the hang of things, but the company was still fresh
and taking on a quarter of Simstar Entertainment's business was a bit overwhelming. Everyone was
working overtime, and the entire building was lit up.
Maja was hands-on with every project detail, from meetings to oversight.
By the time it was evening, she felt like she was inhaling more than she was exhaling.
Her mind was clouded, and with work occupying her entirely, she had no time to think of anything else.
She continued to process the files in her drowsy state. When Zoey walked in, she pushed the
completed files towards her.
"Zoey, take note, the agents that Elvis has selected should be put to work. We can't let him shoulder
everything alone."
Apart from Maja, Elvis was the most work-obsessed in the company, even sleeping in the office
recently to be more productive.
Maja was worried about his health and had urged him several times to go home and rest.
But Elvis seemed to be in a state of self-forgetfulness. The agents he had recently promoted were
indeed capable and were already handling artists independently.
"Ms. Pennyfeather, I've already spoken to him. But with the filming for Wilma Bright's project already
wrapped up and our new drama having passed the review phase, he's not taking any chances. He's
probably hoping that this drama will catapult Wilma to stardom."
Maja fell silent. All she could do was continually improve the salary and benefits of those hardworking
employees.
She had always maintained that the company didn't value seniority or connections, only ability.
So, when the news of the year-end bonus increase reached those who had been working overtime,
they became even more fervent.
Most companies didn't pay overtime, but at Maja's, every extra minute was paid for, which motivated
the workers to give it their all.
The company's efficiency had significantly improved, and they had managed to avoid chaos despite the
newly merged business. But she was indeed busy.
It was already 8 p.m. when she passed the last file to Zoey and slumped onto her desk.
"Ms. Pennyfeather, are you alright?"
Maja was just too tired to even utter a word, but after a little pause she spoke up,
"Send the files down. Let Elvis rest a bit. If necessary, set up a rest area in his office."novelbin
"Alright, I'll talk to Mr. Elvis right now. Ms. Pennyfeather, you should rest too."
But Maja couldn't hear her anymore. Her mind was a mess, and she fell asleep on the desk within
seconds of settling down.
She was in such a deep sleep that she didn't even react to the ringing phone.
Ian had saved Zoey's number from last time, so after getting no answer from Maja, he called Zoey.
"Ms. Pennyfeather is still at work."
Hearing that, Ian didn't say a word and hung up.
Zoey stared at her phone screen in confusion, somehow sensing that he seemed upset.
