Maja was in the hallway, bending over to take off her high heels, when suddenly the lights in the living
room dimmed, and someone pushed her against the door.
“Another girl delivered to my doorstep?”
A man’s voice rang in her ear, causing her pupils to shrink.
What the heck was lan doing in her room?
She was about to retort when two fingers were shoved into her mouth, gripping her tongue.
“Mmm mmm.”
Still bent over, trying to take off her shoes, she was now forced to stand straight, unable to turn around,
her skirt flipping up.
Maja struggled in vain. Did lan mistake her for a girl delivered to his door?
Right, with so many business partners at the event tonight, such incidents had probably happened
often before.
Her tongue hurt from the grip, and she couldn’t utter a word.
That jerk!
lan had her pinned firmly against him, a smirk playing on his lips.
She walked into the wrong room. Who else could she blame?

“Playing coy when you’ve practically delivered yourself to me?”
Maja was on the verge of cursing, her chest heaving, her tongue still held captive, unable to retort.

something.

seemed to set her alight.

“One million. Is that enough?”

cards must have been arranged by Grandpa Holden.

a couch in a corner for a few nights.
Damn lan!
She was so annoyed, but the cold wind outside helped calm her down, and she decided to go to the
deck and enjoy the view.

film and television industry to get acquainted with.
Feeling the wind outside, Maja felt much better. Just as she was about to go back to the couch, she
was suddenly shoved hard by a hand.
Caught off guard, she was pushed over the railing and fell into the river, leaving her high heels on the
deck.
Carlene sneered and kicked the high heels down.

“It’s a woman! Quick, the lifebuoy!”

thrown down.
