Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1212

At eleven in the evening, a woman left the towering skyscraper, but it wasn't Maja. It was her assistant.

Wind stood in the shadows, planning to wait until the next day.

Unaware of him, Zoey entered the waiting car and instantly felt an air of oppression around her.

A man sat in the back seat, lightly tapping his fingers on a book resting on his knee.

It was her turn to keep him company tonight, but she really wanted to work overtime at the office. Unfortunately, her work was done.

The man glanced in Wind's direction, then withdrew his gaze, tugging slightly at the corners of his mouth.

He made a quick call, then abruptly pulled Zoey towards him.

"To your place?"

He was asking her, but his tone left no room for refusal.

Zoey was living in the same complex as other artists from the company. She was worried about being seen and quickly shook her head.

"No."

The man raised an eyebrow, his tone indifferent, "Then we'll go to a hotel."

He had specifically booked a presidential suite, to pamper her.

Zoey didn't dare say anything, hoping that Maja would call her at this moment.

Perhaps her prayers were effective, as her phone began to ring. It was indeed Maja, asking if she had finished work and could deliver a document to Greenfield Gardens.

Zoey's eyes lit up, and she felt revitalized.

"Alright, Ms. Pennyfeather, I'm on my way."

She immediately turned to the man beside her, "I'm sorry, Mr. Pennyfeather needs a document. I have to deliver it."

The man simply leaned back, "It won't affect us."

Zoey's complexion paled instantly. She wanted to leave on her own, but if she angered him, her night would be even worse.

She dared not say anything, watching helplessly as the driver headed towards Greenfield Gardens.

Her heart pounded, not wanting Maja to find out about her relationship with this man.

When they were two hundred meters from Greenfield Gardens, she couldn't hold back any longer.

"Stop the car."

Her body stiff, she didn't dare to look at the man, and under enormous pressure, she said, "Just drop me here. I'll come back after delivering the documents."

The man seemed to know what she was thinking. He snorted lightly, but said nothing.

Zoey quickly got out of the car, clutching her purse and ran towards the gates of Greenfield Gardens.

It wasn't until she was led into the villa by a servant that she finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she still felt a piercing gaze following her.

But she really didn't want to do it with him anymore. He was not gentle in bed at all. Each time it was a torment, and he even used their affair to humiliate her ruthlessly.

Now just seeing him filled her with fear.

Maja entered Ian's study.

The study was large. Her desk and Ian's were next to each other, a recent rearrangement.

What used to be a single-person study was now shared, but it didn't feel crowded at all.

Ian was in a meeting overseas. When he saw Maja leading Zoey in, he was surprised.

Zoey pretended not to notice his gaze, obediently sitting next to Maja.

With her assistance, Maja worked quickly.

Ian's phone rang, and he had muted his microphone. Seeing the incoming call, he stepped out onto the balcony to answer.

The man on the other end asked, "Is she still there?"

Ian stood on the balcony, glancing inside to see Zoey clinging to Maja like a frightened bird, clearly seeking protection.

He leaned against the wall, chuckling, "You must have scared her quite a bit."

A cold voice came from the other end.

"She's a bit disobedient."
