Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1342

If she kept knocking, there was a real chance he would wake up.

Maja, clad in his clothes, snatched up his mask and slipped it over her face.

She had donned platform boots before she came in, to match his height.

Her steps were heavy, but to pull off her escape impersonating him, she had to be seamless.

She had just straightened her attire when Agent 003 was about to knock again, and she swung the door open.

003, seeing the masked figure, quickly bowed her head in submission.

"Augus has jetted back to North America and hit up the underground fight clubs. I think he's got some kind of deal with Ian. Are we gonna sit this one out, Mr. K?"

Maja shut the door behind her and strode past her.

003 was puzzled by the silent treatment but knew better than to press him.

"Augus got a few scrapes tussling with our guys this time around."

Maja kept walking, offering no response.

"I get it, Mr. K. You're heading over to the Sanders’ place, aren't you?"

She hit the nail on the head for Maja.

Maja nodded, stepped through the lounge door, and climbed into the car parked outside.

003 found his silence unusual tonight but smartly took the driver's seat without a word.

Maja, outwardly composed but inwardly buzzing with nerves, watched the car slowly roll forward.

She was sweating bullets, worried Mr. K would wake up too soon, someone would notice something off about her, or the security wouldn't let her through.

But with 003 driving, the guards didn't even bother to question them.

The car wound down the mountain road, and by the time they'd passed the iron gates, Maja’s blood was pumping with excitement.

This gamble of impersonating K was risky, but so far, her luck held.

The mountainous road stretched on for over three hours.

"I told you, I'm not as stupid as 002. No houses for miles, it's a perfect place for murder."

Suddenly, her palm screamed in pain.

Maja had plunged a fruit knife through it.

"Funny, 003, I was thinking the same thing."

003 paled, disbelief etched on her face.

Maja wriggled into the front seat, stabbing 003’s shoulder twice more before kicking open the car door and sending her tumbling out.

003 lay on the ground, baffled about how Maja got the knife and why she was so quick. Did she know about the murder attempt?

Maja, now in the driver's seat, looked down at the figure sprawled below her.

"Things went too smoothly. Mr. K's too sharp to surround himself with idiots. You were the one watching when 002 tortured me, right? I could always feel someone watching. You hid it better than she did, but when you cut her hamstring, your move was swift and merciless. I didn't see any hesitation."

"Maja, can you see now?"
