Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 936

Chapter 936

After Omar took off, Cornelia was quick to dial up Maja.

"Ms. Pennyfeather, you need to keep an eye on the Casson family, especially that Omar. He claims he’s going to continue to bug you for what Mr.

Raymond did to Alma. He's a low-down dirty player, not your average Joe."

Despite burning the midnight oil at work, Maja didn't bat an eyelid hearing this.

She knew the score with Omar; he's brash, so ballsy he'd shoot someone in broad daylight, which showed he didn't have a lick of respect for the law or morality.

"Gotcha, Cornelia. Be careful yourself, don't rub elbows with that kind too much."

Maja hung up and checked the time; it was already eight in the evening.

She hadn't had dinner yet. She called up the pet hospital to check if Coco was on the mend before letting out a sigh of relief.

With work up to her eyeballs and figuring out how to deal with Simstar Entertainment, she totally spaced on her promise to meet lan tonight.

Back at Rosewood Manor, Maria was still bellyaching about lan's behavior.

"How could Mr. Raymond fancy a woman like that?"

lan had Darlene escorted out of Rosewood Manor last time, and with Coco still at the vet's, Maria was still stewing about it.

And then thinking about Maja being married to him for three years, even though they're divorced now, it's a kick in the teeth that anyone can now push Rosewood Manor around. Maria felt it was a raw deal for Maja.

But Maria was all bark, no bite, didn't bring it up in front of Maja, and didn't want to upset her.

Maja was in her study, dealing with company matters, and was about to call a meeting when she saw Shawn's flight information for tonight in the company chat group. He'd be here in half an hour.

Shawn had been shooting abroad for over a month, about time he came back.

Inside the Star Movie Group chat, Zoey asked, "Should we throw a welcome-back party for Shawn tonight? After all, it's his first time back after being in Hollywood"

Wilma was quick to chime in, “I'm in!"

Since Star Movie Group was established, everyone's been run ragged. Wilma just finished shooting PHOENIX and was giving her all to the company's current production. Next, she'd be off to Hollywood to play her part. Tonight was a rare night off for everyone.

Then Zoey added, "I called Shawn before he boarded, he said he wanted to grab a bite."

So, everyone in the chat started asking Maja for her opinion.

Maja didn't want to rain on their parade, so she recommended a bar.

Not BlueSky Bar. Even though it's members only, the minimum spend there was upwards of five grand. So, everyone in the group was quick to agree.

"Ms. Pennyfeather's a big spender!"

Cornelia was about to join a Hollywood film crew. She sat next to Shawn, hoping to get some pointers.

After a few words with Cornelia, Shawn's gaze landed on Maja, sitting all by herself in a corner.

The look of love was hard to hide.

But Maja was the most collected and stable of the group. Perhaps she didn't want her status to affect their mood, so she called over the manager, paid for the drinks, and sat quietly in the corner.

Shawn mustered the courage, picked up a glass of wine, and walked over to Maja.

"Ms. Pennyfeather, thank you for this opportunity."

Maja paused for a few seconds, then raised her glass, smiled, and said, "No need to be so formal."

Shawn took a few sips of his wine. Seeing her quietly sipping hers, he sat down next to her.

Zoey pretended not to notice. As Maja's assistant, she was responsible for looking after everyone.

Because Wilma was the most bubbly, talkative, and youngest in the group, everyone treated her like a little sister.

Zoey poured Wilma a few glasses of juice, then saw a tipsy Wilma leaning into Elvis.

Zoey looked at the bottle of juice in her hand, walked over, and pulled Wilma away, Wilma was still playing drunk. Zoey said, "At least have some booze first before playing drunk, I've been pouring you juice! Doesn't Elvis know?"
