Chapter 221
Maja asked, “Why are you still here this late? Isn’t Leo already home? Why isn’t he helping you?”
If he were here, she wouldn’t be bullied by some middle-aged man, Susan’s cheeks turned a light
shade of pink, and she quickly grabbed Maja’s hand
“Maja, come home with me. Your room is still there. Thanks for the last time you even called Leo back.”
She didn’t address Maja’s question,
Maja sighed, seeing her struggling with a pile of fruits all by herself.
She immediately started helping her push from behind.
“Did Leo and his wife make up after he got home?”
“No, they had a big fight. But it’s Leo’s fault. I told him to write an apology letter. His wife should forgive
him soon ”
Maja didn’t say anything. She saw lan on the steps as they passed Riverside Haven with the cart.
lan was out of his suit, wearing just a white shirt, talking to Jeff
They hadn’t been there long and were about to attend a leadership gathering.
It was now eight o’clock in the evening, and people were waiting.
As Maja helped Susan push the cart, she met lan’s eyes.
He slightly raised his eyebrows, his gaze falling on the fruits in the cart.
There were oranges, grapes, and bananas, all neatly arranged.
Maja thought she was seeing things. How could she see lan in Crystalbrook Valley?
She straightened up and saw him under the lights of Riverside Haven; all his sharp features seemed to
melt in the soft moonlight.
He didn’t have the cold seriousness he had at work; his shirt sleeves were rolled up a bit, it seemed
tonight’s gathering didn’t require much formality, so he looked relaxed.
“Mr. Raymond?”
She called out, a bit dazed.
Ian stood on the steps, Maja a few degrees below, and after a moment of thought, she said, “Mr.
Raymond, would you like an orange?”
As soon as she said this, she regretted it. She quickly waved her hands, trying to say she was just
joking. After all, how could lan eat such cheap fruit?
But lan walked down the steps and really picked up an orange from the cart
His fingers were long and perfect, making the orange look a bit ugly.
Holding the orange, he asked her, “When did you get here?”
“I just got here not long ago.”
When Susan saw lan, she disappeared as if into thin air, not daring to speak.
Seeing several leaders in suits not far away, she knew this was the important person from the last time
when the car broke down.
Ordinary people couldn’t mess with him.
But now, Maja was talking to such a person, and she was so natural.
Susan quickly grabbed a bag and quietly filled it with oranges, handing it to lan
She didn’t know how to flatter people, so she just acted
lan politely said, “One is enough, thank you.”
Susan was surprised and didn’t know how to respond, so she just looked at Maja
Maja didn’t expect lan to really come over and take an orange. Seeing he had other things to handle,
she reminded him, “Mr. Raymond, your back injury hasn’t fully healed, try to drink less later.”
lan glanced at her, softly agreed, and then walked towards the leaders with the orange
They were talking to lan, and he nodded in response.
Maja continued to push the cart, “Let’s get these fruits home; it’s already late”
Susan finally snapped out of it, her heart a bit flustered
“lan’s aura is so strong. I dare not speak in front of him.”
“Although lan is high-ranking, he’s not arrogant or rude. The incident last time was Olivia’s own fault.”
Hearing this, Susan immediately fell silent, just silently gripping the cart handle
Far away, lan holding the orange, heard one of the leaders say, “This is a special product of
Crystalbrook Valley, Mr. Raymond, you can try it.”
