Chapter 45

Maja wasn’t fazed by the sarcasm at all. She looked up at him and couldn’t help but burst into laughter

“Mr Gallegos, I’ve already made it crystal clear that I’m married There’s no need to get all riled up and

spiteful just because I turned down your advances, is there?” Her voice was clear and cool, echoed

around them, and followed by a few snickers from the crowd

Kurt’s face instantly turned a shade of purple and his fists clenched.

“You’re saying I pursued you?”

Maja arched an eyebrow, a look of feigned helplessness on her face

The silence now was more powerful than any words. She didn’t need to say anything more, she just let

the onlookers draw their own conclusions.

ndeed, it was Kurt who had brought her here initially, and it was only after hearing that Maja was

married that his attitude suddenly chilled.

Was he badmouthing her just because he couldn’t have her?

Though Maja’s behavior might be a little odd, but to target a woman just because she rejected him was

going a bit too far.

Curt was losing face big time. His fingers were trembling. He had underestimated this woman. She

knew how to play the crowd!

his circle loved a good spectacle, and he could feel the stares on him becoming more and more

Intense.

Amid the silence. Dana sneered, an expression of utter disdain on her face.

Mr. Gallegos could have his pick of any beauty. Why on earth would he fall for a flighty woman like

you?! Talk about delusions of grandeur!”

Maja looked at Dana with a look of confusion in her eyes. “Who are you?”

Jana’s face stiffened

the didn’t believe for a second that Maja didn’t know who she was. Such an act!

irst, Kurt was rude to her, then Maja played innocent, timing everything perfectly. From the start, Dana

had been extremely hostile towards her, every word filled with provocation, but she never once

responded to

lana

ut Dana kept hurling insults time and time again. An outsider would think they had some deep–seated

grudge.

he crowd turned their attention back to Dana. If she didn’t know Maja, why was she so furious?

ana realized she had screwed up. Everyone present was someone of importance, all of them would

want to collaborate with the Raymond Corporation. After all, lan had just returned to the country, and

there were ound to be new business opportunities.

he didn’t want to draw attention and affect the Raymond Corporation’s business.

1 the eyes of these elite gentlemen, women were typically just accessories. Many men had brought

dates tonight, all obediently playing their supporting roles, none daring to be as brazen as Maja.

espite under everyone’s attention, Maja didn’t seem affected at all..

aught in a bind, Dana pointed at Maja recklessly, “You’re saying you don’t know me?! We met at

Raymond Tower last time, aren’t you Mr. Raymond’s designer?!”

lo sooner had the words left her mouth than lan’s brows furrowed:

ana’s words not only failed to expose Maja’s lies but they also directly informed everyone that she was

the designer for lan’s house.

his gave a reasonable explanation for her initial request to borrow money from lan

o, it wasn’t about trying to seduce him; they had known each other all along.

ana wasn’t too bright. Didn’t she just help her out?

laja found it amusing, a slight smile curling up at the corners of her mouth, “Ah, It’s Ms. Shepard.”

Dana was so startled by the statement that she nearly choked on her own breath
