Chapter 56

She was once again showing Luis around the exhibits, and he seemed to be increasingly satisfied with

her explanation

Inviting Maja over today also had the Intention of introducing her to some connections.

“Do you know Daniel from EliteEdge Consortium? His son is also into design and pretty well known,

about your age. I could introduce you guys, you’ll be in the same circle after all and have common

topics What do you think?”

Maja was about to refuse, but then she heard Luis add, “Speaking of which, Samuel, are you also here

to see the exhibition today?”

Maja followed his gaze, and indeed, there was Samuel not far away

His face was back to normal, and he came over with a smile, “If you told me earlier that you were

coming, I would’ve definitely been your guide”

Samuel looked at the Maja beside him, his eyes sparkling

“The designer Luis found, is it Penny”

“Yep, that’s her”

Samuel walked up to Maja “Including lan’s time, you’ve poached two of my projects, seems like we’re

really destined.”

Maja frowned slightly, then heard Luis say, “You young people have more common topics when you

chat. I’ve already seen all the paintings I wanted to see today. Samuel, take good care of Ms. Penny for

me, remember to be considerate”

Samuel chuckled After Luis left, he put away his smile.

“Wanna grab something to eat later?”

Maja thought he was really thick–faced, not mentioning what just happened earlier, clearly wanting to

forget about it.

Her gaze fell somewhere on him, her eyes scornful.

“You’re okay now? That was fast

These words had no other meaning, but saying them out loud could easily cause misunderstanding.

Samuel leaned in closer and said flirtatiously.

“Whether I’m okay or not, why don’t you see for yourself?”

Before Maja could speak, a young woman’s voice came from the side.

“Hey, it is you!”

The voice was impatient, the girl crossed her arms, looking at Maja’s simple clothes.

There were no brand logos on her clothes, she didn’t seem like a person with a background.

“Did you steal my bracelet just now? Hand It over now, or I will call the police.”

As the gig spoke, she kept looking at Samuel, her eyes flickering. When her gaze fell on Maja, it

became harsh.

Maja frowned, was this Samuel’s pursuer?

“What bracelet?”

“Don’t play dumb, it’s a bracelet I bought today. Only you have been in contact with me since morning,

who else could it be? That bracelet of mine ls worth 300,000, I can tell you’re the kind who gets greedy

when you see money!”

The girl was a bit aggressive, and wouldn’t let it go.

Maja finally realized that the bracelet was just an excuse. What really upset the girl was her closeness

to Samuel.

“I didn’t take your bracelet. If you don’t believe me, you can check the surveillance video.

“Don’t deny it!”

The girl sneered. She just found out that Connie had topped the school, taking away her spot, which

made her very upset. Now, she saw the man she liked with a woman she didn’t know.

She bit her lip, “I’m a student from the Art Academy of Solstice College. My work is being exhibited

here today. The school has a responsibility to protect my rights. If you won’t admit It, I’ll tell the leaders

now and have the security throw you out!”

Samuel stood by, watching Maja being bullied, but didn’t immediately step in to help. He planned to be

her hero when she felt the most helpless, and thus win her favor more effectively.

He smirked, deciding to watch how things unfold.

He recognized the girl early on, she had the capability to give Maja a hard time.

Mia looked around and quickly spotted the well–prepared Dalia.

Dalia’s face was covered with heavy make–up, hiding her embarrassment.

Mia waved, “You’re just in time, this woman stole my bracelet at school. She’s not from our school, we

should kick her out, right?”

Maja raised an eyebrow, looking at Dalia who had changed Into a new set of clothes, with a hint of a

smile on her lips,

Dalia seemed to be provoked by this smile. All she could think of was the smell of tollet water lingering

In her nostrils, which made her feel sick.

Pretending not to know Maja, she waved directly to the security guard at the door.

“If it’s a thief, then let’s hand her over to the police.”
