Chapter 565

Her cheeks were turned to the side, her nail polish–less fingers gripping the couch beneath her.

The hem of her dress was bulky, reaching just above her ankles when she stood, but when she sat down, the fabric

pooled on the floor.

Just as lan was about to tug down the fabric covering her, the door was flung open.

Startled, Maja shot up from the couch, shoving lan over and hiding him under her dress.

All this happened in a matter of seconds, and lan had yet to react to any of it.

The newcomers were two famous actresses, laughing and gossiping about the spoiled rich brats they’d be dealing

with that night. Seeing that the room was occupied, they merely nodded in acknowledgement and moved on to the

long makeup table.

They continued chatting.

*So, this Carlene they’re talking about, she’s really been faking it?”

“My friend said she was publicly dismissed by Mr. Raymond, who left with his own designer, and who knows where

they went.”

“That Mr. Raymond, he’s married, right?”

“Yep, a family alliance.”

They continued to touch up their makeup and chat away, completely oblivious to the fact that the Mr. Raymond

they were talking about was being pinned under Maja’s dress at that very moment, not allowed to get up.

The hem of the dress was large enough to conceal him, and only a careful look would reveal the abnormality.

But there was no chance that those two actresses would take a careful look.

Maja’s palms were sweaty, and it wasn’t long before she felt lan’s kiss under her dress.

Maja stiffened, her mind in chaos, fighting the urge to scream,

The two actresses were right there, and she was less than ten meters away from them.

She knitted her brows tight, but she dared not speak, her grip on the couch tightening.

Those seven minutes were the longest she had ever experienced in her life.

She couldn’t make out what the two women were saying. Her mind was in a whirlwind of chaos.

The actresses said a few words to her, but her vision was a blur, and she didn’t catch what they said.

It wasn’t until they left, and the door closed that she stumbled back in a panic, even falling over in the process.

lan straightened up his expensive suit and helped her up.

“Can you walk?” he asked.

She didn’t answer.

He let go of her, and the next second, she collapsed to her knees.

He scooped her back up into his arms, and saw the tears streaming down her face, it took her a while for her to

finally choke out, “You’re shameless, you’re a scum lan was scolded, but it only made him tingly all over.

In front of him, her sharp words seemed to have disappeared, even her insults sounded soft.

“You held it in for so long, just to say that?”

Maja was trembling all over. “This jerk!” she thought.

She raised her hand, without hesitation, ready to slap him.

lan caught her wrist, “Who hid me under her dress? Weren’t you tempting me?”

His eyes squinted, a cold smirk at the corner of his mouth.

“Your husband really is useless, even this can make your legs go weak.”

Maja’s chest heaved, she shoved him away with all her might.

lan stepped back a few paces, watching her shaky legs and red–rimmed eyes as she leaned against the cabinet. His

heart softened.

“Which floor is your room on?”

Maja ignored his question. She closed her eyes, took a breather, then slowly made her way towards the door.

lan didn’t follow her, just reminded her, “Watch your step.”

“That annoying jerk!” she thought to herself.
