After finishing all the paperwork, he was pretty sure that the dog’s owner wasn’t going to ring him up
tonight.
Later, he cleaned himself up and hit the hay.
The next morning, he dialed up Connie, asking her to fetch Coco.
Connie was a bit taken aback.
“You saw my messages. You found it pretty quick.”
When they arrived at Rosewood Manor, she kept yapping, “Why don’t you return it yourself? Penny
would be over the moon.”
By then, lan was already at the doorstep, looking sharp in his well–tailored suit that accentuated his
elegant physique. As he was adjusting his cuff links, he said, “It’s none of my business whether she’s
happy or not.”
Connie was stunned and lowered her head, thinking to herself, “How could he say such a thing when
they’ve been intimate?”
With his looks, lan certainly didn’t seem like a playboy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlan had opened the door and was about to hop in his car.
Connie, leading Coco, followed him.
“Can you give me a lift? I drove here myself; I was afraid to leave Coco in the backseat. If anything
happens, I won’t be able to explain to Penny.” lan frowned and shut the car door coldly.
“I’m allergic to dog hair.”
Connie knew this, but since he’d taken Coco in, he could surely tolerate some dog hair.
Sometimes, allergies were all in the mind.
“If I return it, Penny might think I found the dog. Should I tell her that you found Coco?”
Connie wouldn’t miss any chance to bring them closer.
“No need.”
lan rolled up the window, maintaining his aloof demeanor throughout.
Connie scratched her nose, recalling the sound she’d heard that night, and began to doubt whether
she’d heard it wrong.
She called Maja, then drove to RosenGarden.
Maja was cleaning her room that day and quickly came downstairs to greet Coco.
Coco excitedly rushed towards Maja, looking adorable.
Connie had a class at noon, so she didn’t visit Maja’s house and told Maja before leaving.
“lan found Coco but was too busy to bring it himself. Penny, don’t be upset; keep trying, and he’ll notice
you.”
Maja looked puzzled. Why did she need to try to get lan to notice her?
Connie silently made a “keep going” gesture at her.
Then she drove off.
Maja, leading Coco, stood there pondering.
When she took Coco back upstairs, she ran into Rita, who was heading out.
Upon seeing Coco, Rita immediately jumped back and commented, “It’s so dirty, and you need to
control it. If it makes a racket at night, I’ll definitely complain to the property management.”
Maja glanced at Rita’s outfit, clutching a Hermès handbag, probably bought by Ryan.
Noticing her gaze, Rita deliberately held her bag higher.
“This bag, it’s very expensive, over fifty thousand dollars.”
Maja just smiled and didn’t respond. She opened her door and went in.
Rita was angry and eager to determine whether the conflict she had intentionally caused during their
last encounter had any impact. She wanted to -confirm if Carlene and Maja had indeed quarreled as
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshe had heard. Rita was frustrated with Maja’s distant behavior.
She was clearly hooking up with Mr. Raymond. What was she playing at?
She went to the Raymond Corporation, filled with rage. The idea of Maja possibly owning such an
expensive bag one day made her feel uneasy.
During work hours, she couldn’t help but gossip with a few colleagues.
“Do you guys know the designer Mr. Raymond hired? She had an affair with a homeowner while she
was designing his villa, and his wife chased her to the studio to curse her out.”
“Is that true?”
“Of course it’s true; I’m with Ryan. He’s got his ear to the ground.”
Rita said confidently, but when she saw her colleagues suddenly fall silent, she couldn’t help raising her
voice.
“Don’t you believe it? I’ve got to know a lot of rich young men now. This kind of thing spreads quickly. I
heard she became Mr. Raymond’s designer
because of…”
Before she could finish her sentence, an indifferent male voice came from behind her.
“Resign within half an hour; pick up your own termination.”
Rita froze, turning around to see lan and Jeff standing behind her.
