Dear Ex-wife Marry Me Novel Full Episode
Chapter 165
Dana couldnât accept it. She had a good relationship with her sister. After being recommended by her
sister to join the Raymond Corporation, she also had a smooth life in the Raymond Corporation
because of her sisterâs relationship with lan. But ever since Maja showed up, Dana had been criticized
by lan for the first time, and then again.
Heâd never treated her like this before.
Tears welled up in Danaâs eyes. Even without her laying it on thick, her victim act was enough to make
people suspicious of Maja.
She didnât respond to Majaâs words, making the atmosphere somewhat awkward.
The senior management was eyeing Maja. She wasnât exactly a known figure. Even though she had
some reputation among interior designers, none of these executives were her clients, so they all
considered her a rookie.
But Dana was a different story. She was Carleneâs sister, and Carlene was set to be the future wife of
the Raymond Corporationâs president.
If anyone stood up for Dana now, it would be like sucking up to Mr. Raymond.
So, some of them started speaking up.
âWhich floor do you work on? We all saw it clear as day when the doors opened, Ms. Shepard was on
her knees in front of you, and you didnât even help her up. And you do know that you need an
appointment to come up to the top floor, right? Youâre not like one of those women who keep pestering
the receptionist, trying to sneak up here to see the president, are you?
It was true that some women had tried to sneak up with the top floor staff before being caught and
hauled off by the cops.
Everyone knew lan couldnât stand that sort of harassment.
When Dana heard the executiveâs questioning, a small smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, but her
eyes became even redder, making her look terribly wronged.
Dana was goodâlooking, and it was easy for a man to comfort her with the crying appearance. But
because of her ties with Carlene, the male staff at the top had never dared to confess their feelings to
her, although theyâd made plenty of attempts to win her favor behind the scenes.
And now they had a bunch of executives here who were suckers for damsels in distress.
Compared with the weak Dana, the expressionless Maja was not very popular with men. Most men
have heroism and like to play the protector.
Maja turned to lan, who didnât seem inclined to help her out.
It seemed like she was only rely on her own.
âI have a personal appointment with Mr. Raymond himself today.â
She said, pulling out her business card with a smile.
âIâm Penny. I was responsible for Mr. Raymondâs house renovation. Iâm here to update him on the
progress. I apologize for not helping Ms. Shepard up just now. That was my bad.â
She then took out a tissue and handed it to Dana.
âMs. Shepard, stop crying, or people might think Iâm bullying you.â
This move left Dana no room to continue her act.
Maja had been so sincere, so clear, and now she was handing her a tissue.
If she didnât take it and tried to tattle, Maja would surely bring out the surveillance video as proof.
If she took it, it would mean that what Maja said was true. Sheâd only been startled by the elevatorâs
jolt, and the executive who
had eagerly defended her would become a laughingstock.
Dana was furious. If sheâd known Maja wouldnât be intimidated by the executives and would pull a stunt
like this, she wouldnât have pretended.
But now she was between a rock and a hard place. All she could do was take the tissue.
âThank you, Ms. Penny.â
Each word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, as if she could tear Maja up.
But Maja was unfazed by the hostility, even breaking into a smile. âYouâre welcome.â
The executive who had defended Dana earlier was blushing and trying to pretend nothing had
happened. He was inwardly cursing Danaâs tears that made her look like a victim and made him look
foolish.
Maja defused the situation and turned to lan.
âMr. Raymond, arenât you coming in?â
lan didnât say anything. He just looked at Dana.
For some reason, Dana felt a pang of anxiety and quickly lowered her head, walking out with her eyes
still red.
lan walked in, followed by the other executives.
Maja stepped aside, wondering why he didnât take his private elevator. She had no idea it was under
maintenance today and that lan had to attend a function.
The atmosphere in the small elevator was somewhat delicate.
Majaâs gaze fell on lanâs cuff. Heâd changed cufflinks. The silverâblue cufflinks Carlene had just given
him were on his white shirt. Paired with his suit, the icy blue made him look even more aloof.
He really did love Carlene. Within ten minutes of receiving the cufflinks, he couldnât wait to put them on.
