Maja shot up and headed for the door, but as she did, she heard footsteps coming from the staircase.
It wasn’t just one person.
Then, a man’s voice echoed.
“Someone have a dog here?“!
It was lan’s voice.
Maja quickly withdrew and closed her door.
Maria was about to deny it, but then she heard a dog barking. What was going on?
lan’s face turned serious, “Get it out of here.”
Maria didn’t dare to respond, she immediately headed downstairs as soon as he entered the room.
At the same time, Maja came out too, she grabbed Maria..
“Maria, did you forget to lock up Coco?”
Maria rubbed her head, her face full of guilt.
“I guess I forgot to lock the door, Coco is too smart now, he can open the door by himself if it’s not
bolted.”
Maria quickly headed downstairs, “Maja, don’t worry, I will lock him up right away.”
Maja’s heart raced, she shot a glance at the closed door at the end of the hall and reminded, “Then
hurry up, don’t let Mr. Raymond discover it.”
-Maria nodded, and immediately headed for the garden.
For the last couple of days, Coco has been living in Maja’s new house. Even though the house was
spacious, Coco still preferred the garden.
So, as soon as he came back, he opened the door by himself. At the moment, he was joyfully digging
in the garden.
Maria was worried that Coco would be found by Mr. Raymond, she didn’t dare to scold him, but quickly
walked over to him and led him away.
lan was standing in front of the floor–to–ceiling window. Although he didn’t see the dog, he did hear the
barking. It must be a pet of
the staff here.
He didn’t give it much thought, instead, he turned around and resumed his meeting. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Just as he turned his back, Coco was led past the window by Maria.
“Mr. Raymond, we have completed the planning for Crystalbrook Valley. The previous leaders have
added new benefits. We originally wanted to turn it into a tourist attraction, but now the planning
department has added a few more things to the original project. I’ve sent the additional content to your
email.”
lan opened the email and read the added content.
Crystalbrook Valley has beautiful scenery and hasn’t been commercialized yet, which means it has
great potential for development. The local government is also very supportive. The feedback he
received from his last visit was very positive.
The planning department has added a lot of new policies; they can develop orchards there.
Even though Crystalbrook Valley is far from the city, the annual transportation cost for the few orchards
there is a big issue.
In the email lan received, there were sincere suggestions from a few leaders he had dinner with
previously, hoping that he would go to Crystalbrook Valley again.
If he goes again, that means all the development plans for Crystalbrook Valley will be finalized.
Thèse leaders are all big shots. lan never ignored their advice, especially when they were genuinely
considering the people’s
welfare.
The additional content from the planning department was good, but it still depended on the local yield.
If the yield is high, they can set up a production line; if it’s low, they can offer tourists the experience of
visiting the orchard while developing the tourism industry, which could also attract tourists.
Therefore, he must go to Crystalbrook Valley this time.
He called Jeff, asked him to add this trip to his schedule, and then ended the meeting.
It was already 10 pm.
lan rubbed his temples, stood up, unbuttoned his shirt, and went to the bathroom to take a bath.
When he came out, he casually picked up a file, planning to continue reading before going to bed.
But his eyes fell on an item on the bedside table.
His face darkened as he picked it up and read the words on it. He let out a cold laugh.
Philter.
Did his grandfather have this placed here? He might as well force him to consummate his marriage
with Maja.
His eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he tossed the item into the trash bin, further strengthening his
resolve that he would not touch that woman during the contract period.
