thought you’d bring just any andom person to appease me, Ryan. You’ve grown up.” 

Ryan had indeed intended to bring just anyone. He had even invited his ex–girlfriend, but a slip of the tongue during gift shopping resulted in a slap. Fortunately, the stap wasn’t bo forceful, leaving no visible marks. 

Mom, Penny is incredibly capable. You know the house lan Raymond has in Greenfield Gardens, right? She’s the one designing it. So, rest assured, I’m not involved with any inappropriate women at the moment” 

Being chosen by lan as the designer spoke volumes about Majas talent 

Maureen was pleased, and the more she looked at Maja, the more she liked her. 

Pretending to be angry Maureen tumed to Ryan, “Didn’t you buy any gifts for her?” 

Observing Maja’s attire–a quality fabric but with a simple design–and her handbag from a brand under $40, Maureen looked at her son with satisfaction. 

It seems sending you to the Raymond Group was the right decision.” 

Mom, that’s what I wanted to discuss today. I’m too busy at the Raymond Group, and I don’t have much time to spend with Penny. I don’t want to work there anymore. Can you talk to lan on my behalf? If you help me this time, I promise we’ll have a child within two 

Maureen had initially sent Ryan to work at the Raymond Group to keep him away from his previous relationships. Now that she discovered he had a decent girlfriend, she couldn’t let his work interfere with their relationship. 

Tuming to Maja, her tone softened, “Penny, can you help me keep an eye on Ryan as well?”

Maureen chuckled and then said to Ryan, “Alright then, you don’t have to go to the Raymond Group anymore. Young people should have more fun and focus on nurturing their relationships. 

Ryan’s eyes lit up, satisfied with the success of his mission. After enjoying a pleasant meal, he bid farewell to Maureen, taking Maja by the hand as they left. 

Once in the cat he released her hand and apologized, “I’m sorry about that. My mom didn’t approve of my previous girlfriends. The only one she liked was my ex, so I wanted her to play along.” 

Ryan continued, “Don’t worry, I’ll bring more projects to you in the future. I’ll also let you design my properties. By the way, where do you live? I’ll drop you off.” 

Majaprovided him with her apartment address. 

Unbeknownst to both of them, Maureen had gone directly to the Raymond Group after their departure and was now silling in lan’s office. 

“What brings you here? It’s quite sudden, lan inquired. 

Maureen settled herself on the sofa, a smile lingering on her face as she thought about the girl she had just mel. 

“Sending Ryan to work here was indeed the right decision. His girlfriend is quite satisfactory. 

“Ryan has another girlfriend?” 

Ian’s brow furrowed slightly as he listened to Maureen’s words. She continued, “I just met the young couple for the first time, so I didn’t inquire about many details. Ryan mentioned that the girl is designing your house. Have you met her? What is her family background and capability like?”
