Ryan hit Penny? No way
“Is there a misunderstanding here?”
“Penny’s face is swollen, with five clear finger marks, what misunderstanding could there be? Ryan has
really let me down.”
Far away in the bar, Ryan sneezed amidst the deafening music, feeling a chill on the back of his neck.
lan wondered, did she get slapped again?
Maja finally had a chance to speak, and she quickly said,
“It’s not Ryan Ryan is nice, he wouldn’t hit me.”

“Are you defending him because you are afraid that I will punish him?”
“It really wasn’t him”
“Then who hit you?”
“My family”
Maureen looked sympathetic, relieved that it wasn’t Ryan who hit her.
“As long as it’s not him, I can breathe easy. Here’s my number, you write it down. If Ryan ever treats
you badly, you let me know.”
Maja hesitated. She and Ryan were just pretending to be a couple, but now she had no chance to
refuse Maureen.
Maureen hadn’t hung up the phone yet.
“lan, it’s all good, I’m hanging up.”
Maja worried that if lan said another word, he would expose her and Ryan’s relationship. She would
feel even more awkward face–to–face with Maureen. Thankfully, lan didn’t say anything.
After her injury was treated, Maja quickly stood up.
“I have things to deal with at home, I need to go.”
“Sure, if there’s anything you can’t handle, you can call me. Or tell Ryan, he’s your boyfriend, he should
help you
Maja managed a smile, feeling like her lie was growing bigger and bigger like a snowball.)

Sandy, wearing high heels and carrying a fancy tote bag, walked side by side with a young man about
25.
As she passed Maja, she suddenly stopped and raised an eyebrow.
“It’s you”
Maja frowned, not immediately recognizing who she was.
Sandy sneered, taking in Maja’s prim and proper attire, before stepping back.
“So, you had a fling with lan and got nothing out of it?”
That kind of thing was just for money, right? As a result, she still looked so poor now, It seemed that her
service was not done well.
Maja finally remembered that this was the woman she met in the hotel that day.
She curved her lips into a smile and said to Sandy, “Mr. Raymond said it was too much trouble to pay
each time, so he decided to settle it all at the end of the year.
“You!”
Was this an implication that lan still wanted to continue this relationship with her?
