Ian was indeed waiting for Maja at that moment, as she had promised to join him for dinner at Greenfield Gardens that day.
He had specially taken an early shift and had instructed the kitchen to start preparing while he was still busy at work.
Once he got home, he sat on his couch, admiring the blooming flowers outside, and couldn't resist sharing a post on Facebook.
After posting, he felt a bit embarrassed and contemplated deleting it, but the comments below stopped him from doing so.
Was that what being in love feel like?
Every beautiful thing reminded him of her.
How much he wished that she was there beside him.
Such feelings were strange indeed.
He took out his laptop nearby and decided to work overtime while he waited for her arrival.
But it was already 7 p.m. and Maja hadn't arrived, nor had she called.
Maja was too busy that day. She had worked all night and reported back to work at 5 a.m. to continue handling business affairs.
The new batch of employees was gradually getting the hang of things, but the company was still fresh and taking on a quarter of Simstar Entertainment's business was a bit overwhelming. Everyone was working overtime, and the entire building was lit up.
Maja was hands-on with every project detail, from meetings to oversight.
By the time it was evening, she felt like she was inhaling more than she was exhaling.
Her mind was clouded, and with work occupying her entirely, she had no time to think of anything else.
She continued to process the files in her drowsy state. When Zoey walked in, she pushed the completed files towards her.
"Zoey, take note, the agents that Elvis has selected should be put to work. We can't let him shoulder everything alone."
Apart from Maja, Elvis was the most work-obsessed in the company, even sleeping in the office recently to be more productive.
Maja was just too tired to even utter a word, but after a little pause she spoke up,
"Send the files down. Let Elvis rest a bit. If necessary, set up a rest area in his office."
"Alright, I'll talk to Mr. Elvis right now. Ms. Pennyfeather, you should rest too."
But Maja couldn't hear her anymore. Her mind was a mess, and she fell asleep on the desk within seconds of settling down.
She was in such a deep sleep that she didn't even react to the ringing phone.
Ian had saved Zoey's number from last time, so after getting no answer from Maja, he called Zoey.
"Ms. Pennyfeather is still at work."
Hearing that, Ian didn't say a word and hung up.
Zoey stared at her phone screen in confusion, somehow sensing that he seemed upset.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
