Chapter 1136

Ian sat across from Maja, their table barely four feet wide.

Judith sat beside him, her expression souring the moment she saw Maja. ~

Things between her and lan had been going well recently. Her father was supposed to visit Greenfield, but given Judith’s improving health, he had postponed his trip.

Judith’s older brother had been trying to negotiate a marriage between the two families, eager to announce it to their social circle, but lan was hesitant.

Judith clung tightly to lan, shooting Maja an unfriendly look

Unfazed, Maja continued her conversation with Director Drew about the script.

The waiter brought their food, featuring seasonal specialties that were the restaurant’s signature dishes. The most famous was a sea turtle, seaweed soup, and crab They were reputedly the best in the country.

After chatting with Director Drew for a while, Maja reached for a piece of crab, but her fork collided with lan’s.

Without looking up, he passed the crab to Judith

A smile played on Judith’s lips, as she shot Maja a triumphant look.

Thanks, lan I’ve heard this place serves the best crab. I’ve wanted to try it for a while.”

Maja didn’t retaliate. She moved her fork to pick another piece, but lan had already claimed it for himself.

Maja frowned slightly. The plates were small, and each only contained two pieces of crab.

She had heard about the delicious crab here and couldn’t resist trying, but now the remaining pieces were closer to Director Drew. To reach them, she would have to Stand up, which wouldn’t look good in front of the others, who were more interested in conversation than food.
