Chapter 2111

When Maja got the text message, she didn't think much of it. Ian was always sending gifts her way, she was quite used to it by now.

Just as she was about to reply, Beck stormed in, his face a mask of anger, and began packing his bags. He had booked a flight that was leaving in just three hours.

"Beck, are you seriously leaving so soon? Can't you stay a bit longer this time?" Maja pleaded.

But Beck was in no mood to stay. He zipped up his suitcase and threw a parting shot over his shoulder.

"Maja, you better keep an eye on lan. I saw him tonight, all cozy with some waitress in the VIP lounge, even had her sitting on his lap while they drank. Everyone saw it. You might want to pay more attention."

With that, Beck stormed out, jumped into his car, and sped off to catch his flight.

Maja stood there, bewildered. She and lan had known each other long enough that she trusted him. Beck must have gotten riled up about something else.

She tried calling lan, but he didn't pick up. Her brow furrowed in concern. These two had a history of butting heads, and it seemed like the rivalry had flared up again.

Beck flew back to North America, and despite the jet lag, he immediately drove over to where Stella was.

As luck would have it, he arrived just in time to see Stella and Dave looking pretty close. Dave appeared exhausted, and Stella was gently wiping the sweat from his brow.

Seeing this, Beck felt a surge of anger. "Stella!"

Stella looked up, surprised to see him there again. The last time he left, he was furious.
