Chapter 205 Planting Strawberries

Nora remained silent for a moment, her hands tightly gripping the table, clearly inexperienced in such

matters.

But she was desperate for money, and after seeing the man’s photos and information, she couldn’t deny. that the man was appealing enough to stir her heart.

He wasn’t the wealthy playboy she had expected, nor was he overweight. Instead, he was the kind of man she would never have the opportunity to meet in her lifetime.

So she was willing, especially since she would also receive a generous reward.

“Ms. Adam, can I ask what I should do when I meet him?” Nora glanced at Maggie, unable to resist asking-

After a brief silence, Maggie looked at her directly and said calmly. “Just do whatever it takes to make him happy.”

After those words, Maggie added, “I’ll give you a heads–up when the time comes. Just be ready.”

“Nathael?” Maggie tapped on the door softly, calling out his name.

But he remained unresponsive, as if he hadn’t heard her at all.

Approaching him, Maggie gently wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, then leaned her cheek against his shoulder. “What’s on your mind?”

Nathael snapped out of his thoughts, placing his large hand over hers resting on his waist.

“Not much, just some work stuff to handle at the company.”

“Still busy? I’ll keep you company” Maggie couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.
