Chapter 21
Early in the morning, Ivy twitched the corner of her lips as she opened her eyes to the bright morning light, which was both pleasant and inadvertent. Suddenly, she heard a knock on at the door and listened to the voice of the maid, saying, “Miss, are you up?” “Come in…” Ivy replied lazily. Two maids then opened the door and pushed a huge hanger in. “Miss, these are the dresses prepared for you. Your father and your brother Cooper are waiting for you in the restaurant,” the maid said respectfully. Ivy couldn’t help but feel surprised a little bit when she saw the dress. Her father is really in his exaggerated mode and even bought her a dress from her favorite brand. There are multiple pieces in various colors that are all of the same styles, despite the fact that there is no logo on them. Nonetheless, the recognizable craftsmanship and textiles are from Prada’s private cabinet, and they are all limited-edition and new-season models that are not available for purchase on the open market. She smiled. Sure enough, her father wants her to adapt to a luxurious life again. “Thank you. You may leave,” she said. And the maids left her room. However, Ivy prefers to keep things low-key. She can have whatever she wants, but this is not the perfect time for her. She then rose from her bed and dressed in a little black dress with a suit jacket that she had chosen at random before leaving her room. In the restaurant, Leo and Cooper sat at the table and ate breakfast slowly and methodically as they moved with elegance. And seeing Ivy coming in their direction, Leo smiled at his daughter. “My good daughter is already here,” he asserted. Cooper also looked at Ivy with a smile formed on his lips. “Last night, the internet was chaos again because of the viral video of Duke, running naked outside the XYZ bar.” “Look how paparazzi worked,” Ivy uttered. “And this morning, the Elrod family is now dealing with his scandal. Both the photo and the video.
Duke company is also affected by it. And my little sister is competent in dealing with her enemies, savagely,” he continued and let out a soft chuckle. Ivy shrugged and walked over to sit down. “He provoked me first.” “Well, The Elrod deserved it. And as long as my daughter is happy, my support will always be with you, of course,” Leo asserted as he poured wine into her glass. After a few bites and a fantastic chat with her father and Cooper, Ivy took Cooper’s car to the company. And Greg was standing outside the office door, waiting for her to come in. “Good day, Miss. Anna Gomez came here early in the morning, and she’s waiting for you inside,” Greg said. Ivy nodded. “Is there any news from the ABC Corporation?” she asked. “I have called the General Manager of ABC, Lynn, who has offered to invite you to dinner and conduct an in-person interview.” She nodded and smiled. “Make an appointment for me then.” “Yes, Miss,” Greg replied. Ivy pushed the door in and stood there as she watched Anna sit in her swivel chair and rotate it leisurely and enjoy. For a moment, the atmosphere in the office stiffened. When Anna met Ivy’s gaze, her facial expression changed, and she quickly stood up. Then suddenly, her gaze darted to Greg, that stood behind Ivy. “Why did she come in without saying a word?” she uttered. It seems like she’s blaming Greg. Ivy smiled indifferently and walked over. “Since Manager Anna likes this chair,” she glanced at the swivel chair, “Greg, send this to Manager Anna to her office.” Greg approaches Ivy. “Yes, Miss,” he replied. “Ivy—” “Address me as ‘boss’ since I am one of your bosses.” Anna grimaced. “B-Boss, I don’t have any other meaning. You don’t have to send me a chair.” Ivy sat on the sofa next to her and arched her brow. “I have a habit of cleanliness, and I will not use the chair that others have sat on,” she said. This made Anna get pissed. She glared at Ivy fiercely and kept on cursing Ivy to death inside her
mind. Wasn’t she just a lowly wife of Wyatt Reed for the past three years? What was she proud of? And why does she need to be rude? “Anyway, what brought you here, Manager Gomez?” Ivy looked at Anna intently. Anna then walked over with a document twisted around her waist and threw the document in front of Ivy. “Oh, don’t forget that I did remind you. Many people are interested in this project of the Ferrioli Hider Group. Tonight, Zayne Dy of Ferrioli invited guests to talk about this cooperation, and this is an opportunity for you to seize.” Ivy grabbed the document and turned over two pages of it. Then she suddenly closed it without reading, and she didn’t believe that Anna Gomez would be so kind as to give her such a big cake. And even if it tastes sweet and has its favorite flavors, she won’t take a bite. What if it has poison? However, since Anna was so active in helping her, it would be rude if she did not cooperate. She smiled, “You will also attend, right?” “Of course, I’ll introduce you,” Anna replied. Ivy let out a soft chuckle, but it has a touch of sarcasm. “Well, expect me to be there on time, then.” Ivy handed the document to Greg. “Increase the number of points by thirty according to this,” she said. Greg nodded and took it. “Yes, Miss. I will do it,” he answered. At this moment, Windy Adams pushed the door in, and she was holding a bouquet of tulips. “Hurry, Ivy, I’m already exhausted with this,” she complained, making Ivy arch her brow and stand up. She walked towards Windy. “What is this for?” she asked in surprise. Windy rolled her eyes. “Of course, someone is pursuing you and sending you flowers,” she replied, arching her brow and smiling with ill will.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
