Chapter 1136 Let Slip!

Author: Deer
“Ms. Lane has truly changed. Look at her, she’s so outstanding. She’s not only young and beautiful but also incredibly talented. I never imagined there could be such a perfect woman!”

“Exactly! I used to think a perfect woman was someone with a wealthy family, who has a pretty face and a great figure like a princess, and a couple of skills probably bought with money. But Ms. Lane…”

She trailed off, as she did not need to finish her sentence. The others were already nodding in agreement, because it was the truth.

“Oh, I really envy Ms. Lane. She’s so young and successful to be running such an impressive company. She’s got so many talents hidden under different identities. Also, don’t you think this latest jewelry design might be connected to Ms. Lane somehow?”

“Huh? Why do you say that?”

“In the past, so many people tried to hire Papaver. Even Barkworth’s Group and Sadler’s Group were eager to collaborate with her, but they never succeeded no matter what they tried. But this time,

    “Let’s go in.”Ivanka nodded in agreement. Together, they entered the restaurant. Jonah had reserved the entire place for themselves. The waitstaff were dedicated solely to their service.Ivanka did not comment. Jonah did not want anyone to overhear their business discussions, or he simply had the means to afford such luxury.Soon, they were seated in a private room. Once Jonah ordered a selection of dishes he knew Ivanka liked, the waiter left and closed the door for them.Ivanka turned to Jonah calmly and asked, “Do you have a particular issue with our collaboration that you want to discuss?”They had chatted during the car ride but had not touched on business matters. Now that they were in a different setting, Ivanka brought it up directly.Jonah’s lips curved into a smile. “The collaboration is fine. I just wanted to see you.”Ivanka did not respond.Ivanka studied him in silence. She knew he did not really mean that.Jonah took out his phone and sent a document to Ivanka.

    Ivanka did not speak the entire time. It was uncertain whether she was actually considering it. The silence stretched on until the server knocked on the door.A few servers brought the food in. Each of them had a respectful smile on their face. Once they placed the food on the table, they asked Ivanka and Jonah if they needed anything else. Then, they all left.Jonah looked at Ivanka with a smile. “Dig in.”“Okay.”Ivanka responded and picked up her cutlery. When it came to delicacies, she would never say no.Neither of them said anything. Ivanka was eating attentively, while Jonah seemed to be used to her silence.Once she was done, Ivanka put down her cutlery for good. Jonah finally looked at her and said, “So, what’s your decision?”Ivanka wiped her mouth with a napkin and said slowly, “I’m fine with it, but I don’t have the energy to handle this sort of thing right now. Why don’t you take care of it?Jonah smiled. “Piece of cake.”Ivanka nodded and did not say anything els

    The best timing was over. Those people could only sigh with resignation.After all, they were not as impressive as Ivanka.They could not fight her over the spotlight. None of them could hold a candle to her!Soon enough, Ivanka and Jonah left and got into the car. Jonah drove off right away.Whenever he was with Ivanka, he would never let someone else drive and got behind the wheel himself. It was because he did not want a third wheel in the car. Throughout their half-hour drive, Jonah did not bring up any topic about work. Instead, he picked relatively casual subjects to chat with Ivanka. Although she was not interested in them, she felt quite comfortable during their conversation. When they arrived at their destination, they finally stopped talking. It was nighttime. The sun had long set.But nightfall did not quench the people’s enthusiasm for nightlife. The chain of traffic was long and winding. Cars moved after one another in unending queues.The streetlights were alrea

    Curiosity flickered in Ivanka’s eyes. Four men were in the private room. They were all in suits. Each of them sat in a different posture. Some were sitting with their backs straight while others were lounging casually. Some were swirling red wine in their glasses and tasting it.Because of their presence—or rather, Ivanka’s arrival—everyone froze still. They all stared fixedly at her and Jonah.Alfred Brooks narrowed his eyes and nudged the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. He said with a faint smile, “Things seem a little different today.”He was saying this to Jonah.Next to him, a gentle-looking man named Matthew Khing also gave a faint smile. “A little? No, it’s drastically different.”When has Jonah ever brought a woman to this place?Technically, they should ask: When had Jonah hung out with any woman ever?Although there were lots of rumors about him, he was never a ladies’ man. All these years, he never dated any women. He never cared about those photoshopped pictures of

    “Damn… Have you no shame? If you keep watching those things, they will mess you up!” Heath Zuckerbrot, who had not spoken till this moment, could not help but take a jab at his friend.He was the quirkiest among them and had no qualms taking a jab at anyone.As for the incident with Cole’s computer, it happened by chance. She simply retaliated when he attempted to hack hers. She stumbled upon some junk files in his computer and deleted them all without hesitation.Cole was so furious that he almost threw a tantrum. He had spent so much time and effort to acquire those films, but she deleted them all. He was exasperated!Jonah gave an awkward smile and turned to Ivanka. “Ignore them.”“You have already brought her over. Why would she ignore us? Am I right, Ms. Lane?” Heath had a relaxed smile on his lips. Ivanka glanced at him and thought that he was as eccentric as Ivan.After a pause, Ivanka replied, “I don’t quite understand what you mean.”Jonah glanced at her. “Let’s take a

    After a pause, Jonah said calmly, “I’ll leave this task to you. Why don’t you go through the plan in detail?”Cole turned his head away, refused to spare his friend a glance, and ignored what he said altogether. Plan? Was this all a joke? He lost his precious films!Ivanka was sitting next to Jonah. She had no opinion regarding this plan. Since Jonah had made the arrangement, he must have been prepared. She might not need to intervene or mind this all that much.The most important thing to her was designing some good products. Of course, she had other commitments and needed to wrap them up as soon as possible.Heath could not help giving a cold snort. “Dirty things are all he can think about right now. I wonder if he has room for something else. He is doomed. Sooner or later he will die on a woman!”“That’s a beautiful way to die. Don’t you think so?” Cole was unabashed as he said that and was affected by Heath’s insult.“You’re really something.” Heath eyed his friend with a loo

    “Sorry, they are lost for good,” Ivanka replied to him out of courtesy. Then she turned to Jonah. “Do you have anything else to discuss? I have to head back.”Jonah smiled. “I’ll drive you home.”“It’s okay. I can go home on my own. You stay and have fun.” Since Jonah had come here to hang out with his buddies, Ivanka did not intend to make him follow her out of the bar.However, Jonah would not possibly let her go home alone. Besides, he would seize every chance to keep her company. He immediately stood up. “It’s fine. Let them hang out on their own. I’ll drive you.”With that, he walked ahead of her and opened the door for her.A strange emotion flashed in Ivanka’s eyes. Before she said anything, Heath, who seemed to have read her mind, immediately said, “Come on, Mrs. Sadler, let him drive you. Or else he’ll be absent-minded throughout our meeting. His soul would have left with you. What do we want his empty shell for?”Ivanka frowned and looked at Heath. She said calmly, “You

    Jonah raised his brows and turned to Ivanka. Seeing how serious she was, he gave a faint sigh. “I know what you want to say. But sometimes, even if you say it, I might not listen.”Ivanka furrowed her brows slightly. She looked at him and did not say anything immediately. But deep down, she already felt irritated. If he kept acting this way, it would invite trouble for them both.However, given Jonah’s attitude, her ultimatum might not be effective at all.Just as she was troubled, Jonah sighed again. “Ivanka.”She looked up at him without a word.Jonah said calmly, “You never trust me and always assume that I approach you with ulterior motives. I just want you to know that it takes time to truly know somebody.”When her expression became conflicted, and she was about to retort, he added casually, “Since you haven’t managed to tell if I’m sincere, I can keep waiting.”They were alone in the car at the moment. Jonah was no longer in a hurry to start driving. If Ivanka wanted to t

    Instead, she remained standing in front of Jimothy and studied the group of men with a smile.“He works at our company. Since I’ve run into him, I’m obligated to come over and check on him. Pray tell, what has happened between you and why do you feel the need to resolve it with violence?”Jimothy stared at Candice while she stood with her back facing him. The look in his eyes was conflicted.The men exchanged glances with each other and saw a hint of astonishment in one another’s eyes.The man at the front of the group, who was likely their leader, said, “We just get paid to do this, lady. You should stay out of it.”When Candice heard his advice which also sounded like a threat, she did not intend to back down at all. Instead, she asked him, “Oh? How much did you get for this? I’ll pay you double. I just told you that this guy works for us, so I have to intervene.”The leader started laughing, and so did the men behind him. They did not even bother to hide the mockery in their t

    Candice ordered some food she liked, and the dishes arrived soon after.Sandy suggested that they all took a picture together.The others did not object.Sandy gave her phone to the waiter.Then the five of them moved their chairs to sit in a row.Michael and Ivan each took the outermost seats.Naturally, Ivanka was seated next to Michael while Sandy, who paid for the dinner, was right beside her.Next to Sandy was Candice, who sat awkwardly in her chair. Ivan was beside Candice.The second the waiter took the picture, Ivanka and Michael exchanged glances inadvertently. Meanwhile, Ivan stared past Candice, and his eyes fell on Sandy.Sandy and Candice were the only people who looked into the camera.But each and every one of them had a genuine smile on their face.Once they had taken a picture, they started eating together.It was a nice, relaxing dinner. They did not talk about work or how annoying Coco had been.They mostly chatted about the fun anecdotes they had he

    The call was soon answered, but the person who picked up was not Rosie. It was Mrs. Ruth.“Ms. Lane, you finally called! Mdm. Barkworth will be over the moon when she wakes up!” Mrs. Ruth sounded quite excited as she spoke.Ivanka smiled and asked, “Is Grandma resting now?”“Yeah, she hasn’t had a good rest after learning that you’d be kidnapped. Once you were safe, she finally allowed herself to rest.”Ivanka nodded and told Mrs. Ruth to take good care of Rosie. She later said that she and Micheal would visit Rosie soon.With that, she hung up the phone.Meanwhile, she also reflected upon herself.Rosie had gotten old, yet Ivanka always made her worry. From that moment on, Ivanka would consider the consequences before making any decision. It was not only for the sake of herself, but the important people in her life, who also cared about her.As she contemplated this, Ivanka inevitably thought of the gathering. It would be quite fun.Before they were about to get off work, San

    Coco practically ran out crying.Candice glanced at Ivanka worriedly and asked, “Will something bad happen to her?”Ivanka was not concerned at all. “What could possibly happen? She is an adult. Even if something bad happens, she has to bear the consequences of her own action.”Hearing that, Candice no longer fretted over the matter.She was not really worried about Coco. She was just afraid that something would happen to Coco, and Ivanka would be blamed for it.But Ivanka had made a good point. Candice did not want to trouble herself with Coco’s matters. It would only be an unnecessary emotional burden to her.Everyone in the office began discussing the progress of their project.Perhaps it was because Ivanka had made an example of Coco, the other employees became especially energized and diligent during their discussion.They were even more focused than before, since they were all afraid that Ivanka would treat them harshly as well.Hence, they were particularly efficient.

    “Why don’t we leave now so that you can deal with this matter, Ms. Ivanka?”The director of the project department, who was perceptive and shrewd, planned to leave right then. Ivanka shook her head and signaled everyone to sit down.They were all uneasy, and they kept giving Coco weird looks.Two people had dared speak to Ivanka like that in the past—Ferris and Mandy.But those two were no longer with the company.At the thought of those people, the project department staff began looking at Coco with pity.However, Coco could not care less. All she wanted was to make a fuss.She wanted to see how shameless Ivanka could be.Unruffled, Ivanka stared at her. She did not get angry and seemed rather affable as she asked, “Tell me what upset you. Have we falsely accused you of something you didn’t do?”Before Coco said anything, Ivanka added cruelly, “Oh, I forgot that you aren’t familiar with the protocol here, so you have no idea what you did wrong, right?”Coco paled.

    Candice was momentarily stunned by his answer. She was a little offended.“Then why did you come to my office for this conversation?” Jimothy’s grin was mischievous. “To prove your company’s HR is blind, and you just lost a great talent. That’s all.”With that, Jimothy stood up, dusted off his sleeves dramatically, and turned to leave.“Your resume!” Candice called after him.Jimothy waved dismissively without looking back. “Keep it. Enjoy reading it. And don’t let an incompetent HR handle your interviews again.”Candice stood there for a moment and processed the scene before an involuntary chuckle escaped her lips. This one had personality.Regardless, the incident served as a wake-up call for Candice.It became glaringly clear that Coco was not only incompetent but also prone to overestimating her abilities.Before the task was assigned, she had the chance to decline. Candice had given her the opportunity and explicitly asked if she could handle it. Yet, Coco confidentl

    The college student finally believed her and walked toward Candice.On the other hand, Coco seemed guilty and was desperate to prevent it. “He has no respect for our company! Are you really going to hire someone like him who won’t follow orders?” Coco’s tone was sharp. Her finger trembled as she pointed at the young man.She scanned the room for backup in hopes that the people who had been flattering her earlier would speak up in her defense.Unfortunately, no one stepped forward.Those who flattered Coco only did so out of respect for Ivanka. Yet Candice had a close relationship with Ivanka and was the company’s vice president.The gap between a vice president versus an intern was as vast as night and day.Anyone with common sense knew where to align themselves.Coco felt a mix of despair and resentment.Candice ignored her entirely. Why Ivanka was so wary of someone as clueless as this was beyond her comprehension.Coco was simply dumb.Without wasting another thought o

    However, reality proved she had worried for nothing.Candice had called her over merely to ask if she had the most basic professional knowledge and whether she could handle the afternoon’s interview.Coco let out a deep sigh of relief before patting her chest confidently and assuring Candice she was more than capable.Knowing Coco came from the mountains, Candice was naturally skeptical, so she asked again, “Are you sure?”Coco thought to herself that it was just an interview. All she needed to do was just ask the candidates some questions. They could just choose someone who wrote the resume well.Not wanting to embarrass herself in front of Michael’s cousin, Coco pretended to be confident and accepted the task.Candice was half-doubtful, yet she still gave her instructions and let her go.However, Coco’s firm assurance eventually led to trouble....“Your company must be a joke to hire someone like you for HR.

    Word quickly spread within the HR department. After learning about Coco’s connection to Ivanka, some colleagues were vying to curry favor with her.Although some observant individuals noticed that the relationship between Coco and Ivanka was not as harmonious as it seemed, it did not deter the opportunists. Relentless flattery and attention poured in.One moment, a male coworker would offer to grab her food while placing his own lunch order. Next, a female coworker would ask if she wanted to order some coffee too.At first, Coco was caught off guard and politely declined. However, as she realized their intentions were purely self-serving, she began to accept their gestures without hesitation.By midday, Coco had become the department’s little queen. Ironically, as an intern, she should have been the one fetching coffee, running errands and collecting mail. Instead, she had colleagues practically lining up to do those tasks for her.Coco quickly assembled her own little e
