Chapter 1966 Come Clean

Author: Deer
After getting fully dressed, Ivanka came out of the bathroom.

She had a bathrobe wrapped around her, covering her assets.

Michael could not help but imagine what was under the bathrobe. He subconsciously gulped.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to. The door to your room was unlocked, so I pushed it and came in.” Michael knew that they were still giving each other the cold shoulder. He did not want to make it worse, so he started to explain himself.

Ivanka glanced at him sideways and did not say anything, so Michael could not sense her current emotions.

But one thing was for sure, Ivanka was not that angry.

Otherwise, he probably would not have gotten through the door.

However, the current stalemate, which left them feeling like strangers, was not a good sign. Michael decided to take the initiative to break the ice.

“Are you free now? Come with me for a walk outside. We can’t have you continue misunderstanding me the whole time, can we?”

Although Michael was smiling, it was a bitter s

    If someone was in his way while asking him for help, he might even end their misery himself. So that alone made Ivanka believe that the fact Michael would go meddling was most uncommon.“Of course,” Michael said while looking fixedly at Ivanka’s side profile. “I’m willing to take her away because she took the initiative to suggest that she could impersonate Fiona.”Ivanka understood.So it was all for her?Michael looked at Ivanka, wanting to say something.Finally, as if determined, he asked, “So, are you still unhappy now?”Ivanka shook her head and said, with a serious look on her face, “I was never upset about you taking her away. I just…” Ivanka did not mention that she felt Coco was odd. Since it was just her assumption, she did not want to accuse prematurely. The conversation turned, and Ivanka said, “I just don’t like to be questioned and doubted. So, if you trust me, don’t come and question me.”Michael knew that she was talking about what happened before she left

    Ivanka massaged her shoulder blades as she followed Coco inside.When Michael looked at Coco, an unmistakable flash of annoyance crossed his eyes.He could not fathom why Coco lacked any sense of propriety.Catching the blatant disdain in Michael’s gaze, Coco was stunned for a second, but she quickly masked her reaction and acted like nothing happened.With an air of entitlement, she casually pulled out the chair opposite Michael and sat down.Given that the house was typically occupied by only Ivanka and Michael, the dining table had only two chairs.With Coco making herself at home and claiming one, Ivanka could only stand by the door frame. She leaned casually against it and watched them.It was unknown whether she did it intentionally or not, but Coco began chatting away with Michael as though no one else was present. She shared her reflections on moving to the big city.She made sure to slip in a dose of self-pity at the end.“If it weren’t for you, Michael, I’d still be

    Ivanka could not help but let out a chuckle.What a classic drama queen. Coco had an uncanny ability to latch onto any opportunity.Even if there was not one, she would create it herself.The sheer dedication to her act was, well, almost admirable.Michael, however, looked visibly impatient. His response left Coco utterly flustered.“That’s exactly why you wanted to leave your village, isn’t it? Since you’ve left, fully embrace the change, not just in how you dress or act, but in how you think. Otherwise, walking out of the mountains while keeping your old mindset doesn’t mean much, does it?”Coco opened her mouth, but no words came out.Michael’s brutally blunt critique was so cutting that Ivanka, who had been ready to add her own jab, did not even get the chance.Michael continued, “And my health is none of your concern.”Coco thought that would have been his harshest words, but to her surprise, he followed up with something worse.She sat there and watched Michael clean up

    Coco felt like she was waiting for a final verdict. Every passing second added to the unease.Finally, Michael nodded.“It’s good that you want to work. I won’t stop you. You can join Iv’s company and start in a mid-level administrative role.”Coco’s smile froze on her face.The company she had in mind had been Michael’s. However, knowing she could not let them realize her real intentions, she forced a stiff nod.Turning to Ivanka, Coco ground out the words through clenched teeth. “Then I’ll be counting on you, Iv.”Ivanka simply smiled. She did not even bother to reply with the usual polite phrase like, “It’s no trouble.”Having to guide someone who knew absolutely nothing really was a hassle.Especially when that someone was Coco.Why did Ivanka agree to let Coco work at her company, despite clearly disliking her?It was simply because keeping Coco right under her nose was a way to stay in control.Coco, of course, played her role perfectly and insisted she was fine star

    Coco offered a soft smile. “I twisted my ankle that day when we were escaping. It hasn’t fully healed yet.” Using that excuse, she decided against getting out of the car early.Ivanka’s expression remained polite, but her smile did not reach her eyes. She knew better than anyone whether Coco had actually twisted her ankle that day. Bringing it up at the moment was nothing more than a veiled attempt to remind her that she was the one who saved her.The corners of her lips curled into a mocking smile. Nothing irked her more than people wielding favors as leverage.When it was time to get out of the car, Ivanka stepped out first and walked toward the company. Coco, who was left standing alone, became the subject of numerous curious glances and murmured speculations.She felt as though she were standing at the eye of a storm.Even the most cunning drama queen would struggle to handle such a scene. While the onlookers likely bore no malice and were not outright saying anything mean

    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

    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.

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.

    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.

    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

  • Love Mission: Pursuing My Stunning Ex-Wife   Chapter 1977 Gathering

    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
