After Jonah canceled the meeting, the senior managers started discussing the reason behind it. When they learned about the news of Ivanka’s arrival, their expressions turned dark. Originally, they had gathered inside the office to discuss one issue. However, they were discussing Ivanka and Jonah’s relationship at the moment. “It’s her again!” Mr. Warren’s expression darkened, and he thought. “She changes Mr. Sadler’s decision time and again! Her presence causes things to become so unpredictable, but he insists on getting together with her. If this continues, she might cause trouble to the company!” Ms. Zendaya’s expression turned sour, and an obvious hint of dissatisfaction crossed her face. “She obviously came for Mr. Sadler. If she succeeds in getting together with him, she will only complicate things at the company. Think about it! How will it sound if Mr. Sadler gets together with a woman Michael Barkworth doesn’t want anymore?!” “No way! We have to stop her from seducing
Ms. Theresa had totally forgotten about staying out of sight. When she was greeted by the sight before her, she looked terrified. She was even standing at the doorway like an eyesore, and her hand froze in mid-air. Perhaps Ms. Theresa was breathing a little too quickly, but Ivanka gradually turned her head around, and Jonah followed her sight. Ms. Theresa’s expression changed drastically. “I’m sorry, Mr. Sadler. I didn’t mean to overhear your conversation. I-I have something to tell you,” she quickly said. Jonah was in a good mood today, so he nonchalantly said, “Go back to your workstation first.” Ms. Theresa was a little surprised. Although Jonah was a friendly man, he handled things strictly and fairly. If Ms. Theresa had done this in the past, she would have been punished and given a lot of work! However, Jonah let her go just like that. And Jonah was the kind of person who would get even with someone at a later date if he did not do so today. Ms. Theresa gratefully
Ivanka frowned. She turned around and looked at Jonah. Jonah sized her up. “Iv, sometimes, no matter what happens, you don’t always have to suffer alone. If you don’t want others to worry about you, you can lean on me. I’ll be your most faithful pillar of strength.” Jonah sounded serious and earnest. Ivanka’s calm facade shattered slightly. The next moment, Jonah drew closer to her and whispered, “Otherwise, who’s going to feed me if something happens to my sugar mommy?” Ivanka frowned again and thought. “This guy is crazy!” She quickly pulled her hand out of his grasp and left in a hurry after she said goodbye. Jonah did not go after her. He chuckled and slowly walked to his desk. Then, he looked at the bank card and picked up his phone. ...... At that moment, Evan was telling Michael his work schedule in his office. “Mr. Barkworth, you have a business dinner tonight. You made an appointment with Mr. Stanley beforehand.” Michael nodded and said nothing. Evan was a li
An unexpected chill pervaded the workplace. Evan failed to suppress a shudder from the cold.Others may not have realized it, but Michael knew well that Jonah had fallen for Ivanka!He never once missed a meeting and always kept his word. However, he was repeatedly making exceptions for Ivanka.He thought. “Very well, Jonah.”“See who owns that card.”Evan’s calm facade cracked a little. Because Jonah had brought the card up, it implied that he had granted permission for others to verify the card’s owner. He would only embarrass himself if it did not belong to Ivanka.Furthermore, if they could verify the owner, it would undoubtedly be Ivanka’s. Michael was making an unnecessary move.Evan replied respectfully, “Yes, Mr. Barkworth,” because he could say nothing more.Michael left the office after determining that he had no further instructions to give.Jonah was in a good mood today. He gave bonuses to the company’s employees and even gave them a half-day off.Barkworth’s Gro
”Has a date been set?” Ivanka appeared to be at ease.“Yes. Mr. Lee said that he had contacted them and that the court would be held the day after tomorrow. He’s wondering if you’re free that day. If you’re not available, he can postpone it.”“The day after tomorrow is fine.”She would be able to begin working at Lane’s Group once she had resolved all of these issues.Everything would fall into place.“Wow, you’re my lucky star! Iv, I love you so much!” Sandy said. She smooched the phone twice.“Stop,” Ivanka said with a smile. “Is there anything else?”“No. Have an early night.”“Okay.”Twitter was buzzing once more. Many people began to envy Ivanka.Angry Bird: I’m envious of Ivanka. Right after the divorce, she’s already found herself another caring suitor. He even went to great lengths to pursue her. He’s known as a playboy, but Mr. Sadler has never posted anything on Twitter for a woman.Iris’ Fangirl: That’s exactly my thought! Iris is fantastic and can easily win Mr.
“That won’t do,” Michael said firmly. “You won’t recover in such a short time.”“Well, I just need to have the dressing changed at home on a regular basis. You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll be fine. Mic, thank you.”Michael frowned slightly. “Why thank me?”“Thank you for caring about me. You make me feel warm, and I’m grateful to have met you.”Michael was stunned. Because of him, she went into a coma. This time, she was admitted to the hospital due to him and nearly went into a coma. In spite of it all, she was grateful to him.At that moment, Michael experienced a rollercoaster of complicated emotions. “Wait for me. I’m going to the hospital right now.”Chiara was ecstatic. She had not expected him to come.However, she hurriedly stopped him. “There’s nothing serious, Mic,” she said thoughtfully. “You don’t have to worry about me. You have so much work to do every day, so don’t concern yourself with me. Besides, I still have other people to take care of me. You don’t hav
He felt awkward whenever he came here because he had nothing to say to Chiara.Chiara smiled at Michael. “Mic, if you’re busy, you can leave first. I need to stay under observation tonight. If there are no problems, I’ll be discharged tomorrow.”“I’ll pick you up tomorrow,” said Michael calmly.Chiara was flattered. She looked surprised and said, “Mic, are you still angry because of what happened before? I acted impulsively that time. I’m sorry…”Michael sighed. “Forget about the past.”Chiara’s eyes flickered. Nonetheless, she smiled and nodded obediently, “Okay.”Michael sat in the chair by the bed’s edge. Chiara could tell he was uncomfortable. He wanted to leave.When he was about to speak, Chiara hurriedly said with a smile, “Mic, when I scrolled through Twitter today, I saw Mr. Sadler’s tweet. Have you seen it?”Michael’s expression darkened, and he said nothing.Chiara’s eyes glowed with jealousy. She still could not forget how Michael took the initiative to kiss Ivanka
Michael raised his head and looked at her. Chiara bit her lip and said shyly, “I’ll worry about you.”Michael said nothing. He simply turned and left.Chiara was fixated on his back. She had a long history of feelings for this man.Soon, she could marry him.She could marry him!Thinking about it lifted Chiara’s spirits.The news of Michael’s visit to Chiara quickly went viral on Twitter. However, it was eventually removed.Chiara’s face turned pale as soon as she found out.She had purposefully asked someone to spread the word in order to stoke the debate and inform people that she and Michael were a couple.However, it was removed after a while. No one would remove it except Michael, so why did he?Chiara’s face became even paler. Although she was plagued by a bad omen, she was powerless to act on it. Michael would be able to tell she was behind it if it started trending again.Bang!Chiara struck the bed hard. Her enthusiasm had faded.He must have fallen for Ivanka!H
