“Look, there’s something in Jonah’s hands. I wonder what nice things he has brought for Iv. Every day he comes courting Iv with something new. Hey… why don’t I have a man loving me like this?” Anna just smiled. “Alright, let’s go.” Her mind was a mess right now. She could not worry too much about Ivanka’s side of things. “Alright.” Sandy glanced at the two of them standing there a couple more times. Then she drove away. Ivanka turned her head to look. She realized that Anna was still waving at her. In the next instant, the car quickly left. Ivanka looked back at Jonah. Before she could say anything, Jonah spoke softly, “I’m already here. Aren’t you going to invite me up to have a seat?” Ivanka frowned slightly and immediately said, “Jo…” “Come on, I’m still a little hungry. Let’s have dinner together.” After that, he carried his things into the yard. Ivanka was speechless. She knew that no matter where she moved, they would find her. It was just that she truly
“Who else can I trust if not you?”Ivanna pursed her lips silently. She lowered her head to examine the contract.The contract was a dozen pages of densely packed text.Ivanna breezed through it. She finished reading all the content in less than ten minutes.Watching her flip through the pages at such a speed, Jonah raised an eyebrow in admiration.Ivanka set the contract down and said calmly, “There are three loopholes.”Jonah narrowed his eyes. “Three?”“Yes.”Jonah squinted but remained silent. He waited for Ivanka to continue. This contract had been meticulously crafted by the elite members of his company’s legal department. To think it had three loopholes.As this project was very important to him, it was crucial to ensure the contract was flawless.He had brought it to Ivanka to review as a precautionary measure.Of course, there was another reason.If he did not find something for her to do, she would grow even more annoyed with him. By bringing her a work project,
Ivanka shook her head. “It’s just a small favor. No need to thank me.”Deep down, Ivanka felt like she owed it to Jonah. She had promised him that Lane’s Group would cooperate with him, but Michael had swooped in and snatched it away. Although there were circumstances beyond her control, the fact remained that she had failed to fulfill her promise.Many times, Ivanka thought about how to make it up to him.However, Jonah’s idea of compensation was different. He wanted to marry Ivanka.That was something she could never agree to.Jonah stared at Ivanka. Seeing her sitting on the sofa, she did not seem to have any interest in talking to him more than necessary.Jonah smiled and said, “If you’re busy right now, you don’t need to bother with those proposals. It’s unnecessary.”Ivanka shook her head. “When I make a promise, I intend to keep it. Besides, writing those proposals for you isn’t without its benefits. In the future, when Lane’s Group collaborates with Sadler’s Group, unde
At that point, he smiled gently at Ivanka. “Do you believe them?”His deep eyes continued to scrutinize her. Even as he confessed his feelings to Ivanka, he would not make her feel pressured in any way.That relaxed atmosphere was not something one could easily find fault with.However, Ivanka’s personality was such that she would not be pressured by Jonah, regardless of how he approached her.She just casually replied, “It has nothing to do with me, besides, it’s your freedom.”Jonah just smiled and did not continue discussing the topic. He looked at her and softly said, “I’m leaving. If you need anything, call me anytime.”Ivanka did not say anything.Ivanka closed the door as he walked away.She had taken a day off today.But it did not affect her work. She could still work from home.The day passed quickly and peacefully. However, that peaceful atmosphere was ruined when she returned to the office the next day.After entering the office building, Ivanka intended to head
“I can’t believe that actually happened!” The girl on the left wore a look of surprise. The girl on the right smiled. “See, the show is about to start. Chelsea has never been one to hold back, so she’s probably looking to make a scene today.”The girl on the left fell silent. She was already anticipating what Chelsea was going to do. They were also curious to see how Ivanka would handle the situation.It seemed that Ivanka’s rise to power had sparked dissatisfaction among many people.Many said she was overstepping her bounds and should be humbler given her position.Most people did not think she was working for the company’s benefit. They believed she was abusing her authority. She had not gained their trust.Amidst the discussions and stares of everyone present, Chelsea suddenly said in a cold tone, “Ivanka, after what you’ve done, are you happy now?”Ivanka remained calm. She looked at Chelsea with a hint of confusion in her eyes.“What are you trying to say?”“What am I try
The onlookers’ expressions changed as they heard that. A girl stepped forward and gently took hold of Chelsea’s hand and said in a soft voice, “Chelsea, please calm down. It’s not good for your reputation to say things like that in public.”Chelsea, who was consumed by rage, shook off her hand and sneered. She looked disdainfully at Ivanka as she continued.“If she could shamelessly do what she did, why couldn’t I talk about it? I’ve always been upright and honest. Why should I be afraid of damaging my reputation? I’ve never suffered such humiliation in all my years at this company! If what she did was right, I’d acknowledge it! I’m willing to improve myself if I’ve done something wrong. But she knows nothing and yet she’s here giving orders. Who can tolerate that? She’s turning the company into a mess. How can anyone work properly in this chaos?”Someone who wanted to curry favor with Ivanka immediately stepped forward. She frowned and said to Chelsea, “Chelsea, instead of making a
Michael’s furrowed brow instantly relaxed.The cold aura that surrounded him seemed to dissipate.All eyes were on Michael, with everyone eagerly anticipating what would happen next.Some thought it would be entertaining, while others found it captivating. After all, Michael was truly exceptional!Despite working in his company, encountering Mr. Barkworth was a rare occurrence indeed!If one were lucky, they might catch a glimpse of him during arrival or departure times, but his aloof demeanor deterred any attempts at closeness. He had always maintained a lofty distance. No one dared to approach him too closely, not even to say hello. He would simply walk away without acknowledging anyone.However, at the moment, seeing him appear willing to linger for Ivanka’s sake sparked excitement. Perhaps this was an opportunity to get a closer look at him!Oh, how perfect life would be if such moments became more common!Some people had already forgotten to see how Ivanka would refute Che
“Mr. Barkworth, Ms. Lane, it’s all my fault. I failed to keep my subordinates in line. But… I already told her to get her pay from the finance department. I did not expect her to cause a scene in the company. I’ll bear responsibility for her actions, Mr. Barkworth.”The manager had a regretful expression on his face. His voice was filled with remorse. “I will take responsibility for the impact she brought to the company. I’m willing to bear all the consequences…”The HR manager was genuinely sorry.Chelsea pulled a long face.She immediately looked over at Michael and said, “Mr. Barkworth, I want to report him. He fails to exercise fairness and plays favoritism. I was handling this situation according to protocol, yet I was fired in the end. I think he does not deserve to hold the position of the HR manager.”Ivanka’s thin brows were slightly furrowed.Obviously, she was annoyed by the ruckus.She turned to look at Michael and said calmly, “How are you going to handle this matte
