FreeNovelIvy nodded. "A little." "You should hide later, then." She chuckled. "I'm not that nervous. I will stand quietly. I promise not to say a word!" "Why would you be in my office when I have a meeting?" Lucas felt like Ivy did not know what it meant to be someone's assistant. "It's not an important meeting, right? Caspian said you don't want to accept the investment so why can't I stay and listen? Maybe I can help you if they try to trick you." "If they try to trick me, do you really think that I wouldn't notice?" Lucas retorted.
Ivy cleared her throat. "That's not what I meant. What I mean is... my being here won't get in your way so why not letstay and listen? I want to broaden my horizons! I promise not to make a single sound." Lucas studied her for a few moments, contemplating if he should let her stay.
"Mr. Woods, would you like stea? I bought a can of floral tea last night. Letbrew a cup for you to taste!" Ivy took out a can of floral tea from the display cab nearby and picked up his glass without waiting for him to respond before heading to the tea station to make tea for him.
Lucas found himself at a loss for words.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEver since Ivy had entered his life, he had had the strange feeling that Ivy was his master, and he was just a pawn for her to manipulate at her whim.
Naturally, he could see that everything Ivy did was for his own good; cleaning the house and cooking for him were not things anyone would do for free, after all. Thus, it was challenging for him to be harsh with her.
Ultimately, Ivy had note to seek refuge with him because she did not have anywhere else to go.
In a short while, Ivy brought the brewed tea and placed it on Lucas's desk.
"Mr. Woods, try it," Ivy looked at him with anticipation.
Lucas glanced at the chrysanthemum flower floating on the water. "Do you wantto drink boiling hot water now?" Ivy scooped a small spoonful of floral tea, blew on it, and then pressed it to Lucas's lips, saying, "Take a small sip; it won't burn you! I added locust flower honey toit so it's definitely delicious." "I don't like sweet things," Lucas replied.
"It's not sugary. This honey is delicious! You won't gain weight from it. Just try a little!" Ivy insisted.
Unable to resist her, Lucas sipped the tea from the spoon.
Just then, the office door was pushed open, and Caspian brought in the investors.
They were stunned by the scene they witnessed.

Ivy also turned her head to look and was immediately captivated by the beautiful woman standing next to Caspian.
The woman had long flowing curls and was wearing a tight-fitting white dress; her features were so refined that she looked like a leading actress straight out of a movie.
Standing next to her was a man wearing glasses, who appeared to be her assistant.
"Are these two the investors?" Ivy thought.
As Ivy studied the beautiful woman, the beauty was also sizing her up.
Caspian smiled and addressed the woman: Ms. Feake, this is ourpany's CEO, Lucas Woods. Then, he introduced Lucas to her: "Lucas, this is Ms. Feake. She is here to negotiate on behalf of her father." mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1
