“Gu…Michael Gordon, don’t mess around, or I won’t be polite!”

Panicked, Ivy Aretha instinctively stepped back, her clear consciousness from six years ago returned, her intuition telling her to clench her fists, and her whole body tensed up.
Michael Gordon deeply looked at the flustered person before him, a spark flashed through his mind, both familiar and unfamiliar, his heart palpitated: “I haven’t done anything yet, why are you so scared, looking like a frightened bird? With this look, I even doubt if I had forced myself upon you before?”
Would she be so scared just from him teasing her? In her eyes, did he look so unsafe?
Forced himself upon?
Back then, who was it that ate once and wanted to eat again? Spent a whole night worrying, and wanted more the next day? Dared to say he had no choice but to settle for? Memory loss men are shameless indeed.
Although she despised him, Ivy still didn’t dare to meet his eyes. His gaze was too intense. Lowering her head, she said, “Mr. Gordon, it’s getting late. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be resting. I have work tomorrow!”
Michael Gordon didn’t say anything, just stared at her intently. In the moonlight and the interweaving light, the clean, makeup-free face of the woman in her casual attire displayed her inherent charm.
Such a naturally beautiful woman!
No wonder Zach Gilbert and Mario Jensen both showed interest in her. Nowadays, there aren’t many women in the world like her, who could outshine everyone around with her natural beauty.
Even he, who had seen countless beautiful women, was amazed by her countless times.
Seeing that Michael Gordon didn’t say anything, she took it as his agreement and turned around without looking at him, heading upstairs.
“The image of Allure International employees has always been positive. I don’t want any of my company’s employees to spread rumors about having an affair with a married man, affecting the company’s image!”
Ivy had only taken two steps when Michael Gordon’s deep voice behind her echoed, a reminder and even a warning!
Ivy stopped for a moment and replied, “Please rest assured, Mr. Gordon, since I have joined Allure International and become a member, I will never do anything that would damage the company’s reputation!”
After speaking, Ivy went upstairs without looking back. As soon as she stepped inside, Bianca Aretha bounced in from the balcony. “Mommy, is that man just now Stelly Zaff?”
“Yes, what’s the matter?”
To Ivy’s surprise, her daughter asked this question very seriously.
“Nothing, I just thought that Stelly Zaff didn’t look like a stud, he’s quite handsome!” The little one thought for a moment and said earnestly, “Handsome men and beautiful women go well together, Mommy, I think he looks good with you!”
A match? This girl must have gone to the balcony to peek.
“Baby, you can’t judge someone just by their appearance. Haven’t you heard that you can’t judge a book by its cover?” Ivy quickly tried to guide her.
Bianca blinked her big, clear eyes, “No, Mommy, isn’t it said that ‘beauty is skin deep’? This handsome guy won’t be sleazy, right?”
Ivy was at a loss. She questioned whether her daughter’s behavior was something she taught herself, or inherited?
If she inherited it, it came from that scoundrel Michael Gordon’s difficult personality. She wasn’t this troublesome as a child.
“Baby, it’s late, let’s go to bed!”
Ivy didn’t want to drag the topic any further. Continuing would only deepen her daughter’s impression of Michael Gordon. She couldn’t figure it out. Her baby peeked at him from the balcony just a few times and already liked him so much.
Could this be the rumored blood is thicker than water?
With her eyes closed, Ivy pictured the faces of Bianca and Michael Gordon, their images constantly changing and merging into one.
In the following days, Ivy began her busy work again, working overtime almost every day. Ivy had no choice but to hire an aunt to take care of Bianca and pick her up from kindergarten.
Zach Gilbert came to bother her a few times, but she sent him away on the spot. Adding to that, Allure International had strict management, so Ivy was not harassed too much.
Knowing that Michael Gordon’s official personal secretary, Anna, would be back soon from her wedding leave, Ivy finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had been devoted to her job and had made no mistakes, even when Michael Gordon had created many difficulties for her, she had solved them one by one.
Just two more days, once Anna returned, she would be free. Moreover, the minister of the Legal Department said that as long as she passed Michael Gordon’s secretary’s assessment, she would be transferred. So, she had to hold on for two more days!
“Hello, I’m looking for Mr. Gordon, is he in?”
As she thought, a crisp voice came from the front and reached her ears.
Ivy looked up and saw a stunningly beautiful face. The woman had a slender, swaying blue dress, and waist-length, thick, long hair. The enchanting woman looked like a blue elf. What a charming woman!
At just one glance, Ivy couldn’t help but admire. However, no matter how stunning the woman was, she couldn’t find any sunshine in her eyes. If anything, there was only darkness.
“Do you have an appointment, Miss?” Ivy greeted politely.
“Appointment? Does Miss Larson need an appointment to see Mr. Gordon?”
Before Ivy could speak, a cold male voice interrupted her. She noticed a young man in his 20s standing beside the beautiful woman, seemingly quite young. Although he was wearing a suit, he looked like a student.
The unsophisticated young man was still called a youngster, but his tone was not only cold but also arrogant. He must be an influential figure! “May I know who you two are?”
Ivy swiftly searched her brain and found that there had been no appointment for these people, and Michael Gordon had not scheduled them for a meeting. Judging by their appearance, they were not ordinary people. Moreover, they could pass through the lobby and walk into the secretary’s office. They must be acquainted with Michael Gordon.
Therefore, Ivy didn’t intend to send them away directly.
“Who am I?” The man raised his eyebrows condescendingly, “Are you new here? Didn’t Anna hand you over? As expected, you’re just a vase. Besides being good-looking, you’re useless. Do I really not recognize the Young Master?!”
As he spoke, he arrogantly walked past Ivy, not putting her in his eyes at all, as if he was just passing by the secretary’s office. “Alya, let’s go find my brother!”
Upon hearing this, Ivy immediately closed her open mouth. It turned out that he was Michael Gordon’s younger brother and the second young master of the Gordon family. No wonder he was so arrogant!
Since he was the second young master of the Gordon family, Ivy had no choice but to let them pass, allowing him to arrogantly drag the girl named Alya past her.
