Chapter 2 Resolutely Reject His Request
When Ivy woke up, it was already two in the afternoon. She didn't pay much attention to when Charles left. After all, she never expected this busy man to have the leisure time to chat with her one-night stand about the pleasure of last night. In general, he was handsome and skilled, so she didn't suffer any loss.
However, she never expected that they would meet again so soon.
This resort is known for its quiet environment, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but Ivy did not expect that hailing a taxi would be so difficult. When she was worrying about taking a taxi, Lucas' car suddenly stopped in front of her, which surprised her. After all, she didn't think that the young owner of the development zone would remember such a little person like her.
" It's really not easy to get a taxi here. Where are you going?" Lucas asked casually.
"Downtown." Ivy answered.
"You're on your way, come on up, we're about to go back." Lucas' enthusiasm made it difficult for Ivy to refuse.
Since Lucas said so, Ivy stopped being hypocritical. Although she and Lucas had only met a few times, she knew that he was a well-known nice guy who always treated girls with special favor. However, when she got in the car, she unexpectedly found that the man staring at the computer in the back seat was Charles . He was wearing ironed black suit pants and a slim-cut white shirt, and his tall figure exuded an innate nobility. The driver had put the suitcase in the trunk, so Ivy had to bite the bullet and get in the car. As soon as she sat down, the familiar cold wood fragrance of Charles lingered, making her feel a little distracted.
The car fell silent for a moment. Ivy tried to reduce her presence as much as possible and looked out the window, trying to use the quiet environment outside to calm her inner turmoil.
Lucas turned around and wanted to talk to Ivy , but when he saw Charles's cold expression, he silently retracted his head. He thought the atmosphere was quite interesting, but he didn't dare to break it easily.
The car was already quiet. When the phone vibrated, Ivy subconsciously looked for it, but found that there was a pair of hands next to her that moved faster. Those hands had carefully described every part of her body last night, and the movement of sliding the phone panel at this moment seemed a bit ambiguous.
Charles thought it was work news, but it turned out to be a teasing from Lucas. [Last night she ordered room service and also asked for a box of birth control products. I didn't realize Jack was so fierce.] Charles frowned slightly and replied: [Are you perverted? Monitoring guests' privacy?] Lucas explained: [I just happened to pass by when the waiter was delivering it. But I remember that man's voice was a bit like you, not like Jack .]
Charles 's lenses flashed slightly under the light of the phone, and he closed the dialog box directly, unwilling to pay attention to Lucas 's teasing. However, Lucas did not give up and directly shared this "big news" in the group.
[Congratulations to our Charles for finally getting married and falling for this woman.] This news instantly sent out a circle of deep-sea torpedoes, asking which angel could move Charles , a cold-faced male god, so much.
Lucas looked at Ivy in the rearview mirror , recalling how she stunned everyone when Jack brought her here for the first time. Her unique temperament made even the most formal clothes look seductive. Such a woman is born to arouse a man's desire to conquer. He was originally worried that Jack could not control such a woman, but he did not expect that she would be involved with Charles .
The messages on the phone kept jumping, and Ivy felt her scalp tingling as she sat in the back seat. She found that Charles seemed to be looking at her, and that look made her feel as if she was being stared at by a black panther, waiting for the right moment to be snatched away. However , when Ivy mustered up the courage to turn around and ask him what he was looking at, she found that he had closed his eyes and was resting in the back seat. She breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps she was overthinking.
After getting off the car, they went their separate ways, and no more disputes were the best outcome. After all, a man like Charles would never lack one-night stands.
Lucas got off the bus halfway, and Ivy simply ignored his teasing look. She planned to ask the driver to stop at the next intersection and take the subway back. If she stayed with Charles, she was afraid that she would really suffocate to death.
" Address?" Charles's cold voice suddenly sounded, without any emotion.
" No need, I'll get off here..." Ivy was interrupted by Charles' slightly raised eyebrows before she finished speaking .
"Platinum Residence." Ivy had no choice but to tell her address.
The baffle slowly rose, and Ivy looked at Charles sharply. The man tugged at his collar impatiently, "Are you afraid of me?"
"No." Ivy didn't know what Charles meant. Did he want her to write a report for him to approve about what happened last night?
Hearing her answer, the man chuckled. His usually indifferent face made everything seem so unreal at this moment. "Weren't you very brave last night?" His words made Ivy lower her head in embarrassment.
