Chapter 6 He Already Has a Beautiful Woman

Ivy had never expected that Charles would ask the question again so directly. She took a deep breath, tried to calm her inner turmoil, and slowly said, "Charles, can you please answer a question for me first?"

"Speak." The man's eyes were still wandering on her face, but Ivy couldn't see the depth in his eyes.

She knew clearly that Charles had never shown any special attention to her since they met. It was not until that day when she took the initiative to send the room number that everything started quietly. Even at this moment, although Charles' hand was caressing her waist, he did not take any further action, as if he was waiting for her instructions.

It seemed as if every tug-of-war between the two was initiated by her.

" Do you like me?" Ivy asked softly.

Charles raised his eyelids and responded calmly: "You worry too much."

Ivy's heart sank suddenly. Although she had already guessed the answer, she still felt angry at being treated as a plaything when she heard him admit it so frankly. However, his straightforwardness was much better than Jack's deception under the guise of love.

At this time, Charles had withdrawn his hand, as if those ambiguous and provocative words just now did not come from his mouth.

"I'm just guessing. In this case, I can only reject Charles' proposal." Ivy said.

Charles raised his eyebrows, "Have you thought about it? Can you tell me the reason?"

Ivy found it a little funny. The man in front of her sometimes seemed rude, but sometimes pretended to be a gentleman at certain times, asking for her opinion everywhere, even in matters of bed.

"As you can see, I just experienced a betrayal, and my trust in men has dropped to the freezing point. So, in this state, I don't plan to start a new relationship."

"But I'm talking about a long-term sexual partner. We only talk about pleasure, not feelings." The scarlet on his fingertips burned slowly along with the smoke. The smell of tobacco intertwined with the cold wood scent on his body. It wasn't unpleasant, but Ivy still felt a little suffocated.

She felt that it was a waste of time to continue dwelling on this issue.

" If Charles finds it embarrassing to be rejected, then in order to thank you for your help today, I can treat you to a meal in return." Ivy's words revealed repeated rejections.

"No need. Since we can't come to an agreement, our relationship should end here until I become more interested in you. You can leave." Charles said, and looked away from her.

The lust for her in his eyes also disappeared.

Although Ivy couldn't control herself as well as he did, she was still grateful that he knew when to stop. Although they were indeed very compatible in bed, it was impossible for them to maintain an equal relationship with such a person. If they wanted to get out in the future, they would inevitably be labeled with various labels and would always be considered to have ulterior motives.

She stood up. "Goodbye, then, Charles."

Charles did not respond, and Ivy turned and left. When the heavy door of the box slowly closed, she realized that her back was already wet.

It turns out that in such a big city, if you don't deliberately look for someone, the chance of meeting is very small. In the next half month, Charles completely disappeared from her world.

The news of her breakup with Jack spread like wildfire, and Jack's courtship, which was originally vigorous , ended hastily after only three months of love. While Ivy was relieved, she also noticed the changes around her.

Unfortunately, her premonition came true.

"You can even make mistakes with such basic data? Are you an intern? How long have you been in the company? You make me doubt your professional ability!"

She received a notice in the middle of the night last night that the data report she had rushed out overnight had problems again, so naturally she couldn't avoid severe criticism.

But Ivy did check it carefully before saving and uploading the data. If there is still a problem, then it can only be said that it is not her who is at fault, but those who want her to have problems .

Mia, who was submitting documents at the same time, suddenly said, "I see that Ivy has received a lot of complaints recently. Mrs. Cheng, who originally booked the banquet yesterday, also said that there was an error in the dessert table. As a colleague, I still hope that you will not affect our entire administrative team because of personal feelings. After all, we should keep the needs of every customer in mind."

Ivy ignored Mia and placed the printed report in her hand on Daniel 's desk. "I don't know why the cloud data is wrong, but just in case, I still printed a copy. Can you take another look at the data to see if there are any errors or omissions?"

Daniel obviously didn't expect Ivy to back up the data, so he pretended to look through it.

Ivy looked at his actions and understood that the reason why he had been making things difficult for her during this period was simply because he had heard about her breakup with Jack and was deliberately making things difficult for her at work.

" I personally went to Mrs. Cheng's house yesterday with gifts to apologize. Mrs. Cheng has expressed her understanding." Ivy said.

Daniel was stunned and threw the report on the table. Mia didn't expect Ivy to be so good.

After coming out of the office, Mia still followed Ivy.

"What's the point of working so hard? Jack has already said that your life will only get harder and harder from now on."

"Whether I can survive or not is my own business. You don't need to worry about it."

It's not your first day in the workplace. You've jumped into the same pit before, but you want to jump into it again? Does she think she's stupid?

Laura saw her come out and quickly handed her the coffee. After watching Mia walk into the team leader's office in high heels and twisting her waist, she rolled her eyes and said, "You came in through the back door by yourself, and you have the nerve to tell your colleagues that you rely on Jack ."

" Forget it, why bother with her." There are many such people in the workplace.

Laura dragged her chair over. "Why does Jack bite you like a mad dog? Breaking up is a normal thing! The planning department is so arrogant now, and they keep causing trouble for our administration department, saying that they have Jack as their backer, and they are all like peacocks spreading their feathers."

Ivy didn't want to talk about the shitty things that happened with Jack. Seeing that she was constantly scrolling through her phone, she asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Oh, today's headline news says that Charles is suspected to have a girlfriend, and she's a supermodel."

Ivy 's hand paused slightly, and then she opened the document on the desktop to check the upcoming schedule and team meetings. Laura patted her shoulder, " Have you seen Charles when you went out for social events with Jack before ? Is he really as handsome as in the photo?"

"I didn't notice." Ivy paused and replied.

Laura nodded without any suspicion. "Oh, by the way, don't forget the department party tomorrow night. I think Mia is well prepared this time. Daniel, that old pervert, has been eyeing you for a long time. Once the news of Jack breaking up with you gets out, he might try to take advantage of you. You have to be smart, or just run away if you can't."

Ivy felt a headache when she thought about the situation that was about to happen. "Okay."
