Chapter 7 Is She Really Not Your Woman?

The department party was held at a newly opened high-end club. Laura complained to Ivy all day about it. They were the small employees who always paid for the leaders' meals on a AA basis, and had to endure their vulgar jokes and forced drinking. When would this bad habit be eradicated?

Ivy parked the car, picked up her bag and said, "Forget it. If you dare to post these complaints on the company forum, you will definitely be accused of having no team spirit and promoting individualism."

Laura rolled her eyes and got off the car mumblingly. Then she saw Mia walking into the door with Daniel, the greasy man with a Mediterranean hairstyle, smiling.

" It's really strange. She can even get close to such an old bald man. Don't you think our company can find some more handsome male colleagues? I'm almost losing motivation to go to work."

Ivy got out of the car. In this season of H City, even the night wind was hot and humid. "Hurry up and go in. If you're late, you'll be fined for drinking."

It was the old rules for entering the house. Laura reacted and pulled her in quickly.

"I thought you were stuck in traffic. Now everyone is here, let's go." Mia said, and then she turned to Daniel, "The song you sang last time must be the finale today. I'm not tired of hearing it yet."

This flattery was just right, Daniel patted Mia on the waist happily .

" Charles , Lucas ." The club's waiter hurried past them, and when he reached the door, he opened it directly. The man who came in was wearing a well-tailored suit, followed by bodyguards. Who else could it be but Charles?

Ivy looked away subconsciously, but Charles' eyes were not on her either.

It was hard to imagine that he had kissed her passionately with those thin lips not long ago.

"Ivy , nice to see you again." Lucas greeted them warmly. Obviously, the people who followed them in one after another were all friends in their circle, and they were also the ones that Jack racked his brains to please.

Seeing Lucas greet them, everyone looked towards them, and their eyes immediately locked on Ivy , the most outstanding one , and their eyes became ambiguous.

"Why don't you ask someone to come over and play with you?"

Lucas pretended to be serious and said, "Then don't ask me. I can't make the decision."

Charles walked straight into the VIP elevator without stopping, as if to say, "If you want to talk, just stand here and talk, I'm leaving first."

Lucas smiled at Ivy and said, "Come up and play when you have time."

Anyway, she could ask the waiter where they were. It was just that ordinary people couldn't go up there, but Lucas' words gave her the green light.

" Ivy , do you know Lucas ?" All the colleagues in the department were a little surprised. Even Daniel 's face changed, regretting that he didn't take the opportunity to hand over a business card. Mia 's eyes fell on Ivy vaguely , and finally said lightly: "You knew each other when you were with Jack , right? Being pretty really helps, right? Jack can't even walk when he sees him like this. Ivy should go out more often, she is wasting her talent in our administration department."

Laura rolled her eyes and was about to go up to her to argue, but Ivy pulled her back and looked at Mia with a half-smile, saying, "I can't help it. I was born with such good conditions. You should not understand my distress."

" You!" Mia's face changed and she almost jumped up in anger. A colleague in the department quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Let's go. I can't wait to hear Daniel sing a song."

"That's right."

Everyone can see that Mia likes to be in the spotlight in everything and is always against Ivy, but Ivy doesn't take her seriously at all.

Charles had just sat down when he heard Eric questioning Lucas.

"She's really not your woman?"

Lucas pushed Eric away and said, "Go away, it's mine. Why am I pretending with you?"

He is not a loser. With such a beautiful woman in front of him, how could he just look at her?

Thinking of this, Lucas looked at Charles , still playing with playing cards in his hand, "Did the talks fall apart that day?" He had clearly heard that Jack had organized a group to deal with his ex-girlfriend, and some people even avoided his voice, and rushed to negotiate, so he went to Dihao first. In the end, he sat there smoking alone, but he couldn't enter the box. Lucas was very curious about what happened in the middle to make him lose his composure like this.

"Mind your own business," Charles said coldly.

Well, you can’t mess with an unsatisfied man. He’ll get angry if you say a few more words to him.

Lucas turned around and gave a few instructions to the waiter.

As soon as Mia entered the box, she felt like she had found her home court and started running all over the place. She had a good singing voice and she held Daniel in her arms. After one round, the wrinkles on Daniel's face looked like chrysanthemums blooming.

Laura nudged Ivy , signaling her to be careful.

As expected, Mia came over with a glass of wine, " Ivy was able to handle such a troublesome client like Mrs. Cheng, so everyone in the administration department should give a toast, right?"

Ivy knew she would do this. "I have to drive soon, so I won't drink tonight."

Mia raised her eyebrows, "That's really not nice of you. We've all had three rounds of drinks, and you don't consider us your own people."

Ivy was fed up with Mia's trouble-making style. Just as they were in a stalemate, the door of the box was opened and the waiter brought in wine and a dessert fruit plate.

"It's the wrong order, we didn't order that."

"That's right, this is Lucas's treat for everyone, and all the expenses tonight are also charged to Lucas' account."

The bottle of wine was worth at least 100,000 . Everyone fell silent. Mia was so embarrassed that she asked, "No wonder Ivy didn't bother to toast?"

Laura had been enduring this woman for the whole night, but she was annoyed by her sarcastic words, so she said sarcastically, "Just know it, Lucas will never ask Ivy to drink, who do you think you are?"

The colleagues coughed a few times, and the waiter put the food down with a smile and walked out.

Ivy's heart sank, and she wasn't sure what Lucas meant by doing this. Logically speaking, their personal relationship wasn't that deep.

Mia was too embarrassed to stand on their side. She was mainly worried that Ivy would really dump Jack and get close to Lucas , who was not on the same level as Jack .

As soon as Ivy sat down, Laura asked, "What's going on between you and Lucas ?"

Ivy shook her head. "I'm not sure. But one thing is clear. With Lucas delivering wine tonight, the days ahead won't be too difficult."

I just don't know how long this good life can last. She glanced over and saw a few people lowering their heads guiltily. They were all the ones who had been making trouble for her in the past period of time.

Ivy was wondering whether she should go and thank Lucas, or whether he sent these just to get her to come?

A strong smell of alcohol and a woman's perfume wafted into her nose, making her frown. Her shoulders sank, as if Daniel had changed his seat and sat next to her.

" Ivy , I'm actually very optimistic about you."

It was a typical start of a weasel greeting a chicken. Ivy pushed his hand off her shoulder without leaving a trace, turned away from him, and said, "I still have a lot of room for improvement. Thank you Daniel for always leading us."

"Hey, you're welcome. I just didn't know you were so familiar with Lucas." Daniel's sticky eyes fell on her chest.
