The CEO's Billion Dollar Bride-Chapter 37 - 38. Go deeper

Chapter 37: 38. Go deeper

Looking at the two of them entering together, Ivy Aretha couldn’t help feeling disdainful. Just because she was good-looking, she was considered a vase?

Ivy couldn’t help but size herself up and down, falling into self-admiration. Indeed, she was beautiful, but who said she was a vase? Even Michael Gordon, their leader, couldn’t find faults in her now. This second young master is so shallow, calling her a vase as soon as they meet.

As Ivy was mumbling in her heart, the phone in the secretary’s office rang.

“Ivy, come in here!”

Michael Gordon’s deep and cold voice came through the phone, which was completely different from his usual lazy tone. It felt suppressed with anger. Ivy had a bad feeling.

Could it be that his younger brother is here to ask him for money?

Ivy quickly went into the CEO Office after hanging up the phone. As soon as the door was pushed open, before she even had time to greet him, a torrent of reproach came at her.

“Ivy, is this your first day at work? Do I still have to teach you such things? Don’t just look like a vase, or people will think you really are one. Who told you that you can burst in without an appointment!”

Mr. Gordon threw a great fit, and Ivy realized she might have made a mistake. She should have at least notified him. But did the brothers need to be so high and mighty?

“I’m sorry, Mr. Gordon!”

Ivy looked up to find that Michael Gordon’s face had turned from a delicate white to a dark, charcoal-like black. The once-arrogant second young master was now full of anger.

On the other hand, the woman named Alya remained composed, just quietly sitting on the sofa, her gaze falling on Michael without leaving a trace. She was gentle and generous, seemingly possessing the temperament of a well-bred lady.

Ivy had a hunch…

“Brother, what do you mean? You’re the CEO of Allure International, the one in charge of this company, but I’m also dad’s son. I didn’t say anything. I just brought my future sister-in-law for a visit, and you’re saying such things in front of your secretary?”

Young Master Skyler Gordon finally exploded!

Future sister-in-law? Michael Gordon’s fiancée? That’s the only possible explanation.

Damn, this man just went on a blind date with Sienna Harrison not long ago, and now he’s engaged to someone new? And wait, Michael’s future wife would be the stepmother of her precious daughter, right?

As she thought about this, Ivy couldn’t help but take a few more glances at this elegant and noble woman. Alya Larson was sitting on the sofa in perfect etiquette posture. Her long waist-length curls made her look even more charming under her elegant smile.

If this was the sort of stepmother Skyler had, then it’s likely that no one would notice if she was mistreated.

A stepmother? What was she thinking? Ivy couldn’t help but admire her own overactive imagination. Her baby girl had a real mother; she didn’t need a stepmother. What she might need was a stepfather, though.

“Skyler, don’t say I didn’t warn you. With such a young age, you should focus on your studies instead of being calculating and scheming. Don’t blame me, your brother, for not warning you!”

It was evident that Michael was very angry. It wasn’t surprising that siblings from rich families often had bad relationships. After all, it’s mainly about property disputes.

What Ivy didn’t understand, though, was that Skyler was a young student. The age difference between the two brothers should mean that the battle for property wasn’t supposed to happen yet.

“Brother, you’re going too far with this. Bringing our future sister-in-law to visit the company isn’t the same as scheming against others. Dad asked me to bring her here so she could take a look and, at the same time…”

“At the same time, camp out here and supervise me?”

Skyler’s words were interrupted by a decisive cut from Michael!

“What do you mean ‘supervise me’?” Skyler retorted as he glanced at Ivy, who was still standing. “Sister Alya is here to help you. You should know that Alya isn’t just some ordinary vase. She gave up her own career to come here!”

As Skyler spoke, a proud smile appeared on his face. The woman before him, elegant and gentle, certainly deserved his pride.

“Alright, Skyler. Michael is a bit upset; don’t fight with him like a child,”

Alya finally stepped in just as the brothers were about to lose their tempers even more. Though she didn’t speak much, her voice had a profound effect on them. The argument between the two brothers was instantly diffused by her one simple explanation of Michael’s sour mood.

As Ivy suspected, Alya was indeed a schemer!

“Michael, Skyler is still young and impulsive. As his brother, you should be more patient with him. This predicament happened because of me…”

“Indeed, he’s still young. But you’re not!” Michael coldly interrupted Alya before she could finish. “And this is the company. Please address me as CEO or Mr. Gordon!”

Upon hearing this, Ivy almost burst out laughing. Who could be so self-loving? He actually asked someone to address him as CEO or Mr. Gordon!

It seemed like he had never been a CEO before, waiting to be addressed by others!

Alya’s beautifully-made-up face finally lost color, and she sat there in embarrassment without speaking for a while.

Ivy chuckled inwardly. Michael was indeed ruthless, cutting her off before she could finish. Clearly, Alya had been about to say that the whole situation was her fault and that Michael should blame her instead.

If she had said that, Michael wouldn’t have been able to continue blaming her. It seemed Michael didn’t consider this woman his ideal wife after all!

She was probably a wife chosen by the family, considering her appearance and temperament. A noblewoman without a doubt, and a standard wealthy family’s choice of daughter-in-law. It wouldn’t have been a surprise for the elders to force her on him!

For some reason, as she thought about this possibility, the heavy feeling in Ivy’s heart disappeared. Her chest felt lighter, and the air in the CEO’s office seemed to become fresher!

“Mr. Gordon, Skyler and I just came to have a look, and we didn’t mean anything else. Since you’re busy, we’ll come back another time!”

Alya was a smart woman; she could see that staying here would only result in Michael disliking her more.

Michael Gordon was different from the usual wealthy young masters, who are portrayed as gentle and refined. This man strutted around like an overlord, getting angry when he wanted and rewarding when he was happy, without pretense.

Even though it seemed like they’d both already reached their breaking points, Alya’s simple explanation of Michael’s sour mood smoothed everything over, giving them a way out of the argument.

As Ivy thought, Alya was indeed a calculating character!
