Chapter 264: Chapter 263: Ivy River Treats

Edwin Blake still wanted to say something.

Alexander Hodges hurriedly dragged him away, "Miss Sutton, if there’s nothing else, we’ll take off first. You get busy, we won’t hold you up."

Ivy River continued with a sarcastic comment, "Remember to put on your clothes and mask before you go out, so no one recognizes you as Edwin Blake. We won’t be responsible if you end up on trending searches."

"Why would he end up on trending searches?" Alexander couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"Haven’t you noticed he looks like someone who just got bullied?" Ivy laughed.

Alexander took a quick glance.

Immediately he covered his mouth and said no more.

But his eyes betrayed him, "Bro, be good and wear your mask."

Edwin glanced at him, said nothing, and put on his mask before stepping out.

Ivy called out from behind, "Be prepared tonight. Tomorrow will hurt more than today."

Edwin ignored it.

But his hand holding the doorknob trembled for a moment.

Ivy noticed it.

She smiled and said, "Don’t worry, President Blake, there’s nothing to be afraid of."

Edwin, being stubborn, responded, "I’m not afraid."

Then he walked straight out.

Alexander stood there in shock for a moment.

Finally realizing, he quickly followed, "Bro, wait for me, let me support you! Your back won’t handle it!"

As soon as he said that.

The hospital corridor instantly became a bit quieter.

The nurses and doctors exchanged glances, none daring to speak.

After the two went down the elevator and glanced at Ivy’s office, making sure she wouldn’t come out, they started talking.

"Did you see just now, President Blake was holding his lower back as he came out. No one would know what he went through in there!"

"I saw it, it looked pretty intense. But this is a hospital, isn’t that inappropriate?"

"Why can’t President Blake come to Director River for treatment?"

"It clearly doesn’t look like it. If it really was for treatment, I’ll give up my performance bonus this month to treat everyone to milk tea!"

The nurses were chatting back and forth.

Isabella Yeaton, standing at the back of the crowd at some point, couldn’t hold back, "President Blake came to see Director River for acupuncture. Don’t overthink it."

Upon hearing this.

The nurses immediately shouted, "Just now Little Wang said if it was for treatment, he’d treat us to milk tea! Did everyone hear that?"

"We heard, we heard! Milk tea! Can we make another unreasonable request? How about some cake too?"

As everyone was shouting.

"Fine, I’ll treat you. Let Isabella know what you want to eat."

Ivy’s calm voice echoed in their ears.

Isabella promptly turned around, "Director River, when did you come out?"

Ivy’s expression was calm, "When you were talking about having cake with milk tea. I’ll treat everyone to afternoon tea today, enjoy. You decide on the milk tea, I’ll decide on the cake, alright?"

"Alright, thank you, Director!"

Isabella hurriedly thanked.

Everyone else also recovered and followed with, "Thank you, Director River!"

Ivy smiled, knowing they felt uneasy with her there.

She patted Isabella’s shoulder, handing over her water bottle, "Get me some water later, and buy the milk tea, I’ll reimburse you. Thanks."

After Ivy turned and left.

Isabella quickly reacted, "Everyone, vote in the group chat for what you want to drink. I’ll send the list."

"Alright!"

The nurses happily started discussing what to eat.

This was the first time a director treated them to afternoon tea.

Isabella filled the water and returned to the office.

"Director, should I arrange the patients for this afternoon?"

Ivy yawned, "Let’s start around three. I want to take a nap. Treating Edwin Blake earlier wore me out."

"Alright, I’ll arrange it later. Anything else?"

"Nothing else, just that I left your phone number for the cake delivery. So, please pick it up when it arrives."

Isabella was shocked, "You really ordered cake for us!"

"Yes, I promised you, so I have to deliver. It’s already ordered, just be ready to receive it."

Ivy said, waving her hand.

"I’ll leave then. I’ll save some for you later."

"No need, just enjoy it yourselves. Except, save two small peaches for me; they’re for my daughter."

Isabella nodded, coordinated with Ivy on some tasks, and then left.

Ivy, seeing it, closed the curtains and locked the door.

She opened her tablet to finish Isla’s final design draft.

The design competition was approaching quickly.

After sending the final draft to Isla, she quickly received a message back.

[Hi, Lynn,

It’s Isla Sutton. I want to ask you some professional questions. If my fingers are swollen, can I still draw the final draft?

Will it affect my design?]

Ivy sneered.

Now you’re worried? Isn’t it a bit too late?

She replied officially.

[Normally, yes, but if you can endure the pain, there won’t be a problem.

Additionally, you need to pay the remaining balance. You added a ring and earrings later, so the remaining balance is 80 million. Please transfer it to my bank account within three business days. Thank you.]

Isla received the message.

Her heart trembled for a moment.

million!

Even though Edwin Blake had given her some money recently.

It was still far from enough.

If she’d known her design fee was so high, she wouldn’t have added the ring and earrings later.

She planned to play dead and not reply.

The next moment.

Lynn’s email came again.

[Miss Sutton, hello.

I hope you adhere to the contract. The design competition is imminent, and damaging your reputation over a few tens of millions in design fees isn’t worth it, is it?

So, within three days, I hope to see the remaining balance. We signed a contract, and it’s all in black and white. Thank you.]

Two pictures were also attached at the end.

They were electronic versions of her signed contract.

Isla gritted her teeth in hatred, "This Lynn, she’s really something, not giving an inch! 80 million, you say it so easily!"

Ivy couldn’t hear her cursing.

But thinking of Isla’s gritted teeth expression put her in a great mood.

She happily finished her tasks and went to take a nap.

Isabella received a call from the cake delivery person in the afternoon.

"Hello, I’m Isabella. Is this the cake delivery? You can leave it in the delivery locker, and I’ll pick it up later."

The cake delivery person replied awkwardly, "Uh... you’d better come down to get it yourself. It’s hard to put in, and there isn’t enough space in the locker."

"Ah! Alright, I’ll come down."

The cake delivery person advised, "Bring a few more people with you."

"Alright, alright."

Isabella, not knowing why, called two close colleagues to come with her.

On the way, she was still thinking.

What kind of cake doesn’t fit in the delivery locker? Could there be that many orders today?

But when she arrived.

She was speechless.

"Didn’t I tell you to bring more people? Why are there only three?"

The delivery guy frowned.

Isabella said, "I’ll call more people immediately. Are these all for Isabella?"

"Yes, they’re all yours."

The delivery guy confirmed the phone number and pointed to the pile of cakes on the ground.

With a helpless expression, he waved and left.

Isabella stood there in the wind, petrified.

No one told her there were so many!

A colleague patted her, "Are you sure there’s no mistake?"

Isabella said, "I don’t know. The information seems correct. It must be that Director River ordered too many..."

"This is too extravagant! Ordered from Sapphire!"

The nurse couldn’t hold back anymore and screamed.
