Chapter 124: 115、Mr. Gordon’s Overbearing Love

Calvin Gordon personally led her to the legal office of Allure International. That day, he told everyone that she would be their future CEO’s Wife!

That undoubtedly gave her a sense of security!

Ever since the accident six years ago, when Michael Gordon lost his memory, his relationship with his father, Calvin Gordon, had improved significantly!

Michael had completely accepted him as his father. There was no more hatred between them. After all, blood is thicker than water. And with Calvin’s support, her back was straightened.

But she didn’t expect Michael to slap her hard in the face in front of so many people at Allure International today!

He announced in front of the entire company that he was pursuing Ivy Aretha, declaring that he would win her over, and because of a single sentence from her, he even refused to eat lunch!

How could she, as his newly appointed fiancée, cope with this?

With so many colleagues present, where would she place her dignity?

Michael had already left the canteen with large strides, and now all the gazes that had initially been on Michael and Ivy were fixed on her face!

Unfortunately, none of those eyes showed any sympathy!

They were all filled with ridicule!

Alya Larson had never cared for others’ sympathy, but compared to mockery and ridicule, she would rather choose sympathy, showing that she played a significant role in the sequence of events!

Now, she seemed to be a vicious supporting female character in this story!

If that’s the case, she could only do more wicked things to suit her role, otherwise, how badly it would undermine her character!

"We’ve finished eating; let’s go back!"

a twisted expression briefly passed her face, and she immediately resumed her beautiful and wise demeanor, exuding a sense of peace, as if nothing had happened.

"Alya, do you think Mr. Gordon is really pursuing Ivy?"

Lydia Summers, who had always been against Sophia Young, looked at Alya and asked, since it was closely related to her alliance with Michael, and she didn’t want to lose completely after just winning one round.

"Ahem, aren’t you all familiar with Mr. Gordon’s temperament? He always tops the headlines every few days. Since he’s been quiet for a long time, he needs to make some headline news to make some money for the Department of Public Information at Allure International!"

As Alya spoke, everyone around her suddenly understood!

Michael Gordon was always a hot topic for front-page headlines, and Allure International was an entertainment film and television company, so the money from this headline went straight into their pockets!

Michael used to show up on the front pages every few days, but it seemed that he hadn’t appeared for a month or two, so it was time for him to make a headline!

"I knew it! How could Mr. Gordon possibly like a girl with no background like Ivy!"

As soon as Lydia heard the words, her eyes lit up, "Our Alya, as a godmother personally appointed by Chairman Gordon for the CEO’s Wife, can’t be compared to Ivy Aretha!"

After Michael’s ruckus, Ivy’s mood was off for work, and she was frequently distracted while reading contracts.

"Miss Anna, what brings you here?"

A surprised obsequious voice broke Ivy’s chaotic thoughts, and looking up, she saw Minister Maria Young’s flattering smile as she greeted CEO Office’s secretary Anna.

Her smile was brilliant.

Ivy suspected that this woman was born to suck up, or else how could she not hide her flattering disposition even in a simple smile and greeting?

Wherever Michael’s secretary went, she represented his CEO presence at the legal department, so Maria Young, the savvy woman, naturally had to curry favor with her.

"I’m here to find someone!"

"Are you looking for Miss Larson?"

Maria Young’s eyes instinctively glanced toward Alya Larson’s seat, where Alya met her gaze. "Miss Larson is here!"

"Mr. Young, thank you, but I’m looking for Ivy to help!"

Anna ignored the seat indicated by Maria Young.

She craned her neck to search for Ivy among the rows of seats, causing Maria Young’s face to turn red and white. She stepped over the line sucking up!

It would have been much better if she hadn’t added that last bit!

To remedy the embarrassment she left after making a redundant remark, she hurriedly shouted toward Ivy’s seat, "Ivy, Miss Anna is looking for you, please come out!"

"Mr. Young, no need, I’ll go to her." Anna gave a slight smile and walked toward Ivy’s seat.

Maria’s face became even more embarrassed!

Today really wasn’t a suitable day for talking too much. Even trying to flatter someone with words ended up being wrong one sentence at a time.

Finally, too beaten down to say another word, Maria silently followed behind Anna.

"Anna, what do you need me for?"

During their brief handover period as Michael’s secretary, Ivy and Anna had similar personalities and interests, so they got along well and were on a first-name basis.

"It’s not that I came to find you for anything, but Mr. Gordon asked me to do so!"

Anna sighed, "Mr. Gordon skipped lunch today, is suffering from a stomachache, and is resting in the lounge. The doctor prescribed him some medicine, but he insisted on not eating, saying he would rather die of pain than eat!"

Anna’s voice was quiet but clear enough for the rest of the legal office to hear.

Whenever Anna showed up, she represented Michael, and since she came to the legal department, people were naturally more attentive. All their ears were pricked up to listen.

When they discovered that the CEO was suffering from a stomachache but not taking medicine, and that the CEO’s secretary was looking for Ivy, it seemed like there must be some illicit connection between them. Eagerly, everyone strained to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Why would he refuse to eat and then take medicine for his stomachache? What got into him?"

Although it seemed like a complaint, in Anna’s ear, who knew the situation, it was a genuine concern. Her calm eyes flashed with an enigmatic smile.

"Mr. Gordon says that if you don’t let him eat, he won’t eat. Otherwise, you’ll think his sincerity is not enough. You should go check on him. I don’t dare to persuade him with his temper!"

Anna’s words were matter-of-fact without any emotional undertones, as if she was being serious about a very ordinary matter. However, when Ivy heard these words, she almost jumped up from her office chair.

"What? I told him not to eat?"

As soon as this question came out, Ivy remembered that she had just given away his meal in the canteen earlier because he said he went there to pursue her, not to eat.

What a fool! When she gave away his food, couldn’t he just get another serving?

Why starve himself?

He had never been so obedient when taking advantage of her. How could he be so obedient now?
