The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 11: Big discovery
In that instant when their four eyes met, Ivy's eyes widened, ceasing their movement, her once elegant face suddenly paling.Ivy's expression upon seeing Ryan was a mix of astonishment and shock.While Ivy struggled to control her emotions, Ryan appeared carefree, his smug smile utterly detestable.What on earth was happening? Why was that wretched person here? Oh dear, it's unbelievable that Ryan is the new CEO! Her mind screamed, filled with indignation. "This is absurd," she muttered under her breath.Ivy's mind was in turmoil, overwhelmed by the unexpected situation. Upon realizing that this was not a dream but reality, a reality that was absurd and infuriatingly inconvenient, Ivy felt she couldn't accept the truth. She was determined to dismiss this foolish prank. Gradually regaining her composure, Ivy adopted an air of arrogance to calmly address the situation. Lowering her voice to a friendly tone, Ivy spoke."Apologies for my abrupt intrusion," Her smile was hesitant, accompan

"Are we out of arguments to debate, then? Let me see what you'll do to get out of this." Ryan observed Ivy's contemplative expression, feeling immensely satisfied as her silence met his statement.Meanwhile, Ivy casually ran a finger over her thick, dark eyebrow, scratching it. It was a habit when she concentrated on her thoughts, and oddly enough, it was Ryan who seemed patient, waiting for her to sort through the chaos with an unprecedented interest. Finally, Ivy gently stroked her proud, long hair, stepping towards Ryan a bit, her tone questioning."I thought you'd never want to see me again, right? So what's the point of wanting me to work here?""It's just a random coincidence," Ryan reluctantly explained. "I need someone to assist in understanding the situation at AB Company as well as in directing its development, and you were recommended by Vivian, the former director. And in these tough economic times, I'm sure you also need this job. Honestly, when I acquired this company, I

The two exchanged hostile glances for what seemed like an eternity before Ryan finally shook Ivy's hand."I also look forward to your assistance," Ryan replied, along with an announcement, "From today, you will be my secretary. I hope we can work together happily.""Why a secretary?" Ivy frowned in confusion. "My position has always been in the business development department.""Secretary is the appropriate position for you," Ryan emphasized. "You will excel at it, won't you?"Ivy rolled her eyes in annoyance, understanding the underlying implication of Ryan's words. Clearly, Ryan wanted to limit Ivy's strengths, and having her nearby would make it easier for Ryan to toy with her."I understand," Ivy replied gently. "It's a position not everyone can handle. I feel valuable. Thank you very much, boss."Externally, Ivy smiled warmly, but internally, she was trying to endure. Ivy reminded herself that it would only be three months, and then everything would end. By then, she would repay

"Here's your coffee." Ivy gently placed the cup of coffee on the table in front of him. "Boss, drink it quickly before it gets cold and loses its flavor.""Even making a cup of coffee takes you too long," Ryan snapped immediately. "You really lack efficiency.""In the company kitchen, there was no more coffee, so I had to go down to the grocery store downstairs to buy it," she retorted, not backing down. "And what else do you expect from a resourceful employee like me? Instead of just criticizing others, you should care about the quality of life of your employees and stock up on other foods too, because your kitchen is lacking.""The issue is that it takes too much of your time to make a cup of coffee," he criticized sternly. "Spending too much time on one task leads to wasting too many other things.""Blame it on the broken elevator, not me. I had to walk from the first floor to the twentieth," Ivy retorted indignantly, immediately catching the unpleasant frown from her boss. Afraid
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 15: Retaliation was unsuccessful
Ivy thought that Ryan's pestering for the day had ended. However, Ryan seemed to have another plan. He felt the need to retaliate against what Ivy had just done as soon as possible. He couldn't bear the additional discomfort tormenting him. Ryan was naturally competitive, and losing made him feel disappointed and unacceptable.Just as she turned away..."Ivy, you're mistaken." His voice, unexpectedly captivating and unusually warm, broke through the silence. "How could I ever forget those wonderful moments of that night? You called my name with a sweetness surpassing any sound I've ever heard. It was like melting chocolate or honey, irresistibly smooth." His expression seemed a bit sheepish. "I enjoyed the satisfaction and contentment on your sensual face, revealing an intense desire. Every detail of your body is etched deeply in my mind—your smooth skin, gentle fragrance, and intoxicating sweetness. The heat was radiating as our bodies merged into one. Sweat, temperature, and the hea
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 16: Ryan's friend shows up
Time passed swiftly, and it was quite some time before Ryan could return to work after calming his nerves. Ivy's direct and powerful attack was truly terrifying. Ryan had to admit that this time he had been defeated by Ivy. Despite feeling angry and frustrated, Ryan couldn't do anything for Ivy, but that didn't mean he was giving up. He vowed to seek revenge in a spectacular manner next time.As Ryan was contemplating his next move, it was already lunchtime. Just as Ryan was about to deal with another issue, he received a lunch appointment call from Mason Taylor, Ryan's friend and personal lawyer. Truth be told, Ryan wanted to decline, but he couldn't, as the lawyer himself had come to pick him up. While Ryan was getting ready to leave the room, Mason Taylor was engaging in small talk to get acquainted with Ryan's secretary. Ivy was the topic of discussion among the women in the company, getting scolded by the boss without a care in the world. Because he had heard about Ivy and was cu
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 17: Mason's teasing
"Ryan. What's going on with you?" Mason was curious upon noticing your puzzled expression. Suddenly, he had to witness Ryan's childish outburst of wounded pride. This made Mason cautious and concerned. "You're displaying unwarranted petulance. Is something bothering you?""You care about her." Ryan asked indifferently. "I remember you didn't have time for flirting, did you?""Who are you talking about?"Seeing Ryan's silence, the lawyer immediately found the answer."Talking about your secretary, aren't you?" Mason confirmed again.Ryan remained calm, but his facial expression looked rather uncomfortable."It's not unusual for me to start noticing a girl." Without caring whether Ryan listened or cared about what he said, he declared confidently. "Honestly, I've taken a liking to your secretary.""Are you kidding me?" Ryan asked skeptically."I'm serious," Mason affirmed."Since when?" Ryan remained doubtful: "Don't tell me it's just now. Saying that you two have known each other befor
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 18: Impolite guest
Over the past two weeks, Ivy has not been doing any work related to the duties of a secretary. She comes to the company as if she's going out for leisure, casually playing with her phone, switching between watching movies and playing games. When given tasks by her boss, she either doesn't fulfill them or simply neglects them altogether. She's actively proving herself to be useless and irresponsible, as she previously declared: she'll only cooperate with those she deems worthy; otherwise, she's quick to part ways. Ivy's defiant behavior has irritated many people, leading them to curse her, and Ryan is extremely furious. Due to the fear that Ivy might cause damage to the company, Ryan no longer assigns her important internal tasks, aside from some trivial personal matters. Therefore, Ivy's job now resembles more of a footman for Ryan than a secretary for the CEO of company AB.To be honest, Ryan is quite fed up with the situation. He hasn't encountered anyone as stubborn and courageous
