The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 14: Teasing your boss is fun
"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
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 19: Unexpected incident
"Sorry for the interruption; I'm bringing in some coffee."From outside, Ivy announced, then gently opened the door without waiting for any response or permission from those inside. As soon as Ivy stepped into the room, still standing by the door, Ryan visibly displayed his dissatisfaction. Ivy's delay in bringing him and his esteemed guests their coffee annoyed Ryan."Why did it take you so long to make coffee?" Ryan criticized me irritably. "Don't use the excuse of running out of coffee grounds and having to go to the grocery store to buy them."Knowing that Ryan was intentionally trying to make things difficult for her in front of the guests, Ivy didn't show any anger. Instead, she remained calm and composed, tactfully explaining:"I apologize; I took a bit longer due to personal reasons.""Is your personal issue more important than my satisfaction, as well as that of my guests?" Ryan continued to nitpick. "Remember, my time is very valuable. You're just a regular secretary, so you
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 20: Ivy Is Pregnant?
"Sigh, come on, you two," the mediator interjected to prevent things from escalating further. "It's just a minor issue, not worth arguing over. I'm fine, so..."It seemed neither of the two men were paying attention to Jacob's advice, their tension palpable as they glared at each other."Hey, are you guys even listening to me?" Jacob sighed in frustration and disappointment at being ignored."I just can't understand why you trust her like that, Mason," Ryan pressed on, his frustration evident."My gut tells me Ivy didn't have any ill intentions in that situation," Mason admitted."But you know she's capable of deceiving everyone," he insisted firmly. "Acting is her nature. I can't stand her arrogant attitude, thinking she's better than everyone else and doesn't see anyone as anything.""Why don't you just fire her then?" Mason asked, exasperated by Ryan's stubbornness, which sometimes irks others."I was just about to do that," Ryan exclaimed, extremely frustrated. “But you jumped in
The return of the rebellious bride. Chapter 21: Ryan reconfirmed Ivy's pregnancy
When alone in the room, Ryan dared to show concern over the news that Ivy might be pregnant.He was sure that it wasn't his child but someone else's. Ryan was certain of this because he had been using contraception before meeting Ivy and up until now. Therefore, the likelihood of Ryan impregnating someone was very low.So, what was Ivy's purpose in revealing her pregnancy? Was she planning to toy with Ryan to frighten him? Or Ivy would carry out the plan just as Ryan had anticipated, and he only needed to close his eyes to envision every detail clearly.If that were the case, how should Ryan deal with it? Still unsure of what to decide, he first had to find out the truth and determine Ivy's intentions.After much thought, Ryan finally took action. He immediately called Ivy into the room to talk. As usual, Ivy didn't bother knocking. Without announcing anything, she just calmly rushed into the room."What do you want to say?" Upon entering, Ivy immediately spoke up, refusing to allow h
