Ivanka did not ask and Michael did not say anything. A weird silence fell between the two.It was clear that they had just narrowly escaped a life-and-death situation, and yet they had suddenly become calm again.Ivanka did not understand why, and proud as she was, she would not ask.The air around them froze a little.An awkward atmosphere spreads among them. Michael seemed like he wanted to start a conversation several times, but he was cut off by Ivanka’s hums of agreement. At that exact moment, Sandy knocked on the door and walked in.The atmosphere in the room improved with the addition of a third person.Sandy walked in cautiously with her hands behind her back, as she sensed that the atmosphere between the two was a bit off.It was tense like arrows on drawn bows. Michael saw Sandy arrive and also made way for her to sit down.Sandy looked at Michael, whose chin stubble had grown out. For a moment, her heart went soft for him. “You go take a shower and clean up first

Sandy also saw that Coco was a pick-me. Although she had no idea how she was able to attach herself to Michael, she was definitely a pick-me. What kind of decent, nice girl would come up to someone and ask if she could live in their house with their ex-husband because she could leave him?Coco’s face went green and pale, she even spoke through clenched teeth. Ivanka was still chiming in. “In that case, call Michael now and tell him to move out with Ms. Coco. He’s lived here with me long enough anyway.” When Ivanka spoke, Sandy dutifully pulled out her cell phone to make a call.Coco quickly said, “Or… it’s better not!”Ivanka slightly raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a smile. “Why not? I’m really sorry, Ms. Coco. My house is small and can’t accommodate outsiders. Since you can’t part with Michael, you can go out and live together. You can also go back to the old mansion. When she heard how much Ivanka cared, Coco chuckled mockingly and did not answer.Sandy held

After getting fully dressed, Ivanka came out of the bathroom.She had a bathrobe wrapped around her, covering her assets.Michael could not help but imagine what was under the bathrobe. He subconsciously gulped.“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to. The door to your room was unlocked, so I pushed it and came in.” Michael knew that they were still giving each other the cold shoulder. He did not want to make it worse, so he started to explain himself.Ivanka glanced at him sideways and did not say anything, so Michael could not sense her current emotions.But one thing was for sure, Ivanka was not that angry.Otherwise, he probably would not have gotten through the door.However, the current stalemate, which left them feeling like strangers, was not a good sign. Michael decided to take the initiative to break the ice.“Are you free now? Come with me for a walk outside. We can’t have you continue misunderstanding me the whole time, can we?”Although Michael was smiling, it was a bitter s

Ivanka massaged her shoulder blades as she followed Coco inside.When Michael looked at Coco, an unmistakable flash of annoyance crossed his eyes.He could not fathom why Coco lacked any sense of propriety.Catching the blatant disdain in Michael’s gaze, Coco was stunned for a second, but she quickly masked her reaction and acted like nothing happened.With an air of entitlement, she casually pulled out the chair opposite Michael and sat down.Given that the house was typically occupied by only Ivanka and Michael, the dining table had only two chairs.With Coco making herself at home and claiming one, Ivanka could only stand by the door frame. She leaned casually against it and watched them.It was unknown whether she did it intentionally or not, but Coco began chatting away with Michael as though no one else was present. She shared her reflections on moving to the big city.She made sure to slip in a dose of self-pity at the end.“If it weren’t for you, Michael, I’d still be

Coco felt like she was waiting for a final verdict. Every passing second added to the unease.Finally, Michael nodded.“It’s good that you want to work. I won’t stop you. You can join Iv’s company and start in a mid-level administrative role.”Coco’s smile froze on her face.The company she had in mind had been Michael’s. However, knowing she could not let them realize her real intentions, she forced a stiff nod.Turning to Ivanka, Coco ground out the words through clenched teeth. “Then I’ll be counting on you, Iv.”Ivanka simply smiled. She did not even bother to reply with the usual polite phrase like, “It’s no trouble.”Having to guide someone who knew absolutely nothing really was a hassle.Especially when that someone was Coco.Why did Ivanka agree to let Coco work at her company, despite clearly disliking her?It was simply because keeping Coco right under her nose was a way to stay in control.Coco, of course, played her role perfectly and insisted she was fine star
