Davies’ was a big company. Most of the management team dressed like this. There was nothing strange about it.
But when Abby’s eyes fell on the face of a man in front of her, she was shocked all over. In only two seconds, she also quickly lowered her head, pretending to be busy and buried in the office.
“…As for some details, we will ask the translator and all the management team members of our company to have a discussion at the meeting tomorrow afternoon…”
It was a young woman in black business attire speaking. Short hair growing to shoulder, she had a delicate make-up and her temperament was quite good. With a proud, confident and wise smile on her face, she said to the man near her, “Ivan, pass me the document.”
The man was also in trim business suits, genteel and decent. His whole person seemed to have an elegant demeanor.
This was Ivan!
He gave Luna a doting smile, opened the folders he carried and handed it to her.
Abby listened to the management team’s conversation seriously as they walked through the open-plan office.
The man was Ivan, and the woman is the one who happened to meet in the hotel.
Oh my god! What a coincidence!
‘The person she always wanted to evade is working in the same company. Can she have peace of mind in the future?’
Abby felt a headache and wrung her eyebrows with her hand.
“Everyone’s gone. Why are you still so afraid?” The voice of Luka sounded in her ear.
Abby then raised her head and saw that the pack of people had gone far away, and only their back could be seen in her sight. ‘They didn’t notice me just now, did they? I hoped not!’
“Abby, you are so timid.” Luka laughed at her.
What happened in a sudden completely destroyed Abby’s merry mood. She nodded with a wry smile and said, “Yes, it’s better to work hard.”
Luka pouted, thinking that the new colleagues were all like this, they wish all the senior management could see their conscientious and assiduous attitude towards work.
The telephone rang on the desk, and Abby picked it up.
“Miss Jones, please bring the documents about the cooperation project with the Overseas Gorge. I have a piece of foreign information that you need to check.”
“I see.”
Abby put down the phone, found the document and went to the office of the Chief Secretary Office.
After taking the information, she went back on the same way.
As it was the first day of work, her feet which seldom wear high-heels for a long time were uncomfortable.
The tip of her toes was strangled pain. She looked around and found no one, so she walked slowly against the wall.
This was just the beginning. She had to take a few days to get used to it.
However, it really hurts.
At this time, Abby began to regret her not willing to wear high-heeled shoes in the daily time because of seeking for comfort.
“Let me help you. Does your foot hurt?”
The man’s voice suddenly sounded, which frightened her jump.
Looking up, she saw Ivan’s gentle smile, which was exactly the same as it was five years ago.
Abby clenched her teeth and stood straight, “Thank you, I don’t need your help.”
With that, she took a step and strode towards her office.
She didn’t want to tangle with her ex-boyfriend in this place, which may breed rumor. What’s more, she also clearly understood that the girl was not someone to be trifled with.
But things always didn’t go as you wish. Something you didn’t want to get involved was apt to involve you.
Just as soon as Abby finished speaking, she felt her arm suddenly tightened. Ivan’s big hand had already seized her.
Frowning, her face revealed some displeasure and she said, “Let go!”
“What if I don’t?” Ivan’s long eyebrows rose. His tone was like a bit of a rascal.
Abby clenched her teeth and said in a low voice, “Ivan, here is company. Please don’t go too far.”
“Going too far? You mean I have overdone it.” Ivan suddenly smiled, which made Abby feel grim.
Abby didn’t want to see him like this. She turned away, but she heard the man’s cool voice and felt cold for no reason.
“Abby, you are deliberate, aren’t you?”
‘Deliberate? What’s the meaning?’
Abby’s eyes were puzzled.
“You chose Davies Group on purpose, didn’t you?”
“What do you mean? What do you want to say?” Abby’s voice was full of displeasure.
Just then, a few colleagues came across.
The imprison force on her arm suddenly had gone. Their colleagues came over, smiling and greeted, “Mr. Taylor.”
All the strange expressions on Ivan’s face disappeared completely, and replaced by a friendly face applicable for the conversations between the boss and his subordinates.
Seeing this, Abby wanted to seize on the opportunity to sneak away. As soon as she stepped forward, she heard the man behind her speak.
“Miss Jones, have you finished translating the materials the secretary general assigned you just now?”
This man was really… Abby really wanted to rush up and tear Ivan.
She turned around, also with a professional smile, calmly said, “Not yet.”
Perhaps he did not expect that she would be so calm. His eyes flashed a little surprise, but soon recovered to calm. He nodded his head and said, “Well, show me the documents.”
Abby wanted to refuse, but the man’s eyes had already begun to sweep on the documents in her hands. It seemed that it was impossible not to show him.
Ivan, who took over the document from her hand, began to read it carefully. The other two colleagues saw this and said, “Mr. Taylor, since you are busy, we should go back first.”
“OK.”
Until their colleague’s back disappeared in sight, Abby snatched the documents back from Ivan’s hand and turned to leave.
How could Ivan be willing to let her go?
A gloomy sparkle flashed in his eyes. Then he took a step forward with his big foot and grasped her soft and slender waist. With some force by his arm, he peremptorily pulled her to one side of the emergency access.
“Ivan! What are you doing?” Abby was angry and struggled to roar.
“Listen to me.”
After Ivan entered the emergency access, he had restrained her weak body at the narrow corner of the wall and put his big hand against her side.
Abby was almost speechless with her hands on the man’s chest.
“It’s OK to talk, but I don’t like this posture. Please show some respect to me. I…”
Before she finished her words, Ivan grabbed her jaw.
Ivan was a head taller than her. He looked down at her from a height, which boosted his condescension.
“Abby, I haven’t expect, your skills of playing hard-to-get remained so excellent after these years.”
