Chapter 3118
Ivy could not stop her brother from doing anything nor could she reveal the truth to Lucas, so all she could do was think of a solution as the situation unfolded. The next day, Archer and Ivy arrived at the company together. Archer was terribly bored, so he had had a talk with Ivy last night and asked her to bring him with her to work at Night Technologies. When Caspian saw Archer, his eyebrows rose. Ivy introduced them and said, "Caspian, this is my cousin. He comes from a wealthy family, and he's here in Taronia to experience ordinary life with me. Can you let him stay at the company? If there's anything he can do, you can assign him tasks, and he doesn't need to be paid a salary." Caspian paused for a moment. Archer smiled at him. "Hey, Caspian. You can take this casually. I can do any physical work, but I'm not so good at brainy stuff." Caspian realized that Ivy's wealthy cousin was physically fit but not intellectually inclined; he seemed like the type to bully other

Ivy nodded. "A little." "You should hide later, then." She chuckled. "I'm not that nervous. I will stand quietly. I promise not to say a word!" "Why would you be in my office when I have a meeting?" Lucas felt like Ivy did not know what it meant to be someone's assistant. "It's not an important meeting, right? Caspian said you don't want to accept the investment so why can't I stay and listen? Maybe I can help you if they try to trick you." "If they try to trick me, do you really think that I wouldn't notice?" Lucas retorted. Ivy cleared her throat. "That's not what I meant. What I mean is... my being here won't get in your way so why not let me stay and listen? I want to broaden my horizons! I promise not to make a single sound." Lucas studied her for a few moments, contemplating if he should let her stay. "Mr. Woods, would you like some tea? I bought a can of floral tea last night. Let me brew a cup for you to taste!" Ivy took out a can of floral tea from the display

In her mind, Ivy could not help but wonder if her older brother had purposely sent a beautiful woman to test Lucas. After Ms. Feake shook hands with Lucas, they both sat down on the sofa. Ivy took out her phone and sent a message to her sister: [Layla, Hayden intentionally sent an incredibly stunning beauty here. Even I, as a woman, am captivated. He's being so ruthless!] Layla replied with a laughing emoji. [Hahaha! Take a picture and show me! Let's see how beautiful she is!] Ivy raised her phone, ready to snap a picture of Ms. Feake. Just then, Caspian walked up to Ivy and said, "Ivy, go and get a glass of water for Ms. Feake." Ivy immediately put away her phone and asked Ms. Feake, "What would you like to drink, Ms. Feake?" Caspian was a bit surprised. "Do we have anything other than water to offer in the office?" "I bought some floral tea and premium honey! Caspian, would you like to try some?" Caspian responded, "Let's serve the clients first!" "Okay..." Ivy turn

Ivy looked at Lucas's face and blinked. "Mr. Woods, I was just curious so I came to take a look." "Do you remember what you said earlier?" he asked. "I said I wouldn't speak, and I didn't. I just came to take a look," Ivy replied earnestly. Lucas was momentarily speechless, and Caspian could not help but chuckle. "Ivy, you're not afraid of Mr. Woods at all, huh?" "Is he scary? I don't think so. As an employee of this company, I want to take an interest in its future development!" Ivy said confidently. Lucas shifted his gaze back to the form in front of him. Soon, his brow furrowed as the questions on the form were rather absurd. For instance, the first question on the form was: 'Is your health in good condition? Are your parents healthy? Any hereditary diseases?' This was followed by the second question: 'How many romantic relationships have you had? What's your marital status? Do you have a girlfriend? Are you married? Do you have children?' The third question on the for

Caspian was quick to respond, "She's Lucas' assistant." "Oh! An assistant making decisions for the boss? Mr. Woods must really dote on his employees," Ms. Feake said. Caspian burst into laughter. "It's not quite like that. They knew each other before she began working here, so their relationship doesn't follow the typical boss-employee dynamic." Ms. Feake chuckled. "I see! Mr. Woods, we're not particularly interested in your privacy. We asked you to fill out this form because we want to understand you better. After all, we haven't had any prior contact. As long as you answer these questions truthfully, and there aren't any major issues, we can proceed with the transference of the investment funds." Caspian found her request quite reasonable and continued trying to persuade Lucas. "Why don't I fill it out for you? I know you quite well." Ms. Feake interjected, "Sorry, that won't work! Each question needs to be answered by Mr. Woods himself for accuracy. My father places great

Ms. Feake smiled gracefully and alluringly. "Of course! This is what your brother assigned me to do, so I will do it!" Ivy looked incredulous. "My brother instructed you to do this?" Ms. Feake patted Ivy's shoulder and laughed. "Exactly! Did you think I actually had my eye on Lucas? Ivy, he's not my type at all! I prefer men like your brother." Ivy blushed sheepishly. "Lucas and my big brother are kind of the same type, aren't they?" At the very least, Ivy felt they were quite similar. Ms. Feake waved her hand dismissively. "They are absolutely different! Your big brother is successful, mature, intelligent, and wise. How could Lucas compare to him?" Ivy frowned slightly. "Ms. Feake, my big brother is getting married soon, so don't fall for him!" Ms. Feake covered her mouth and laughed. "I know your big brother is getting married. He's the kind of person I could only dream of dating." Ivy joined in the laughter. "Actually, Lucas is very capable, too. He just graduated, a

Ivy answered honestly, "It's been three years since I last saw him, so it's true that I don't know him that well. Regardless, he's helped me in the past, and I will never forget that." "Well, your brother is actually planning to invest in Lucas' company; that much is true. He knows that Lucas helped you before and sees this as a way of repaying him." "Oh, what else did Hayden say? Did he have a message for me?" Ivy asked. Ms. Feake shook her head. "No. He just told me to keep an eye on Lucas." Ms. Feake proceeded to give Ivy her phone number, and as Ivy saved it to her phone, she asked, "Ms. Feake, what's your name?" "Missy Feake." "Hahaha! That sounds exactly like 'Ms. Feake'!" "Funny, right?" Missy said. "A little. Can I call you Missy from now on, then?" "You can call me whatever you want, princess." Ivy could not help but burst into laughter. The two emerged from the restroom, only to see Caspian rushing ahead of them in a flurry. Missy immediately called ou

Without hesitation, Caspian said, "I've seen people like that before! If I had a cousin that pretty, I would obey her every word, too!" Lucas was instantly rendered speechless. "Should I book the restaurant for lunch now? Ms. Feake specifically asked to dine with you, so you ought to oblige." "You need to come along," Lucas said. "Hahaha! Look how scared you are. It's almost as though you are worried that Ms. Feake will swallow you whole." "Don't you think she's weird? She acts just like Ivy did when she first came here." Caspian shook his head. "It's not the same. Ivy didn't call before coming here; but Ms. Feake did, and we agreed for her to come." Lucas realized that there was no point in arguing with Caspian and waved him off. "Go ahead and book the restaurant." After a pause, he continued, "You said Ivy and Ms. Feake are getting along, right? Bring Ivy along as well." "All right! I will let her know." Caspian emerged from Lucas' office and ran into Ivy, who retur
