Chapter 770: Chapter 468: My Transfer Order Has Arrived
To live well... that requires a husband by your side, right?
Now he’s in a distant land, though she wants to live well with him, but she can’t reach him.
Humans are truly peculiar creatures. They barely knew each other before they got married.
Aside from physical contact, they don’t really understand each other.
Yet... because he is now her husband, she actually misses him.
It’s not about love, she just thinks about that lover far away.
Sometimes she wonders if human consciousness can really control one’s heart.
She is probably tied down by those two words: "husband."
The next day at the company, Ivy Miller immediately saw Supervisor Liu standing in the lobby.
Seeing her staring directly at herself, Ivy instinctively knew the other wanted to talk to her.
She thought about it and bravely walked over, standing in front of Supervisor Liu with a calm expression.
"Good morning, Supervisor Liu."
"I’ve been waiting for you. Go clock in and then come with me, I have something to say to you."
Ivy glanced at the clock-in machine not far away, walked over slowly, clocked in, and then returned to Supervisor Liu’s side.
She gave her a cold look and then walked towards the door, Ivy pursed her lips and followed.
Talk all you want, she doesn’t believe the other would dare to commit murder and silence her.
Supervisor Liu led her to the back of the office building, saw no one around, and stopped to look back at Ivy.
Ivy wasn’t scared at all, raised an eyebrow, after all, she wasn’t the one at fault, she had no reason to be afraid.
"About last night..." Supervisor Liu said a few words and then suddenly fell silent, staring at her.
Ivy calmly said, "What about last night? I didn’t offend you, right.
You walk your own path, I cross my own bridge."
"Since you think so, I hope you can keep your mouth shut and stop spreading nonsense."
Ivy sneered, turns out she’s afraid she might spill her secrets.
She thinks way too highly of herself. Ivy really doesn’t have the hobby of doing such boring things.
"I’ll keep my mouth shut, naturally.
Your business is none of mine, and I won’t waste words in front of others.
So there’s no need to assume the worst about me."
Supervisor Liu sneered, "Fine, I know your connections are strong, just go ahead and be arrogant."
"Stop talking nonsense."
"Nonsense? You’re not the only one who saw my secret last night, I saw yours too.
Aren’t you with the famous Owen Law Firm’s boss?
Dare you say you joined the company not because of your connection with Lawyer Lian?"
"Tch," Ivy was annoyed, only those who like to rely on connections would keep focusing on others’, right?
But whatever, the mouth is hers, she can say whatever she wants, Ivy doesn’t care.
She’s neither a mistress nor a fraud, what’s Supervisor Liu capable of doing to her?
She turned to leave, Supervisor Liu watched her back with a calculating look.
Last night Lawyer Lian said Ivy was his good friend’s wife, wasn’t she?
Turns out she’s already married...
As soon as she entered the office, Supervisor Liu followed in.
Today’s work was arranged by Supervisor Liu, not much content, but far from relaxing.
Supervisor Liu didn’t accommodate her despite having her secrets discovered.
Of course, Ivy hadn’t planned on being accommodated either.
Just found Supervisor Liu’s behavior truly annoying.
People who become mistresses and ruin families aren’t worth forgiving.
And those men who abandon their wives to seek other women are even less worthy of forgiveness.
In Ivy’s eyes, they are nothing but a pair of adulterers.
A month later, Ivy’s work was smoothly progressing.
She’s gone from needing to work overtime every day to occasionally working overtime once or twice.
Moreover, she almost doesn’t need a dictionary when translating materials now, which is a good thing for her.
After dinner, Ivy lay on the bed browsing online orders, ever since she started working, her Taobao shop relied entirely on Qingqing and Qiaoniu to support her.
She’s only recently started getting back to her old trade.
She wasn’t looking for long when Henry Sullivan sent a video request.
She answered the video and chatted with him for a while, as they were talking, a phone call came in.
Seeing that the caller ID showed Jack Jude’s number, she casually answered the call.
"Hey, Jack."
"Ivy, are you still at the office?"
"No, I only worked an extra half hour tonight before coming back, anything you need?"
"Not much, just made some dinner and thought of delivering it to you.
If you’re not there, then I won’t come."
Ivy felt something was off, a bit pressured, lately Jack Jude had been overly enthusiastic towards her.
At first, she suspected she was overthinking, but these days, she felt it wasn’t just her imagination.
"Brother Jack, you don’t need to trouble yourself so much in the future.
I’ve already adapted to everything in the company, so there’s no need to look out for me specifically."
"Oh, well, um, I didn’t mean anything else, just that we’re all colleagues and should take care of each other."
"Brother Jack, I didn’t mean anything else either. We’re all colleagues here, and if we get too close, people might gossip."
Jack Jude was silent for a moment before saying, "I’m not afraid."
"But I am, Brother Jack. I’m not exactly popular in our department as it is. It’s better to just work diligently."
"I know Team Leader Liu always gives you a hard time, but... she has connections, so don’t take it to heart."
"She has connections, but I don’t. I just want to work well, without people talking behind my back and causing trouble for you and myself. Besides, I’m worried my husband might misunderstand me because of this."
"Husband?" Jack Jude seemed a little surprised: "You... you’re married?"
Ivy Miller nodded: "Yes, I’ve been married for over eight months."
"Then why have you never told any of us?"
"I didn’t think there was any need to tell everyone. I’m here to work, not discuss family matters."
Jack Jude’s tone became a bit distant: "But if you don’t say anything, people might assume you’re single, and they might..."
Ivy Miller raised an eyebrow: "Might what?"
"Never mind, never mind. There’s no point in discussing this with you. I’ll hang up now; there’s something else I need to deal with."
As soon as he finished, the line was filled with the beeping of a busy signal.
Ivy Miller chuckled to herself. Was it really wrong to not mention her marriage?
It was clearly Jack Jude who had ulterior motives towards her.
In retrospect, her husband is really something.
But was offending Jack Jude a smart move? She was already on thin ice in the office due to Team Leader Liu’s connections.
Now it’s even worse... she’s really going to be all alone in the office from now on.
Life probably won’t be very easy.
As soon as the call ended, a video request from Henry Sullivan came through.
Ivy Miller answered the video, and Henry Sullivan on the other side hastily said, "What happened? I kept trying to video call you, but it wouldn’t connect."
"It wasn’t that it wouldn’t connect; a colleague was calling me."
"So late, who’s calling? Can’t it wait till tomorrow at the office?"
Ivy Miller playfully rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "A male colleague who seems to want to pursue me thought I was working late and made some nourishing soup for me."
"Pursue you? What’s wrong with men these days? Even married women are targets."
Ivy Miller gave a mischievous grin; the key point is, the guy didn’t know she was married.
She hasn’t told anyone at the company about her marriage.
But she certainly didn’t plan on letting her husband know; if he found out, he’d definitely scold her.
"Maybe it’s because I’m pretty charming, but he didn’t say he wanted to pursue me. It’s just that he occasionally brings me meals or soup."
Henry Sullivan’s face darkened: "Is this the same guy who once brought you food?"
"Yes, it’s him."
"Keep your distance from him from now on. That’s an order, not a request."
Ivy Miller stuck out her tongue: "He never said he was out to pursue me, just has a bit of a crush."
"It’s hard to say no to free food."
"So I haven’t taken any of it. I haven’t eaten what he’s given me."
Henry Sullivan raised an eyebrow: "I say one thing and you counter with two. You’re clearly picking a fight."
Ivy Miller laughed, "I’m not picking a fight at all. I’m just telling you, I’m pretty well-liked. If you don’t hurry back, I don’t know how many admirers I’ll have lined up."
"You woman... would you die if you don’t show off?"
"Can’t help it, I have a show-off personality," Ivy Miller laughed heartily twice. "Alright, Grandpa, don’t be mad. I’ve already told that colleague to talk to me less because I’m afraid my husband would get angry."
"What did he say?"
"He got angry and hung up."
Henry Sullivan snorted coldly, "That kind of guy has no class. Keep your distance from him."
Ivy Miller nodded: "Yes, sir."
"Also, I’ve got some news. My transfer order came through, and I’ll be back in Anchester by next month at the latest, so your good days are over."
A moment ago, Ivy Miller was happy enough to dance hearing the first part.
But after hearing the second part, she immediately felt this man was a downer.
Who does that, raining on someone else’s parade all the time, never missing a beat.
He really breaks the mold.
"When you come back my good days are over? Who do you think you are, King Yama, coming to take me away?"
"What nonsense is that? I mean, when I get back, I’ll have high standards for you.
If you try anything funny, I’ll be very strict."
Ivy Miller rolled her eyes, "Grandpa, if I’m honest, I’m a very self-disciplined person.
I’m a soldier’s child, and now I’m also a military wife. Can you not underestimate me?"
"Want to make a bet with me?"
