The CEO’s Billion Dollar Bride

Chapter 16: 17、A step away from you Chapter 16: 17、A step away from you Huh?

Why was it that when he heard the word “satisfied” come from Michael Gordon’s mouth, it was like it was colored, it was exactly the same tone as the morning when he had beaten her six years ago. Before she could think about it, her face instinctively erupted with two pink blushes.

Ivy Aretha felt the heat on her face, and just as she was about to turn her head away, Michael Gordon’s soft laugh came to her ears.

“It’s just letting you be my personal secretary, not making you my bed partner. Do you need to look so shy just to seduce me?”

Michael Gordon leaned forward slightly, his pair of deep and charming eyes staring at the cheeks of Ivy Aretha that unconsciously climbed with a blush, the corners of his mouth filled with a teasing smile, his mood improved greatly.

Upon hearing this, Ivy Aretha’s mind exploded with a bang, all her consciousness instantly returning from that morning six years ago to reality. As she looked up at Michael Gordon’s captivating eyes, an inexplicable anger swept through her body.

Although she had said that if he survived that day, she could settle new and old grudges together, she didn’t know at the time that she was pregnant. So there was no clearing between them, and he owed her baby.

This man had dared to force himself on her even though he didn’t know her at the time. She was drugged that night, which could be forgiven, but wanting to do it again the next morning when he was sober, made her wonder how many women he had done this to during all these years?

Thinking about it, Ivy Aretha’s heart felt like it was tightly closed off by a ball of cotton, unable to get a single breath, even breathing became difficult.

When she was impulsive, she forgot her own identity and role. Ivy Aretha looked up with a semi-smile, meeting his gaze: “Mr. Gordon, does your bed partner really need to be seduced? I thought any woman would do!”

After Ivy Aretha finished speaking, she slammed the notebook in her hand onto Anna’s office desk and turned to leave: “I’m going to the bathroom!”

She wasn’t foolish enough to provoke him and then wait for him to strangle her. Why was her normally good self-control unable to restrain herself when she encountered this man?

She was fully aware of how important this job was, and she knew that this man was only joking with her, so why couldn’t she help herself?

Looking at Ivy Aretha’s fleeing figure, Anna couldn’t help laughing. She really loved this beautiful woman from the Legal Department who came to help.

“Such a temper, this woman must have eaten ambitious wild cats, daring to throw a fit and walk away while I’m present?!”

Michael Gordon’s face instantly darkened to the extreme, he couldn’t help but want to tear this woman apart. No woman had ever dared to talk to him like that.

Anna glanced at the volcanic Michael Gordon, and gently reminded him: “CEO, Ivy Aretha seems to be a decent girl, maybe she just can’t take your joke!”

A decent girl? Michael Gordon carefully chewed these four words in his mind, and his face slowly turned better, and finally, he even put on a ghost-like smile.

But intuition told Anna that this smile was absolutely not worth admiring. Usually, after he smiled like this, someone would suffer, and this time…

“Anna, tell Ivy Aretha to be at Gorda Hotel by 8 pm tonight to attend a signing ceremony for a new batch of celebrities!” Michael Gordon said then left straight away hanging his suit jacket.

Any woman can get on?

Heh
He’s going to show her tonight just how outstanding he is and how many women have stripped down to be his bed partner!

When Ivy Aretha returned from the bathroom, Michael Gordon was already gone. She heaved a sigh of relief and was informed that she would be attending a celebrity signing ceremony tonight.

Upon hearing that it was a celebrity signing, Ivy Aretha did not mind, knowing that this was the Legal Department’s work, and she was familiar with it, so she did not pay much attention to it.

Although she was only taking over for Anna for a 15-day honeymoon leave, Anna had still handed over the details very seriously, including Mr. Gordon’s preferences, important clients exclusive to the CEO, and even his emotions, eating habits, and everything else.

What surprised Ivy Aretha even more was that as the CEO’s personal secretary, there was another important task – professional cannon fodder.

About this professional cannon fodder, Anna had specifically explained it carefully to her. As a top diamond bachelor, Michael Gordon has money, power, beauty, and wealth.

Such a perfect man naturally became the pursued object of many famous women and A-list movie stars. As his most competent personal secretary, it was only natural for her to take on the task of cleaning up his romantic messes, which is the so-called professional cannon fodder.

“Cough, Anna, does the CEO really have such a narcissistic hobby?”

After listening to this, Ivy Aretha couldn’t help but complain to Anna. Guarding against troublesome admirers even for the secretary, not calling him narcissistic would be a disservice to her fair and honest nature.

“Cough, Ivy, you really shouldn’t say that. Our CEO is just so handsome, wealthy, and powerful that you can’t find a second one in Andras City. There are so many famous women and A-list movie stars that come after him, not to mention the ones who try to get close. If we don’t help the CEO block them, he probably wouldn’t be able to go to work!”

Anna spoke vividly and tirelessly, making Ivy Aretha speechless. Was this a secretary or a nympho?

“Is that so? This guy looks like a born trouble-making face, and those peach blossom eyes of his, everyone who looks at him seem like they want to take him to bed. What are these silly girls throwing themselves at him for?!”

Ivy Aretha shook her head speechlessly, hoping that Anna would agree with her, but Anna just stared blankly at her, without saying a word, and her mouth was even slightly open in surprise.

“Anna, don’t think that I’m ruining your image of your God in your heart. What I’m saying is the truth. Looking at our CEO, it’s obvious he’s a playboy that attracts bad love. Good girls don’t like this kind of man. This kind of man should just be looked at. If he becomes a husband, he would probably have dreams of being stolen at night. So, I think…”

“Cough cough cough…”

Halfway through her speech, Anna suddenly coughed a few times at Ivy Aretha, then blinked desperately.

“Anna, what’s wrong with you?”

Ivy Aretha saw her expression was a bit strange, furrowed her brows, and then saw her regain her composure, and continued organizing her things with a long sigh.

“Ah, flies don’t land on flawless eggs. This saying is so true!”

Born with a face that’s interested in everyone and attracting reckless women.

As Ivy Aretha tidied up, Anna, who had always been reminding her to pay attention to details, suddenly stopped talking after coughing softly, and the room fell quiet with only Ivy Aretha’s incessant chattering echoing.
