Chapter 549: [Bonus Chapter]Why, Ivy Wei?

"Why?!?"

Dane and everyone flinched a little at Heaven’s echoing voice. They turned their heads to see why Heaven was yelling, but the venue was empty. It was just them.

"What is she doing?" Bella, from the art department, furrowed her brows. "Don’t tell me she is outside but still reaches us?"

"Is that the new employee in the art department?" another employee asked Bella, only to see the woman nod.

"She’s a bit energetic, but she’s a hard worker." Bella smiled. "Sorry about that."

"Let’s not mind her." Dane shook his head as he let out a shallow breath. "Anyway, as I was saying, since the theme is a masquerade..."

Without putting too much thought into what the mischievous errand girl was doing, everyone continued with their discussion. As Dane spoke, they jotted down notes so they wouldn’t miss even the smallest details.

Meanwhile, Heaven heaved a sigh of relief behind the pillar. She snapped her eyes to the person hiding beside her, clicking her tongue mildly.

"Come with me," she said, snatching Ivy’s wrist and dragging her outside the venue.

They exited in the long hallway connected to multiple function halls. Since there were only a few people inside, Heaven didn’t want others to hear their conversation. She took Ivy as far as she could take her, and before they knew it, they sat on the bench in the garden.

"Uhh..." Ivy bit her lips, gazing at her friend sitting beside her on the bench. "Heaven?"

"Give me a second, Ivy." Heaven raised a hand, eyes closed, breathing heavily but steadily. When she snapped her eyes open, she faced her friend squarely. "Now, tell me, why, of all people, will you fall in love with that guy?"

Ivy assessed Heaven’s expression first before she answered with a heavy heart. "This is why I was reluctant to tell you who the man was. I have the feeling you’d react like this."

"Of course I will!" Heaven exclaimed as if that was the most obvious thing. "As your friend, I listened to all your rants on this journey for love! I don’t say it always, but I always think the guy you like is a total jerk! Now that I know it’s actually that squid, I can’t wrap my head around it! Why him?!"

They looked at each other with Heaven sporting a mix of shock and dismay, while Ivy carried a little reluctance.

"He’s good-looking," Ivy started listing the good things she liked about Dane Zhang. Obviously, the first on her list was something Heaven strongly disagreed with. "You’re a little biased because of your husband. In your eyes, Dom is better because he’s your husband. But for me, Mr. Zhang’s face alone is definitely my type."

"???" Heaven couldn’t help but scrunch up her nose. "Ivy, I really think you should wear glasses."

"Just call it not your cup of tea." Ivy frowned. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and for me, Dane is really handsome."

"..."

"He’s also smart," Ivy continued, taking her friend’s speechlessness to add the good things about Dane. "Sometimes, he’s a little silly. But trust me, whenever Dane takes things seriously, he’s hot."

"You’re ridiculous."

"I should say the same, since in my eyes, you liking Dom is ridiculous. There isn’t anything good about him."

"Hey, my husband is the best!"

"Only to you." Ivy clicked her tongue and sighed. "Dom is only good to you, but everyone who works with him knows how annoying he could be."

"Attacking my husband won’t make Mr. Zhang a better dude."

"That’s not what I’m trying to point out. I’m just saying to you that Dom is the best. But in my eyes, Mr. Zhang is better. It’s a difference in preferences."

"At least Dom doesn’t make me chase after him to the point I look desperate."

"Well..."

"Not all the time, Dom and I agree on something. There were days we didn’t see eye to eye, but even with that, Dom always stubbornly kept his ground," Heaven continued. "My point is, if it’s non-negotiable, he would assure other people, including me, know about it. I don’t think Mr. Zhang has that same conviction because if he does, you would’ve stopped a long time ago."

"He’s not leading me on."

"But he let you linger around him, knowing you like him."

"But meeting him is inevitable." Ivy frowned. "I work side by side with Dom and we have a few projects going on. Aside from the mining venture, we have other projects together. So, he’s not letting me linger around. If anything, Mr. Zhang had always been clear about our professional relationship. It’s my fault for holding on to someone, despite getting rejected a hundred times."

Heaven opened her mouth to argue, but in the end, she shut her lips tight. For a moment, she could only look at her friend before a deep sigh escaped her nostrils.

"That’s not my point," she sighed once more. "But I guess you’re too caught up defending him that you are missing my point. Whatever. Nevermind."

She paused and leaned back, eyes still on Ivy. "Goodness. I’m sorry for saying this, but I seriously think you need to get your eyes checked."

"I already did a week ago."

"Huh?"

"Someone told me the same thing. I might have eye problems, so this friend dragged me to an ophthalmologist to check them. I have 20/20 vision."

"Then your eyes are not the problem, huh? But in here?" Heaven tapped her temple, making Ivy sport a deep frown. Ivy looked at Heaven helplessly, but somehow, she couldn’t help but remember Tiger. Heaven and Tiger had some resemblance in personality. Their honesty was nothing but insulting.

"Why, Ivy Wei?" After a moment, Heaven asked the biggest mystery in her mind at the moment. "All the good points you told me about Mr. Zhang were all about his appearances. I don’t think you’d chase after him for such a shallow reason. What made you like — love him this much?"

Ivy pressed her lips into a thin line, looking into Heaven’s eyes while her mind pulled her back to the memory of the past.
