Chapter 680: Pepsi’s husband?!
Days later...
Ivy jumped in surprise when a short honk rang in the parking space. She turned her head curiously, furrowing her brows as she squinted her eyes at the black sedan parked several steps from her vantage point. When a person got out of the driver’s seat, her tense expression relaxed.
"I should’ve known it was you," she said, turning on her heel to face Tiger. "It’s been a while."
"It has been," Tiger shrugged nonchalantly, stopping two steps from her. "What are you doing here?"
"I have to talk to Axel about something," she kept her answer short and vague. "How about you? What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be escorting Dominic?"
"How did you know that?"
"Heaven mentioned it in passing," she smiled. "It’s the same for Mr. Zhang. Now, not only he would care for the company, but the entire country."
Tiger scrunched up his face a little at the mention of Dane. It was true that when Dominic stepped down from his position in the Lyon Group, Dane also sent his resignation letter. The man chose to follow Dominic. It was the same for some in the CEO’s office. They chose to work for Dominic instead of staying in the company and assisting Axel.
"Please tell me if you’re going to talk about him, so I’d know if I will walk you in or go on my own," he remarked, making her chuckle.
"Can’t you see my hair?" she asked, flipping her short hair that was two inches above her shoulder. "I’m a little closer to moving on. Work and everything helped me take some things off my mind."
"Good."
The two of them wordlessly turned and walked, heading to the entrance connecting to the building. As they did, the two casually chatted. After the anniversary incident, Tiger and Ivy didn’t have much chance to see each other. Tiger visited her during her stay in the hospital to check her well-being, but after that, they busied themselves with the matters of their lives. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say this was actually the first time to catch up after months.
"You haven’t answered my question," she said as they got into the lift, casting the man beside her a look. "What are you doing here?"
"I’m visiting."
"Axel?"
"Nope." Tiger glanced at the numbers above the door. "Just someone."
"Oh..." Ivy squinted her eyes, intrigued. "A woman?"
Tiger arched a brow as he looked back at her. "Yes," he said. "She definitely doesn’t have a man’s genitals."
Ivy chuckled at his response while Tiger set his attention on the numbers. She studied his profile for a moment, catching the slight anticipation in his eyes.
’So, he’s dating, huh?’ she bit her lips slightly, forcing a smile to her face. ’I’m glad for him.’
For Ivy, it wasn’t surprising if Tiger was dating someone in the company. After all, the man wasn’t tied to anything. Moreover, he was quite attractive and had a very cool appeal. He might have a crass way of delivering his thoughts, but it somehow suits him.
"So, how did you meet her?" she asked out of pure curiosity. "I mean, the woman you’re visiting."
Tiger cocked his head back as his eyes slid to the corner. "Work."
"Ah, that makes sense." She nodded.
"Why are you asking?"
"Me? No — nothing. I’m just curious."
"What’s there to be curious about?" Tiger slowly set his eyes back to the numbers lighting up one after another. "It’s nothing special. It’s not like I don’t see her that often, but I just thought it’d be nice to have lunch with her."
Ivy pressed her lips and smiled subtly. "Is that so? How nice of you."
"I know I’m nice, Miss Wei."
"So, do you have other plans later?"
"Yes." Tiger blinked back at her. "I only have an hour and a half to spare for lunch and then I should go back to assist Mr. Zhu."
"Oh." Ivy furrowed her brows as she studied him again. "Where?"
"Somewhere on the outskirts."
"And you drove from there to have lunch?"
"Yep."
"Wow." Her voice came out barely above a whisper, casting her eyes down. For some reason, her heart felt a little heavy, but the other part of her heart was relieved that he found someone special in his life.
’Good for him,’ she thought, repeating that sentence in her head until she was convinced.
Just as Ivy opened her mouth to say something, the elevator door produced a noise before it parted.
"I’m here," he announced, casting her a quick look. "It’s nice seeing you, Miss Wei."
"Yes." She smiled at him and nodded. "See you around."
With that being said, Tiger walked out of the elevator, leaving her alone without looking back. Her smile remained until the door fully closed to take her to her destination. She glanced at the floor number where Tiger got off, furrowing her brows.
"Isn’t that floor for the art department?" she murmured, tilting her head to the side. "As far as I know, Heaven works on that floor. She probably knows Tiger’s lover."
[ART DEPARTMENT]
"Mhm. I’ll follow." Heaven flashed some of her colleagues a smile as they invited her to have some lunch. "Sure, thanks."
Her life in the department was slowly returning to normal. The majority in the art department believed the rumors about her weren’t true. After all, if they were true, she would’ve cleaned her desk when Axel summoned her. Others, on the other hand, chose to keep their distance from her for reasons she didn’t care.
’How nice,’she thought. ’I knew things would return to normal.’
As Heaven resumed to finish her work, the group who were leaving the art department walked past a tall man heading to their department. Although the man had unruly hair and a slightly loose tie, he still stood out because of his gait and the confident air he emitted.
Out of curiosity, those who were a few steps from the art department entrance looked back. The man, Tiger, knocked on the entrance before he smiled. His smile somehow displayed his charm, as he initially looked like someone who would punch someone in the face for no reason.
"Hey, pretty girl!"
Everyone heard Tiger’s remarks. Curious, they tiptoed their way back to the office, only to see Tiger planting his hands on Heaven’s desk.
"You know I love you, right?" Tiger mused, and everyone almost gasped. They looked at each other, wide-eyed. The first three seconds were purely curiosity about the identity of this man, but then someone in the group muttered;
"Pepsi’s husband?"
