CHAPTER 865: CHAPTER 540: DON’T YOU THINK THAT’S A SLAP IN THE FACE?

Since she had already accomplished the task, there was no reason to stay sulky and act like a goody-goody.

After leaving the business department, she went directly upstairs to finance.

She didn’t go to see her mother-in-law, but went to find Florence Wilder first. Florence looked surprised to see her coming.

"Sister-in-law, how come you have the time to visit me today? I’m truly flattered."

Florence, indeed skillful with words, stepped forward to grasp her hand, as if the two of them had a great relationship.

As if anyone couldn’t be hypocritical, or what.

Ivy Miller also held her hand: "You call me sister-in-law every day; can’t I find some time to come up and see you?"

"No, that’s not what I meant," Florence’s smile didn’t reach her eyes.

Ivy was the same. These days, he who can pretend best wins.

"Sister-in-law, let’s sit for a while."

"Sure," Ivy looked around her office. Her office was indeed bright.

"I thought you would be busy recently. I’ve heard the Glory Construction case is quite tricky.

Don’t know why the business department insisted on asking for your help.

Because you’re the daughter-in-law of my aunt, my aunt can’t play favorites. Since they ask for help, she has to oblige."

Ivy nodded: "I understand. My mom is helpless too.

But you’re not wrong, this matter is indeed tricky, and I can’t get it done.

Miss Wu, I’ll be honest with you. Actually, I want to ask if my mom is around."

"She’s here, she’s been here these past few days, you want to see her, huh?"

Ivy nodded with a bitter expression: "Yeah, I need to find her and tell her that the Glory Construction issue is beyond me, that I failed her trust in me."

"Oh, sister-in-law, don’t say that. It makes me feel a bit uneasy.

Aunt didn’t insist you must succeed. We did our best, that’s enough.

Well, wait a moment, I’ll go tell Auntie. If she’s not busy, I’ll take you over."

"Alright, thank you," Ivy looked at her and smiled gratefully.

Florence waved a hand: "No need for such courtesy with me," she got up and left the office.

Ivy remained calm, she knew that Nathan Rhodes would definitely meet her, for she was waiting to see her own joke.

Sure enough, Florence returned within three minutes: "Sister-in-law, let’s go, Director Rhodes isn’t busy at the moment."

Ivy stood up and went out with her. It was her first time coming to see Nathan Rhodes, her first time entering Nathan Rhodes’ office.

Speaking of which, she and Nathan Rhodes really didn’t seem like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

She entered the office with a slight smile on her face: "Director Rhodes."

This was the company, calling her mother-in-law Director Rhodes was not inappropriate.

She didn’t want a ’This is a company, don’t call me Mom’ in response after calling her Mom.

"Florence said you wanted to discuss something with me?"

"Yes, didn’t you ask me to help the business department earlier?

I’m really sorry, I didn’t manage to complete the task.

That Director Zhou from Glory Construction is really not a good person.

Due to his despicable behavior, I completely offended him.

So... the contract with Glory Construction is ruined."

Nathan Rhodes looked at her with displeasure: "You say, didn’t you claim at the banquet that you could save the company?

Now you can’t handle such a small matter, don’t you feel like you’ve slapped yourself in the face."

Ivy laughed: "Not at all, Director Zhou said that as long as I slept with him for a couple of nights, the contract could be secured.

Should I sacrifice my body just to make some money for the company?

I’m here to work, not to sell myself."

Nathan slammed the table: "I find you really unwilling to admit defeat, I criticize you and you talk back, do you think you did the right thing?"

Ivy looked at Nathan, clearly waiting to see her joke, and now saying these words. This is her mother-in-law, if not, she would have surely cursed her.

"Aunt, don’t do this, sister-in-law feels bad for not completing the company’s task."

She just told me how guilty she felt about it.

After all, which company’s matters are a sure win every time."

Only then did Nathan find a proper way to step down: "Let’s just forget about this issue, learn from it next time, and don’t think you’re that remarkable."

"Got it, oh right Mom, I haven’t finished talking about this yet.

Since I fell out with Director Zhou from Glory Construction.

To compensate for my mistakes, I went to consult Attorney Lien for a few questions.
