07、God Michael Gordon

Michael Gordon's gaze fell on her long hair, which had never been dyed and was naturally black. Her hair quality was excellent, even better than the images of spokesperson models for shampoo ads that had gone through special effects processing.

The faint scent of her hair filled the small space, making Michael momentarily captivated. It was familiar, yet he couldn't recall where he had smelled it before. He quickly snapped out of it and took a few steps forward.

Ivy instinctively backed away until she was pressed against the cold wall. Michael placed both hands on the elevator walls, enclosing her between himself and the elevator wall, then looked down at her with deep, peach blossom eyes that glinted with a hint of green.

Michael's gaze was too intense. Ivy's mind flashed back to that night six years ago; the same eyes staring at her aggressively. While men might forget such incidents quickly, women never could. Just looking at him made Ivy lose all her courage.

"What's the matter? Scared now? Your sharp tongue-" Before he could finish the word 'teeth,' a 'ding' sound signaled the elevator door opening.

Hearing the sound, Ivy felt as though the horns of liberation were blaring. She swiftly ducked under his arm and escaped the elevator in one smooth motion.

Watching her flee in haste, the perfect curve of Michael's mouth deepened even more. Since she had delivered herself to his doorstep, he couldn't be blamed for taking advantage.

Michael pushed open his office door to find Assistant Adam already waiting for him.

"Mr. Gordon, I found the person you asked me to look for!"

Michael loosened his tie and sat down in his office chair, eager to hear this piece of news.

"Ivy Aretha, 25 years old, a top student from the Law Department of Columbia University. She just returned from America with two years of experience as a legal consultant for a media group abroad. Her work ability is quite outstanding..."

"Adam, are you reading me her resume?" Michael interrupted Adam impatiently, "Forget it. She's already here. There's no need to look into her anymore. You may leave."

Since she had willingly stepped into his company, he would play along. This damned woman dared to be disrespectful to him, and he was determined to make her suffer.

Adam nodded and left. Michael dialed the intercom directly: "Move the Human Resources Legal Department to the 88th floor CEO office!"

Michael's command was clear and concise, and he hung up immediately.

When the Legal Department received this notification, their entire office was shocked. To them, it was terrific news, which meant they could see the handsome face of their Boss every day from now on.

Upon starting her new job, Ivy witnessed the impressive efficiency of Allure International's employees. In less than an hour, the Legal Department had moved to the 88th floor.

"Hello, my name is Sophia Young. We'll be colleagues from now on. Welcome to Allure International's Legal Department!"

Sophia was the most enthusiastic member of the Legal Department, with a lively and cheerful personality.

"My name is Ivy Aretha. Today is my first day at work. We'll be colleagues from now on, so please take care of me!"

Sophia took the initiative to introduce herself, and Ivy followed suit, getting acquainted with the colleagues in her department. The Legal Department had a small team compared to the thousands of employees in the multinational entertainment media company.

There weren't many team members, but each of them were elite soldiers and strong generals, capable and experienced in battle. Along with Ivy, there were twenty-eight members in total, all top students from prestigious universities' Law Departments, boasting rich experience and outstanding work abilities.

"Don't worry, we'll definitely watch over you! Now that we have a beauty in our Legal Department, you'll have to win honor for us!"

Sophia was very friendly and quickly became familiar with Ivy, who sat beside her. With just the time spent organizing their desks, they had become friends.

It was no secret that Allure International, a top entertainment media company, was home to many handsome men and beautiful women, not to mention that their Boss was incredibly handsome himself.

The only exception was the Legal Department, which was known as a gathering place for unattractive women.

Now that a stunning beauty like Ivy had joined the team, everyone was naturally overjoyed. At least the Legal Department now had someone presentable.

"This is what you call a beauty? Your Legal Department has never seen a real beauty before!"

While Ivy and Sophia were chatting happily, a familiar and lazy voice came from nearby, filled with slight contempt.

Looking up, Ivy saw Michael Gordon's detestable yet charming face that could captivate countless young women.

Michael leaned against the doorframe of the Legal Department, holding a cup of coffee while looking at Ivy with an amused and flirtatious expression. Despite his mocking words, he seemed to be enjoying himself.

Before everyone else in the room could recover from the surprise and fright, Michael's lazy voice spread throughout the Legal Department's new office.

"This, with no butt and no breasts, no cleavage, and an unattractive figure, can be called a beauty?"

No butt and no breasts?

Ivy was almost choked by her own saliva in anger. She couldn't believe someone would say she had no butt or breasts. Among the entire department, she definitely had the most attractive figure, with a perfect international golden ratio.

Alright, very well. Clearly, this man was just picking a fight.

Stay calm, Ivy reminded herself repeatedly to stay calm. Today was the first day of her hard-earned job, and she had to endure until she could prove her exceptional work abilities to her new colleagues.

So, Ivy gave Michael a warm smile and spoke calmly, her heart gritting her teeth to the extreme.

"Mr. Gordon is right. Those without butts or breasts aren't beauties. Please, Mr. Gordon, enjoy looking at women with voluptuous butts and breasts elsewhere!"

While Ivy was organizing her belongings, she glanced at him and couldn't help but add, "Those who are ugly have no right to flirt. We must work hard, so please don't disturb our work, Mr. Gordon. Go where you can find more beauties!"

In other words, he was attractive enough to be flirtatious.

At her words, everyone in the Legal Department stared wide-eyed at Ivy, shocked that she had the guts to speak to the CEO in such a tone. They wondered if she had a death wish.

Sophia, who was closest to her, quickly whispered to her in a low voice: "Ivy, don't ever offend Mr. Gordon, or you'll suffer terribly!"

Those who offended Michael Gordon truly suffered. They would become the public enemy of the company's female employees. The charm of a handsome man was immense, especially when the handsome man was also the company's Boss.
