18、A step away from you

Suddenly, Ivy Aretha looked up at Anna, only to see her staring blankly at her but her gaze was actually falling... behind her.

Wait, behind?

In an instant, Ivy felt a chilling gust of wind sweep behind her, so cold it made her shiver and her skin prickle.

"Michael, so this is your status in the eyes of women, huh?"

A gentle voice chuckled.

Hearing the faintly familiar voice, Ivy unconsciously turned around...

Only to see Jaysen Smith in a white suit standing opposite her. A hint of a smile playing on his lips, next to him was Michael Gordon in a black suit, his face absolutely livid.

"Mr. Gordon, when... when did you return?"

Ivy has made her fair share of behind the back comments, but this is the first time she's been caught in the act. To say it wasn't awkward would be an understatement.

Michael Gordon stared at her slightly embarrassed face, nodded demurely and said, "If I hadn't come back, my image of a 'God' would have been completely tarnished by you!"
