Chapter 20 Mr. Ashford Wants to Visit the House
"Hmm, you're good at math," Alexander lightly pressed his thin lips together.
Ivy narrowed her eyes. Was he complimenting her? Clearly, it was an insult. Even a four-year-old child in her family knows this elementary arithmetic.
"Thanks for the praise, but my hand hurts. I'm taking a day off tomorrow!" Ivy said angrily.
"Approved!" Alexander responded decisively.
He deliberately wanted Ivy to massage his feet a few more times to hurt her hand so that he could ask for leave.
Once Ivy takes leave, he can take the opportunity to visit Ivy's house.
He must see who the other six people in Ivy's family are.
Ivy didn't expect Alexander to agree to her leave so readily, and she felt inexplicably uneasy.
This place is not suitable for staying for long!
"Can I go home now?" Ivy stretched out her swollen hands. "You see, my hands are already tired and injured. I can't mop the floor or massage anymore..."
"Go ahead." Alexander pointed to his assistant Ethan beside him. "Take her back!"
Ivy quickly waved her hand. "No, I'll go by myself."
With that, she picked up her bag and left.
No way, if Alexander's assistant sent her home, wouldn't it expose her allegiance?
"Wait, your clothes..." Emma hurried to get the clothes Alexander gave Ivy, but Ivy had already left.
Although Ivy said the clothes were for her, she didn't dare to take them without Alexander's permission.
"Deliver them to her house tomorrow!" Alexander pointed at the clothes.
"Alright." Emma felt a little disappointed.
"Tomorrow morning at eight, we'll go together." Alexander added.
"Really?" Emma could hardly believe her ears. "Are you saying that you'll go to Ivy's house with me?"
Alexander nodded. "She's injured, as a leader, we have an obligation to care for our employees."
"Mr. Ashford, you are so kind." Emma's excited voice trembled. In her mind, she was already planning what clothes to wear tomorrow, what makeup to do, and how to catch Alexander's attention.
Maria was watching TV at the bar when she saw Ivy, who was wearing a cleaning uniform, come back. She exclaimed in surprise, "You're back? Is this your work uniform? It's so ugly! And it doesn't fit properly, it could fit two of you..."
"Plus-sized and breathable, cool!" Ivy lay down on the sofa and sarcastically repeated what Alexander had said.
Maria could tell that Ivy was not in a good mood and asked with concern, "Why did you come back so early? You're not really quitting, are you?"
"No, I finished the work and the boss let me leave early. Maria, are the children asleep?" Ivy sat down.
"They just fell asleep. Be quiet and don't wake them up." Maria nodded.
"Thank you, you've worked hard!" Ivy sat up wearily.
At that moment, she received a call from Emma. "Ivy, there's something I need to tell you. Alexander is going to visit your home tomorrow at 8 a.m. I'm also coming with him. You must be prepared, okay?"
"What!" Ivy was completely taken aback and nervously jumped up.
Alexander was coming to her house!
That means the secret of her giving birth to Alexander's child will be exposed!
No, she absolutely cannot let Alexander come here.
"Emma, tell him that my house is inconvenient, ask him not to come..." Ivy said.
"Ivy, you're not joking, right? He's our boss. Whatever he decides, who dares to object?" Emma felt confused.
"Well... Then you tell him that I'm returning to my hometown tomorrow and it's not convenient for me," Ivy said.
"I'm sorry, I can't do that!" Emma hung up the phone directly.
Damn, why is there suddenly a home visit? Does he already suspect that she secretly gave birth to the Ashford family's child?
Ivy was going crazy. What should she do?
