Staring intently at him, Ivy murmured, "Lucas, it's me, Irene! Can't you recognize me? Is it really that hard? Even though my face has changed, my personality hasn't! Who else would be so nice to you?" Ivy sighed involuntarily. At the stime, a knock sounded from behind her.
Ivy immediately turned and was startled to see Caspian standing at the door. Quickly, Ivy walked to the door, pulled Caspian outside, and closed it behind them.
"Caspian, how did you sneak up onlike that?" "I wasn't sneaking up on you. You were just so engrossed with staring at Lucas that you didn't hear me." Caspian said with a laugh, "Ivy, is Lucas really that handsome? You are head over heels for him. I don't think he's much better than me. Why don't girls chase after me?" Ivy stared at Caspian for a moment, then teased, "Lucas is more handsthan you." "I'm taller than him!" "Are you? I feel like you two are about the sheight!" "Being taller by one centimeter still counts as being taller!" "Oh... I think his height is just right. If he were one centimeter taller, I might not like him as much." Caspian's face twisted in annoyance. "I'll tell him later when he wakes up. I'll tell him you were staring at him like a weirdo." "Sure, tell him if you want! I don't think he'll be scared. I was just staring at him; I didn't do anything to him." "Ivy, how shameless can you be?" "If I'm shameless, it's all because you threatened me." Ivy paused for a moment, then added, "By the way, I've already sent Lucas' form to the investors." "Already? What did he write? Tell me." "I was the one who filled it in because he didn't want to," Ivy said.
"I knew he wouldn't fill it out! So what did you write on it?" "I filled in random stuff!" "How could you randomly fill it out? If the investors find out that the information.in the form is incorrect they might not invest in us! If I had known you were going to fill it out randomly, I would have done jt instead!" Caspian's frustration was evident. Ivy quickly reassured him. "Caspian, don't worry! It should be fine." "Why are you so confident?" "Lucas wasn't interested in this investment in the first place! Even if the investment falls through, ourpany will still carry on, right?" "You're quite good atforting people!" Later that evening, Ivy visited the hospital to see Lucas' mother.
Lucas' mother was surprised to see Ivy alone and asked, "Why isn't Lucas with you?" "He is working late at the office. I can't be of much help, so I cover to see you." Lucas' mother looked tired but seemed to be in a good mood.
"Can you eat cake?" Ivy took out a piece of cake. "I bought this from the supermarket. It's going to be Thanksgiving soon, and in my country, we spend it with family so I will be going hfor that She accepted the cake Ivy offered and asked, "Will youe back after that?" Ivy nodded. "Of course." Lucas' mother chuckled. "Ivy, do you like my son?" Ivy did not bother to lie. "A little." "Did you tell him that? He is kind of slow and unromantic so I worry for him. I've always wondered if he'd be able to find a wife." Lucas' mother sighed and took a bite of the cake. hovels mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1
