Love Is Fair
Chapter 037 Canât Handle a Man Molly looked even more dazzling than a celebrity on TV. How was this a press conference? It was clear she held it to show ofl. Eileen was angry and hateful. At the same time, she was anxious! Ivan had been treating her colder ever since Molly came back âMom, look at how proud Molly is looking!â âHurry up and think of a way!
We canât let her be so arrogant and complacent!â Lena inhaled and exhaled deeply, lutfing and puffing as she cursed, âWe have to take it slow. Let her have her way for these two days. Weâll make her suffer after that!â âBy the way, have you contacted Mr. White the last two days?â When Eileen heard this, her eyes dimmed. Ivan hadnât called her for two days. âAlas.â âWhy are you sighing? You have to strike while the iron is hot to avoid future worries. You canât delay whatever you have with Mr. White any longer! If this continues, who knows what will happen!â âWhat am I supposed to do? I canât beg him to marry me, can 1?â Eileen said helplessly. When Lena heard this, she hit her daughterâs head in disappointment. âYouâre so dumb!â âWhy do I have such a stupid daughter like you when I am so smart? If you have half of my abilities, it wonât take you so long to handle a man!â âWhy donât you speak to him then? Isnât it better than blaming me?â After saying that, Eileen stormed upstairs. âLook at you. All you do is get mad at me!â Lena rolled her eyes. âWhatever. Iâll go and see him. What a useless daughter. Why do I have to take care of such a small thing for you!â Since Tyler was relieved of his position of chairman, the Hills seemed to have fallen out of the upper-class circle of Oscos overnight. Lena and Eileen would soon be excluded from gatherings and ignored by socialites if Ivan and Eileenâs marriage was delayed again. If they wanted to maintain their status as an upper-class family, the Hills had to speed up the political marriage with the Whites as soon as possible! As long as Eileen became a part of the White, the socialites would be green with envy. Lena carefully dressed up and decided to look for Ivan in person, She had already decided to go all out to make Ivan her son-in-law!
An hour later, Lena appeared on the ground floor of Cavebeat. Looking at the tall building made Lenaâs heart pound. It was the tallest and most luxurious commercial building in Oscos and Ivanâs workplace.
She couldnât help but feel excited at the thought that her daughter would be the bossâs wife of this building in the future. âHumph. When my daughter marries the Whites, all the socialites will be licking my feet.â Confidently, Lena adjusted her bag, put on her sunglasses, and walked into Cavebeatâs building. She wore a bodycon red dress and a vintage hat. Although she was in her forties, she looked like she was in her thirties as she took good care of her appearance. Looking at the gorgeous and showy woman in front of her, the people who came and went were shocked. She was like a Beautiful butterfly that appeared in a black and white world. âPardon, Madam. You are not allowed to enter unless you are an employee of the company.â The security guard came over and stopped her. Lena held her head high and looked at the security guard with her hands on her waist. âIsnât Mr. White working here? I am here to see him.â The security guard was stunned by Lenaâs imposing manner.
ooking at her dressing, he got more afraid to offend her. âMadam, please wait a moment.â After that, he reported it to the head of security with his pager. âThereâs a woman in the lobby who wants to see Mr. White.â
Through the surveillance monitors, the head of security became careful when he saw Lena. He reported it to Ivanâs assistant, Lily Will. After receiving the news, Lily arrived downstairs to receive Lena, Downstairs.
âDo you know who I am? Do you recognize me?â Lena was arguing with the lobby manager. âMadam, I am sorry, but we canât allow strangers without appointinents to enter the company. Please wait downstairs.â âI told you. I was on the phone with Mr. White a while ago. How can you not know who I am? I am Mr. Whiteâs future mother-in-law. How dare you call me an outsider! Believe it or not, I will make you lose your job tomorrow.â The lobby manager said, âI trust you, Madam, but please calm down. Mr. Whiteâs assistant is on the way to receive you.â It just so liappened that Lily arrived and greeted her, âHello, Ms. Brown. Please come with me.â âYou are Mr. Whiteâs assistant? A woman?â
Lena glanced at Lily and said bitterly. Lily shrugged and did not answer her question. âMs. Brown, please come this way. Have you made an appointment with Mr. White?â âDo I need to make an appointment to see my son-in-law?â âMr. White is busy, so he will only see guests if they have an appointment. Why donât you wait a moment? I will report it to Andy.â âOkay. Be quick.â Lily swiped the elevator access card and brought Lena to the 32nd floor.
In the office. Ivan was working when Andy knocked on the door and came in. âMr. White, Ms. Brown is here.â âWhich Ms. Brown?â Ivan was confused. âMs. Hillâs mother.â âWhy is she here?â Ivan frowned. âI donât know, but she is asking to see you and claims to be your mother-in-law. The lobby manager couldnât stop her and reported it to me.â Ivan frowned and hesitated for a few seconds. He did not want to see Lena, but Lena was his girlfriendâs mother. Perhaps there was something urgent. âLet her in.â
âOkay.â
âMs. Brown, this way. Mr. White has agreed to see you.â âSee. I told you so. Why do I need to make an appointment to see my son-in-law?â Lena said proudly and entered Ivanâs office. âWow!â
It was Lenaâs first time here. She had never thought that Ivanâs office would be more luxurious and grand than she had imagined. Ivanâs office occupied an entire floor. Not only was there a gym, but there was also a small-scale golf course. âTsk, tsk.â As Lena walked, she could not help but be amazed. Oscus was an expensive city, but Ivanâs office occupied such a huge area. It was too extravagant. âSuch a big office. What a waste.â Andy smiled and ignored Lena.
. de + 20 Five minutes later, Andy brought Lena to Ivanâs work area. âHello, Mr. White⦠No, Ivan.â
âLena, why are you here?â Ivan stood up and greeted her. Lena came forward, smiling, âI was out shopping with a few friends and happened to pass by, so I came up to see you.â âHave a seat.â Ivanâs frown deepened. âMs. Brown, would you like coffee or tea?â âCoffee is good.â
