Chapter 1124
Chase waved dismissively, âI'm done with her! Mr. Howard, only you would fancy such a sly and
workaholic woman!â
Byran kept a poker face, not too pleased with Chase's description of his woman.
Ida took off her glasses, massaged her temples, and said, âIf you've got nothing else, buzz off. I'll
catch up with you later.â
Chase shrugged and chuckled, âAlright then! I won't disturb you two lovebirds. I'll go make a call to
the boss!â
Ida warned, âDon't blabber unnecessary stuff at her!â
Chase flashed an OK sign, realizing Ida didn't want him to spill the beans about her and Mr. Howard
to the boss.
That Mr. Howard was the half-brother of the boss. Was Ida involved with him because she feared
the boss's wrath?
Once Chase had left, Ida put her glasses back on, giving Byran a chilly glance, âHave you had your
fun? If you're done, you can go home and do your homework!"
Byran retorted confidently, âI've already finished my homework!â
Ida responded with slight annoyance, âThen go do what you need to do. Don't disturb me at work!â
Feeling slighted, Byran wasn't too pleased, but he clearly tempered his temper when dealing with
Ida. âOkay, I won't disturb you. But promise me you won't get too close to Chase; I don't think he's
good news!â
Ida sat down at her desk, casting a playful glance at him, âWhy should I agree to your terms? You
really think we have something going on?â
Byran frowned, then blushed, âYou still doubt our relationship? Don't worry, I'll take responsibility!â
Ida was amused by his naivety, âDear sir, who said I need you to take responsibility? Just because
something happened doesnât mean you have to be responsible for it. Don't tell me you can't handle
that?â
Byran's face turned red, a mix of embarrassment and anger, âAnyway, if you donât let me take
responsibility, then you'll have to be responsible for me! I...it was my first time!â
Hearing him mention âthe first time,â Ida felt a headache coming on. She should've known better
than to mess with a simpleton like him!
The day Chase left; she was forced by this man to answer some questions in the hotel. She teased
him, hoping to scare him off.
But who knew that man had such a strong ego? He actually stripped his clothes off! She played
along, teasing him a few more times and pushing him onto the bed!
For a taste of thrill, the man turned the tables, pinning her underneath him.
Ever since then, he's been sticking to her like glue! She couldn't shake him off!
Just then, he came to the office spouting nonsense, pinning her against the glass, and biting her. He
was like a little wolf with sharp teeth, almost puncturing her artery.
If it wasn't for Chase walking in on time, she would've been devoured by that little wolf again!
Byran didn't think too much; he just knew that once he made up his mind about something or
someone, he wouldn't change it!
âHey! I'm hungry. When can you take a break? Can we go out for lunch together?â
Ida, engrossed in a document, responded casually, âI usually have lunch in the office.â
Byran looked unhappy, âWhat should I do then?â
Ida still seemed unbothered, âIf you're hungry, go find something to eat yourself. Eat whatever you
want. No oneâs stopping you.â
Byran's eyes widened, his face taut with dissatisfaction.
