Chapter 1538
Ida deciphered a flicker of disdain from Bryan's expression, which naturally grated on her nerves.
Meanwhile, her secretary, wracked with guilt for not intercepting the intruder, stood nervously by
the door.
Ida fixed her gaze on Bryan for a moment, then lifted her eyes and waved her hand dismissively at
her secretary, signaling for her to leave.
Relieved, the secretary quickly closed the door behind her as she left.
Bryan, thinking she was agreeing to spend more time with him, also laughed. âGreat! I'm free as a
bird, too. I can stick around.â
Ida's slender fingers tapped rhythmically on her desk. âSorry, Bryan. I'm not busy, but I have an
appointment with someone else today. I can't âcatch upâ with you. Maybe some other time?â
Her words were spoken with a lightness and a hint of amusement. It was polite, yet annoying.
Bryan's annoyance was evident on his face. âReally? Who did you make plans with?â
âThat's none of your business, Bryan. Don't be so nosy. The more you know, the less fun it is. If you
can't handle the game, don't play.â
Bryan stiffened momentarily, then let out a derisive chuckle. âI can handle it; donât worry. I was just
wondering who you're meeting. I've never tried a threesome before.â
Ida's eyebrows furrowed. She had to resist the urge to throw her now-cold cup of coffee in his face.
âBryan, you're more open-minded than I thought. But unfortunately, I'm not into group activities.â
Bryan crossed his arms and looked at her skeptically. âReally? I always thought Ms. Gipson was the
adventurous type. Seems like you do have some boundaries after all.â
