The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 15

It was five in the morning when Ivy woke up. Today is her first day at work, after staring at herself in front of the mirror for about fifteen minutes. Ivy went down. When she was about to step her foot on the last step of the staircase, she suddenly heard a car screech. She frowned and walked towards the main door. She frowned when she saw Windy step out of her car. Ivy crossed her arms in front of her chest. “What—” “Girl! Netizens are making a feast again on the Internet. Screwing you!” Windy asserted as she went closer to her. “Screw? Why do you say so?” she asked. Windy rolled her eyes at her, making Ivy smirk. Windy unlocked her phone and tapped it a few times to show Ivy’s video. She went closer to her and tapped the play button on her phone screen. Ivy’s forehead creased when she watched the video—it was the scene inside the bar last night when she fought with that bully. When her eyes darted into the comments, she scoffed and let out a sarcastic chuckle. “Really? Of course, I beat that man, and I won’t deny it. Fierce ex-wife? Maybe,” she uttered and shrugged her shoulder. A sly smirk formed on her lips and stopped the video. “Don’t bother about this. This piece of crap will destroy my image. Let’s get to work,” Ivy said calmly. “W-What? Are you serious?” Ivy arched her brow. “Leave it alone. I’ll take care of it. Just get inside your car and let’s go to work,” she said. Windy slightly frowned. “Aren’t you gonna ride in my car—” Ivy pointed the car a few meters away from them, making Windy nod. “—Ah, I see,” she replied. Suddenly, the butler approaches Ivy. “Miss, the driver is waiting for you,” he said. Ivy smiled, and her eyes went down to the bunch of keys that the butler was holding. “No, I will

drive,” she said. The butler then nodded and did not hesitate to show the keys that lingered in a round ring. “I am expecting it, Miss Morgan,” the butler replied and smiled, “your father specially selected several of the latest styles of Maserati and Porsche, and it’s all in the garage.” “There’s no Ferrari?” Ivy asked as she crossed her arms in front of her chest. “A few styles of Lamborghini and Ferrari that were ordered from abroad have not yet arrived, Miss. It will take a few more days,” the butler replied. While hearing the conversation between Ivy and the butler about cars, Windy couldn’t help to gasp and secretly wonder. Her uncle Leo really loves Ivy to the extreme that he reserves too many luxurious cars in their garage. And she knew that the little sports car that she drove was probably not enough to buy the tires of those branded luxury cars. Ivy was very pleased about his father’s treatment. However, she can’t go to work with those cars. She sighed helplessly. “I will go to work as an ordinary person who lives an ordinary life. I can’t just expose to the public that I can afford to drive a worth of million dollars car. And,” she turned to Windy, “I’ll just go with Windy then,” she added and smiled. The butler was expecting Ivy’s sudden reaction again since Leo instructed him about his daughter. He then bowed his head, and when he looked at Windy, he said, “take good care of the young miss, Miss Adams.” Windy smiled. “You can count on me, and it is my honor to be Ivy’s driver,” she replied. Ivy shook her head and pulled Windy towards her car. As soon as Ivy and Windy arrived at the company, Cooper held a meeting to introduce a new vice president formally—this position has been vacant for a long time. And many coveted this position. And before the meeting was adjourned, someone questioned Ivy’s details and background. Except that Ivy was Wyatt Reed’s ex-wife, the rest are blank—it was carefully hidden. Anna Gomez, who has worked for the company for a long time—a woman that is qualified to be in that position, was dissatisfied with the sudden announcement. She desired the position for a long time, so why was it given to a person who could not run a business? “What is she capable of?” Anna asked, “can the former wife of one of a well-known tycoon can beNôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

qualified for this job?” she scoffed, “and I disagree with this. Anna wanted to object from the beginning, but she just waited for the time that Cooper was about to dismiss. Cooper looked down at his watch and lifted his head as he roamed his eyes around. “Those who oppose my decision, you can pass a resignation letter, and I will approve it right away,” he uttered, his voice indifferent and ruthless. After hearing Cooper’s words, people inside became stiff as silence filled in. Anna Gomez grimaced. She wanted to burst into anger. She has been in the company for so many years. The company pays her more than she deserves. The conference room was filled with silence, and everyone started to glance at each other. Ivy frowned slightly; she didn’t want to be the center of attraction, but it seemed like the odds were not with her this time. She was about to open her mouth when Anna Gomez stood up and met her gaze. “Mr. Morgan, I am sorry for my behavior. I just realized that I made a mistake, and I will respect the company’s decision, and I will cooperate with Miss Ivy’s work,” she asserted and bowed her head as she faced Cooper’s side. Cooper sighed and nodded. “All right.” He stood up and looked at them, “meeting adjourned,” he added and left the conference room. Ivy’s gaze is fixed on the woman named Anna Gomez. She saw how the woman breathed a long sigh of relief. And the people around them inside the conference room have different opinions about Ivy. However, no one dared to oppose Cooper’s decision. Ivy sighed. She will try her best to use her ability to prove herself—to prove that she could do everything for the company. One by one, people left the conference room. So, as hers and went straight to her office. Then suddenly, Cooper’s confidant, Greg, went inside her office. “Miss Morgan…” No one knew her real surname inside the company except for Cooper, Windy, and Greg, since he was appointed to be her secretary for a while, “is there anything that you need?”

Ivy smiled. “Thank you for coming. Actually, Cooper had mentioned the project of the ABC Corporation, and I want all the information about it,” she asserted. “All right. I will go and prepare it, Miss,” Greg replied. He bowed his head and exited the room. Windy smiled at Greg before she stepped inside Ivy’s office on the outside. Windy smiled at Ivy. “Dear,” she went closer to her, “my office is just next to you,” she added. Ivy smiled and nodded. “Anyway, things at first are really hard, but you will get used to it,” Windy uttered. Ivy nodded. “Also, I want to show you something,” she said as she waved his iPhone and a cord. She went to the other side and stood beside Ivy. Then she started to show it, making Ivy’s forehead crease when she saw what it was… A new wave of public opinions about her has fermented again on the Internet.
