Chapter 1186

At that moment, a female secretary gently knocked on the door

ida snapped out of her thoughts and said, “Come in

The secretary pushed the door open and handed over a neatly prepared document. “Ms. Gipson, here’s the file you asked for.”

Ida nodded. “Alright, just put it here”

After completing her task, the secretary added, “There’s one more thing. Ms. Gipson, Byran Howard is here to see you again. Should I let him in?”

Ida pinched her eyebrows at the mention of Byron’s name. “Let him in ”

If she left him waiting outside, he wouldn’t go home but instead would wander around her office door, which would be even worse if other employees saw it

“Got it!” The secretary replied and left.

Shortly after, Byran strode in and unabashedly sat in the chair in front of Ida’s desk. Ida, it’s almost lunchtime. Shall we go for lunch together?”

Ida looked at him expressionlessly. “I never said I was going to have lunch with you.”

Byran retorted “I want to have lunch with you!”

Ida coolly raised her eyebrows. “Are you ordering me?”

Byron frowned, his tone noticeably weaker. “I specifically came over during lunchtime today since I only have such a short time to see you. You really don’t want to have lunch with me?”

Ida responded. I don’t have time, eat by yourself

Byran stood up, indignantly walked over to Ida, and propped his hands on both sides of Ida’s chair, trapping her in the middle

Although he was young, he was tall and looked down at her from a considerable height it’s just lunch; it won’t take up too much of your time! Ida, don’t force me to kneel down and beg you!”

His angry but soft-spoken words caused fda, who didn’t want to deal with him, to laugh. Do you want to have lunch? Or do you want to eat me?”

Byran blushed a little as his eyes flickered with embarrassment 1 of course want both… but I also know that you ll at most have lunch with me. You won’t let me do anything else”

Ida tapped his head with the file in her hand. “Good that you know!”

Byran blinked. “So you’re agreeing to have lunch with me?”

Ida helplessly nodded. “I’m also hungry, let’s get back to work after lunch”

Byran leaned over happily and lightly kissed Ida on the cheek. I knew you wouldn’t reject me!”

Ida was stunned, then coldly pushed him away and stood up. “It’s just lunch, don’t act like a punk! Let’s go!”

Byran scratched his head and followed Ida out of her office

Ida’s office was very close to Chase’s. As they left, they saw Chase standing at the door of his office, staring at the empty secretary seat.

That seat used to belong to Belinda, but she hadn’t been to work for a long time.

Ida walked over and waved her hand in front of Chase. “What are you thinking about? Want to join us for lunch?”

Chase snapped out of his thoughts. He looked at Ida, then at Byran following her, shook his head, and laughed, “No thanks! I’ll get lunch later myself. You guys enjoy your date!”

Ida gave him a glare. “If you’re not eating, then fine! Stop talking nonsense!*

With that, she led Byran towards the elevator.

Chase took another deep look at the empty secretary seat, then turned and went back into his office.
