Ivy could not stop her brother from doing anything nor could she reveal the truth to Lucas, so all she could do was think of a solution as the situation unfolded.


    The next day, Archer and Ivy arrived at thepany together.


    Archer was terribly bored, so he had had a talk with Ivyst night and asked her to bring him with her to work at Night Technologies.


    When Caspian saw Archer, his eyebrows rose.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    Ivy introduced them and said, "Caspian, this is my cousin. Hees from a wealthy family, and he''s here in Taronia to experience ordinary life with me. Can you let him stay at thepany? If there''s anything he can do, you can assign him tasks, and he doesn''t need to be paid a sry."


    Caspian paused for a moment.


    Archer smiled at him. "Hey, Caspian. You can take this casually. I can do any physical work, but I''m not so good at brainy stuff."


    Caspian realized that Ivy''s wealthy cousin was physically fit but not intellectually inclined; he seemed like the type to bully others rather than being bullied himself.


    "We don''t have much physically demanding work here, though," Caspian said.


    "I can do simple tasks, too. For example, I can handle the front desk," Archer suggested.


    "So he is trying to rece me?" Caspian thought and said, "All right then. You can handle the reception. If you do well, I''ll pay you but don''t expect too much."


    "That''s fine," Archer replied before casually sitting down at the reception desk.


    Elliot paid Acher exceptionally well. He had followed Ivy to Night Technologies to protect her, despite iming that he was bored.


    Caspian spoke to Ivy: "By the way, the investors will be here today. I''m going out to greet them."


    "Are the investors guys or women? How many of them areing?" Ivy asked eagerly.


    "If you''re so curious, you can eavesdrop on Lucas''s officeter," Caspian teased.


    "Do you really think that I can sneak into his office to eavesdrop?" Ivy asked.


    "He wasn''t particrly concerned about this meeting anyway. He doesn''t like being controlled," Caspian exined.


    "Oh!" Ivy made up her mind to sneak


    into


    invests''s officeter when the


    investors arrived and wondered if the people her brother sent would recognize her.


    After Caspian left, Lucas finally arrived at thepany.


    He passed by the front desk then turned


    Sick to nce at the persoft


    sitting there. "Aren''t you


    "he asked. Co


    Archer forced a smile. "Go ahead with your work! Just ignore me!" Confused, Lucas entered his office to find Ivy watering the nts. "Why is your cousin here?" Lucas sat down and asked.


    She set the watering can down and walked over to him, exining with a smile, "My cousin was bored, so he decided toe to work with me You don''t have to pay him, though. There''s nothing much he can do so we just ced him at the reception. That way, bad people won''t daree in."


    "Are you sure he''s your cousin? I feel like he''s more like your bodyguard," Lucasmented.


    Ivy fell silent and thought to herself, "Is it that obvious? Is it because Archer is tall and muscr?"


    She changed the subject and said, "Caspian went to bring the investors in. Are you nervous?" "What''s there to be nervous about?" Lucas shot her a look. "Are you nervous?"
