    The receptionist, seeing themotion, quickly stepped in, “Madam, you can’t just barge in here.”

    Tessa, red–faced with anger, pushed past the receptionist, attempting to storm through the turnstile, but


    it wouldn’t budge.


    The receptionist, unable to stop her, called out loudly for security.


    Two guards approached one on either side and hoisted Tessa up, ready to escort her out of the


    building.


    Struggling in vain, Tessa saw she was about to be thrown out and shouted, “I’m Ivy’s mother. My


    daughter Ivy has connections with your CEO. If you toss me out like this, the CEO won’t let you off the


    hook.”

    As fate would have it, Nn was just returning to the office.


    He had nned to ignore the ruckus in the lobby, but when he heard the woman im to be Ivy’s


    mother, Nn couldn’t help but stop.


    “Let her go,” Nn approached with a hint of a smile, “Madam, did you just say you’re Ivy’s mother?”


    Tessa rubbed her sore arm and sized up the man before her, “Yes, I’m Ivy’s mother. And who might you


    be?”


    “I’m the CEO of Harris Group, the very person you’re looking for.”


    Hearing that the man before her was the CEO of Harris Group, Tessa’s face performed an


    extraordinary volte–face, stering on a smile, “Mr. Harris, it’s you. I’m Ivy’s mother, and I came to


    inquire about Ivy’s well–being.”


    Though Nn wasn’t quite sure why Tessa came to him about Ivy, he courteously led her to his office


    out of respect for her being Ivy’s mother.


    “Please, take a seat,” he offered, pouring her a ss of water, “What would you like to know about


    Ivy?”


    Tessa nced around the opulent office, her aspiration clear in her eyes.


    Most importantly, being treated so cordially by the CEO of such argepany made her feel like she


    was on top of the world.


    This was the first time in her life she’d been treated this way, and it felt incredible.


    “I’ve been calling her, and she won’t answer. Knowing she knew you, I had no choice but toe


    here,” Tessa said, a tinge of resentment coloring her words about Ivy, “She really knows how to worry a


    person.”


    In her tone, Nn sensed Tessa’s dissatisfaction with Ivy.


    He wasn’t privy to the details of Ivy’s family life, but it seemed there was more to the story.


    “Ivy’s been quite busytely, and she might have missed your calls. How about I call her over?”


    Tessa, realizing Nn held special regard for Ivy, smiled and nodded in agreement.


    Nn dialed Ivy then and there, and the phone connected quickly, “Hello, Ivy, are you free right now?”


    “Nn, what’s up?” Ivy was busy at herputer, applying for jobs.


    Nn nced at Tessa, who was sitting across from him, “Your mother’s at my office. She said she’s


    been trying to reach you and couldn’t.”


    “What?” Upon hearing that Tessa had gone to the Harris Group, Ivy dropped what she was doing,


    shocked, “She went to your ce?”
