Chapter 20 Engagement Gift


    Jordan and Irene returned to the office after lunch. He suddenly asked Irene in a serious tone, "Have


    you picked the engagement gift I asked you to choose for Edric?"


    "No!"


    "Well, you don''t need to pick the gift now. I''ve already asked someone to buy it. You can deliver it on


    behalf of me!"


    "I''ll deliver it for you?" Irene was shocked.


    "Yes, you will do it!" Jordan said in an unquestionable manner. Irene realized that she was making a


    fuss. She was Jordan''s assistant. How could she not follow her boss''s orders?


    Edric had long been a stranger to her. It was not a big deal for her to send a gift to an ordinary


    customer.


    David handed over the gift he bought to Irene. She went to Edric''spany right away.


    The receptionist stopped her and said she had to have an appointment to meet with the president.


    Irene told her that she was Mr. Reed''s assistant and came here to send a gift on behalf of the Golden

    Age Group. The receptionist immediately called for instructions.


    A young and beautiful female secretary came down and led Irene to the president''s office. Edric was on


    the phone inside with the door open. He was obviously shocked when he saw Irene being taken in by


    the secretary.


    He hung up the phone and stared at Irene. His zing eyes almost melted Irene.


    She didn''t understand why Edric gazed at her like this. All she could feel was extreme difort and


    intense hatred. How could a five-year rtionship be forgotten so easily? She recollected herself and


    cleared her throat, and spoke respectfully, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Myers. I am the assistant of Mr. Reed


    of the Golden Age Group. Mr. Reed asked me to send you an engagement gift. Please take a look!"


    While speaking, she handed the gift David prepared over to Edric. Edric realized what was going on


    after a moment of surprise.


    She was Jordan''s assistant? It was extraordinary! Why did Jordan ask her to deliver the gift? Did he


    know about their past and deliberately ask her toe to humiliate him? Or did he have other


    reasons?


    Thinking of that, he put on a shallow smile. "I''m very grateful for Mr. Reed. Assistant Ye, please sit


    down and have some tea!"


    "There''s no need for tea. Mr. Myers, please take a look at the gift so that I can report back!"


    Even though Irene was all smiles, her eyes were ice cold.


    Edric felt a sense of sorrow when he looked at her nk eyes and remembered how she used to jump


    into his arms with a bright smile. He casually unwrapped the gift.


    A meaningful smile appeared on his face after he took a brief look at the gift. "Did you choose this gift?"


    While speaking, he picked up the gift with one finger. Irene took one nce before her face turning red.


    The gift in the box turned out to be sexy lingerie.


    "Jordan is such a b**stard. Why did he pick such a thing as an engagement gift? He even asked me to


    deliver it. He really pissed me off!"


    Seeing her blushing, Edric slowly stood up and walked to her. He looked down at her and said, "Irene,


    aren''t you thoughtful?"


    Hearing Edric''s sarcastic tone, Irene felt a little embarrassed. But she was already here and couldn''t


    run away now. She braced herself and said, "This is out of the kindness of Mr. Reed. We wish Mr.


    Myers a happy engagement and a blessed marriage!"


    "Hehe!" Edric sneered and felt a stabbing pain in his heart. He had never thought that she would give


    him blessings someday. It seemed that she really didn''t care about him anymore. That being so, he had


    no reason to hold on to her either. "Please thank Mr. Reed for me! Miss Nelson, go back and tell him


    that I like the gift he sent very much. I hope he can attend my engagement party!"


    "Okay, I''ll ry the message when I get back. The gift has been delivered. Mr. Myers, I''ll leave now!"


    Irene didn''t want to stay for one more minute.


    However, Edric did not want to let her go. He reached out his arm and stopped her. "Since you''re here


    already, please have a cup of tea before you leave!"


    "Thank you, Mr. Myers! I still have things to do!" said Irene, attempting to leave. Edric reached out his


    hand to stop her. Irene stepped back by instinct yet Edric followed her closely. He had such a powerful


    presence that Irene could hear her heart pounding in her chest.


    She stepped back instinctively yet he immediately took a step forward.


    Soon, she was backed into a corner by Edric. Leaning against the wall, her eyes and her voice were


    both full of anger. "Myers, what do you want to do?"


    "I don''t want to do anything. I just want to invite Assistant Ye for a cup of tea!"


    "I don''t want to drink your stinky tea!" Irene was exasperated. She hated him so much, yet she could


    feel herself be weaker as he was approaching her.


    "Really?" A smile appeared in Edric''s eyes when he saw Irene''s blushing face. He raised one hand and


    slowly reached out to her.


    The ice in his eyes melted and was reced by a rush of deep affection. It was the same affection that


    conquered her and made her lose herself. In the end, she lost to him in the most humiliating way.


    Thinking of the past, Irene was filled with resentment. She slowly clenched her hands into fists and was


    about to punch at Edric''s annoying face. However, the door was pushed open abruptly before she


    raised her hand. A soft voice rang out, "Edric?"
