A trace of disdain and indifference flashed in Eric's eyes. Ivy did not miss the trace of emotion in his face and instantly felt like her heart was stabbed.
She felt a painful convulsion.
Eric raised his head and looked at her.
"The reason why you were dismissed from Stanton Corporation should be clear. Ferguson Corporation won't accept an employee who can't even pass the internship period. Also, with all due respect, don’t compare yourself to Nicole. You're from completely different worlds."
The difference was as stark as heaven and earth.
What was there to compare?
His words were too straightforward, not caring whether Ivy's self-esteem would be hurt or not. Her face swiftly paled.
Even Mitchell felt some pity for her.
Unexpectedly, not only did Ivy not leave, but she also stood there and looked pitifully at Eric, her fists clenched tightly.
"But Old Master Ferguson said that Ms. Stanton is too strong-minded. You sent your sister and mother away because of her. She'll only cause trouble for the
Ferguson family if she's with you. You... Do you really
not consider the consequences at all?"
Mitchell stood to the side, trembling. Cold sweat dripped down his face.
Eric's good mood was completely destroyed by Ivy. Even Mitchell was overwhelmed by the heavy gloom i n Eric's eyes.
Ivy acted on her own initiative and gave him an analysis of the stakes. She did not believe that a businessman like Eric who looked at benefits would remain unshaken.
Old Master Ferguson hinted that she should show up more often in front of Eric to cultivate their feelings. That meant that she was more suitable for the position of Eric’s wife than Nicole.
The atmosphere in the office was quiet for a few seconds as a chill rose.
Eric's eyes measured her morosely. He raised his hand to touch his brow ridge, the action slightly wicked and bewitching.
Suddenly, Ivy became a little uneasy.
He gave a light snort, his eyes full of coldness. "Ms. Harrison, are you meddling in the Ferguson family's business because the Harrison family has too few things to do?"
Ivy’s eyes trembled slightly. She looked up in a panic and was just about to explain herself, but Eric did not give her the chance.
His next words sent her straight into hell.
