One Night Bride: Master Blackwood's Substitute Wife-Chapter 837: Perfunctory
The next day.
Ivy Kensington arrived at Blackwood Group early as per the agreement.
This time, she had an appointment with Sebastian Blackwood. Owen Rhodes had also given a heads-up in advance. As soon as she arrived, she was quickly taken to the floor where Sebastian Blackwood’s office was located.
"Miss Kensington, Master Blackwood’s office is here. Please wait in the lounge for a while."
The receptionist smiled, although he had been internally shocked countless times already.
Every day, at least a hundred people line up to meet Sebastian Blackwood, but only Ivy Kensington enjoyed such a privilege!
No appointment necessary—she could meet Sebastian Blackwood directly.
Ivy nodded: "Thank you, sorry to trouble you."
Thinking that it was time for the morning meeting, she sat quietly in the lounge waiting.
Once he’s done with the meeting, they should be able to meet...
With a "ding," a text message suddenly came through on her phone.
——[Have you thought it over? The thing I talked to you about yesterday.]
Ivy squinted and then deleted the text without expression. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
As it was nearing noon, the agreed-upon time from yesterday had long passed, and Ivy had run out of patience.
How could a morning meeting take so long?
Could it be that jerk Sebastian Blackwood was going to stand her up again?
Thinking about this, Ivy couldn’t sit still anymore. She couldn’t help but walk out of the lounge, just in time to bump into a flustered Owen Rhodes!
"Miss Kensington?"
Owen was momentarily stunned upon seeing her, but then his mind screamed "Damn it!"
Damn, he had completely forgotten about Ivy today.
Ivy knew he worked closely with Sebastian Blackwood, so she immediately grabbed him, "Where’s Sebastian? He promised to meet today."
She waited all morning, without any news at all!
Owen spoke with difficulty, "Miss Kensington, Master Blackwood might have something going on, he can’t meet right now. Could you come back tomorrow?"
Tomorrow and tomorrow again...
Ivy had had enough of these endless rejections!
That bastard Sebastian Blackwood was just stringing her along!
At her wits’ end, Ivy resolutely pushed Owen aside and stormed off toward Sebastian Blackwood’s office.
"Bastard, you...!"
Ivy pushed the door open, only to unexpectedly see the man’s bare upper body!
Words caught in her throat, she gritted her teeth, "In broad daylight, why aren’t you wearing clothes!"
The man’s skin had a cold white hue but didn’t appear feminine. Instead, it was full of power, especially with the defined muscle lines, clear abdominal muscles, and broad, firm shoulders.
A very sexy body.
Ivy only looked for a moment before blushing, but she didn’t forget her purpose for being there. Angrily, she said, "Put on your clothes, if you lie to me today, we’re done."
Her patience had limits too!
Sebastian Blackwood was not the least bit surprised by her intrusion. He calmly reached for the shirt draped over his office chair and meticulously put it on.
"If you don’t want to see, you can close your eyes."
The man’s deep voice reached her ears, without any hint of embarrassment.
Ivy bit her lip, about to speak, when she saw Owen running up from behind, "Miss Kensington, please quickly leave..."
Owen was sweating profusely, and upon seeing Sebastian Blackwood for a second, was again shocked.
Was Master Blackwood okay now?
Sebastian Blackwood narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Get out."
Owen naturally understood that this command was directed at him, and he dared not utter another word. He just cast a worried glance at Sebastian before closing the door behind him as he left.
"Yes, Master Blackwood."
Seeing him dressed, Ivy finally looked at him, her cheeks puffed in frustration as she spoke, "You agreed on nine in the morning, and now it’s almost noon!"
This liar!
