Chapter 31 – Leaving Him Burning in Regret Novel

Ivy couldn’t help but giggle at seeing this. She glanced at Liam, and he cast a hopeless gaze at the small tiger before nodding in accord.

Ivy gently extended her hand. The tiger sprang into her arms with grace. It was approximately the size and weight of a cat and was readily carried with both hands. It was fluffier and softer than Ivy anticipated. Additionally, the tiger brushed its head against Ivy’s chest and snuggled into her arms. It had a sluggish expression and even squinted its eyes in pleasure. It was so adorable that it warmed everyone’s hearts.

“Little Tiger, you are so adorable.” Ivy couldn’t help but speak to it.

“I fully agree.” The small tiger dropped its head to snuggle against Ivy’s palm.

A female colleague was standing next to Ivy beckons. “Is every tiger as adorable and cuddly as you are, Little Tiger?”

The small tiger frowned. “Would you kindly select animal mode? Are you sure you want to switch to the ferocious tiger mode?”

It even emphasized the term “fierce” purposefully.

The female coworker rubbed her hands together and noticed that Ivy and Liam had no objections, so she exclaimed eagerly, “Agree!”

The small tiger cocked its head and wriggled its brows. “Roar…”

When the crowd heard the tiger roar, they were taken aback.

Everybody was motionless.

The small tiger’s voice was not harsh or frightening, but absolutely adorable!

Everyone assumed it was a “tiger” roaring.

“I believe it is preferable to revert to the default mode…” Another individual made the suggestion.

Liam could not stop himself from laughing. Seeing everyone’s bafflement, Liam leaned out and patted the fat neck of the small tiger. “Put an end to your nonsense.” He then addressed everyone, saying, “Its IQ is really high, and it was simply mocking you all.”

The folks whom a tiger duped were at a loss for what to do.

Ivy’s young tiger rolled around in her arms like a spoiled child. “Everyone is fond of me.”

The crowd’s emotions shifted from shock to admiration to envy. Everyone looked at the priceless prize in Ivy’s palm, fearful that it would fall. It appeared to be asleep, though, and even snored quietly.

This tiger was simply spectacular!

Liam paved the way for the group and ushered them into the core research area.

ABC Corporation was genuinely deserving of being at the pinnacle of the domestic artificial intelligence industry. Their mission was to use artificial intelligence in a variety of sectors that would benefit and significantly improve people’s quality of life.

They touched on every facet of life, from autonomous driving to nanny bots, intelligent houses, robot physicians, and other unanticipated developments.

Ivy’s amazement grew as she continued to explore. Choosing ABC Corporation as a partner was the correct decision.

While everyone looked about, Liam escorted Ivy to the far side of the facility and into an oval office.

Inside, the people rose to their feet and exchanged greetings with a nod. Liam motioned for them to have a seat. “Proceed.”

A man entered the house through the side door. A staff member compelled him to stand in a specific position and instructed him, “Take it off…”

The gentleman was prepared and stripped his shirt without flinching. He uncovered his chest and posed as directed. Ivy was the only female present and was taken aback when she witnessed this. Her cheeks reddened, and she cast a glance toward Liam Saver.

“What on earth is this,” she asked.

“We’re gathering numerous samples of human anatomy to produce a variety of humanoid partners to suit a wide range of preferences.”

Ivy finally grasped the concept following Liam’s straightforward explanation.

What a fantastic task.

Liam’s helper entered the room urgently and whispered a few words into his ear. Liam took a severe expression and shifted his gaze to Ivy.

“Vice President Ivy, please stay and keep an eye on things here for a while longer. I’m going to have to take a few of these guys with me.”

Everyone instantly followed him out as soon as he spoke.

Ivy was left speechless and alone. “Do we have to continue?” she muttered to herself as she felt the “tiger” in her arms.

The following person entered the room, but she didn’t bother to cast a glance at the newcomer. She sat motionlessly; her gaze fixed on the LCD screen on the table. While she attempted to calm herself down, she waited for the person to rise and automatically appear on the screen.

“Begin stripping,” she commanded, and her tone was similar to that of the staff before. It was serene, typical, and flawless!

Because the individual in front of her remained immobile, she frowned and urged him. However, it didn’t move, so she needed to encourage him once again. “What is there to fear? It’ll be brief-” Ivy became enraged and raised her head. Her head buzzed at that very time.

The man in front of her had dark, deep eyes with a chilling glitter in them. It was, in fact, Wyatt Reed.

She regained her calm fast and grimaced slightly. Isn’t it slated for Reed Corporation to arrive a few days later? Why is he here at this time?

For a brief moment, the atmosphere became stagnant. They all remained silent. Liam Saver, fortunately, returned in time. “I forgot to inform you, Miss Ivy, that Mr. Reed will arrive today,” Liam said.

Liam noticed the other two people in the room and picked up on the room’s uneasy mood. “Oh, you’ve met…” he continued after a brief pause, pretending.

“I was still a step behind schedule,” Wyatt replied. He locked his gaze on Liam. “What is this business with stripping?”

Liam regained his composure and laughed. “Oh, great! Mr. Reed, you, too, have an excellent figure. Why don’t you remove your clothes and allow us to scan and examine your body? Are you interested, Miss Ivy? I’m curious as to who will get to choose a robot with Mr. Reed’s likeness,” he stated.

Ivy rose to her feet and spoke plainly. “I’m not interested.”

She was ready to leave when the “tiger” in her arms sprung from her arms and dashed to Wyatt’s feet. It brushed its head on Wyatt’s feet and tugged on his jeans with its two tiny paws, whining, “Daddy… Daddy… Carry me…”

Ivy cocked her head in surprise. Wyatt’s face was icy and morose as he reached down and gripped the neck of the “tiger.” Its four legs were flailing about in mid-air and protested as if it were excruciatingly painful.

“Do not grip my neck. It’s uncomfortable!”

Wyatt was enraged and clutched the tiger. He did not appear astonished and appeared to be well familiar with the tiger’s disposition. Wyatt raised his gaze to Ivy and desired to say something, but Ivy only gave the tiger a chilly glance and grunted before turning around and walking away without looking back.

Liam couldn’t help but smile faintly as he gazed at Wyatt’s increasingly glum expression. “She was so taken with the tiger just now that I was afraid, she’d ask for it, but once you stroked it, she didn’t even want to look at it anymore,” he said.

Wyatt cast a cold gaze at Liam. Liam then just pinched his nose and was wise enough to be silent.

Ivy exited the building and immediately received a call from Windy, inviting her to join her for lunch at a nearby mall.

Ivy was upset and needed to unwind, so she notified Greg and proceeded to see Windy.

They went to a freshly established restaurant together. Windy had reserved a table in advance, so they did not need to wait. They placed an order for a meal.

Windy looked at her phone and laughed aloud as they were almost finished eating.

“Look at this stupid Simon!” she remarked as she gave her phone to Ivy.

Ivy cast a glance at it and noticed Simon’s new post on his social media account. Simon had cut away the image of Ivy and Wyatt dancing and substituted his own face for Wyatt’s.

She shook her head when she read the caption: This is more precise! She arched her brow when she saw Duke liked it, and her eyes grew wider when Wyatt, somewhat unexpectedly, wrote a comment below.

Ivy had long since blocked Wyatt and stopped communicating with him. She was surprised to see his name in Simon’s post.

Wyatt Reed: Knock-off!

His comment didn’t do any harm, but it was highly offensive, making Simon angrily make a dozen comments undernaath denouncing Wyatt Reed, but there was no other response.
