Ivy was dragged to Shaira’s lab, making Ivy jive in awe.
“Liam indicated that anyone who can be our partner in this project must be wealthy,” Shaira smiled, “and I prefer to make friends with rich people!” she added.
“Superficial woman,” hissed the small tiger.
“Shut up, or I’ll disassemble you!” Shaira threatened the tiger.
Fear gripped the young tiger, who hid in Ivy’s arms. It was so enraged that it dared not speak again.
Ivy giggled and thought this girl was fascinating. “Our company is well-funded,” she replied.
Now, I finally understand the source of this little tiger’s rage! It’s exactly like Shaira! Ivy pondered.
Shaira’s laboratory was enormous, encircled by translucent blue walls with a steady stream of formulas. There were a variety of robot parts and precision tools on hand. It was extremely beautiful to look at. There was also a projecting LCD panel on the wall with a photo of someone that Ivy knew well.
Isn’t that… “Ryan?”
It’s Ryan… Ivy’s second brother!
A photo of Ivy’s second brother receiving a trophy in Switzerland was displayed on the TV. At the age of seventeen, Ryan got the Nobel Prize and has since risen to prominence as the world’s leading physicist. He was a genius whom countless countries yearned to hire. Ryan was clean-shaven and fresh in this photo, with a genuine, cheerful smile.
“You know him as well?” Shaira dashed over to Ivy, thrilled. Her admiration shone through her eyes. “He’s, my hero. I’m madly in love with him! If I ever get to meet him in person, I’ll be able to die without remorse!” she exclaimed.
Ivy remained mute. Her second brother was in high demand in the industry, but he had an odd temper. He disliked having girls around him so much that her father was concerned that her second brother would be alone for the rest of his life.
Shaira happily tugged Ivy’s sleeve and told her about all of Ryan’s accomplishments. “Don’t you think he’s attractive? He’s far superior to any Hollywood star out there! I’m curious what’s below those garments,” she uttered naughtily.
Ivy hesitated, pursed her lips, and murmured, “He’s fine.”
Ryan used to wander around naked at home when he was a kid. He had a terrific physique, but he was only average when compared to her older brother and third brother.
“How do you know that?” Shaira was taken aback by Ivy’s reaction. “Do you know who he is?!”
Ivy was taken aback and let out a smile. “I have his phone number,” she paused, “-would you like it?” she added with a sly grin.
Shaira was taken aback. “Are you kidding me?!?”
Ivy got out her phone and phoned Ryan on video in front of Shaira. He was in another country and appeared on the phone screen as if he had just gotten out of bed because his hair was tangled.
Shaira squealed as she covered her lips. She took a step back and whirled around in delight.
“Ivy? What’s going on? I’ve been so busy recently that I haven’t had time to contact you.”
“Nothing special, I just wanted to see you,” Ivy responded with a smile. “I have a friend who is a huge fan of your work. Would you mind giving her an autograph?”
Ryan paused for a moment before timidly nodding. “All right, just one.”
Ivy smiled as she hung up the phone and looked at Shaira’s joyful expression. She couldn’t stop laughing. “I’ll give it to you as soon as I can get my hands on it.”
Shaira struggled to keep her enthusiasm in check and reached out to grab Ivy’s hand. “OMG! Can you believe I just saw Ryan’s sleeping face?”
Ivy couldn’t say anything.
“Could you please give me his phone number? Is that all right?” Shaira pleaded with Ivy, clasping her hands together in a begging motion. “What do you want in return?” she asked, blinking her huge round eyes. Would you like this foolish tiger?” Shaira indicated the tiger in Ivy’s arms. She had a fearful expression on her face, as though Ivy might reject this trade-off!
Ivy paused and raised her head in amazement. “Are you willing to hand it over to me? Is Liam willing to go along with it?”
“Of course not! Why can’t I be?” Shaira exclaimed enthusiastically, “This tiger is mine, not Liam’s. Thus, he has no say in it.”
“Great! It’s a done deal!” This adorable tiger smote Ivy. She was too shy to ask for it the first time she saw it.
Shaira was so appreciative that she hugged and kissed Ivy on the cheek after she swiftly handed her Ryan’s phone number and social media usernames. “Ivy! You’re the greatest! I adore you so much!” she blurted in excitement.
The young tiger was displeased and shoved Shaira’s hand away from Ivy’s arm, “Don’t touch my gorgeous woman! She’s all mine!” the tiger yelled angrily.
Ivy laughed as she stroked the tiger’s head. “From now on, you’re mine as well.”
The small tiger shook its head enthusiastically. “I really like you! Bring me home!”
“Is it necessary to charge it?” Ivy had to seek advice on how to better care for this tiny tiger.
Shaira waved her hand, indicating that she was not in the mood to explain. She was staring at her phone, hoping Ryan would accept her friend request. “Simply ask. It knows what it’s doing!”
Ivy was a bit shocked by touching the young tiger’s hairy back and asking, “Really?! Are you aware of everything?”
The tiger proudly stretched its back and brushed its head on her palm. “Of course! I know and can do it all!”
Ivy got Shaira Winter’s phone number and exited the lab with the small tiger.
Liam Saver was taken aback by Ivy’s rapid appearance. She grinned as she held up the small tiger in her fingers.
“Is it okay if I take it away from Shaira?”
Liam was stunned for a time, then smiled. “Of course, it’s her personal property and has nothing to do with the corporation. You have the authority to take it away because she handed it to you.” He approached the tiger and stroked it. “Goodbye, Little Traitor, be a good boy.”
“Hmph! I’m finally heading home with the beautiful lady!”
Liam could only chuckle, unbelievably. “All right, let’s keep going.”
Ivy planned to spend time connecting with the tiny tiger when she came home, but her phone abruptly rang. It was a video call from her third brother, Sebastian.
Since entering the house, the tiger has been looking left and right like a curious newborn. It seems like it was taken aback by the exquisite decor and pricey furniture. It wagged its tail before jumping on the sofa and nestling in a comfortable posture, using a Dior scarf worth over $100,000 as a comfy pillow.
Sebastian had won six film awards since his debut and had even attempted to build a name for himself in the worldwide cinema market after conquering Hollywood. His face was absolutely exquisite, and it was unquestionably a gift from God. Countless fans would shout if he hooked his lips.
“Yow! little sister! I see you’ve gotten more attractive.” Sebastian greeted with a smile.
Ivy casually tossed her hair and replied, “Oh well, I can’t help it that I’ve always been gorgeous.”
Ivy’s brazenness made her brother giggle. “To honor your divorce, I have postponed my next shoot and will be back home by tomorrow. Don’t forget to pick me up at the airport!”
Sebastian hung up the phone before Ivy could say anything. Ivy caressed the tiger’s head. “Hey, buddy, do you have a name? Not that little traitor?”
“Hello, my name is Baby.” The tiny tiger pressed its face on her palm.
Ivy could only laugh uncontrollably. “How about I give you a name? Do Simba sounds fine?” she smiled and didn’t need the response, “from now on, your name is Simba.”
The name appealed to the small tiger, and he nodded. “I love it! My name is Simba, and I’m a large and powerful tiger! Roar!”
Simba slept much like a real tiger cub and might be lively all day after a few hours of sleep. Shaira Winter was an absolute genius!
It’s no surprise Shaira likes Ryan.
Isn’t it true that only geniuses can appreciate one another?
SIMBA CLIMBED into Ivy’s bed the next morning and woke her up. “Get up, Mama!”
It yanked Ivy’s quilt away with its little paws, causing her to feel a shiver. Simba rushed up to her and snuggled up to her. “Mama, Mama, you said you were heading to the airport!”
Airport?
