Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: New Roles and Unwanted Attention

As Ivy settled into her role at GV company, her life took an unexpected twist. CEO GoldV became a constant presence by her side, whether it was during meetings, conferences, or even trips. Their companionship drew attention, especially from the women who had been infatuated with him before. Ivy's proximity to GoldV sparked jealousy and resentment among these admirers, their gazes laden with hostility whenever they spotted her.

Two months had passed since Ivy had become GoldV's personal assistant, and the dynamics of their relationship were evolving. On a particular day, Ivy received an assignment that stood out from the rest – she was to accompany GoldV to a dinner meeting as his secretary. Dressed in a modest yet elegant maroon dinner gown, paired with silver heels, Ivy exuded a quiet confidence.

Arriving at the dinner meeting venue alongside GoldV, Ivy's presence turned heads. Her fair skin, auburn hair, and hazel eyes caught the attention of many, particularly the males in the room. Her understated elegance and poise radiated amidst the crowd, leaving a lasting impression.

As the evening progressed, Ivy navigated the event with grace, ensuring that all arrangements and details were managed seamlessly. Her professionalism and dedication shone through, enhancing the aura of competence that surrounded her. Yet, even in her role as a secretary, Ivy's striking appearance didn't go unnoticed. Whispers circulated the room as her image became a topic of conversation among the attendees.

Among those who noticed Ivy was someone who mattered the most – GoldV himself. He observed her from across the room, his gaze tracing her movements. An unspoken acknowledgment passed between them, a silent reminder of the bond they shared amidst the crowd.

While Ivy carried out her duties diligently, the attention she received ignited a mixture of emotions within her. She was both pleased by the acknowledgement of her efforts and uncomfortable with the scrutiny. The glances and whispers that followed her every step served as a reminder of the complex world she had unwittingly stepped into.

As Ivy continued to navigate this new path, her journey was far from over. The collision of identities, desires, and perceptions would continue to shape her interactions with GoldV and others around her. And as the days turned into nights, their connection would deepen, revealing hidden layers of vulnerability and strength that both Ivy and GoldV had yet to explore.
