Revenge Against My Ex-husband novel Chapter 9

Steven immediately released Irene's hand. When the two of them turned around, they realized that Jordan was already standing behind them.

Jordan was momentarily stunned when he realized that it was Steven. "Mr. Cook?" he greeted.

"Mr. Reed!" Steven greeted and smiled awkwardly.

However, Jordan added quickly with a forced smile, "Why are you holding onto my assistant's hand? Are you harassing her?"

"Assistant?" Steven repeated and stared at Jordan in surprise before he looked at his daughter and asked, "Irene, are you working for Mr. Reed?"

"Irene? Why are you addessing her so lovingly? Mr. Cook, I believe my assistant could already pass off as your daughter. Besides, she's not good-looking! It'd be a great mistake to have eyes for her. It'll be terrible to be embroiled in a nasty scandal," Jordon reminded sharply and pulled Irene over to his side as he spoke.

"Have eyes for her? Embroiled in a nasty scandal?" Steven repeated and quickly realized that Jordan had misunderstood his relationship with Irene.

However, when he saw how protective Jordan was of his daughter, instead of being angry, he burst into laughter. Jordan was handsome and graceful, the CEO of the Golden Age Group of China. Steven couldn't help but think how wonderful it would be if Irene could date Jordan.

However, now was not the right time to explain his relationship with Irene. Thus, Steven merely looked at Jordan with a profound smile before he replied, "Mr. Reed, I have something on today. I'll have to excuse myself. See you next time."

Jordan's expression gradually darkened as he watched Steven leave. He then released Irene's hand contemptuously and chided, "Are you a fool? Do you enjoy holding hands with an old man in public?"

"No!"

"No? Is that true? I mean, Irene, are you just so desperate for a man that you'd hook up with any old man?"

Jordan indeed had a vile tongue. Irene could only deny with a bitter smile, "Mr. Reed, it's not what you think."

"I hope so. As my assistant, you should pay attention to your public image and moral integrity. Otherwise, I'll fire you!"

"Got it! It won't happen again!"
