Robert froze when he saw the people approaching.
Ivy was shocked as well and tugged at Robert's arm underneath the table to draw his attention
Robert took a deep breath and introduced the group to Ivy hastily, "that's the vice-president, Dean. That's Dad's assistant in the
middle and the manager of the administration department on the right."
Ivy nodded. "How should | address them?"
"Uncle! Just call them uncle."
The three stopped in front of them and Dean said, "Robert, let's dine outside! I've reserved a table just now and we can head over
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthere right now." He glanced at Ivy. "Is this your classmate?"
Ivy appeared quite young, so Dean assumed that she was Robert's classmate.
Just as Robert was about to answer, Ivy took off her mask and greeted them politely. "Hello. I'm Robert's younger sister, Ivy."
The three gasped and instantly recognized Ivy as soon as she removed her mask.
"lvy, I've heard about you. It's a pleasure to see you today! It's a shthat | haven't prepared any gifts...e on, let's go
outside and eat!" Dean grabbed Ivy's hand and said enthusiastically, "we can go shopping after dinner later. | have to buy you a
gift.”
Feeling like she was being kidnapped, Ivy turned to look at Robert helplessly in hope that he could help her.
To her bewilderment, Robert was talking to Elliot's assistant and had not noticed the situation Ivy was in at all.
Naturally, Ivy knew that Dean meant well and swiftly regained herposure. "Uncle, let's just eat here! Robert said that the food
here is great... we call the way to try the food here." Ivy did not want Dean to buy anything for her, nor did she want to be
dragged to go shopping with him.
"The food here is alright, but it can't bepared with the five-stars restaurants out there. | will treat you to a feast. If you really
want to try the food here, | will get someone to pack it for take-away right now." Dean said, before shooting the administration
manager. "Pack sof the best dishes here. Ivy wants to try them."
"Right away!" The manager said.

"..." Ivy was finally at her wits end and shouted at Robert. "Robert!"
Robert immediately hurried over and she grabbed onto his arm, sighing a breath of relief.
Sensing that Ivy was panicking, Robert said to Dean, "we won't dine out. | brought Ivy here to try the food here. She still has a lot
of homework to do, so we can't stay out for too long."
"I see!" Dean said. "I can't take too much of your tif lvy needs to work on her homework. Are you two really just here to try the
food, though? | can just have someone pack them to go for you."
"We cto try the food here, and also to show Ivy around Dad'spany..." Robert said.
"As | expected! Our canteen isn't that bad, but it's definitely not worth the trip. Let's eat in the canteen. | will take you on a tour
around thepany after dinner. Don't worry. It won't take long," Dean said, before sitting them down. "Letexplain our
development plan for thising year..."
