After He Bought His Intern a $100K Bracelet Chapter 08 Exposed

With trembling fingers, he pulled up Ivy’s number, desperate to text her.

But the instant the thread opened, he saw that Ivy had messaged him the night before, a reminder that today marked their fourth anniversary.

Last night, though, he and Chloe had been shut in a room together, one thing had led to another, and they’d crossed a line they shouldn’t have.

He’d seen Ivy’s text in the heat of the moment and hadn’t given it a second thought.

After all, Ivy was head over heels for him. It was just an anniversary. Even if he blew it off, she couldn’t leave him.

So with Chloe pulling him back in, he’d shoved Ivy’s whole breakup speech clean out of his mind.

Now the memory came rushing back.

A wave of panic surged through Grayson’s chest.

The next moment, Chloe looped her arm through his.

“Grayson, Ivy is obviously just playing hard to get.

“Tomorrow at the office, have HR reach out and tell her you’ve decided not to fire her after all. She’ll come running back in a heartbeat.”

Chloe’s words talked Grayson down at once.

She was right. Ivy was crazy about him and couldn’t survive without him.

This was just Ivy throwing a little tantrum.

He tipped his head down and kissed Chloe on the mouth.

Her lips were soft under his, and a rush of excitement ran through him. He’d shaped Chloe into the perfect little thing.

She loved him without ever demanding he make it official.

Even after they’d slept together the night before, he’d woken that morning a little panicked, but Chloe had smoothed the whole thing over before he could.

“Grayson, don’t be scared. I won’t tell Ivy. I know you only love her.

“All I ask is that whenever you’re sick of Ivy, or the two of you fight, you come see me. That’s enough.

“I’d never come between you and Ivy.”

The words moved Grayson on the spot.

That was his girl, raised right and so understanding.

Not like Ivy, who did nothing but pick fights all day long. He’d barely shown Chloe a scrap of attention and Ivy had turned green with jealousy.

That night the two of them kissed all the way from the cab up to Chloe’s apartment.

But when he woke the next morning, Grayson completely lost it.

Someone had leaked a video of him and Chloe in bed to the entire company group chat.

The company’s strict no-dating policy flashed through his mind.

Cold sweat broke out across his skin.
