Chapter 1134
The receptionist suddenly felt like she was witnessing a real–life high–society marriage play out in front of her.
“Mrs. Lowe, I’m so sorry. I’ve never met you before.”

“It’s alright,” Ivy said. “Can I go up and see Mr. Lowe now?”
“Of course. I can take you.”
Ivy shook her head politely. “No need. Go ahead and work. I’ll find him myself.”
With that, Ivy lifted the thermal container and stepped into the elevator. She soon reached the 16th floor, where the executive offices were located. Nathan’s office was there as well.
Walking across the carpet, she reached the double doors to the CEO’s office.
She straightened her outfit, put on her sweetest smile, and pushed the door open, chirping, ” Honey, look what I brought you! A special homemade lunch.”
She even used a soft, cute voice on purpose. She knew men loved that.
But the next second, she froze completely.
She had imagined all kinds of reactions from Nathan. What she didn’t imagine was that his office would be full of people.
Nathan was seated at the head of the table while several senior executives, their blue ID cards hanging from their necks, were presenting reports.
Her sudden entrance cut through the whole meeting. In an instant, every pair of eyes turned straight toward her.
Ivy stood there, speechless.
Nathan lifted his eyes and looked at her, too.
She stayed planted by the door, the thermal flask dangling in her hand and her polite smile frozen on her face. If a hole opened up in the floor right now, she would dive into it without hesitation.
A huge public embarrassment.
It was mortifying.
Martin, standing beside Nathan, spoke up immediately. “Mrs. Lowe, what brings you here?”
The other executives, seeing her for the first time, all bowed slightly. “Hello, Mrs. Lowe.”
Ivy forced herself to walk inside. Thankfully, she attended enough high–profile events to know how to recover. She kept her expression calm and friendly. “Hello, everyone. I just came

to check on Mr. Lowe. You all keep working. I won’t interrupt.”
She placed the thermal flask on Nathan’s desk and said to him quietly, “I’m heading out?
She turned to leave, but Nathan spoke first. “That’s enough for today. Meeting’s over Everyone can go.”
The executives immediately packed up. Within seconds, the entire Lowe Group knew the news the CEO’s wife showed up to bring the CEO a homemade lunch.
Martin said to the couple, “I’ll step out.”
He left and thoughtfully closed the door behind him.
Now, only the two of them were in the office.
Nathan looked at Ivy. Her face was bright red, and the blush had even crept up to her delicate
ears.
She looked adorable.
Nathan’s lips curved into a smile. “How are you so free today? You actually came all the way here to bring me lunch?”
Ivy forced a smile. “You said I didn’t pay enough attention to you during the day, so I cleared my entire schedule just to bring you lunch. I had Wanda make you chicken soup. Drink it while it’s hot.”
Ivy opened the container and reached for a bowl.
But she was wearing heels today, and her ankle suddenly twisted. She stumbled forward, straight into Nathan.
He caught her by the waist, and she ended up sitting right on his lap.
Their eyes met.
Ivy wanted to disappear. Why was today filled with disasters?
Nathan held her and let out a low laugh. “Did you do that on purpose?”
