It was a woman in a blue dress with a perfect body and a curly chestnut hair which was down to her shoulders. Her legs were long and flawless. She was wearing white glass high heels which gave her a noble and extremely beautiful look.
"Sorry, do I know you?" Ivy was stunned that the woman approached her so she asked. She stared at the woman in front of her intently. She thought she was not an ordinary woman. She had a beautiful face, perfectly shaped eyebrows, and not so long but beautiful eyelashes. She looked charming even with just a light makeup.
"My name is Anna Dou," The woman introduced herself. Then she raised her glass to take a sip of wine.
"Hello, nice to meet you," Ivy replied with a smile the moment Anna put down her glass.
However, Anna Dou said impolitely, "Is it nice? I don't see how nice it will go."
Ivy felt awkward for a few seconds because it was her first time to meet someone who greeted her first then embarrassed her the next minute.
When Anna noticed that Ivy fell silent, she continued, "It's understandable that you've never heard of me. I have been living abroad for quite a while and I just came back yesterday so I'm pretty sure that we're completely strangers to each other."
Ivy tried her best to remain polite in front of this woman. When she finished talking, Ivy asked, "How did you know my name, then?"
"I'm the heiress of the BD Investment Group," Anna Dou replied slowly. In her eyes, Ivy was just a cheap assistant, who deserved only to crawl under her feet. She should have been flattered that Anna had noticed her.
Ivy fell silent, for she knew clearly how powerful and influential the BD Investment Group was in the world.
"But I know you well. You are here as an assistant to Mr. Lawrence Chu, the heir of the JC Group. Am I right?" Anna asked again in an elegant manner when Ivy still didn't say anything. She pretended to think for a while then she continued, "But, as far as I can remember, no assistant was invited to this party."
Ivy suddenly felt nervous. She knew Anna was a tough person so she quickly explained, "No. I didn't come here as an assistant of the JC Group. I came here as Lawrence's date."
Ivy thought that if she used the excuse of being Lawrence's date, Anna would be surprised or even get nervous. However, to her dismay, Anna's reaction was different.
