Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 415

When she emerged from the restroom, she noticed Alaric was no longer in the suite.

Brimming with curiosity, Ivy inspected the layout, looking left and right.

It really was amazing being filthy rich.

To have such an incredible resting area right at work—the room was as spacious and lavish as a five-star hotel suite.

There was even a walk-in closet, lined with immaculate suits and polished dress shoes.

No wonder he sometimes came home wearing something completely different from what he left in.

He had been changing right here.

Ivy snooped around a bit more and confirmed there was absolutely no trace of any other woman.

Thinking back to the cubicles she had passed, she hadn't spotted a single female employee there, either.

Was it true that Alaric really kept zero women around him?

Feeling a mix of intrigue and relief, Ivy walked out and found Alaric back at his grind. She stood beside him and asked with genuine concern.

"Aren't you going to take a break? Sitting too long will give you hemorrhoids."

Alaric looked up, exasperated.

"Are you bored?"

Ivy smiled awkwardly. She was, in fact, incredibly bored.

Sitting alone in the office, she had already memorized every single driving test question.

She didn't want to interrupt his work; she just genuinely wanted him to rest.

Alaric glanced at the expensive watch on his wrist.

Twelve o'clock.

Right on time for lunch.

He stood up and gestured to her. "Come on, let's go get some lunch."

"Sure!"

Ivy happily matched his pace. As they stepped out of the office, she sneaked another peek at the nearby desks. Still all men.

Sticking close to Alaric, she whispered her question.

"Why is everyone working directly under you a guy? Are there really no women at all?"

"There are."

Alaric pressed the elevator button and asked, "Do you want to eat at the company cafeteria, or go out?"

"The cafeteria! I want to see what kind of people work in these fancy skyscrapers."

"Alright."

Ivy felt a pang of admiration.

What she didn't realize was that standing next to Alaric, she was the one everyone was envious of.

Colleagues clustered together, whispering furiously over their trays.

"Who's the girl with the Boss? I've never seen him with a woman before."

"Same! And he actually brought her to the cafeteria? That is unprecedented."

"Isn't it obvious? It's got to be his niece, or maybe his younger sister."

"True, she looks way too young."

Following quietly beside Alaric, Ivy slowly realized that countless eyes were darting in her direction.

Especially after they found a table, she could faintly hear the women at the next table gossiping about them.

"She must be his niece. I heard the Boss has a niece in her early twenties."

"The Foster family genetics are insane. Even his niece is gorgeous."

Ivy heard every word perfectly.

Everyone actually thought she was his niece.

Not a single person suspected she was his girlfriend, let alone his wife.
