Chapter 755

She hit the intercom and summoned Cody into her office, her expression cool and distant. "Keep your eyes peeled. If a guy named Ludwik shows up looking for me, show him the door immediately." Cody nodded, his face flushed with embarrassment.

Ludwik was the heiress's ex-husband, right? The man who had the audacity to kidnap her on their wedding day. Talk about a piece of work.

He couldn't let him cause a scene at Sheldon Group.

Cody made a special trip down to the front desk to remind the security staff.

But, come lunchtime, Ludwik actually showed up.

Dressed in a sharp black suit, his presence was both chilling and sleek. He stood tall at the Sheldon Group's reception, his stunning good looks instantly captivating three of the female secretaries. Clutching a lunch freshly prepared by a Michelin-star chef in one hand and a bouquet of elegant, sweet-smelling pink roses in the other, he was a sight to behold.

As the Sheldon Group employees came and went, all eyes were drawn to this handsome man.

Whispers started to spread.

"That's the young director's ex, Ludwik Lippert, the scion of the Lippert family."

"Ludwik Lippert? Heard he's hit rock bottom. No wonder our young director dumped him."

"Still, he's way more handsome than the young director's current hubby."

"The heiress got a taste of him, not a bad deal."

Ludwik clearly heard the murmurs about him.

Though they got his financial status wrong, he was quite pleased with their acknowledgment of his looks over Bryce's.

When Cody came running down, ready for battle, he found Ludwik shamelessly blocking the company entrance, turning into a spectacle for the female staff.

His face darkened, "Security, reception, what are you doing?

Didn't the young director give clear instructions? Not even a fly should get through."

Lippert insisted on seeing the young director," the receptionist said, cheeks
