“I am at the restaurant.” She said as she got closer to the restaurant, but stayed outside.
“Do not lie to me, Ivy!” Bethany shouted in anger, over the phone.
Ivy was taken aback and didn’t know what else to say. She didn’t know how much Bethany knew, and was scared to prolong the lie, but she felt she had to take a chance, and know the outcome.
“But I am the restaurant.” She said, trying to avoid her voice, shaking in fear.
“What kind of chef, answer calls in the kitchen, Ivy? Or do you think I don’t know that you have been on a call before mine, and come to think of it, the call lasted for a long while. You are not that type of chef to answer calls, and keep them for long in the kitchen, when you ought to be cooking, and making sure that the breakfast is okay. So, tell me. Where are you?” Bethany asked again.
“I’m sorry. But the truth is I am
"Oh! Sorry about this. Wanted to use it cut my apples, when they are here." Bethany said, then she stood up to take an apple."It's fine." Ivy muttered under her breath.She was scared at the sight of the knife, and thought Bethany could do something crazy. The tensed feeling she was having, was making her scared of going deeper with Alexander. It was a pain that she already loved him, she didn't want to add anothber from Bethany who could make her life, miserable.Bethany came back to the sitting room, and had her seat, with an eerie smile on her face. "As I was saying, I want you to stay far from him, out of his sight. I really do not like you around him. Not just you, but I don't want anyone else around him. I hope you understand what I mean." She said as she sliced her apple."Yes.""Now that I'm back, you won't have any cause to come over to the main restaurant." Ivy nodded, nervously, and could hardly gulp down her saliva. "You can leave."Ivy tried her best not to make it ob
“Why the hell is Ivy calling you at this time, Alexander!” Bethany shouted.“Calm down, Bethany. It must be a mistake, okay?” Alexander said, then dropped his phone. “Let’s ignore that, and continue with our business.” Alexander said as he resumed kissing her.Although, Bethany had lost interest in having sex with him, seeing that Ivy had called Alexander at this time. She wondered why Ivy called him after she warned her to stay away from Alexander. But she had no choice than to continue with the mood, since Alexander was being adamant.Suddenly, another call from Ivy came, and she snatched the phone, but before she could answer the call, in anger, Alexander collected it from her.“Now, is that a mistake again? And why did you seize the phone from me? Can’t I speak to her to know what she wants with you?”“Like I said, you need to be calm, Bethany. Do not take things as they are. You are misunderstanding this.”“What’s there not to misunderstand, uhn! Calling you late at night. You ar
Ivy's hand became sweaty, and she felt she was doomed. Bethany entering her home, was going to be a disaster she was not certain she would recover from. Then she got another text from Bethany, which relieved her tensed bones. "Never mind. Something came up, so I will see you, tomorrow."Although, she wondered why Bethany would want to see her that made her come over to her house. And she hoped it wasn't going to be something really scary. Then she looked at Alexander, and heaved an unheard sigh."Uhm… Alexander, this is around the time Piper would wake up to do a few things, and it would be weird, seeing you here. And I also need to catch up on sleep. Need to get up early, tomorrow." Ivy said.Ever since the time Bethany told her she was outside her home, she wasn't comfortable, allowing him stay this long, anymore. And it was best to keep from him, the fact that Bethany had come over."Alright then. I understand. Goodnight." Alexander said, then gave her a quick hug, and they bad e
Ivy felt uncomfortable, seeing those men at her back. With her past experiences with abduction, she was always cautious when she walking down any alley, and when she sees a group of men, walking like the way these ones were, too.She shook her head, and fastened her steps to avoid any trouble, looming. And thankfully, the group of men didn't run after her. They seemed to have just been walking down the alley, randomly. Ivy breathed a sigh of relief, and walked down to the cinema.There, she met Alexander. He was there before her, and that made her feel special. She knew there was a likeliness that she got there before him, since there were times when he was overloaded with work. But this time, he was able to get here before her.~flashback~"It's always really good to smile, and you look beautiful when you smile." Claire complimented.~back to reality~"You got here, earlier than I thought." Ivy said, with a smile."I know right? I just want to make enough time for this. By the way, y
Ivy rushed to Liam, immediately, and held him tight.“Liam, are you alright?” She asked, in an alarming tone.“Yes mommy. I’m fine.” Liam answered.Piper came out of the room, with her hair, wet. She had just had a shower, and heard Ivy’s alarming tone, so she came out to find out what was going on.“What’s going on?” Piper asked.“His nostrils. Blood came out.” Ivy said, with a worried expression.Piper bent down to Liam to see the blood from his nostrils.“What happened, Liam?” Piper asked, looking worried as well.“I think it’s because I picked my nose the wrong way.” Liam said, still surprised at their reaction over his nose bleed.“You hurt yourself?” Ivy asked, still looking scared.She knew that if anything happened to Liam, she wouldn’t be able to bear it. Liam was her world, and she felt that she would never be able to move on, if anything crucial, happened to him. Ivy searched online, to confirm if nose bleed, could occur, if he picked his nose, the wrong way, and the intern
“No! Please don’t! I am here, already. What do you want from me?” Alexander asked.The man chuckled. “Wow. It’s so nice to see you in person. You look even more handsome in person, actually.”Alexander could not find the right response to what the man was saying, and what he was more interested in, was ensuring that Bethany was fine.“Anyways, you might not believe me, but I am a big fan of yours. I mean, in the business world, you are a guru, and your business tactics has also helped me to improve on some business ideas. But I am one crazy fan. I want to always keep you in check, so you remain my favorite man.”“I…I don’t understand.” Alexander said, looking baffled.“Recently, you have been having rumors about a scandal. Like you are in a relationship with two women. She, and one other lady. What’s her name, again?” He thought hard. “Yeah! Ivy!” He said as he recalled.“I am not in a relationship with her. People were just trying to spread rumors. None of what you think, is true.”B
"Piper!" She called, and ran to her. Piper tried to wipe her tears immediately, but Ivy had seen them."Piper, what's wrong?" She asked sitting on the floor next to her."Nothing… it's fine. Just had a really bad day." Piper said, and Ivy sighed."I know that's not it. A bad day's not enough for you to cry. What happened? Tell me." Ivy probed, then Piper started to sob again.She cried for minutes and Ivy hugged her, trying to calm her down."You can always tell me what happened? I had a bad day too, we can share it. Come on, Piper, tell me what's wrong." Ivy said, and Piper sniffed.For a while, she didn't say a word, and Ivy thought she wasn't going to respond. But after some minutes, she did."I… today, I lost my job." She said in a whisper, and Ivy's hand flew to her mouth."You don't mean it." Ivy said, in shock."I don't know… I just don't know how, or why… I lost the job." She said, and broke into fresh tears."How?" Ivy asked, as she still couldn't bring herself to believe it.
"I'm so sorry! I'm really sorry sir!" The waitress exclaimed in shock, and fear. Ivy looked at the man with her mouth open, and tried to apologize, but the man stood up abruptly, scaring them."I'm so sorry sir. It was a mistake, I never…" Ivy was saying, but "Shut it! Shut it up! I don't want to hear a single thing from you! This is outrageous!" He exclaimed, and everyone in the restaurant turned to watch them."Sir, it was really a mistake, I had no intention to…" The waitress was trying to say, but he wagged a finger at her."I'm going to get the both of you sacked! Where's the boss? Who's the boss here!?" He asked in outrage."Sir, please you need to calm down, we deeply apologize, and would pay whatever expenses is needed." Claire said, as she rushed to the scene."You know what shampoo I use? Or you're just going to wipe everything off my head? This suit, cost thousands, thousands and thousands of dollars! Are you going to wash it off? This isn't your regular suit, this is an
