Ivy came back to the office and she resumed work.She went to Leon's office to drop a file.after dropping the file,she was about to go when Leon called her back.She turned slowly,she didn't look him in the eye as her head was bent low.She knew that he would punish her and do bad things to her because she sued him to court.She accepted her fate.He got up from his seat and Walked towards her.her heart beat increased in its pace as he approached her.He raised her chin up making her look him in the eye.Ivy was very nervous,Leon didn't fail to notice that she was scared.he retreated his hands immediately.he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable."Just look at me as I talk to you"he said to her and Ivy nodded but she kept rubbing her palms which were sweaty."I am very sorry for everything I did to you"he said and Ivy's jaw dropped.was she hearing right?."Pardon?"she muttered."I have been thinking of our meeting with each other,I couldn't help but feel bad for the wrong things I did to
Leon kept glancing at his wrist watch, he couldn't wait for the closing time to reach.he had never felt so happy in his life since his parents died.he was right in accepting his feelings.As soon as the time reached for dismissal,he left his office immediately and stood at his door waiting for Ivy.it didn't take long Before Ivy came out of her office.as soon as he saw Ivy he pretended to be on a call.Ivy was surprised to see him in the office,she thought he would have left like he usually does.she decided to stay back and wait for him to be done with his call because it was rude to Walk past him Like that."Good evening sir"she greeted after he put his phone in his bag."Where are you going?"he asked."Home"she replied."I will drive you home"he offered and Ivy hesitated.she was not used to him being kind to her."I thought we were friends now,"he said to her."Okay"Ivy replied.He grabbed her hand and dragged her with him not waiting for Ivy to say another word.There was silence be
