The Substitute’s Redemption Chapter 80
Done for the day… another boring one without her, Ivy thought as she gazed at Jane’s empty seat beside hers and heaved a deep sigh. She made her way out of the laboratory building and walked to the parking lot where she knew her driver was waiting to drive her home as usual. She paused to gaze at the myth tree in the middle of the parking lot.It only grew flowers in February and specifically during Valentine’s week. Funny how Jane’s absence and overwhelming boredom made her notice things she probably wouldn’t have.She decided she wouldn’t be able to bear sitting through another silent ride with her stoic driver this pleasant afternoon, she was already bored enough. Might as well take a leisurely stroll home, she had selected a casual outfit so it was meant to be.She walked up to the Range a few feet away and shook her hands at the driver when she tried to open the back door.“Miss Lee? You’re not ready to go home yet?” He asked with a puzzled look on his stoic face.“No, Gabe. I’m

Ivy turns back the way she came and took a detour to her regular flower shop as she had decided to listen to the old lady.She had questions swimming in her head but knew it was pointless asking or wondering because all the facts had been thrown in her face, though she wondered where Bruce was and why he didn’t meet up with her himself.She walks into the store with a smile ready for the shop assistant who was always there to get the usual.“Hi Carey, how have you…” she paused as she saw an unfamiliar face behind the counter.“Hello Miss Lee, I am the assistant available today. Carey needed me to cover for her.”“Is she ok? Anything serious?”“Oh hardly, Miss Lee,” the new assistant chuckled.“Do give me a moment please, I’ll get your usual ready for you.”Ivy watched with narrowed eyes as she moved to the back of the store. She had her guard up since the old lady had mentioned getting fresh flowers for her mum. Bruce may or may not have sent her but she was already here and ready to

Bruce sat at Maurice’s booth at the hotel with a drink in front of him but his attention had been focused entirely on his phone, his fingers drummed on his knee as a sign of unease.Would the organization even get a chance to contact Ivy? She had a driver who doubled as a hidden bodyguard for whoever was working behind the scenes of this carefully woven plot.“… so what do you think?”Bruce raised unfocused eyes to glance at Maurice.“Hmm, I think that’s good. It would be wonderful,” nothing would make Maurice talk so much if it wasn’t his new girlfriend. Probably planning how to surprise her, he thought.Maurice sighed, “Bruce… I wasn’t talking about my Nina this time. Why are you so restless, your little girlfriend would be contacted and the organization would definitely let you know about it…”“But when, Maurice?!” He snapped and Maurice stared at him seriously with no waves in his eyes.He rested his head in his palms, “I’m sorry, man. I just have this feeling I can’t shake off for

Ivy walked into her home and saw her mum reading a book in the living room then adjusted her face and composed herself because her mother could always tell when something was bothering her… like she could smell emotions.She bounded to her mother in a doting and bubbly manner, “Mummy,” she gave her mother a tight hug as she recomposed herself.“Ivy? Are you alright dear?” See? Pretty sure she could smell emotions, she thought then held her mum at arm’s length.“Why? Can’t I hug my own mother anymore? I’m pretty sure I’m your only child so you’re supposed to keep babying me.”Her mother laughed at her antics and took off her reading glasses.“Alright, alright. My only baby,” she said and squished Ivy’s cheeks.Ivy giggled and swayed from side to side.“Mum, I got you your favorite flowers,” she picked it off her side where she had carefully placed it and presented it to her mum with a big smile.Her mother gasped at the sweet gesture, “Thank you so much, my baby. You’ve never forgotten

Bruce and Maurice made their way to the airport, the processes and queues then finally made it into the plane before breathing a sigh of relief. No one had stopped them, it seemed that Ivy had it down.“Have you informed your agency base of our arrival?”“Yeah, I sent them our itinerary so they will be ready to pick us up at the airport.”“Oh and your little girlfriend did good, hopefully Young Master Ethan doesn’t notice the discrepancy anytime soon. We need to be airborne before I can breathe easily.”Bruce nodded and they both closed their eyes and counted the minutes till the pilot’s announcement came through the speakers. Bruce tried not to smile as he imagined the type of ruckus Ivy had managed to cause at the Harrington mansion.#####“Miss Lee, that will be enough of your childish antics. Get out of the sunroof, take your megaphone and your car off this property this instant.”Ivy gazed at her for a few seconds and Cassidy thought she had gotten through her. She is nothing but

Brock watched Jane walk away from the mansion standing at the balcony of the CCTV room of the mansion. His fists clenched as he remembered the way she had recounted the robbery. She had turned off her emotions and her eyes were blank. The bastard had shot at her, no, he had almost shot her.What kind of person did Darren find for the job? The idiot didn’t stick to instructions at all! They had decided that the gun would not be loaded to avoid accidents but the prick had loaded it and even fired a shot?!His heart clenched as he remembered how shaky her voice was as she spoke. He had managed to convince her to talk about it so she wouldn't get scared of taking the train back home.__________“Jane,” she turned to face him, “I know that you don’t want to talk about the robbery because it was a scary moment for you but…”She cut him off, “There are no buts about it Senior Brock, I don’t want to talk about it. Absolutely not.”“I know, I understand… but if you don’t talk about it and shar

Ivy bounded down the stairs and made her way to the table where her mum sat having a breakfast of chai tea and toast.“Morning mum,” she placed a loud smack on her mum’s cheek and her mum chucked.“Good morning, my baby. You seem very happy,” she contemplated for a few seconds before picking up an extra toast then stole a glance at Ivy who shook her head at her.“I honestly don’t know why you even bother with dieting mum, you never add even a few pounds. You could pass off entirely as my older sister.”Her mum’s sheepish look turned sassy as she flipped her hair and crossed her long, slender legs and Ivy’s eyes narrowed in annoyance. Three, two, one…“Well of course, dear. All those hours doing Pilates should pay off so I can show off.”“I shouldn’t have bothered, you become a peacock whenever we talk about this,” she mock glared at her mum.“Well at the very least, my efforts always paid off during sexy time with your father,” she sighed.Ivy spat out her orange juice and turned to he

Ethan sat at the table with Cassidy for lunch but it was obvious his attention was not present much to the annoyance of Cassidy who clenched her fists below the table. She tried to bring his attention to her, “Ethan? Is something wrong with the food? Isn’t it to your liking? I can prepare something else for you.”She made to get up but he put out his hand to stop her, “I’m perfectly fine with it, there’s no need.”She tampered down her annoyance at the fact that he wasn’t giving her a chance to stun him with her culinary skills. He was always eager to gobble up Jane’s cooking and didn’t even want to share.“Are you sure? You haven’t eaten a lot from your plate.”She tilted her head in a way that she assumed was attractive and tried to hold his hand across the table but he withdrew it.“Ethan, what is it? You are withdrawing from me and it’s not fair, I’m your best friend. Now you don’t even talk to me anymore.”“I’ve been hearing what you’ve been saying, Ivy. And I do feel the need to
