Chapter Six

Ivy spent the rest of the morning doing nothing. Today was a Saturday and she had no class. The twins had taken their precious time to find her an outfit for tonight. They'd even gone as far as helping her wash her hair. It was already 5 pm and she will start getting dressed any moment now. She had been on edge as well. Yesterday, she had been drunk. Alcohol had pushed her into making a move while today will be different. She would be very sober. She had promised herself that she would not take even a sip of alcohol today.

She was lost in her thoughts when Gianna dropped a box on the table in front of her. "For you..."

"What this?" Ivy asked with a raise of her eyebrow.

"A very handsome young man brought it over. Apparently, your boyfriend sent it." Gemma said and flopped down beside Ivy.

Ivy opened the wrapped box with care and what she found inside amazed her. In it was a gown. When they carefully took it out, they realized it was from the famous cloth brand Elites. Their pieces cost nothing less than millions. "Wow!! This is hot girl!" Gemma gushed over the cloth.

"It's gorgeous but I won't be wearing this," Ivy said and carefully placed the cloth back into the box. She couldn't allow herself out on a cloth that cost more than what she spends in probably a whole year.

"Why? This is just perfect for you." Gianna said her voice laced with confusion.

"We just met. What do you think he would ask in return for gifting me such a huge gift?" Ivy asked. From her past experience, she found out that nothing is free. One way or another, you just have to pay it back. "You both will never convince me so, I'll return this to him when he comes over later."

Both girls let her take the box back to her room and urged them to start getting dresses since she insisted on wearing what she had initially planned. They helped her style her long hair into a high ponytail and did the baby's hair. A few strands were left to frame her face is her makeup was very light. At exactly ten minutes to 7, Chris came knocking on their door. Gianna went to let him in and Gemma added finishing touches to her makeup.

Chris had left his office a little too early. He got to the front of Ivy's house just a few minutes past 6 so he ordered his driver to drive around the neighborhood for a while. Then when it was about ten minutes to seven, he went up to knock. He was ushered inside by one of her friends. He took a seat to wait for Ivy and when she appeared, he was once again blown away. Last night, she was dressed in a party dress but tonight, she was putting on a black off-the-shoulder dinner gown. It wasn't what he sent to her but he thought she looked perfect. He could feel his body go hot. Once again, he felt something greater than what he felt last night. He felt like canceling their dinner date and just spending the whole night with her.

"Hey, " Ivy snapped her fingers in front of him when he was lost starting. Yes, she knew she looked great and it was wonderful seeing the biggest billionaire in New York at a loss of words because of her. "Shall we?" She asked when he shook his head to clear his thoughts.

"My God!! If I had my way, you would not be stepping out of this house today. And tomorrow, and probably the day after as well." He said and pulled her closer to himself while holding her tiny waist. "You do things that no one else has ever done to me." He whispered.

Ivy felt her whole body go numb. It took all she had to keep her leg from slipping. "Let's uhm, go..." She said.

He let go of her waist but then held her hand in his. He just wanted to keep holding her and not let go even for a second. What was wrong with him? He hated being touchy with people byt with her, he just wanted to keep touching. They got out of her house and made their way to his car. The door was opened for them and they left. On the way, he remembered that he had not told her about the change in plans. "Plans changed. We'll be dining with the state Secretary. Hope you are okay with that." He was still holding onto her hand even after sitting in the car.

Ivy started to panic. "The state secretary,? Why? It's one thing to be involved with you and now am meeting the state secretary!?"

"Are you scared? Cause you don't need to be." He said.

"I am not scared. This is all just happening too fast for me." She said. The state secretary is like the next person after the President.

"We could go back. I just didn't want to miss being with you and it was a late appointment. Just say the word and I'll take you back home and do everything I want to do to you right now." He said.

"What would you do?" She asked. His eyes were telling her part of what he wanted to do and somehow, she could feel it too.

"I want to tear this cloth off you and worship your body. I want to hear you moan while u bury myself inside you. I want to make you cum so bad that you'll only think of me every single day." He whispered to her. As he was talking, his hand was drawing circled on her exposed thigh through the slit of her gown.

"We are here boss." They both heard the driver announce.

"Shall we?" Chris asked and Ivy nodded her head after taking a deep breath to calm herself down.

The door was opened and Chris went out then walked to her side of the car and opened the door then, helped her out. They walked into the restaurant. Ivy was amazed. They'd come to Hope's restaurant. It is said that reservations have to be made a month before one could be able to eat here. She glanced at the demi-God who was walking beside her and she smiled. 'The rich sure are lucky' she thought. They were led into a private room and they met the state secretary already seated. Ivy made Tu greet him but was directed to her seat by Chris.

"Who is she?" The state secretary asked after they had taken their seats.

"I had plans before you called me out. What's this about?" Chris said like he didn't give a fuck what the man before him had to say. Which of course he didn't.

"You should at least show some respect!"

"To who? Get to the fucking point and stop wasting my precious time." Chris cut him off. Ivy looked at him briefly and he was watching her. "You have just five minutes to tell me why you called me out and after that, Am out of here." He added without taking his eyes off Ivy.

"My daughter will be here soon. She asked for this meeting." He said and glanced at his wristwatch. He had barely finished speaking when the door was pushed open and a lady walked in.

"Sorry, I delayed Papa." They all heard a voice say.

"The hell?!" Chris groaned. He knew that voice.
