"Have you lost your manners?" Ivy yelled, her frustration edged on her forehead.Sheila's eyes widened at the condition of her office."Are you packing?" She queried, with a slight smirk on her lips.It was obvious she wanted her to leave."I'm taking some books out why?" Ivy lied, she wouldn't give her the satisfaction of making her feel she was leaving the office for her."Ow alright, so how is it? I told you right? You'll do it, you don't have a choice." She muttered, mockery filled in her voice."Yes I'm doing it, not because you asked me to, but because Ryder my husband asked me to do it, due to your lack of experience." Ivy muttered, then smirked to her face.She could see Sheila balled her fist beside her. Her forehead slowly deepening into a frown. Ivy was right, she had no experience being an MD. Even when she still owned her company, she wasn't always around to manage any deals, Sheila was always interested in clubbing with her friends. And how her company was hijacked from
Her eyes welled up with tears. The man she had loved with every fiber of her being. He had also loved her like she was the only woman that ever existed, but now, he had changed completely from who he used to be. He lied to her about almost everything.Why was he calling now? What does he want? She knew why he was calling and she scoffed painfully.It was obvious.He was calling on behalf of Sheila.To make her take the job. When Sheila mentioned he listened to her now instead of his wife, she didn't doubt that. Now he was calling to command her to take on Sheila's job along with her own. How more cruel could he get? She was even pregnant with his baby.She picked up the call on the third ring."Ivy, please see me in my office now.." He muttered, his voice unusually soft, as if weighed down by guilt.Ivy's frown deepened. She didn't know what to say to him __ she wasn't sure if she wanted to see him yet."Please.." His voice came on again."Okay.." Ivy muttered, her voice barely audi
"Say that again." Ivy threatened, her voice cold."You will do the interview." Sheila muttered once again, her voice fierce and determined."What?" Ivy's reeling voice echoed."Yes, that's why I let them direct the email to you." Sheila snarled."That's not my job, I wouldn't do it.""But you will, you would do the interview, the negotiation as well as the work."Ivy's brows raised and her fist tightened even harder, her knuckles turning white. Where does she get all this nerves?"And I said I wouldn't do it!" "Well.. we'll see about that." Sheila muttered, her lips tilted into a smirk.Ivy's blood boiled in her brain. If they were outside, she'd have sent slaps across her face. She clenched her teeth hard."You better not look forward to it. Word of advice." She muttered."We'll see to that." Sheila replied, making her more reeled up.She balled her fist tightly and turned to leave.Few minutes later, she arrived at her office.She couldn't wait to get out of this place now! It was
Her face twisted in anger. Even though she tried to act strong and hide it, it could be clearly seen that she was heart broken. "Do you have to attend?" Larisa asked, feeling deeply for Ivy. "Let's go.." Ivy picked up a file and walked out of her office. She needed to see clearly the woman who had taken what was rightfully hers. She needed to see how she fit into a position that was clearly meant for her. Larisa walked along with her. When they got to the hall, Sheila sat with her chin held high with a fierce look on her face, right beside Ryder. Ivy's fingers balled into a tight fist. She was loosing it inside, tears were threatening to drown her face, but she had to hold on tightly, she refused to show any sign of vulnerability. Swallowing her lumps, she walked towards a sit. Her eyes never leaving Ryder as he spoke. She watched his lips going up and down as he announced Sheila as the new managing director of designs. Ivy clenched her teeth tightly. Ryder couldn't e
"Ivy.." He breathed. Ivy's heart beat faster, waiting for whatever he had to say. "I.. I.. I'm sorry Ivy.." Ryder muttered, his voice low and his eyes still looking everywhere except Ivy's. "Sorry? Why? I'm just working here now, how's that offensive? Ow did that offend Ivy?" Sheila muttered, her face soft with her brows raised, but Ivy didn't reply, she was quiet, still finding it hard to believe. Why was he sorry? Was Sheila saying the truth? Does she work in the company now? This question juggled her mind "Sheila's business isn't doing good at the moment Ivy.. so she has to work with us for now." Ryder's voice pushed through.. Ivy bit on her lower lips. Sheila had grown from just coming to the office to now officially working with them. Ryder sure had lost his mind. With her face twisted in anger, Ivy left his office. Larisa followed her up as she sighted her. "I'm truly sorry Viee, I can't believe Mr CEO will do something like this.. we all know you're the one fo
Without thinking more about it, Ryder grabbed her lips into his and began relishing on it. Ivy felt delighted, her heart dangled with bliss as her hand goes round his body, while she devoured on his lips as well. Her husband was finally back to her. --------- It was morning, light rays sipped through her window into her eyes. She rolled aimlessly on her bed recalling last night. She had one of the hottest night with her husband. The joy in her heart clouded her face. She was extremely happy, anyone could tell. But as she stretched her hand out the more, it was met with an empty space on the bed. She jolted up immediately. It was six in the morning, where had her husband gone? Her forehead creased. Her heart constricting with uncertainties. What if her husband later went out last night? She remembered Ryder's phone ringing non-stop at night after their escapades, was it in her dream? Either way, she stood up, the joy still lingering in her heart. Ryder wouldn't d
