Alexander was shocked to hear her say that. He had thought she'd be glad to go with him, especially that he had represented her boy's dad at the presentation that took place probably an hour ago."No?" He asked and she looked away with a stubborn look on her face. "I came for your boy." He said but she still refused to look at him."I'm very grateful." She said and he put his hands in his pockets and leaned against his car."That's not how you show it." He said staring intently at her."Despite my gratitude, I'd like to let you know that I never asked nor expected you to come. It was all Liam's doing so he should be the one owing you a favor but even with that, he can't possibly go to Paris." Ivy said as she took a step back."That's very funny." Alexander replied although he wasn't smiling."If that's all sir, then I'd have to resume my work." Ivy said and made to leave but he grabbed her hand which made her shocked. He left her arm and brought out his wallet."I'll pay you." He said

Alexander covered his face with a hand. He believed he had given strict orders for the information to remain with the police. But it couldn't have been the police. It would have been the staff and he made up his mind to sack everyone of them that had seen the maimed women. It served them right.Trust was a key thing in an organization.His telephone rang and he picked it."Alexander Grayson speaking.""This is Mr Francois Martin. We need to see you urgently. "~Alexander felt like his world was slowly crumbling as the business men and women broke their harsh news to him."This is something we'll take care of very soon. The criminal just picked my hospital for a random reason. I'm going to take care of the security men manning the cameras very soon, you don't have to withdraw the contract." Alexander said hoping his words could mean something."Mr Grayson, we never said we are withdrawing the contract. It's pending. We will think and discuss on it and whether it would be withdrawn or

Ivy stopped in shock but was still shrouded in disbelief.How could he be the one when the Michele was already detained by the police and being questioned? How could he be the one when they culprit was known to be a lady?He was just an ordinary waiter. "Nice try. I almost believed you but your joke is getting silly. Excuse me." She said but then he pointed a gun to her head and ivy stopped and put her hand to her mouth. "I always hate to do this but people like you push me to it. Just stay, just listen, can't you just believe my word for it? I hate it when I speak and I'm assumed to be a liar. How's it so hard to believe I maimed those three women? Tell me! Why can't you believe me?" He asked and Ivy shook her head in fear but it only made him mad."What exactly makes me seem like a liar!?" He asked and she said in her tiniest voice."We saw a woman in the surveillance cameras." She said and prepared for the strong impact of the camera only to hear him laugh."Oh, that was me. Yeah

"I'm so sorry but I'll meet you in the lobby very soon." She said even as her heart pounded against the walls of her chest. "You're going to ask why I'm sacrificing myself for this person. I don't know why myself, probably because I just like him and I can't bear to see him down. Taking all his money might not make him poor but he'll be devastated and he's my helper. I can't do this to him to save my own skin. I'll meet you in the lobby right now, WITHOUT the cards. Let's put an end to this." She said and stood from Alexander's side and turned off all the lights completely. She went to a little table where she and Alexander had eaten roasted turkey and took the knife. She looked at it and decided it was pretty harmless, then she walked to the next table where there was a tray of fruits placed on it and took the knife there. It was pretty sharp and she knew Davies wouldn't see since she had already turned off all the lights. She hid the knife in the waist band of her joggers and left

She closed her eyes knowing that was really the last strand of it all and braced for the sharp impact of the knife that she knew her face was going to take."Freeze!" She heard somewhere close by and that gave Davies quite a shock, he got so distracted and Ivy could hear a lot of feet running and in seconds, guns were pointed at Davies."Drop your weapons, raise your hands up high and step away from her if you don't want your brains splattered on the wall." She heard a police man say and Davies with an angry look, looked from the man to Ivy and seemed to decide his life was better than Ivy's.With anger, he threw away the knife and released Ivy's hands that he had held tight and raised his hands up high and stepped away from Ivy."Move away farther." The police said and he did that.Ivy stood and looked at her gashing arm and then she heard another pair of feet running and when she looked up, she saw Alexander.When he got to her, he bent down and sighed as he saw the wound and blood
