Ivy and Melody were about to go meet Sophia who had waved to them, when Ivy bumped into someone. Ivy looked at the person and her heart skip a beat.
******
” Ummm sorry.” Melody said to Ivan and Bryan.
They went their way but not without Ivy glancing at Ivan again. She wondered why he had that cold look on his face.
They got to where Sophia is and they exchanged pleasantries.
” Hi Ivy.” Sophia shouted due to the blazing music coming from the club.
” Sophia, why did you call us here.” Ivy shouted back.
” Just come and enjoy yourself, let’s go to the dance floor.” Sophia said dragging them.
But Ivy held her back.
” Go on, I will wait here.” Ivy said and they nodded.
Sophia and Melody got on the dance floor and they started dancing to the rythm of the music.
Ivan and Bryan sat down on one of the chairs at the bartender place.
” Give us a shot.” Bryan said.
” You know I don’t drink.” Ivan said.
” Common, just this one.” Bryan said but a glare from Ivan make him kept shut.
Bryan’s eyes went to the girls dancing on the dance floor and his eyes caught up with Sophia. He dropped his drink that instance and glared at her more making a sad face.
” Hey what’s wrong with you.” Ivan asked noticing his expression.
” Umm it’s nothing.” Bryan said and he took his eyes off her.
Ivy start down quietly where she is. She is starting to get uncomfortable, she wanted to go home so badly but both of her friends wouldn’t even listen to her.
Just then, she started noticing some eyes on her. She turned around and saw some boys looking at her, she immediately turn her gaze away and bit her lower lip in fear.
Ivan noticed the girl she bumped into the other time and he saw some kind of expression on her face.
He traced the direction Ivy was looking at and realize it’s due to some boys.
He stood up Immediately.
“Hey, where are you going?” Bryan asked.
“I will be right back.” Ivan said and went his way.
The boys were about to go meet Ivy, they stood up already before Ivan caught up with them.
“Where do you all think you are going.” Ivan said.
“What do you mean and who are you to ask us that question.” One of them said.
One of them looked closely at Ivan and mouthed an ‘oh’.
“Guys, Don’t you know him. The owner of Aurthur’s empire.” He said and they looked closely and realized it was him.
“Ivan Aurthur, wow. It’s a blessing to be here with you, please can we take a pic.” Another said.
“Sure, but you all have to tell me why you were busy at the girl over there.” Ivan said and they gulped down nothing.
“We…we were just, she is a beautiful girl. So we thought we…”
“If I catch you looking her way again, then you all are going to regret.” Ivan said coldly and left.
“But I haven’t take the picture.” They said but Ivan ignored them.
Ivan got back to his seat but couldn’t find Bryan.
* Outside the bar*
“Leave me, what do you think you are doing.” Sophia yelled at the man holding her.
“So it’s a crime that I hold my girlfriend’s hand.” It’s Bryan.
“Ex..ex girlfriend, am no longer your girlfriend, you cheater.” Sophia yelled again.
“Sophia, I didn’t get the chance to explain back then and I don’t think I will be able to explain now. All you just have to know is that, I didn’t have a choice.” Bryan said still holding her hand.
“You didn’t have a choice, Wow. Have heard you, now please can you let me be?” Sophia said before jerking off her hand and went back inside.
Bryan sighed heavily roughing his hair.
Unknown to them, Ivy had seen them both. She had came out to make a call.
” Those two…He is the one of the guys we bumped into. But how did Sophia know him.” Ivy said to herself before going back in.
It’s finally time for them to go home, Melody and Ivy bid Sophia goodbye before going their way.
★Rhett’s residence ★
Ivy got home thinking about why those boys who were looking at her didn’t came for her.
“That’s strange.” She muttered before she entered.
She saw nothing in the sitting room and she believed her granny had gone to bed.
“I thought she said she is gonna lock me up if I didn’t come early, she is so funny.” Ivy said before entering her room.
She removed her clothes before going to the bathroom. As she was taking her bath, her mind travelled to the cold face she had saw earlier in the club.
★ Aurthur’s Mansion★
Ivan entered the mansion and saw Louisa who was watching movie.
He immediately frowned. Louisa saw him and sprang up.
* Oh God, am in trouble.* Louisa said inwardly.
” Welcome brother.” Louisa said before going to hug him but Ivan didn’t reciprocate him.
Louisa moved back from him with her down.
” How many times have I warned you never to stay up this late.” Ivan said coldly.
” But brother, I couldn’t get some sleep that’s why I came to watch movie.” Louisa said.
“You could have gone to meet Ma Rose to sing a lullaby for you.” Ivan said and Louisa looked at him.
“What! A lullaby? Am not a baby.” Louisa said.
“You are still 18, that makes you a child now go get some sleep, I don’t have your time please.” Ivan said.
“Okay, good night.” Louisa said before going in.
Ivan sighed and went to his room. He took a bath and got dressed in his night wear.
He was about to go to sleep when Ivy’s face suddenly flashed through his mind.
“What! What the heck was that, I just saved a girl, no big deal.” Ivan muttered before drifting off to sleep.
★ Next morning~ Aurthur’s empire★
Ivan got to his office and got settled for work. He called Melissa over through the telephone and she arrived in no time.
“Morning boss.” Melissa said.
“Any schedule today?” Ivan asked.
“Just a brief meeting between you and Mr. Gorgio.” Melissa said.
“Where does he want it to be held at.”
“He said he will Text you the location.” Melissa answered.
“You are not my PA for no reason Melissa.” Ivan said facing her.
“I.. sorry sir.” Melissa said bringing down her head.
” Leave.” Ivan said and she nodded before leaving the office.
” Gosh, I h@ťě how he always scream at me. He doesn’t even see how I am always hurt.” Melissa mumbled before leaving.
★ Later in the day~ Ivy’s work place★
Ivy and Melody were at the food counter when they suddenly heard the murmurs from other workers and customers.
👥: Oh my, isn’t that Ivan Aurthur
👥: Ivan, a pic with you please
👥: Please Ivan, I need an authograph.
” Ivan? Oh my God Ivan Aurthur?” Ivy and Melody said at a time.
They rushed out to see many people surrounding Ivan and the other business owner.
” Oh my, he is Ivan? Cold ice?” Ivy said.
“We had meet, maybe we couldn’t see his face well last night.” Melody said.
They weren’t able to get to him well because of the customers and other workers surrounding him.
They later started departing from him and the restaurant. Ivan eyes landed on Ivy and he squinched his brows trying to remember where he met her.
*Oh, she is the one from last night.* Ivan said inwardly.
“So Mr. Ivan, I would like us to work together to improve both my company and your company.” Mr. Gorgio said.
“Sure, both groups coming together will be a huge achievement to both parties and I believe our products and works are far too good.” Ivan said.
“Everyone knows that.” Mr. Gorgio said.
They finished their discussion after a while and Mr. Gorgio left but Ivan didn’t.
“Why isn’t he leaving?” Ivy said looking at him.
Melody came back after serving a customer.
“Ivy, a coffee.” Melody said but Ivy’s mind was far away from what she is saying.
“Ivy.” Melody said and snapped her fingers to get her out of her thoughts.
“Uhm sorry, what’s it.” Ivy asked.
“Just move.” Melody said getting the coffee herself.
“Don’t look at him too much.” Melody whispered into her ear before leaving.
“What’s she saying.” Ivy said and look at Ivan again who was busy with his phone.

“So you busy tonight.” Mark said.
“Uhn Yes.” Louisa responded.
“Oh, is it because of Ryan?” Mark said and Louisa frowned.
“What do you mean.” Charlotte responded.
“We all know Ryan likes you, I mean who wouldn’t want to like a Billionaire’s sister after all.” Mark said.
” Okay, you have said enough. Now get lost.” Louisa said angrily.
“But am not..”
“Get lost.” Louisa yelled.
“Fine.” Mark yelled back before leaving.
“That $cvmbag, what does he think of himself.” Charlotte said.
“Ryan Ryan, it’s his fault after all.” Louisa said.
” But he really likes you.” Charlotte said and Louisa glared at her.
“Sorry.” Charlotte said.
★ Somewhere in the college★
Ryan and his two friends were together.
“Hey Ryan, why do you like Louisa so much.” Dennis said.
“Isn’t it obvious it’s because of money.” Mike said.
And Immediately Ryan held his neck tight.
“Hey, what are you doing.” Dennis said as he tried to let go of Ryan’s hand and he succeeded.
“If any of you mention that it’s because of money that I like Louisa, then you are getting it from me.” Ryan said.
“We won’t.” Dennis said.
“I love her sincerely, am not part of the guys who likes her cause she is a sister of a Billionaire.” Ryan said and they nodded.
★ Ivy’s work place~ 5pm★
Ivy suddenly got a call from her boss and went to her office, it is located at the back of the restaurant.
She knocked and entered when she was told to do so.
“You called for me ma’am.” Ivy said.
“We received an order…”
“An order, since when did we start receiving orders.” Ivy cut in.
“Ivy, you don’t cut in my words.” Mrs. Blair said.
“Sorry man.” Ivy apologize.
“It is from a rich company and no one would want to deny that, so am sending you.” Mrs. Blair said.
*Me, why me?* Ivy said inwardly.
Mrs. Blair told her what has been ordered and she nodded before leaving the room.
She got to the restaurant and started packing the food and drink.
“Hey, where are you going with that.” Melody asked.
“Ma’am just told it’s been ordered.” Ivy said.
“Order? Do we take order.” Melody said squinching her brows.
“I asked her too but she told me it’s from a rich company, anyways bye.” Ivy said before walking out of the restaurant angrily.
She got to the company and entered through the elevator. She was directed by the secretary after she called the boss.
