“I h@të it when you avoid me Miss. Rhett.” Ivan said but this time softly and Ivy look up.
“Why is that?” Ivy asked as they looking at each other.
********
” It’s your responsibility to stay with me where ever I am, if you continue to avoid how will you do that?” Ivan said.
“Even though I stop avoiding you, I can never forgive you for wh@tëver you did to me yesterday.” Ivy said angrily.
Ivan moved away from her guilt in his heart, he then went back to his seat.
“Call me Melissa.” Ivan said.
“You won’t even say anything about it right? All these was your fault and I have all right to be annoyed with you. So trust me I will limit my way of being so cool to you.” Ivy said and left the office.
After she left, Ivan raised his head and sigh in frustration.
“I don’t know why I did that yesterday and I don’t even know why I am being affected by her avoiding me.” Ivan said.
* Some minutes later*
Ivy came back with Melissa. Melissa went ahead to meet Ivan, while Ivy sat down on the couch in the office pressing her phone.
“Set a meeting at the appropriate time.” Ivan said.
“Of course sir.” Melissa said and looking at him while smiling sheepily.
Ivy looked at her and scoffs.
“Ivan doesn’t even look at her less alone knows she loves him.” Ivy muttered.
“Sir, there’s a company who is trying to compete with us. That company seems to be in a high position, but we are quite higher than them.” Melissa said and Ivan looked at her.
“What? Is that a rival, you all shouldn’t lack behind in doing your job. Inform everyone about that.” Ivan said.
“Okay sir.” Melissa said and look at him again.
After a few minutes of discussing business matter, Melissa left the office not without smirking at Ivy.
” Let’s go.” Ivan said getting up and took his suit from the arm of the chair.
” Uhn, where?” Ivy said not ready to stand up.
” Home, done here.” Ivan said heading towards the door.
” Then why did you come to the office?” Ivy Asked and he stopped.
She didn’t receive any answer because Ivan walked away.
” Did he come because of me? No, that’s never possible.” Ivy said and left the office.
They started walking out towards the elevator as the staffs greeted him while some throw hard glares at Ivy which she ignore.
👥: Why is he leaving so early
👥: Can’t really lie, I have missed him a lot.
👥: He looks hot every single day.
They kept murmuring to each other until Ivan and Ivy left the premises.
They got to the car and the driver ignited the engine, this time they sat down together.
The journey home was quite a calm one as each other maintain their distance in the car.
Ivy rested her head on the window side, as she kept looking at the city. Suddenly she smiled because she sighted something.
” Ivan sir, can you please stop the car.” Ivy said.
” Why?”
” I love ice cream a lot and there’s one over there so can I get one please.” Ivy pouted which Ivan found cute.
” Stop the car and wait here.” Ivan said and the driver said as he instructed.
They got out of the car and Ivy immediately ran to the ice cream seller like a kid.
” Such a baby.” Ivan said following her.
” Do you want some?” Ivy asked as she collected a vanilla ice cream.
” No, go ahead.” Ivan said and she nodded.
👥: Oh my, isn’t that Ivan Aurthur
👥: Is that is girlfriend?
👥: Let’s go take a picture.
” Ivan Aurthur, we are one of your favorite fan cause we love you and your company, you always try to give we the public the best.” One of the women.
” Thank you, Thank you.” Ivan said but without smiling.
” Can we take a picture please?” Another asked again.
” Sure.” Ivan said.
” What? He is going to take a picture with everyone each. Wow that’s awesome.” Ivy said angrily.
More and more people started coming towards him too and Ivan couldn’t lie, he was just tired already.
“Stop it you all.” Ivy said and moved closer to them.
“You all should stop being so clingy towards him.” Ivy said and stand beside him while Ivan kept looking at her.
“Who are you to say that?” One of them said.
“You don’t have to know that, just stay away. Let’s go.” Ivy said and started dragging him away while Ivan waved at them again.
They got to another kiosk with less people there and they stopped.
“Why did you do that?” Ivan asked releasing himself roughly.
” Sorry sir, I thought you were feeling uncomfortable with them.” Ivy said looking away.
” Really? Is that really the reason.” Ivan asked.
“What’s else could be the reason.” Ivy said still looking away.
“Are you still going to keep avoiding me?” Ivan asked and Ivy looked at him.
“I… ” She was about to talk when bubbles came flying up in the air, making the scene very beautiful.
She started rolling around the bubbles and tap some which will make her giggle like a kid. Ivan kept staring at her, he didn’t even realize when a smile crept up his lips.
“Tell me sir, do you like the girl?” A shop owner asked.
“No, I…”
“You should tell her how you feel before it’s too late, she is very pretty. Don’t let her slip away.” The man said and smiled.
Ivan look at Ivy again and his heart flutter seeing her playing round the bubbles and how she smiles.
“I don’t know what it is. She.. she is just my PA.” Ivan said to himself.
★ The restaurant★
Melody had decided to apologise to Noah and she saw this time as an opportunity because most of the staffs are in the kitchen and some went to the stores, there were also less customers.
She walked to him where he is busy arranging some stuffs.
” Hey Noah.” Melody said and Noah faced her, looking at her strangely.
“Umm, what’s wrong?” Noah asked cleaning his hands.
“I.. I just wish to apologise to you for however I might have treated you. Please find a place in your heart to forgive me.” Melody said softly.
“And why the sudden change of heart?” Noah asked.
Melody stared at him for a while and she couldn’t deny he looks so good especially in the apron he is wearing.
“I just felt that wh@tëver I am doing is wrong and most people are criticizing me also. Please forgive me.” Melody said.
“Anyways, I was never annoyed or angry with you. Just sad I couldn’t make friends with you.” Noah said.
“Then friends?” Melody said smiling, and stretch her hands for a handshake.
“Of course.” Noah accepted it and smiled.
“We should hug.” Melody said and hug him immediately.
Noah was shocked at first but later started reciprocating it.
Unknown to them, someone was looking at them with so much anger in the person’s eyes before she walked away angrily.
★ The shop★
It’s evening time, it’s time for Ivan and Ivy to go home.
“Wait for me in the car, while I pay for the things you bought.” Ivan said and Ivy smiled.
“Thank you, I will be waiting.” Ivy said and went to the car.
Ivan paid for the stuffs and started going back to the car. He got there but couldn’t find Ivy.
“Where’s Ivy?” Ivan asked the driver.
“I haven’t seen her since you both left.” The driver.
“Oh Sh|t, where are you Miss. Rhett.” Ivan said ruffling his hair.
