Rita's eyes narrowed despite the fear in thern "And if | don't?"
"Well, | will make you" Ivy replied firmly "My husband is a billionaire, one call and I find out everything"
Rita's eyes widened and she looked Ivy over as if seeing her for the first time. "If you're so important now, what
do you want with me?
Ivy blinked. "You're my cousin for heaven's sake. | haven't seen you in a long time. You're my blood, Rita, and I'm
here to help"
Rita paused as if thinking. Finally, she spoke. "Alright then," she sighed.
"Thank you" Ivy cheered. "Can | cinside?"
"No," Rita replied, her eyes shining with fear again. She glanced round the street, suddenly becoming
uncomfortable. "Not today
Ivy's chest constricted with fear. "When? What happened?"
"Nothing. Just go. We'll see tomorrow. Please, Rita said, turning towards the door.
Ivy didn't understand anything, but she was willing to trust Rita. "Alright. See you tomorrow," she said and left.

After thirty minutes, with nobody going in or coming out of Rita's house, Ivy finally gave up.
"Let's go home. | will chere tomorrow," she said with a sigh.
Bud nodded and started the car. Ivy sighed again as all the feelings stirred inside her. First, it was Theresa, and
now it was Rita. She really hoped they were both fine.
"Was Mr Stone able to find out who was responsible for the multiple journalists yesterday?" Bud asked, pulling
her out of her thoughts

"Oh," Ivy replied. She had completely forgotten about yesterday's events "No. We didn't even talk about it."
They didn't talk about it because they were doing other things. Her body moved at only thinking about their
lovemaking And then the thought trailed off to Silas's words but she shoved it off
"Since the boss thinks it's not worth pursuing, | won't make enquiries then," Bud said.
Ivy knew Mason was behind it. He had given up too easily when Olivia left, which only meant he was plotting
something bigger, something more sinister. But, she still didn't want to give it much thought. To think about it is
to dive into how he found out about Suzie's restaurant in the first place.

Ivy made her way to her room and met Silas there. He had changed into a black
shirt, and had arranged a desk and chair in front of the window. Even just looking
at his sexy back, Ivy's body was already tingling.
"Hey," she said, hugging him from behind.
