Chapter 213 +20  By the time Ivy got home, all of her anger had melted into exhaustion. The faint smell of dung still clung inside. “Hey, Ivy, I found a great idea!” Theresa exclaimed the moment Ivy walked through the door.  “What’s that?” Ivy asked, trying not to let her fatigue show.  to her clothes  as she stepped  \If Theresa noticed, she didn’t acknowledge it, she just continued speaking. “I thought of the perfect rebound for me. I could organize  seminar on stress or anger at your company. We could collaborate.” Ivy blinked, confused. “I don’t understand.”  Theresa stepped closer, excitement shimmering in her eyes. “We can work together. I’ll host the seminar at your office. We can start tomorrow, what do you think?”  a Ivy’s thoughts drifted to the mess caused by Rosie, and the awful scent hit her again. “My company is unavailable at the moment.” Then she told Theresa about the dung.  Oh  my goodness!” Theresa exclaimed, her eyes wide with concern. “Are you okay?”  “Yes,” Ivy nodded. “A little,” she admitted.  “I’m sorry,” Theresa said gently, biting her lip. “I… already made announcements about it being tomorrow…” Ivy scratched her temper, trying her hardest not to show her discomfort. “Oh.”  Theresa reached out for her hand. “I’m sorry, but it’s fine I can think of something else.”  Despite the smile on Theresa’s face, Ivy could see the disappointment in her eyes.  “We’ll figure something out,” Ivy said quickly. Then an idea hit her. “Wait, I’ve got it!” Theresa’s brow furrowed. “What is it?”  “My brother wants to do a photoshoot to promote the restaurant. You could host your seminar there, and I’ll take pictures. What do you think?” Theresa tilted her head and paused. “Not bad,” she said after a moment. “I think that could work.”  “Great,” Ivy said. “I’ll call Cole. What time tomorrow?” “Ten is fine,” Theresa replied just as her phone started ringing.  “Alright then,” Ivy said, excusing herself.  She headed upstairs, her stomach tightening at the thought of Silas, and then her conversation with Thomas. Pulling out her phone, she texted Cole about the new arrangement just as she reached her room.  “Baby,” she called softly, pushing the door open. “Yes, love,” Silas replied in a low voice.  He was still seated on the bed, the bandages ugly and long on his arms. Ivy’s anger fluttered in her chest, but she pushed it down and perched at the edge of the bed.  “How are you feeling?” she asked, leaning over to kiss him.  “Physically or emotionally?”  Her anger dissolved into tenderness. “Both.” He sighed. “Sad. Down. Heartbroken. Pissed.”  “Oh, baby,” she murmured, settling beside him. “I’m so sorry, my love.” Silas wrapped an arm around her. “It’s okay. I called Bailey about Island Nova. She came earlier. Then he told her everything.  IM  Chapter 213  As he spoke, Ivy’s emotions shifted from sadness to anger to pain, before finally settling into quiet sympathy.  “That’s just crazy,” she said, kissing softly. “I’m sorry, baby.”  His lips lingered on hers. “Thanks, baby”  Ivy deepened the kiss, her tongue brushing his, offering comfort and seeking companionship.  “This feels so good,” he whispered against her lips, pressing his hardness towards her.  Her heart fluttered as her hand brushed over his arousal. Silas cupped her butt, lifting her to his thighs. She grinded lightly against him, her body already warming with desire.  But he … Read more
