    "No, I didn''t check she replied, shaking her head. I haven''t been with my phone. What was it about?


    Ss sighed. "I fired Rachel"


    Stunned, Ivy stood up from the bed. "What? Why?"


    "Do you really want to hear it?" he chuckled, but she could tell it wasn''t a happy


    one


    "What happened?" she asked, curiosity building up in her chest.


    "She tried to seduce me Ss said "I rejected her, of course, but I''m still baffled by

    Ivy raised her brow in confusion, her cheeks turning crimson. thought you already slept with her


    As she uttered that out loud, her chest clenched with pain as she remembered overhearing Debbie and Rachel''s conversation that interview day


    "What?" Ss was stunned. "Why would you think that? Why would I do such a thing?"


    Her bluch deepened. "I don''t know she shrugged. "I overheard her saying that with her friends"


    "And you didn''t tell me?" His voice rose


    "We weren''t close that time," she admitted.


    He paused and then nodded. "Sorry. It''s just my. I''m just surprised. I never showed her any sign that I was into her" Her heart softened at his apology and the realization that he hadn''t slept with Rachel "Maybe she found it hard to res your charm?" she teased.


    Ssughed. "Oh no, please. I tried to keep it as professional as possible."


    "I know," she smiled, returning to sit on the bed. "So she''s gone now?"


    "Yes," he said, "Fired"


    "Well, in that case, I do hope you find someone better than her" she said,

    still got butterflies in her belly


    "Why?" she asked


    He brought her to her feet and wrapped his hand around her waist. "I think I''m in love with you, Ivy


    Her breath hitched. No, that wasn''t right. She most likely heard wrong


    "It''s not even the sex," he continued. "It''s the joy you give me, thepletion. I


    have never felt happier, morefortable with anyone else"


    She pulled away from him, her stomach twisting with shock and confusion "No,"

    Before she could finish, the door opened and Kim walked in.


    Ss turned, a frown on his face "What are you doing here, Kim?"


    "I was looking all over for you," Kim replied as she limped


    Ivy''s eyes widened. Even in the dimly lit room, Kim still looked horrible


    "What for?" Ss asked impatiently


    "I can''t sleep without you, Ss. Your room has always been too big and scary, Kim said.


    Ivy frowned, and the pity she felt for Kim turned into annoyance for a second. "As you can see I have a wife," Ss said, unting his ring.


    Kim limped closer again. "Oh, Ss. I''m sure your wife wouldn''t mind you staying away for just a night. I needpany" "Find a maid, let themy down with you, Ss said, gesturing


    "Excuse me," Ivy said, walking away and going to her closet. She wasn''t going to just stand there and watch both of them banter in her presence


    She bit her lip as she sat in front of her mirror. Ss said he loved her, yet he had


    his ex under the same roof.


    It was the sex, she concluded, the sex was making him think that.


    "Ivy?" Ss called. "Pleasee out, she has already left."


    Ivy sighed as she went back to the room. Her eyesnded on the table and she noticed that the flowers were gone.


    "Sorry I didn''t lock the door," he apologized and then his eyes followed hers to the table. "She took the flowers, and I didn''t want to argue with her. Don''t worry I''ll get you a bigger one."


    Of course. For a man who just professed his love, his actions were stupid.


    She was hurt and she didn''t want him to know that. Tm going to take my bath," she said, moving to the bathroom.


    She saw the look in Ss''s eyes but ignored it as she entered the bathroom. She didn''t want to think about anything so she took a quick shower and dressed in the closet.


    "Ivy," Ss said softly.


    But she ignored him again andid on the far end of the bed. For the first time since Ss had moved into her room, she fell asleep without his touch,


    The next morning, Ivy quickly got out of bed, determined to bury herself in work all day. Ss was sleeping soundly beside her, and before her body reacted to his cute face, she quickly took her bath, dressed and went downstairs for breakfast.


    As she entered the dining room, she was shocked to see arge bowl of pasta and meatballs on the table, with Kim setting the ce.


    "Oh, it''s you," Kim said, not hiding her disappointment. "I thought it was Ss. Where is he?"


    Ivy ignored her question as she moved closer. "What is this?" she asked, genuinely concerned.


    "Food, Kim hissed. ''I made breakfast for Ss, as you can see"


    Ivy''s stomach twisted. What was this? What sort of game was Kim ying?


    "But why?" Ivy asked, her voice slightly shaking. “He has his cook."


    "Because" Kim sneered. "I am here to take my man back, Ivy. This is his favorite food."
