Before she could go deeper into her sleep, her phone began ringing.
She sprung up immediately, looking at her surrounding.
Then it dawned on her, the pregnancy was taking it course on her now.
If she wasn't careful, many people would find out soon.
She stood up, she must remain strong now. This was a crucial moment of her life and she must try hard to not let it weigh down on her.
She picked up the call immediately.
"Lar.." She muttered, her voice husky, she cleared her throat.
"Ivy where are you?" Larisa asked, concern in her voice.
"I'm coming now.." She muttered arranging herself to leave.
She put her hair together and then she was ready.
She swiftly came out of Ryder's office and dashed off in large stride.
As soon as she got into her office, Larisa followed her up.
Everyone had seen Sheila when she got into the company earlier, and that had been the talk of the office.
Larisa had been looking for Ivy but had no idea where she had gone.
"Lar.." Ivy called as she entered.
Larisa saying no other words, engulfed her in a hug.
"I'm so sorry for what's going on Ivy, I mean why is Ryder letting her come here and why are the both going around as if they are still together?" Larisa lamented, she was seething with anger.
"Where have you been?" Larisa asked, her eyes on Ivy.
"Was at Ryder's office."
Larisa's forehead creased, "You mean Sheila met you there?" Ivy nodded. This added more to her confusion.
"If she met you there busy with your husband, why did they left together?" Larisa questioned.
"Lar I don't know what has come over Ryder, he didn't even bother to tell me where they were going, she stays at the front while he walked behind her, leaving me there as if I was nothing." Ivy muttered, her voice shaky, she didn't know she was this pained until she said it out.
"I'm truly sorry Ivy, what are you going to do now?." Larisa muttered, her eyes inquisitive.
Ivy stayed quiet for sometime, Ryder was never over his ex before he married her, showing her nothing but fake love all this while, as soon as his ex returned, he didn't even hesitate to shove her aside. If that was the case, then she'd give them their space.
She would divorce Ryder, and leave with her pregnancy. With her thoughts going haywire, her hand unconsciously went down to her stomach.
Larisa looked at her closely, she knew she had gone far in thoughts.
"Ivy?" Larisa called, her voice soft.
"I'm pregnant." Ivy suddenly muttered, her eyes still faraway.
Larisa's eyes opened wide, this was a great news, she felt happy in her heart for once since today.
"Have you told Mr CEO about it yet?" Larisa asked, her eyes sparkling.
"No I'm not telling him." She muttered, frown suddenly settled on Larisa's forehead.
"Why? He's the father and I think you should let him know, right?"
"I don't think Ryder is fit to be the father of my baby or my husband anymore."
Larisa's face became sullen, she knew what she meant, Ryder had neglected her and going around with his ex since she returned, which woman wouldn't feel good about it?
"But I still think you should talk to him, maybe you should also tell him to stop going around with Sheila, he might listen to you, you're his wife."
Ivy remained quite, he already promised her he wouldn't repeat those mistakes again, yet just after five minutes, he did it again, even worst, in her presence.
Ivy was going to give Ryder the space he needed to be with his ex.
Just as they were still deep into their conversation, her phone beeped.
It was an email. She picked-up her phone and saw it was from Ryder.
Why was he sending her a mail? She opened it to check.
Her brows raised as she goes through it. A contract proposal.
In the email, it was stated that the top bag making company were about to launch new designs. They needed Ryder's company to design wears that would stand out with their bags.
