510 Words
This company was huge and a top performing company in Los Angeles. If they showcased Ivy's design along side their bags, Ivy was sure to become even more famous with her designs than she already was. She had been working perfectly, her designs were one of a kind, and even Ryder knew this. This particular company had involved them in their proposal because of Ivy's past work. "Looks like a new contract.." Larisa muttered. "Yes Lar, a huge one.." She muttered, and urged Larisa to get back to work. She began going through the papers she'd need to make this a success. Larisa never played with anything that had to do with her job, and if she was going to leave Ryder, she'd still do her job perfectly till the day she leaves. ----------- Hours later, Ryder returned to the company, with his handbag still by his side. Ivy balled her fist tightly. This lady was not going to give her husband even a moment to breath. She watched as they got into his office. She seethed with anger. Grabbing a file from her desk, she left to Ryder's office. The both sat on Ryder's office couch, Ivy's eyes on Sheila, she had a smug look on her face which swiftly turned into a fake smile. When she got to where Ryder sat, she stood in front of him. "Ryder?" Ivy called, her tone flat and accusatory. He raised his head, his eyes looking up at her. "Yea.. did you see the mail I sent you, that's what you'll be working on for now, it's very good especially for you, it will give you more exposure and also benefits the company." Ryder muttered thinking Ivy would be impressed. Instead, she had a disappointed look on her face. "Where did you two go?" She suddenly blurted, she couldn't take it anymore, after all Ryder was her husband. "Ow.. sorry Ivy, I took him without informing you, I'm so sorry please don't get mad at him." Sheila defended with that fake smile on her face, sarcasm dripping in her voice. Ivy's jaw clenched as anger fumed inside of her, she wasn't even talking to her, so why wouldn't she let Ryder reply to her? Sorry but I need Ryder to talk to me himself." Ivy muttered, her face hard now, she was tired of pretending, she wasn't doing okay, she had been sad and heartbroken and she wasn't going to hide it anymore. "Ryder I'm talking to you.." Ivy muttered, her eyes on Ryder. But Sheila wasn't ready to back down, to let her have conversations with her husband. "It's just some business he's helping me take care of, can you not get mad at him please?" Ivy bit her lower lips, brushing her hair backward. "Tell her Ryder, explain yourself, don't allow her to get mad at you, she's your wife." Sheila intervened. Ivy scoffed, her jaw clenched. "It's the truth Ivy, stop making a big deal out of this, don't create a scene over nothing, now get back to work."
