Chapter 91: Mind The Business That Pays You
The office building was quiet as Ivy stepped out into the evening air. The sun had dipped below the horizon, leaving behind a cool breeze that tousled her neatly pinned hair.
She exhaled, feeling the tension of a long day begin to ease as she approached her car.

Hunter straightened, his expression betraying a flicker of unease before he forced a lopsided grin. "I was waiting for you."
Ivy's eyebrows shot up. "Waiting for me?" she echoed, folding her arms across her chest. "I don't recall asking you to wait up for me."
