Joshua looked at his watch the seventh time in the last ten minutes. It had been fifteen minutes past the scheduled time, yet there was no sign of the person he was meeting. He was waiting for Ivy in his office room, for almost an hour, though they had agreed to meet at the time ten minutes prior to the current time.
After her meeting with Valarie, Ivy had made a call to Joshua asking him to meet her. He had agreed at once, shifting all his work to the next day. He had informed Ivy to meet him at his office, which she had complied with.
Actually, Ivy had arrived a few minutes before the scheduled time. However, she had to wait at the lounge to get Joshua's permission to let her inside the office.
Joshua's secretary, Lucia, knocked at the door and waited for Joshua to allow her to enter in.
"Come in." Joshua's deep voice resonated, sending her heart into turmoil.
