Tension crackled around the table like overheated wires. Ivy, her eyes narrowed, drilled a hole into Bella across the table. How dare this bumpkin dine with them in this opulent restaurant?
If it were not for Theodore, such a woman couldn't dare lay a foot in a fancy restaurant like this.
The more she thought, the angrier she grew. Ivy's fists clenched beneath the table. To her, Bella was an opportunist, a gold-digger. She dumped Zack when she found a richer and more powerful man.
'Bitch,' she muttered inwardly.
However, she wasn't going to let her go so easily.
With a saccharine smile plastered on her face, Ivy addressed Bella. "How was your experience working with Mr. Reid?" she asked, maintaining a calm tone and not displaying her hostility. "Don't mind. I am just curious."
"It was nice."
