"What can I do to finally have Adrian within my grip?" Emma said to Julie and Claire, pacing the house.
"Probably drug him and take advantage of the situation" Claire suggested
"Nope, I think that's way extreme. Just invite him over and then play your cards right" Julie said
Emma smiled at her friends suggestions and then texted Adrian
"Let's meet up as soon as you return at my place "
**Adrian arrived back in the country and asked the driver to take him home directly but on their way,there was a heavy traffic so they took a shorter route.
But there was also a commotion at the front.
"I don't think this commotion would get resolved soon, why don't we rest a bit at that park?" The driver asked him
Turning his head to where the driver was pointing to, Adrian frowned deeply. It was the same park Ivy was supposed to be working.
"I think I should go and see things myself " he thought and immediately he came down from the car,his phone dropped down from his pocket and it was then Emma's message entered.
Adrian stood shocked as he saw Ivy , she was happy and full of life.
"She's actually enjoying doing this?" He thought as she was handing out the drinks with a smile.
"Boss Adrian" Ivy shouted happily as she saw him. "I just knew he liked me" she thought as she ran to him. " How come you are here, boss?'
"There's a commotion on the road, that's why I'm here"
Ivy wasn't buying it but she just nodded in agreement.
"Take some of these and sell them Boss" she said, handing some drinks to him
"What do you mean? I'm the Boss, I can't….."
"Boss, just look at those girls tripping over you, they'd rush the drink and we'd make more money. Smart moves " she said
"Do you know who I am, Miss Montes?"
"You are Boss Adrian Wintershall and it's all the more reason you sell the drinks yourself. Don't worry, I'd add that you also sold drinks in my report "
Adrian looked at the crazy girl in front of him and before he could protest more, Ivy had dropped three bottles on his folded arms and ran off.
"I….." Adrian's words were cut short as girls from all angle rushed at him trying to buy the drinks.
"Ivy! Help!!" He shouted but Ivy was out of sight.
"Okay! Okay!!" He breathed out in frustration. "Those with the highest bid would get the juice from me" he said as the girls shouted in excitement and started bidding. Ivy smiled at the turn of events and even brought more juice to his stand.

"We made a lot of money today" Ivy said smiling
"I can't believe I did that with you" Adrian whined as Ivy smiled
"Here's what we earned and this is my tip, I got this from my regular clients so I'd be taking this and I'd remit what we've earned tomorrow"
"Yeah. I'd be leaving now" he bidded goodbye when Ivy rushed and held him by the elbow.
"Uhm, Boss Adrian, please can I ride with you? " She pleaded
"What??"
"Uhm, there's going to be a snowstorm in some minutes and it's quite late to book a ride" she said, pointing her phone to his face.
"Please..." she kept begging.
"Fine,hop in"
"Ahhh, thank you so much Boss Adrian" she screamed happily and jumped on him before she stiffened
"I'm sorry Boss"
Luckily,the driver left the car at the park and gave the guards the key.
The ride to Ivy's house was quite fast,though she fell asleep during the journey and Adrian would occasionally stop roughly just to wake her up but she didn't bulge.
"Such a deep sleeper" he scoffed
He got to the address Ivy gave and pressed on the horn.
"Wake up, Miss Montes" he said tapping her shoulders but Ivy only turned to sit comfortably
"Ivy,get up else I'd be trapped in the oncoming storm" he shouted and Ivy jumped up.
"I'm sorry Boss and thank you so much" Ivy said with a smile as she came down from his car.
Adrian watched her as she was moving away from his car and just as he was about driving out, he saw her run in extreme fear. He parked his car to see what was chasing her then he saw a familiar face- it was the same man who was chasing her at the hotel
He quietly got down from the car and went in the same direction as Ivy.
"Gosh, how did he find me here?" Ivy kept thinking as she was shivering and hiding behind a car.
She jumped in fear and almost screamed as she felt someone was behind her, luckily Adrian covered her mouth and immediately the Big boss and his men drove out of the building.
Ivy was visibly shocked as she watched the big boss drive away.
"He's the same guy right? The one from the hotel?" Adrian asked as Ivy nodded. "What's your apartment number? Let me take you home"
Ivy led Adrian to her block and they were welcomed by a worried Flynn who has been trying to contact her since
"Thank goodness you're back unhurt, I thought the big boss caught you already " Flynn said as she hugged Ivy tightly.
"He almost caught me girlfriend, I was so scared "
"He already knows this place, definitely he would be back " Adrian said
"He didn't get our exact apartment block though " Flynn opposed
"If he could find the house,he would find the apartment " Ivy said already crying. "What should we do Flynn???"
"Relocating is not an option, we can't keep running cause he would always find us " Flynn pointed out.
"I think fate is playing the cards in my favour " Adrian thought to himself. "If I can offer my help based on my terms, I'm sure they'll jump at it"
"I can help you " Adrian finally said.
"Huh?"
"How?" The girls asked surprised
"Let's get married, Ivy "
