Six years later

"Miss Ivrine, the sales have massively boosted and the company is taking over all those regions, praises are flooding in left and right!" One of the staff pointed out.

"So nothing new? We've been on top of the chain for months in a row." Ivy said without interest.

"Don't you have any new ideas, I want all the stocks, everything."

"We are already ruling seventy percent of the global market," her sales representative said.

"I want that number at one hundred!" She said.

Her staff who feared her stayed quiet.

She rolled her eyes and got to her feet, "alright get back to work."

They all bowed their heads slightly in respect as she walked out of the meeting.

Her personal assistant, Avril walked up to her side as everyone went back to their offices, "you're such a hard shell CEO," she broke out laughing.

"If you don't show them you're in power they will take advantage of your kindness."

Avril sighed, "you used to be more jovial, it's all because of that bastard Do..." She trailed off at Ivy's glare.

"Don't ever dare mention his name in my presence."

"Yes ma'am," Avril burst out laughing. She was the only one that knew the true character of her best friend.

Ivy had become the CEO of a huge media enterprise and owned multiple business sources as well ranging from beverages to fashion. Her company Dalton Enterprise was a worldwide phenomenon.

"Is my schedule cleared for the day? I'm off to pick Dalton."

"No, there's a meeting with a company called Mil Beverages."

"Reschedule it to another time," Ivy frowned, "you know I don't like having anyone picking my son up from school."

"That might be hard to do," Avril said.

"Then cancel the meeting and tell them I'm not interested at all."

"No, they have been trying to reach out to us multiple times but they've not been successful, it seems their CEO had to come down here himself so it must be really important."

Avril informed her.

Ivy sighed and rolled her eyes, "how many minutes is this supposed to take?"

"We'll make it as fast as possible."

"What do they want?" Ivy frowned.

"All other beverages have lost their stock market since our brand has taken over, they've been experiencing a lot of loss so they want to come to a negotiation with us."

"So? Many other brands have faced the same fate, what makes them special?"

"Let's just give them the audience."

"Fine," Ivy rolled her eyes, "I'll call Dalton to let him know I'm coming late, it better be worth it."

"Oh also one more thing," Avril smirked.

Ivy frowned, already knowing where this was headed.

"You have that date with John Simone tonight."

"I've told you Avril, I'm not ready to date anyone yet."

"Yet? It's been six years, you can't know unless you try, just go, please, it's already been scheduled."

"Fine," she sighed, "I hate you."

"I love you too, I'll see you later."

She went into her grand office in her huge skyscraper building.

It was filled with the most luxurious furniture to ever exist.

She dialed her son's school.

"Mommy!" His cheery voice called on the other end.

Her stone heart always melted when she heard her baby's voice.

"Hi sweetie!"

"Mommy where are you?"

"I'm coming baby, I just need to get a few things done."

"Okay, hurry I miss you already."

She hated the fact that she was going to be late even more.

"I miss you too baby, I'll be there in thirty minutes."

"Okay mommy, I love you."

"I love you too."

She hung up and went to the meeting room where the CEO was.

She furrowed her eyebrows when she walked in and saw the man standing with his hands pocketed, his back to her as he adored the view of the city around him.

"You have ten minutes to impress me," she frowned, folding her arms across her chest.

"Wow, you're just as hard as I've heard..." He chuckled.

Her face dropped, that voice was all too familiar.

He turned around to look at her, "it's finally nice to meet you."

He froze in place and so did she.

What on earth was he doing here?

The voice belonged to the man she thought she would never have to meet again in her life.

"Dominic Harding?"
