Fixed At Her Teen

Chapter 14

Dave's POV

I had made my mind up and I wasn't gonna go back.

This is for the best.

I thought as I drove to the Thompson's mansion.

I hope it goes well.

Ivy's POV

"...that's what we agreed on" I spoke to Luke on the phone as I lay on my bed

"But what if he changes his mind?" Luke asked

My brows creased
"What are you getting at, Luke?" I asked "Dad agreed that I'd take over Thompson's Publishing after I graduate. It's time now"

I heard him sigh
"Are you sure he still feels the same?" He asked "I mean c'mon, you were what...twelve, when you wanted that." He paused

I sighed

"All I'm saying is don't be disappointed when he tells you 'No'. Just handle it like the strong girl I know you are and work there either way and earn your way to the top. He won't deny you C.E.O. then....he'll even beg you to take it"

I giggled at that.
"You have a way with words Mr. Graham" I said, smiling

"Duh. Why do you think they loved my valedictorian speech?" He asked

I groaned as I rolled on the bed
"Not this again Luke" I begged

"I'm serious..." he began But I ended the cal before he could go any further

I smiled to myself, shaking my head at how he makes me laugh. I sobered up when I thought of what he said.

Surely dad knew I was serious when untold him I wanted to be C.E.O. of Thompson's Publishing. He was he one who said I will be after I graduated. So what could go wrong?

Dad always came through for us. Why would now be any different?

I was gonna be C.E.O of Thompson's Publishing soon.

But I think I liked Luke's idea of earning my way to the top than getting there just by connection. I didn't want to be known as the boss' daughter. I wanted to be known as Ivy.

Ivy Thompson the C.E.O. of Thompson's Publishing and not Ceaser Thompson's daughter, C.E.O. of Thompson's Publishing.

Either way. I was gonna earn it. C.E.O. or not.

The knock on my door broke me out of my reverie.

"Come in" I called

"Honey" mum called after she opened the door. "Your dad and I want to see you in his office"

I sat up
"Any problem?" I asked

She just looked at me and sighed
"Come downstairs honey"

Oh-Kay?!

Weird.

"Coming" I said as I stood from he bed and slipped my foot into my flats

Mum and I went downstairs

"Mum, what's the matter?" I asked

"You'll have to find out from your dad" she said

We walked into dad's office

"Dad?" I called when I entered his office.

He looked up at me from his chair, behind the desk.

"You called for me" I said as mum went to stand behind him.
