Ivy's POV

"What's going on?" I asked

They all stared at me, blank faces

"Munchkin" dad got up and came to hug me "Happy birthday"

"Thanks Dad" I hugged him back "Mum?"

She got up and smiled at me
"I've missed you" she hugged me

"Me too" I said, sighing

"Happy birthday, honey" she kissed my forehead.

"Thanks mum" I said "How's everyone?"

"They're fine" mum said

I nodded
"What's going on here?" I asked again

Dave was seated as well as his lawyer and the company's lawyer.

"Seat down, honey" mum said

I sat next to Dave who smiled at me. His lawyer next to him and the company's lawyer next to me. Dad and mum next to him.

"Mr Connor wants your signature on a very important document" the company's lawyer said

I looked at Dave and back at the company's lawyer.

"What document?" I asked, my heart racing

He wouldn't ask for a divorce, would he?

The lawyer shifted a document in front of me
"See for yourself, Mrs Connor" he said

I sighed and opened the document. Frowning as I read through.

"What the heck is this?" I looked at Dave, who just sat there looking at me

"Well, its a document stating that Mr Connor has given you full control of Thompson's Publishing. He's given up his seat as CEO and given it to you"

I stared at the lawyer, silent.
"That's bullshit" I said

"Honey, this is what you've always dreamed of" mum said "Dave came up with the idea weeks ago and wanted to surprise you today, being your birthday"

"All you have to do is sign it and its all yours" dad said, smiling

I stood up in a flash, pushing the chair back
"I don't want it!" I stated "This is outrageous"

They all stood up and stared at me.

I looked at Dave who looked confused and lost.
"What do you mean?" Dave spoke

"What the hell are you thinking?" I asked him, mad at him

"I was thinking of giving the company back to the rightful owner" he said

"Fuck you!" I said to him and left the conference room. But not before I saw Dave's surprised look.

I went to my office to get my bag before making my way out of the company.

"Mrs Connor!" Phil was surpsried to see me downstairs. "Where are you going?"

"It's fine Phil, I'll take a cab" I told him

"Mr. Connor won't be pleased with me" he said

"Tell him I refused to get in the car" I told him as I hailed down a cab

"Mrs Connor I can't let you go by yourself" he said

A cab stopped in front of me
"Well, too bad" I said getting into the cab and giving him the house address.

I got home, pissed.

So much for having fun on my birthday.

I went to the bedroom and stripped myself off every piece of clothing I had on. I went into the bathroom and drew myself a bath.
