Chapter 9
"Welcome to our store! It's so lovely having you here," Winnie said, hugging Cheryl.
Of all the people Ivy could have met, it was Cheryl-the betrayer. Ivy froze, completely shocked by how Winnie had ignored her.
Cheryl walked up to the receptionist table, her hands on her bulging stomach. Thank you," she said, then turned to Ivy, her mouth contorting. "Ivy? What are you doing here?
Ivy bit her lip. "I came here to shop."
"There's a Goodwill just across the street. I'm sure they'll have something for you, dear," Winnie said, her tone humiliating.
Cheryl laughed loudly.
Ivy felt her face redden with embarrassment. "It's Ivy, Winnie," she said firmly, brushing a strand of hair from her face, making sure Winnie could see her- despite the hideous gown she wore.
"Oh, Ivy." Winnie said, placing a hand on her chest, feigning surprise. "Would you like security to help you out?"
Laughter filled the room, and Ivy's heart broke. Despite the sadness in her chest, she refused to cower. "It's funny how you've forgotten about me," she said, holding a wobbly smile. "Remember when you used to beg me to shop here so you wouldn't run out of customers! How time flies."
Winnie gasped but quickly recovered. "That was when you were Mrs. Hunter. Now... she rubbed her hand on Cheryl's shoulder. "There's someone else I cater to."
Ivy's eyes burned with anger, as she scanned Cheryl all over. "A betrayer you mean?"
"How dare you!" Cheryl yelled, raising her hand to hit Ivy, but Winnie stopped her.
"That won't be necessary, Mrs. Hunter, Winnie said coolly.
"I guess the truth hurts, doesn't it?" Ivy laughed bitterly,
Cheryl scoffed, adjusting her clothes, "How was the truth like when Aunt May found out you were fired?"
Ivy gasped.
"I bet she was sad to see her little girl lost," Cheryl smirked, eyes gleaming with malice. "I wonder what's next for you."
"That's none of your business, but I sure wouldn't be stealing another woman's man," Ivy snapped.
"You can only steal what belongs to someone," Cheryl said, folding her arms, her diamond ring glinting in the light. "Maso
