"She's in

in charge?" Ivy asked, freeing herself from Silas's embrace, her brow furrowing

"Yes, Rosie is one of the best stylists in the country," Silas said, his voice brimming with pride.

"How are you, Ivy? You seem surprised to see me," Rosie said, her eyes scanning Ivy with derision

Ivy's cheeks colored slightly. "I didn't know you were in charge.

"Oh. Silas is like that. He loves surprises," Rosie said, flashing Silas a smile.

Silas chuckled, pulling Ivy close again. "When do we begin?" he asked Rosie.

"It's straight to work." Rosie replied, adjusting her pl

plaid skirt. “Il call the team to attend to you while I take your wife"

Rosie pulled Ivy away from Silas, her grip a little too rough. Ivy immediately yanked her hand free.

Silas seemed oblivious to the tension. "Alright, I'm sure you'll do a great job, Rosie."

JOh, I will," Rosie said with a smile that Ivy didn't trust, a sparkle of mischief in her eyes. "Let's go, Ivy."

"Ill see you soon. Silas said, his voice resonating in the room.

Despite Rosie's mean looks, Silas made Ivy blush as she nodded, following Rosie out of the room.

When they got to the hallway, Rosie suddenly pulled Ivy aside, pinning her against the wall.

"I can't believe you're still on with the marriage!" Rosie snarled, her eyes blazing with anger.

Ivy froze for a moment but quickly composed herself, pulling herself away from Rosie. However, Rosie was surprisingly strong.

"I warned you about what to expect!" Rosie snapped.

Finding her strength, Ivy pushed Rosie away, startling her. "And I told you I didn't care!" Ivy shot back, breathing heavily from anger. "What's your problem with my marriage to Silas?"

"You don't belong here! You don't belong in our family!" Rosie hissed through gritted teeth.

The words stung, but Ivy refused to show it. "Who made you the judge of that? You have no right to interfere in my marriage. I am here to stay, Rosie!"

Rosie raised her hand as if to strike Ivy, but the hallway door opened, and two ladies walked in.

"Rosie, we're ready," one of the ladies said.

Ivy watched as Rosie immediately composed herself, her countenance changed. "Sure," Rosie said, a smile plastered on her face.

Ivy, still seething, attempted a smile but failed.
