Chapter 60: Ended Business.

"What the hell? How is that possible?" Silas asked, his voice high with shock.

"I don't know, but that bastard has Sonia now," Thomas said, pacing.

Ivy watched as Thomas grunted, moving back and forth. She stood in silence, wondering who Sonia Raj was, and what Mason had to do with her.

"How did you even find out?" Silas pressed, stepping closer.

Thomas moved to his desk and poured himself a glass of something. Ivy guessed

it was either vodka or whiskey, "I saw the announcement this morning," he muttered before downing his drink.

"Damn. That's crazy," Silas said, tapping his forehead.

"Hey, Ivy," Thomas greeted as if he was just seeing her. "How are you doing?"

"Good. Good," she replied swiftly, taken off guard.

"Sorry about that," Thomas apologized. "Please, have your seat," he gestured.

Ivy nodded and sat on one of the chairs opposite him. Silas took the one close to her.

"So, what are you doing about it? Have you spoken to Uncle Mike?" Silas asked, leaning forward.

"I've already called him and Wade. He says he would reach out to her. Wade is drafting some important documents to convince her," Thomas explained, his jaw tightening.

"That's so unlike Sonia, Silas said.

Thomas sighed. "After that... release, she never got back to us so we could fix the problem. I thought she was just angry, and needed time. Guess I was wrong."

Ivy still had no idea what they were talking about, but she listened with intent.

"She-" Thomas was interrupted by a ding from his laptop. He opened it, tapped on the keyboard, read in silence, before grunting again.

"What's up?" Silas asked, alarmed.

"Sonia's team just officially ended business with me," Thomas said, burying his face in his palms.

"You have to talk to her," Silas urged. "You can't just accept that.'

"It's done, Si," Thomas exhaled. "It's official."

"That's crazy," Silas muttered.
