Chapter 111: Her Company.

Ivy's heart fluttered as she stepped into her company. Though there were still a couple of workers around, they were nearly done.

"Mrs Stone." Tim walked over to her, his mouth curved into a smile. "What do you think?" he asked, pride welling in his voice.

"Oh my," Ivy gasped, her heart leaping with joy. "It's... beautiful."

"I am so glad you like it," Tim said with a smile.

"I love it!" she cheered. "Thank you so much," she said, walking up to him and stretching her hand.

Tim shook her hand, his smile broadened. "You're welcome, ma'am."

Ivy nodded, unable to stop herself from smiling. Her building was beautiful. It was painted in white, with an elegant green ceiling that transformed the place.

Her reception area was perfect, with a new window that brightened up the place. She could already imagine guests being attending to here, with a cute receptionist smiling at them.

"We should be done in an hour or less," Tim said. "Sorry for the delay. I'll call you when we're done, ma'am."

"Oh no. Take your time," she replied with a smile. "I'll go grab breakfast and get out of your hair."

"Thank you, ma'am," Tim smiled.

Ivy waved and stole a quick glance around before stepping out. Her heart was pounding with so much excitement that she could almost feel it leaping out of her chest.

She got into the car, where Bud was waiting.

"How is it, ma'am?" Bud asked.

"Oh, Bud. It's beautiful!" Ivy exclaimed, sinking into the seat.

"Congratulations, ma'am," Bud said and Ivy saw a small smile on his lips.

"Thank you," she said gratefully. "Though they are not really done."

"Oh nice," Bud said softly. "Do we wait until they finish?"

"No, let's go grab breakfast," she told him. "Should we go to that restaurant where we had burgers?"

"Oh yeah!" Bud said cheerfully. It was the first time she had heard him use that tone.
