Chapter 116: Shattered Glasses, A Broken Heart.

"What the hell?!" Silas shrieked as he got out of the car, anger shining in his hazel eyes. "Who did this?"

Ivy hugged herself, trying not to cry.

Shattered glasses lay on the floor, broken like her heart.

The writing on the wall was all in different ugly colours.

Cunt.

Bitch.

Drunk Bitch.

These words felt personal, yet she didn't want to believe they were.

Who could have done this? One name came to mind, but Ivy pushed it aside. She didn't want to believe that even Mason could do such a thing.

"The door is still locked," Bud said, approaching her, "but I need the keys to check if everything is intact, ma'am."

Her heart pounded at Bud's statement but she steadied herself. "It's in my bag," she said pointing to the car.

She turned to the building, pain floating in her chest.

"Ivy?"

She turned to Silas's soft voice. "What?"

"I said I've called the police, they'll be on their way," Silas said, moving closer to her.

"Oh."

He pulled her closer and she melted into him. For a second, the pain disappeared.

"Everything is intact, ma'am," Bud said, panting like he had been running.

Ivy straightened up and nodded gratefully at him. She didn't even know how to process this feeling.

"Maybe you should send out messages to the candidates and postpone the interview?" Silas suggested.

"No," she answered.

This was what Mason-or whoever-wanted. She couldn't let them win. She had waited and worked so hard to get here. Nobody would snatch this from her.

"The interview would go on as planned," she said, her voice sharper this time. Silas gave her a small nod. "Let me call Tim New to come fix all this."

She nodded as she watched him walk away. She sighed, determination coursing through her alongside the pain. She walked closer to examine the writings. Rat girl.
