A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

Chapter 136: Cole Scott; Lahor Bar.

"Sir, your father wants to see you."

Cole lifted his head from the file on his table. "Thanks," he told the maid and waited till she left before returning to the file. He groaned, cranking his neck as he dropped the pen. He was working on something and couldn't wait to tell his father. Although he wished he would have gotten somewhere tangible enough before going to meet his dad.

Cole stood up, packed the file with him and glanced at his wristwatch.

"30 minutes more," he said out loud.

He was hanging out with friends at the Lahor bar by 8pm as usual, and couldn't

wait to drink and chill out. This whole week had been hectic as usual.

Cole left his office and proceeded to his dad's office. He knocked on the door and waited.

"Come in," Patrick said and Cole entered.

"Good evening, dad," Cole greeted as he took a seat opposite Patrick's table.

"You won't believe Ivy walked out on me," Patrick said, his voice tinged with annoyance.

"Ivy?" Cole asked, confused. "Did she come here?"

"No," Patrick snapped, looking at Cole sharply. "She... we-that's not the point. She didn't want to talk, didn't even bother listening."

Cole looked away, unsure of what to say. Ivy was definitely right not to listen, but he couldn't say that.

"She wouldn't help us!" Patrick groaned, slamming the table.

"What do we need her help for again?" Cole asked softly.

Honestly he was confused, he had no idea when his father switched sides. He already disowned Ivy, so what changed? "The business. I wanted her to work with us,” Patrick answered. "You know, take pictures. We could really use her fame to take our restaurants to higher heights. I'm just angry she refused."

"Well, I hate to state the obvious, but-"

Patrick scowled at him. "Then don't."

Cole sighed. There were still a lot of things that he didn't understand, but he was willing to let it pass.

"I don't understand why you're looking like that," Patrick said angrily and Cole sat upright, fixing his confused face." Anyways, I didn't call you to say whatever, I need your help."

Cole arched his brow. "Alright, with what?"

"Find a way to have Ivy help us," Patrick said firmly, and Cole could tell it wasn't a request, it was an order.

He looked at his father, his confusion deepening. "I don't understand, Dad."

"What is there not to understand?" Patrick sounded irritated. "Call your sister and have her help us."

If someone told him his father would say this, Cole wouldn't believe it. Some weeks back, he had bundled Ivy out of the house on Patrick's order and now he wants Cole to convince Ivy?

Something wasn't right here.

"Tell her we need her on either Monday or Thursday. That's when the restaurant here is always less busy, Patrick said and already returned to whatever he was doing.

Cole got the message and stood up. "Alright sir."

"Is this what you've been working on?" Patrick asked, pointing to the file Cole had brought with him.
