Chapter 142: Kim And Cole.

"It is yummy right?" Cheryl said, as she munched annoyingly on her granola ice

cream

"Yes," Kim replied with a fake smile, as she took a small bite of her own ice cream

They had been in the ice cream shop for almost an hour, and Cheryl had consumed four medium bowls of of sam

Kim was trying her best not to grimace at the way Cheryl was eating and how she babbled mindlessly

Kim clenched her spoon as she took another bite of her ice cream. "So, Chery, What's the plant

Cheryl looked up, her cheek stained with ice cream. "I talked to my fiance, but we still have no plans What do you the

Kim shifted in her chair, trying to hide her discomfort, the only advantage to this outing was that she wasn't responsible for the bills and Cheryl had given her money for her ride back to the hotel.

"Do you have a secret about Ivy that we can leak to the public? Kim asked.

The idea was brilliant! She not only gets to disgrace Ivy publicly, she gets to sell her discovery too.

Cheryl tilted her head, biting the plastic spoon. "Well, I know rich people have secrets, but it's tricky getting hy's family

secrets."

Kim's eyes widened as she dropped her spoon. "Wait-she's rich?"

"Yup," Cheryl answered, stirring her ice cream absentmindedly.

Kim hid a smirk. "Interesting."

"Her parents own a chain of restaurants, one time I got a lobster soup from them, it was spicy and

Kim pulled herself out of the conversation, her mind spiraling with plans of her own. Ivy was rich, which could only mean Cole was rich as well.

Her mind trailed off to Cole and how he had been awkward that night, but once

the alcohol hit, and he relaxed, he became even more fun.

"So, what do you think?" Cheryl's voice snapped her out of her thoughts. "About what?"

Cheryl frowned, scraping the bottom of her ice cream bowl. "About the suggestion I just made."

"Sorry," Kim said leaning into the chair. "I didn't get that."

"I said one time I leaked a rumor about Ivy being barren, but it didn't go viral. I think you should restart the rumor, that way, once we have a voice-please can I get another bowl?" Cheryl said, talking to the waitress who had just passed them. Kim groaned, annoyance racing inside her. This wasn't the meeting she was expecting and now that she had a plan in mind. she didn't want to waste time. She sprang to her feet, picking her bag. "I have to go."

Cheryl's brow lifted. "Why? We haven't even finished talking. We still have plans about-

"We'll do that another time," Kim interrupted her with a smile. "I'll call you. Bye, and thanks for the cash.*

She dashed out of the ice cream shop, her heart pounding with excitement as she called a cab to the hotel.

Just as she was about to sneak into the hotel's elevator, the manager came into the lobby.

"Hello ma'am," the bald man said, his voice stern and it frightened Kim a bit.

She turned, hiding her nervousness with a smile. "Hi."

He took a step closer to her, and her heart skipped a beat. "We still haven't received your payment. We have a strict-"

"Yes I know," Kim said, clutching her bag. "I will pay it today, I promise. My man is on his way."

The man cocked his head and gave her a skeptical look. "Ma'am, you've given you-*

"I know," she said, batting her eyelashes, hoping it would make him shut up. When she saw that it worked, she spoke more confidently. "Tonight, I promise."

"Alright ma'am," he said, and Kim could see the surrender in his eyes. "You are one of our reputable clients and I know you won't disappoint."

"I won't," she replied, turning towards the eleva.

Successfully unlocked!

Once she was inside the elevator, she sighed out loud. She knew the hotel was only this lenient because of her past with Silas, and she couldn't afford to be embarrassed now.

"Time to fix it," she said and brought out her phone. She dialed Cole's number and waited for him to pick up.

Chapter 142 Kim And Cole

Cole opened Geoffery's door and helped him to his bed. "Easy now."

"Thank you," Geoffery said as he gently sat on his bed.

"Are you good?" Cole asked, his voice low with concern.

"Yes," Geoffery said, adjusting on the bed.

His heart tugged with concern for Geoffrey, but when he remembered his father's part in everything, anger rose in his chest. He clenched his fist as he straightened up, trying his best not to make his anger visible. He placed a hand on his hip and smiled at Geoffrey. "Rest now. I will come check on you later."

Geoffrey pulled a cover over himself. "Thank you Cole."

Cole tousled his hair. "We'll talk later." Then he left the room.

When he got outside, Cole sighed, feeling the anger buildup in his chest again.

He didn't want to face his father so he went to his office.

It was when he entered that he realized his phone had been ringing. He ran to it and saw that Kim was calling.

"Hello Kim," he said, licking his lips.

"Hey," she said smoothly, her voice making his stomach turn to jelly. "What are you up to?"

"Nothing," he answered. "Just here."
