"What do you think of this, ma'am?" Jade asked, gesturing to the new gate,

Even though it looked solid, Ivy still couldn't get over the fact that Rosie had destroyed the old one.

She didn't even want to imagine what her company would have been like if Rosie had successfully gotten in. Judging by Uncle Mike and Andrew, it could only be nothing but chaos.

A chill ran down her spine and she shuddered.

"Are you alright, ma'am?" Jade asked softly.

"Yes," Ivy smiled and turned to the gate. "It's nice."

There wasn't much to admire about it, but then again, solid gates came

in weird designs.

"Let me see others," she said, walking inside.

The morning breeze damped her face, and gratitude surged inside as she stepped into her company.

Hers.

Her heart swelled further when her staff gathered and greeted her.

"I'm glad to see all your beautiful faces. I hope everything is fine?" she asked, her face lighting up.

They murmured their affirmatives.

She turned to Jade. "Get me the reports from the past few days. Let me have a look.” She turned back to the staff. “Enjoy yourselves, guys. I'll come tomorrow as well." Then she headed toward her office.

Emotions tugged at Ivy's heart as she entered her clean, airy office. It filled up a space she hadn't realized was empty.

She walked to the window and exhaled, taking in all of San Francisco's beauty.

A knock on the door interrupted her moment and she turned. "Come in."

Jade entered, holding a file. "I haven't input it in the... system, ma'am. But I will." "It's okay," Ivy said, taking the file from her. She perched on the edge of her desk and went through it. Just as she began, her phone rang.

Jade rushed to it and handed it over.

"Thanks," Ivy said. Theresa was calling, and she answered, "Hey T. How-❞

"I need you here, Ivy." The urgency in Theresa's tone made Ivy stand up.

"Where?"

"Jackville Hospital. There's another entrance, reporters are packed outside the main one," Theresa replied. "I've called Silas too. See you, love." She hung up. "Is... everything alright, ma'am?" Jade asked, her face turning red as usual.

"Yes, yes," she replied, and gave her the file. "Input in the system, I'll check it when I'm free. Thanks."
