"What the hell?" Ivy muttered as the car stopped in front of her company.

It was bad enough that Aaliyah had made the announcement before any work had begun, and worse that it was Mason who told her.

But now, seeing reporters lurking outside her building made her stomach tighten.

"What do I do, ma'am?" Jonathan asked.

And in that moment, she knew she had messed up. Bud would never have asked such a question.

“Just ignore them. Drive straight inside,” she replied, keeping the anxiety away from her voice.

But Jonathan was driving too slow. He didn't have the assertiveness that Bud had in tense situations like this.

He was being extremely cautious and even lowered his window. Big mistake.

"Get off the way!" he yelled.

Panic surged inside Ivy. "Roll your window up!"

But it was too late. Reporters had stretched their microphones through the small opening, shouting over each other,

"Ms Stone, tell us about your sister in-law, Rosie."

"How are you holding up now that your ex-husband is out on bail?"

"Fuck off!" she snapped as Jonathan hurriedly rolled up his window.

Two microphones fell into the car, and their owners slapped the window in a frenzy, gesturing for her to lower it again.

Anger flared in her chest, not just because of the madness, but because none of them had asked about Aaliyah's photoshoot.

With the help of several of her company security guards, Jonathan eventually made it past the gate. Ivy sighed with relief, stepping out of the car.

"Toss those microphones out, please," she instructed.

Ignoring the racket from the reporters behind her, she walked in,

Aaliyah was at the reception area and she rose as Ivy entered. "Ivy..." Her voice was low, apologetic.

"How could you?" Ivy said, frowning. "You made a public announcement without informing me. That was unfair."

Aaliyah stepped closer. "I know, and I'm sorry. I... was in a tight spot. Bailey wouldn't talk to me, and I needed... to let her know I meant it."

Ivy sighed, softening up. "I'm sorry to hear that, but I still needed a heads-up." "Yeah, Sorry," Aaliyah said. "Are we good?"

"Yes, we are," Ivy answered. "Let me get everything ready. You're free to stay here or come to my office before we start."

"Your office is fine."

"Alright. Let's go."

Ivy led her to the office and pulled out a chair. "Get comfortable. I'll be right back."
