Chapter 10 - Ivy and Arias father (1/2)

'Let's meet up. Have something important to discuss.

Venue- Hotel Blue Purple.​​

Time- 7.30 pm

See ya.

Danny.'

Ivy read Danny's message. She was sitting in her cubicle, scrolling through her messages. She had received a lot of missed calls and messages, most of them from Kira and Max and some from unknown numbers. The one text that caught her eye was from Danny.

Although Ivy and Daniel had known each other since childhood, he was not that close to her as he was with Aria. Their thoughts never matched and most of the time they argued till both of them had only one wish in mind: To rip off the other person's head. Finally, it would be Aria to the rescue, bringing peace between them. So they never talked much, except for when the met occasionally. He only texted her, if he had something crucial to discuss.

'Okay.' She texted back.

'Do you want me to pick you up?' His reply came immediately.

'Don't take the trouble.'

Ivy looked at the time; it was around 6.30 pm. She picked her back and got up to go.

”Where are you going?” Kira asked, scrutinizing her through her glasses.

”I am done for the day.”

”What do you mean you are done for the day? You arrived to work after the lunch hour.”

”But I got you a big news. And I don't have any work right now?”

”Don't you want to watch the news you uncovered?”

”Nah. I am fine. Anyway once it's telecasted, it will be the only news playing on all channels for a few days.”

”You are right. But do you seriously wanna go?”

Ivy nodded.

”Okay. See you tomorrow.”

Ivy gave her a flying kiss and walked out.

.....

Aria was waiting for Danny outside the hospital. She had finished attending to all her patients and had reminded the receptionist to call her in case of an emergency. She was sipping on her Iced Caramel Macchiato, while tapping her right foot.

A black Audi A8 stopped in front of her and the windows rolled down. Danny was sitting in the driver's seat.

”Get in.”

Aria got in and sat beside him.

”Did you go to Starbucks?”

”No. Why?”

”Then, how did you get the drink?” Danny looked at the cup in Aria's hand as he started driving.

”This? I tricked one of my patient's bodyguard into buying me one.” Aria remembered Noah's guard, whom she had fooled a few minutes back. ”So what did you want to talk about?”

”Not here. Let's talk while we are eating. I have texted your sister too.”

”Ivy's back? She didn't give me a call. When did she come back?”

”Why? Where did she go?”

”Uron City. She had got some leads on a criminal activity, a couple of days back.”

”I think she came back today afternoon. And Miss Brainless, if I remember correctly, your phone got damaged,. So how would you get a call?”
