"Sorry, I don't think I know the person you're talking about. Are you sure you've got the right person?"
Quinton didn't show any signs of panic. He pulled out a crisp two hundred-dollar bills and handed it to Ivy. "He said that you would remember if you saw this."
"This is..." Ivy's eyes narrowed as she stared at the slightly crumpled bill, and suddenly, the events of that morning flashed through her mind.
So, this Mr. Howard was the guy from last night? The man who seemed to have a lot of clout?
And now he was sending someone to find her. It couldn't be to settle scores, could it?
Ivy felt a twinge of fear and glanced over to see Clara's puzzled face.
If she got into with this suit guy now, there was no way last night's escapade would stay a secret.
Clara hadn't gained anything the previous day and was sure to seize this opportunity to make a scene!
Rather than going home and having Clara spill the beans to their parents, Ivy decided it was better to see what this Balfour wanted.
"Alright, I'll go with you."
Under Clara's baffled gaze, Ivy followed Quinton to his car and the car quickly drove off.
Clara watched the luxury car disappear, envy bubbling inside her, yet she was utterly confused. How does Ivy know someone with a fancy car like that?
