The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1958

Megan had always known that Ivy’s mom wasn't exactly the nurturing type. Back in college, Megan had often stood up for Ivy, though it had seemed to do little good.

"It's okay, I've actually moved out of my parent's place now. I'm a bit embarrassed to ask, but... I was hoping you could help me out with something."

Ivy felt a genuine sense of embarrassment. She rarely reached out unless she needed something, and now here she was, inviting Megan for a meal because she needed a favor. She acknowledged the awkwardness of the situation, but her previous lack of freedom in the Dunhill family left her with little choice.

Megan linked arms with her, walking confidently into the restaurant. "There is no need to feel awkward! If there’s anything I can assist with, I’m here to help!"

Once seated, Ivy slid the menu toward her friend. "Pick whatever you fancy, Megan. It's on me today."

Megan didn't hold back and chose a couple of her favorite dishes.

"So, spill it, Ivy. What's this big favor you need?"

Ivy bit her lip, hesitating before finally speaking up. "Well, it's just... I'm looking for a job. I'm kind of in a bind for cash right now, and I really need to get a job."

"Job hunting, huh?" Megan furrowed her brows in thought, then something clicked. "Actually, I might be able to help! The ad agency that works with our office is hiring. With your credentials, you'd be a shoo-in!"

Ivy's eyes sparkled with hope. "Really? You think I could get it?"

"Of course! You're super talented, Ivy. Have a little faith in yourself!" Megan whipped out her phone and sent Ivy a job listing. "There, I've sent you the details. Send your resume over, and I'll put in a good word. If they like what they see, they'll definitely give you a call!"
