The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2002

Nolan furrowed his brow, detecting a hint of tension in Ivy's voice as she spoke of her mother, Tessa, "She said she couldn't find you, knew we were acquainted, and thus showed up here. Do you want to come over now?"

The fact that Tessa had tracked down The Harris Group at this moment didn't sit well with Ivy. She couldn't shake the feeling that Tessa was up to something.

But if she didn't go now and escort Tessa away, Ivy knew Tessa wouldn't leave without a fuss, and that would only cause unnecessary trouble for Nolan.

With a reluctant sigh, Ivy made up her mind, "Hang on, Nolan, I'll be right there."

She hung up and hurried out the door, heading straight for The Harris Group.

Upon arriving at the CEO's office and seeing Tessa comfortably sipping water, Ivy's face darkened as she grabbed Tessa by the arm, "Get up, and we're leaving."

"Ivy!" Tessa shook off her grip, clearly not ready to go, "What's the rush? I hardly ever come here, and why leave so soon?"

Was she going to stay here?

Ivy couldn't fathom what Tessa was doing here in the first place.

"This isn't your house, and it's Mr. Harris' business. Let's go," she insisted.

"Ivy," Tessa cooed, feigning affection as she clutched Ivy's hand, "If I hadn't made this trip, I wouldn't have known you've met such a fine young man as Mr. Harris. You should cherish this opportunity."

Ivy was at a loss for words, but a quick glance at Nolan made things crystal clear.
