Ivy stared at the video and then at Joshua. She was tongue-tied and many questions were swirling in her mind. She had long known that the situation was complex, but she did not know that it was this twisted.
Joshua sat beside her observing her every change in expressions. He noticed that her face was quite exquisite and she had a unique charm. It could attract many men just by looking at her. His eyes traveled from her expressive eyes to her lips. He suddenly started feeling hot and he gulped. Shaking away his perverted thoughts, he picked up the remote and reduced the room temperature.
"Have you found out anything else?" Ivy asked after thinking for a while. She had started to feel cold suddenly and her thin shirt was not helping her.
"That's all for now," Joshua replied.
Ivy nodded.
"If we can find him, maybe we can find out more about your father." Joshua continued. He also had a motive in finding that man. The video clip he had shown Ivy was only a part of it, there was still more to it. In the remaining part, he had seen Oliver show the man a document that had made him go in shock and become pale. The video did not have any sound, so he could not find out what they were talking about and what the contents of the document were.
If Noah's assumptions were correct, it the document which even they wanted. However, they did not know where it was and nor could they ask Oliver about it. The other three people who had fled with Oliver were long dead and when they had taken him with them, he did not have the file with him. The only way to find out more was to extract everything from the West sisters and from the man in the video or wait for Oliver to recover.
The three friends had come up with a plan to find out everything possible from the West sisters as well as from other sources. This matter was as important to them as it was to Ivy and Aria. They had someone dear to them who had been wrongly accused and only the file could save that person.
"Ivy, I heard from one of my sources that your father had stored at that he had found in a document and a pen drive. Do you have any idea about it?" Joshua asked looking at her intently.
Ivy thought for a while. She only knew about the file which she had retrieved from her old house. However, regarding the pen drive she had no idea about it.
"I have told you everything I know. If you want I can show you everything I have found out."
Joshua heard her and gave it a thought. Although Ivy had told him everything, there might be something which she could have missed or hidden from him intentionally. If he could somehow sneak into her house, he might be able to find out about it.
"That would be great. We can see if we have missed out on anything."
"All my findings are at home. If you are free, we can go right away." Ivy said hopefully.
Joshua was waiting for her to tell the same. He smirked but was also surprised at the trust Ivy had on him. His smirk was replaced by regret and guilt. He was making use of her for his personal gains while she was oblivious to it.
"If you are fine with it, we can leave right away," Joshua said standing up. He immediately sent his secretary a text to push back all his meetings. This matter was more important to him. After that, he sent a message to Noah.
'Plan worked. I will be waiting for you.'
"So, let's go."
Ivy and Joshua left the room and walked out of the building. It was a little over 3 p.m and it was still sunny. When Ivy approached her bike, she turned to look at him.
"How will you come?"
"I'll drive my car."
"Okay." Ivy took out her phone from her bag and sent him her address.
"I have sent you my address."
"That is not necessary. I'll follow you." Joshua gave her a wink making her roll her eyes.
"Okay, as you wish."
"Wait for me."
Joshua walked away from her towards his company parking. Meanwhile, Ivy put on her helmet as she waited for him to come. She looked at the place where she had seen Tim park his car before she went inside the building. The car was still in the spot. She immediately averted her gaze to avoid suspicions.
Five minutes passed and Joshua had not yet returned. Suddenly there was a loud honk from behind her. Ivy was startled. She looked at back to see Joshua waving at her from his car. She rolled her eyes at his weirdness and started her bike. She then turned to look at him. He gave her a nod after which Ivy rode past him and he started following her.
As soon as she took off, Tim too started his car. He had been waiting for her in his car. He had followed her from their agency until she stopped in front of Joshua's company. Tim looked at her and was confused as to why she had stopped here. He knew who Joshua was and also about his friendship with Noah. He was suddenly having a bad feeling about it.
Tim waited for forty minutes before Ivy came out with Joshua. From the looks of it, they looked like a couple. Anybody seeing them would conclude that they were in a relationship, the looked quite close and compatible.
When Ivy took off, he had seen Joshua follow her in his car. After waiting for some time, he started following the two of them. He wanted to see what they were up to.
Joshua closely followed Ivy, lest he should miss her. He was impressed by her bike riding skills. She looked suave and sexy.
At that moment, his phone rang. He connected the Bluetooth and attended the call.
"Joshua, where are you?" Noah's voice was heard loud and clear in the car.
"I am going to Ivy's house." He replied curtly.
"Hmm. I'll be there shortly." Noah said and cut the call.
While Joshua was on the phone, he had seen a car following him since he had left his building. Nothing could escape his hawk-like eyes. He furrowed his eyebrows confused. He was not sure who was following him and why. He kept on eye on him as he followed Ivy.
Ivy too had noticed Tim following her. He was two cars behind Joshua. She narrowed her eyes and her lips were pressed together in a thin line.
After driving for twenty-five minutes, they arrived in the street where Ivy and Aria lived. While Ivy rode her vehicle straight into a building, Joshua parked his car in front of it. He observed the person following him, he had parked his car in a dark area a little away from his car. But Joshua could still make out the car that trailed behind him.
Joshua did not know that the person was following Ivy and not him. He had to find out who it was and what his intentions were. He stepped out of the car as Ivy came running to him.
"Joshua, come inside."
Ivy walked in the front while Joshua was behind her. Before entering the building, both of them did not forget to take a short glimpse at the car that had followed them.
