"Tim is keeping an eye on Ivy" Max uttered. This was like a big blow to all of them. They did not know what to say.

"I hope you have not done anything weird in the past few days." Max continued and looked at Ivy.

Ivy was still in shock. No words came out of her mouth, however, she still managed to nod a no.

"Good."

"Now guys listen to me. Go home and take a day off. Let us meet at my house the day after tomorrow. I\'ll discuss my plan with you. Also, don\'t hand over your resignation letter right now, it might seem suspicious. I have a feeling each of us is being watched."

Everybody nodded. It seemed fair.

"Come on let\'s go and Ivy don\'t do anything suspicious for the next few days. We do not know what kind of a person Tim is." Max warned.

"Yes."

The group of five left the cafe and went back to the building. Without further delay, they collected their things and left the office. They had nothing to do anyway.

Ivy walked out of the building with only a small box in her hand. She did not have many belongings in there.

"Ivy, be safe," Cedric said with a smile. She gave him a nod and went to her motorbike. At that moment, her phone alerted a message notification. She looked at it and sighed. It was a message from Joshua.

\'I have important news. Call me when you read this.\'

Immediately, she gave him a call. He picked it on the second ring.

"Hey."

"Hi. What have you got for me?" Ivy asked directly. She did not beat around the bush.

"I will tell you in person. I have something important to tell you about your father."

"Okay. Where do you want to meet me?"

"My office."

"I\'ll be there is twenty," Ivy said.

Joshua heard the difference in her tone. She did not sound like her usual self, there was grievance in her tone which he could detect although she hid it quite well.

"See ya." Joshua ended the call and frowned.

Exactly after twenty minutes, Ivy arrived at Joshua\'s office. On the way, while she was riding her bike she had seen a car follow her. Immediately she realized that Tim was keeping an eye on her. She even felt like an idiot for not sensing it before. However, it was not her fault, Tim had expertly hid himself while doing his job. Even now, he was doing a great job. It was Ivy who had paid more attention to her surroundings.

When Ivy parked her bike on arriving at her destination, she saw Tim\'s car stopping at a distance far away. Without much thought, she walked inside the building and saw the secretary, she had met before on her previous visit, waiting for her.

"Miss West, this way please." Lucia led her to Joshua\'s cabin without further delay. She knocked at his door twice before entering.

"Sir, Miss West is here." She gestured to Ivy to step in.

"Hello Ivy," Joshua said. Immediately, his mind was filled with the brief kiss he had shared with her, her soft lips felt so good that he wanted to kiss her again.

"Mr. Martin." Ivy greeted back.

Joshua noticed that she looked a little absent-minded.

"Do you want anything to drink?"

"Water would be fine," Ivy replied and her thoughts went back to Tim.

Joshua looked at Ivy and then at Lucia. "Get a bottle of water and some orange juice."

Lucia nodded and stepped out of the room. Before that, she did not forget to close the door behind her.

"Ivy," Joshua called her, but her attention was elsewhere.

"Ivy." He called again, and again no response.

Standing up from his chair, he walked around his desk and sat on the chair beside her. Looking at her staring into space, he flicked her forehead.

Ivy gasped in pain.

"Where the hell was your mind? I called you many times."

"Sorry." Ivy apologized, rendering Joshua speechless. He was not sure why Ivy had apologized. He was now definite there was something wrong with her. She was behaving weird.

"Spit it out." He said sternly.

"What?" Ivy stared at him confused.

"There is something bothering you. Tell me."

"No. No. Joshua, there is nothing bothering me. I am fine." In her fit of panic, Ivy had not realized that she had called him using his first name.

"Ivy."

"There is nothing. Trust me."

"Okay then. Until you say what is bothering you, I won\'t tell you what I have found out about your father."

"You found out something. What?" Ivy was excited now. She masked her worries expertly.

"Uh. Uh. You know my condition."

Ivy sighed. She realized that she could not talk him out. But, she could not tell him the truth either.

"Just work-related issues. Nothing major." Ivy said and it was the truth.

"Are you sure?" Joshua raised his eyebrows skeptically. He was not satisfied with her answer.

"Yes and by the way, if you have called me to waste my time then I\'ll take leave. I have a lot of things at hand." Ivy stood up annoyed.

"Hey, sit down. I was just worried."

"Thanks for your concern."

"You must be. It is not every day that a handsome man like me will be concerned for you." Joshua teased.

"Oh please. What handsome man are you talking about? Where is he?" Ivy looked around her.

Joshua narrowed his eyes. "Are you teasing me?"

"Oh, you realized that now. Slow brains."

At that moment, Lucia entered with a bottle of water and a bottle of juice.

"Anything else, sir?" Lucia asked after she placed the two bottles on the desk.

"That will be all."

Ivy waited until Lucia left them alone before she spoke again.

"So, what did you want to tell me?"

"I recently found out that the scam your father was covering was being supported financially by a powerful hand."

"And?" Ivy folded her hands. It was nothing significant.

"Remember the video that destroyed the Good City Clinic?"

"Yes?"

"There was a person who was talking to the patient\'s doctor in a room."

"Yes," Ivy remembered the man clearly.

"If you have noticed carefully, you would have known that among the staff who were arrested by the police, he was missing."

"Yes." Ivy had noticed it long back.

"He was the last person your father met before he went missing."

"How did you know that?" Ivy asked perplexed.

Joshua turned his laptop to her and played the recording. It showed her father speaking to the person she had seen in the secret room. After that, the scene shifted to the one where her father was running away from the man. He hopped into a van and fled from the spot with three other people who she could not see clearly.

"How are you so sure that he was the last person he met?" Ivy queried.

"I am not sure. It\'s just a feeling." Joshua shrugged. He did not tell her that after her father fled, Noah\'s men had followed him until they took him away. He had more information on hand, nut Noah had told him to give away only so much.

At least something was better than nothing.
