Noah drove straight towards the parking at the basement instead of dropping the two people at the entrance of the building. Cedric was too overwhelmed to get such treatment from his Boss, and he was almost on the verge of shedding tears in happiness. Ivy rolled her eyes at his dramatic expression and walked beside him while Noah stayed back to answer a call from Ronnie.

Though Ivy wanted to ignore the impatient and excited man beside her, he made it impossible for her to do so. Cedric was too thrilled from the turn of events and all that he had discovered for the day, and it was evident from the way he was walking. It was as though his legs had gone numb, and they refused to coordinate with him or his mind to walk properly.

Ivy could not tolerate it any longer and she stopped walking, forcing Cedric to stop with her. "Spit it out."

"What?" Cedric gave her a questioning look, wondering what she wanted of him.

"I know you have many things to ask me. There is no one around us here. You can speak all you want before we enter the building. Once we are in, keep your lips sealed." Ivy looked around her to make sure that no one was in the vicinity. Only when she had made sure of it did she face Cedric again.

"Ivy, this is crazy. Where did find this explosive news, and how did you find out about those two bastards?" Even though Cedric was excited, he made sure to keep his voice low lest he should attract an audience unknowingly.

"Let's just say I am very resourceful. I have a lot of sources who inform me about these kinds of things." Ivy did not reveal a word about Maggie and maintained an air of mystery around her.

"Ivy, please tell me. I promise I will not tell anyone about it." Cedric supported his camera bag in one hand while he held Ivy's hand in the other as he pleaded with her. "You can trust me to keep this matter to myself. I will tell no one about it."

"I am really sorry, Ced. I have promised my sources that will not speak a word about them to anyone. I trust you. I do. But I do not want to put their life in danger in case someone were to eavesdrop on us by chance. I cannot risk their life due to my carelessness. Please try to understand." Ivy showed her helplessness in this matter, and Cedric gave up forcing her, understanding her plight.

"I understand, Ivy. I too do not want to put their life in danger. They have helped not only us but the entire nation. They are our saviors. I do not want to harm them intentionally or unintentionally. You do not have to apologize for it." Cedric stated and pushed his bag back on his shoulders while Ivy gave him a grateful smile.

"My mind is a mess today. I get to find out surprises and shocks on the same day and every one among them is more explosive than the other. I don't think I will be able to sleep today."

Ivy chuckled at his words and shook her head. Cedric had returned to his usual playful self, and she was glad that he had not probed more into this matter. Though she trusted him with her life, she did not trust the situation they were in and did not intend to put Maggie in danger due to her momentary slip of the tongue.

Ivy was just about to comfort him when she noticed Noah walking towards them, and was grinning in happiness and triumph. Ivy raised her eyebrow at him and folded her hands as she waited for him.

"You seem happy. Did something happen? Did Aria call you just now?" She teased and once again, Cedric stiffened in his place, the pressure of Noah's presence hitting him hard.

"I have some great news for you." Noah completely ignored Ivy's tease, making her pout in dismay. "Our hotel, which was yet to be inaugurated, is finally completed and we can go ahead with the inauguration. We have got all the legal papers and acceptance." Noah exclaimed in delight, his face reflecting the joy he was feeling from within. Only he knew how desperate he was for the hotel to be inaugurated and how much it had been delayed by now. If not for Joshua's accident, their news would have dominated their channel first instead of Jared's and Charles's.

"That's great. You must finally be relieved now." Ivy too could not conceal her happiness and relief. She had seen how much effort Noah and his employees had put into the project, and it was all due to Maggie's rescue plan and Joshua's injury that they had to put off the inauguration for the time being.

"Yes, I am. I need to speak to Joshua first. If he is prepared too, we will go ahead with the inauguration of our hotel and the release of his video game this Friday."

"I am sure he is waiting for your signal. He must be prepared by now." Ivy added while Cedric gave her a cryptic look which Ivy ignore completely. 

"I will speak to him later. I need to meet Max first. I have a few matters to discuss with him. Do you want to accompany me?" Noah offered, and Ivy accepted his offer immediately. She had long realized that once Noah left her alone, Cedric would only bombard her questions, ones she was not yet ready to answer.

"Sure. I have to speak to Max too. We could go together." Ivy nodded at Cedric, and the three people started walking. Even though Ivy had feigned ignorance, Cedric had not missed her little ploy and he shook his head. So what if she had escaped now, he would have a lot of chances to catch hold of her and ask her the new set of questions that had started to bug his mind.

"I will not be visiting the agency the next few days. I have other matters to attend to." Noah whispered such that only Ivy was able to hear him. 

"Got it."

"I will leave it you and father-in-law to take care of all the matters here. If anything, you can mediate between the agency and Dad. You can do this, right?"

Ivy stopped walking as soon as she heard Noah's question. She gaped at his back in disbelief. Dealing with a complicated situation was never her forte and now, Noah had pushed her to become the mediator between her father and the agency, and this was the last thing she wanted. Nobody in the agency knew who the Vice President was, and her being the mediator would only raise suspicions, putting her in a spot, which Ivy never wanted. 

Ivy wanted to kill him for pushing into such a predicament. But Noah did not stop even though he had seen Ivy halt in her steps.. He just chuckled softly as he kept walking towards the entrance, leaving a frustrated Ivy to deal with her problem as well as the question bank called Cedric.
