Lucas' face was still flushed from the alcohol. "What did you think would happen between us?" He paused and glanced at Ivy. "Where's Caspian?"
"He's probably sleeping in your office. Your face is quite red. Do you want to go home and rest?" Ivy asked.
"I'm not drunk," Lucas retorted.
"I can drive you home, you know! I drove Caspian's car today, and I realized I'm not too bad at driving." Ivy followed behind him as he walked on. "Where's Ms. Feake? Did you drop her off at the hotel?" she asked as they entered the office.
"No, we just chatted briefly and went our separate ways," Lucas replied.
"What did you talk about? I feel like Ms. Feake has a thing for you. Did she confess her feelings or do something to you?" Ivy inquired.
"You seem to know everything. Are you assuming that or did she tell you about it?" Lucas asked.
"It's just a guess! Her behavior was quite obvious." Ivy followed Lucas into the office. "What did you two actually talk about?"
Lucas frowned. "Are you aware that you are just an employee? You dare pry into your boss' private matters?"
Ivy blinked innocently. "I just wanted to see if this collaboration has a chance of success! If it does, I'll feel better about accepting my salary."
"Even if the collaboration were to fail, I could still afford to pay you," Lucas said, taking a seat behind his desk.
"Why isn't Caspian in your office?" Ivy, noticing Caspian's absence, sat down in the chair opposite Lucas and picked the form up from the desk.
"He isn't in the habit of taking lunch breaks. He's probably off smoking and playing games somewhere," Lucas replied, snatching the document back from Ivy and giving it another look.
"Mr. Woods, how about I fill it out for you?" Ivy took a pen from the holder on the desk. "You don't seem so keen on this investment anyway. I'll help you complete it."
