Ice and Fire novel Chapter 810

Ivy didn't know what to do so she just nodded her head and said, "Hello."

Then she stepped forward planning to stride towards the restroom. However, Lawrence stopped her and held her arm. The next second, she found herself already pulled inside the men's room.

Lawrence was obviously very angry as he pressed Ivy against the wall. He throttled her neck with one hand and seized her arm with his other hand.

"What...what do you want to do?" Ivy exclaimed in terror. In such a close distance, she could even smell Lawrence's scent.

Lawrence questioned, "What's your relation with Rebecca Lin?" He glared at Ivy, his cheeks flushing. But, the longer he stared at her, he came to realize that Ivy still looked great even without the makeup and fancy clothes.

Ivy felt that her arm was hurting but she just endured it. She didn't want Lawrence to know that she was already in pain. She replied, "She is my sister. She lives next to my apartment."

Lawrence didn't respond and just kept on staring at her.

Ivy looked into his eyes timidly and added, "You know Rebecca? She will be very busy since she will have to start shooting a new drama. So she requested me to take care of her aunt. That's the reason why I am here now."

After his long silence, Lawrence finally spoke again. He asked fiercely, "Are you her maid?"

Ivy was astonished and wondered why he asked such question.

But despite her confusion, she still managed to reply, "No, no, no."

"Then why do you need to help her take care of other people?" Lawrence asked again. He knew that he was being childish right now but he couldn't control himself. He wasn't sure if it was because of Rebecca or it was because of Ivy who was standing in front of him.

Ivy didn't know how to answer his question so she fell into silence for a moment. She actually knew the real reason but since it was about Rebecca, she wasn't sure if it was right to tell this man. If she told this man that the woman she was taking care of was Rebecca's real mother and he happened to be a journalist, this secret would be revealed. It would definitely ruin Rebecca's pure and innocent image.

After Ivy thought about it carefully. Eventually, she decided not to tell this man the real reason.

Noticing her silence, Lawrence coldly asked, "Are you really not going to tell me the truth?" This was the first time that someone refused to answer his question. Moreover, she was a woman. Lawrence thought that this woman might be looking for death.

On the other hand, Ivy was thinking that this man might not be a journalist as she looked into his eyes.

But she still wanted to confirm so she asked, "Are you sure you're not a journalist?" She didn't want to betray Rebecca. She knew how Rebecca worked hard to gain this fame she was enjoying now one step at a time. She would never be the first person to tarnish her good image.

However, her question angered Lawrence more. "You thought I'm a journalist?" he asked with furrowed brows.

Ivy scanned Lawrence from head to toe then finally decided that he was not a journalist.
