Ice and Fire novel Chapter 924

She took several steps backwards and stopped. She stood there motionlessly as she stared at the back of his head. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally mustered some courage. She sprinted back to Lawrence and stood in front of him. She held his arm and said, "Mr. Lawrence, you know that I have been admiring you and I really want to stay by your side. From the time that you hired me, I have already fallen in love with you. That's why I worked hard to improve myself. I want to be an excellent woman so I will deserve you."

This time, Lawrence met Ivy's eyes then he slowly asked, "Do you know why I hired you to be my assistant?"

"W... Why?" Ivy stammered. She already looked very nervous. She believed that Lawrence offered her a job to be his assistant because he had a crush on her. She was just so naive at first that she didn't see through his purpose. She even didn't know about love then. Only later that she figured it out. That was why she did everything she could to get closer to him and win his trust.

"Because of your friend, Rebecca Lin," Lawrence replied with gritted teeth. He stared at Ivy with his sharp eyes. He didn't intend to mention that name again for the rest of his life but Ivy provoked him. Since she misunderstood that he had a thing for her, he must tell her now the real reason why he hired her.

"Rebecca?" Ivy mumbled. Her eyes bulged in bewilderment. It occurred to her once that Rebecca might have something to do with her employment in the JC Group but she later on ruled out this possibility with some other reasons. Now, she heard it directly from her boss. She was really thunderstruck. She knew Lawrence wouldn't lie to her.

"Yeah, it's her," Lawrence confirmed. "I know that you take care of her mother every day now. And you still go to the sanatorium to visit her monthly, right?" Lawrence added. Lawrence was actually surprised that Ivy didn't know anything about his relationship with Rebecca. 'Didn't Rebecca tell her?' he wondered

Ivy immediately broke down. What Lawrence told her was really mind blowing. She loosened her grip on his arm and shook her head in disbelief. She was still confounded so she asked, "Did you have something to do with Rebecca's accident?"

"You know her better than me, don't you?" Lawrence asked back. Ivy turned her gaze away. She was lost in her thoughts. She tried to recall what happened a year ago and something came to her mind.

She looked back at Lawrence and asked, "You did that to her because of Aria, right?" Although Lawrence didn't answer her question directly, she still strongly believed that Lawrence had something to do with it.

"I don't have to answer your question. She made a lot of misdeeds so she only deserved what she got," Lawrence said grimly.

Lawrence had already expected that Ivy would blame him for what happened to Rebecca. After all, they were good friends. However, what Ivy would say next really surprised him.

Ivy grabbed his arm again and stared at him resolutely. Then she said pleadingly, "I don't mind what you did to Rebecca. I know what kind of person she is so you're right. She only deserves it. But me, all I want is to be with you and to be your woman. If you agree to date with me, I promise that I will never visit Rebecca again and I will stop looking after her mother. Just give me a chance to serve you, okay?"
