Chapter 14. Silas was working when Ivy's call came in . He didn't know it was " Yes I am . " Ivy replied firmly . " What happened ? Why the change of heart ? " sher until he heard her voice . " Uhmm , are you sure about that ? " She paused for a moment before she spoke . " Nothing , I just changed my mind . " He knew she was lying but he didn't press . " Alright then , " he said . " I'll start the process . " " Alright ." Before he e could stop himself , he blurted out , " Dinner tonight ?

Somewhere private ? " Another pause . " Yes , sure . " " Great , " he smiled , even though she couldn't see that . " I'll send you an outfit . " You don't have to , Silas , " she said . " Oh , come on . It's a gift ," he countered . " If you keep gifting me lovely gowns , I'll take it you disapprove of my wardrobe and don't trust my fashion sense ," she teased , but there was a hint of offense in her tone . " Oh I didn't … " he stuttered . " I'm sorry . I didn't know you felt that way .

" " Well , I just went shopping yesterday and I haven't worn anything I bought ," she said . " I'm sorry , Ivy . I didn't mean to impose . I just wanted to give you something ," he said , softening his tone . She sighed . " Fine . I'll accept it - only because you have great taste in gowns . " She sounded like she was smiling- He chuckled . " Alright , thank you " " No slits this time , " she joked . " Ho slits this time , " he promised . " See you later , " she said and hung up .

Silas set his phone down on the desk , still smiling . He had been thinking about her all night - all day . God , it had been so hard to focus on anything else . Why was it so hard to have her again ? It wasn't like it was the first time . He just wanted those pink nipples in his mouth - to taste her , to bury himself in between her legs and lose himself in her warmth . The mere thought made him hard , and he ran a hand through his hair as he tried to pull himself together .

Then , with a sigh , he picked up his phone again , and dialed Wade . " Hey , Wade , " he said when Wade picked up . " I heard your wife is a diva ," Wade teased . " How's it going ? " " Good , " Silas replied , then he remembered the conditions he wanted to add to the contract . " I need you to update the contract with a few changes , and I'll need it today . Is that possible ? " " That might be tight . Just send me the revisions , and I'll get to it as soon as I can , Wade replied .

" Thanks , Silas said . " I was also calling to inform you about the next phase of publicity " " Okay , " Wade said . " I had a discussion with Thomas about the procedure we could begin with . Maybe starting with pictures . What do you think ? " I have no idea , " Silas said . " 1 ] l meet up with my team and come up with something " 10 16 AM Chapter 14 " Alright . Tll have some meetings with Thom ' s publicity teams as well , and then we'll work with yours . Good ! " Wade asked .

w " Yes , sounds good , Silas replied . " Okay . Let me know how that goes . Don't forget to send me those changes , Wade reminded him . " I won't . Later , Wade . " " Bye . " Ending the call , Silas buzzed Mrs. Harris through the intercom . " Send Rachel in , please ." Then he went back to work . He was barely engrossed in it when his door opened . Expecting to see Rachel , a young woman barged in instead , notebook in hand . " Mr. Stone , what do you have to say about your brother ?

" she asked , stepping forward . " What's your response to the allegations that he built his business through fraud ? I would like your opinion on- "" Mrs. Harris rushed in , flustered and clearly out of breath . She grabbed the reporter by the arm , dragging her towards the door . " You need to leave ! " she said through gritted teeth . Just a few questions , Mr. Stone ! " the reporter called as she was wheeled away . Silas sighed .

It's been awhile since he was in the news or had reporters buzzing over him , especially after his final breakup with Kim . He didn't miss it and he most definitely didn't miss Kim . Mrs. Harris returned , apologizing . " I'm so sorry , sir . She's being handled by security . She just barged in , and I couldn't stop her , " she explained . " Alright . Let Rachel know I need to see her urgently , " Silas said . Mrs. Harris nodded and left. Silas frowned , his thoughts turning to security .

He'd have to double it now - he couldn't risk reporters barging into his place of business . especially now that Bud wasn't securing him anymore . The door opened again , and Rachel , his personal assistant , entered . Aside from being his PA , Rachel also doubled as his director of internal affairs . " You called for me , sir , " Rachel said , stepping forward . " Take your seat , " Silas gestured to the seat opposite his . " I intend to go public with my marriage .

" Rachel was one of the few people who knew about it . " But I don't know how to approach it . I need suggestions ." Rachel adjusted her glasses , her expression changed . " Depends on the kind of impact you want . We could issue a formal statement about the marriage , stage a wedding and release photographs . There are plenty of options ," Silas leaned forward . " Which approach would be the most provocative ? The loudest ? " Rachel pondered for a moment .

" We could start by releasing snippets of you two spending time together - a public appearance , dates . Then , follow up with a formal wedding and release the photos . We could combine several ideas together . Tm sure it would result in maximum attention . Silas thought about his time with Kim . Everywhere they went , paparazzi followed . Kim enjoyed the spotlight , but him - not so much .

This whole unveiling thing was like reliving his public moments with Kim , except this time , he was purposely putting them out - and doing it for Thomas . " Alright , sounds right , " he finally said . " Gather your ideas with the publicity teams , and schedule a meeting with Thomas's teams so we can brainstorm together . " " Alright , boss , " Rachel said . " I also need you to send the new contract arrangements to Wade . I'll give you the list for that . " Rachel ruse . se .

" Got it , boss . " " And increase security - both at the office and my house . Add new members to the team . " Rachel nodded . " Would that be all , sir ? " - 10.16 AM Chapter 14 Silas tilted his head , thinking . What else was he missing ? faint smile tugged at his lips . Calling Ivy his wife had a nice " Ah , make a reservation for 8 pm at Chester Hotel for me and my wife . " A faint s ring to it . " Of course , sir . " Rachel said with a nod . " That would be all " he said .

Rachel nodded again . " Alright , sir , " she replied before leaving If Ivy was holding up her end of the deal , he needed to do the same . He would call Thomas so he could secure a location for Ivy's photography business . But first , he picked up his phone and dialed Sky Rave - the designer who had made that stunning black gown for Ivy . This time , he would request for a golden gown , with no slit , elegant but with just enough cleavage showing .

He couldn't wait to see breasts of hers - reserved for his eyes only . those As he waited for Sky to pick , a thought crossed his mind : How would Ivy feel about dining at Chester Hotel - the very place where they had first made love ! AD
