    Chapter 2155


    Balfour furrowed his brow, a picture of bewilderment.


    Ivy looked at him, whose face was full of innocence. Did he have the audacity to possibly share with


    her the sordid details of his date with Giselle?


    Augh burst forth from Ivy unexpectedly.


    “Have you lost your mind? I don’t want to hear about your escapades!


    You’ve got your life, and I’ve got things to do. I can’t just be on standby for you forever, waiting to hear


    about yourtest fling. I refuse to let you mess with my emotions.”

    Her voice trembled as she spoke.


    Though Balfour was confused, he could sense the boundaries she was setting.


    “What do you mean ‘your life, my things’? Ivy, have you forgotten about the contract you signed with


    me?”


    His irritation was palpable. He had spent hours ying a role with Giselle just to gather some evidence,


    thinking he’de home to a warm wee from Ivy. But now, he was met with her temper! What in


    the world was going on with this woman?


    “I haven’t forgotten. We’re just in a contractual rtionship, no need to remind me over and over.”


    Ivy’s head was lowered, while Balfour towered over her.


    Sometimes he truly couldn’t grasp Ivy’s moods. Everything was fine before he left, and now it seemed


    everything had changed. “Since you remember our contract, was that the attitude you should have


    towards your creditor?”


    His voice was haughty, distinctly cool.


    Perhaps this was for the best. This was the reality of their situation, wasn’t it?


    The gap between them was as vast as a chasm.


    “It’s


    my


    fault.”


    “Good. Now tell me, why did you scream at me?”


    Balfour pressed on.


    Ivy looked up in disbelief.


    How could this man be so cruel? Did he really expect her to repeat the harsh words Giselle had sent


    her?


    “What do you want to hear? My change of mood has nothing to do with you. Please, stop asking. For


    the sake of our working rtionship, okay? Just stop. I need some time alone.”


    Her brows were tightly knotted, and even the nce she threw Balfour was tinged with disdain, causing


    the man’s irritation to spike.


    He couldn’t figure out what had happened, nor did he know how to appease this woman.


    He tugged irritably at his already loosened tie.


    “Ha, Ivy, you’re pushing it too far! I’ve spent a fortune taking care of your debts, and now I can’t even


    talk to you?”


    Balfour sneered; his repeated references to her debts were intended to coax more words out of her.


    But to Ivy, it seemed like he was constantly reminding her of their boundaries, warning her not to


    overstep.


    Ivy’s gazended on him, and suddenly she asked, “Where’s your zer?”


    “What?” Balfour didn’t catch on immediately. He hardly paid any attention to his zer, much like when


    he was with Alyssa, he assumed he had left it at the office.


    “Must’ve left it at the office, I don’t know. I’ll have Quinton bring it overter.”


    Hearing his nonchnt exnation, jvy dropped her gaze silently.


    “Is that so? You were wearing your zer when you left. Did you really go to the office?”


    There was a hint of skepticism in Ivy’s voice, Balfour couldn’t help but frown, “What are you implying?


    You think I was out fooling around?
