While Noah was fretting that Aria had not called him yet, Joshua finished having a scrumptious meal at Ivy's house. As expected, the food was as good as before and he had to give it to her again. She was a good cook, just as good as Noah.
Now that he had finished eating, he did not have any more reason to prolong his stay. While Ivy was cleaning the dining table, he had removed all the traces of his work on her laptop. Though he had stopped the work, his AI was still working in the background. All the calls Tim would make would be recorded. He had done it just to ensure safety.
"Ivy, I'll get going."
"Sure." Ivy smiled at him and he started to walk towards the door. After a lot of hesitation, she stopped him. "Joshua."
"Yes?" He turned around, looking forward to what she wanted to tell him. Seeing her fidget in her place, he raised an eyebrow in question, wondering what she wanted to say.
