His Eagle Eyes on Me

"Of course, there's a point. You can't give me the bracelet, because you've never had it to begin with. Why else would you keep it from Irene three years ago?" Ivy said. "Just why are you so obsessed over this?"

"You didn't pay off her debt. You lied to her!" Ivy pointed out.

Sam sneered. "That's none of your business. So what if I lied to her? She's dead!"

"You are a terrible human being! I never want to see you again!" Ivy said and turned to leave.

She never expected Sam to admit to lying to Irene, and Sam, who realized that something was off, caught up to her and grabbed her arm.

"Who exactly are you? I've never heard of you from Irene. Are you some kind of a scammer?"Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

She shook his hand off. "You are the scammer here! What exactly did I scam you of? You had lied to Irene!"

Sam studied her face. "Y-You... Could you actually be Irene?!"

"It's none of your business!" she said, throwing his words back at him.

After sending the message to Ivy, Lucas returned to his bedroom. He froze in shock as he stared at his room.

His room looked like it had been ransacked by a burglar. The bedding was on the floor, and his wardrobe door stood ajar, but its contents looked untouched.

Lucas walked to the bedside table, opened the drawer, and found everything untouched, including the computer on his desk. All his valuables were there, hinting that whoever had broken in was not a thief. It must have been Ivy.

"What is that woman up to?" Lucas wondered.

He returned to the living room and looked at the sofa. The sofa cover had been washed but had not dried yet, leaving him with only hard stools to sit on.

In the end, Lucas decided to ask Caspian for Ivy's phone number.

He recalled that Ivy had submitted her resume; her number should be there.

When he unlocked his phone, he saw Ivy's reply. [I'm outside doing something. I'll be back to your place soon. Have you finished work?]

Lucas took a deep breath and replied. [Send me your mobile number.]

Ivy responded. [So, you finally want to exchange numbers with me?]

Ivy sent her number to Lucas, and he called her.

"Did you enter my bedroom?" Lucas asked, trying to contain his anger.

Ivy hesitated. "Um... I think I did. I wanted to change your bedding, but then I remembered that I had

something to do, so I left for a bit something t

Don't be mad. I'll take a cab and

come back immediately to tidy up

your room. I promise I'll quickly sort

it out."

"Didn't you promise never to enter my room? Why did you decide to break your promise?" Lucas asked her.

Blushing, Ivy explained, "I... I thought

that since I won't ever return, I would just tidy up your room. I wanted to tidy it up before leaving. I thought that even if I upset you, you wouldn't be, too, angry with me, since i'm leaving soon..."

"Come back immediately and tidy up your mess!" Lucas found himself getting annoyed whenever he heard her voice.

She sounded so innocent, and Lucas

could even picture how innocent she looked as she told him her reason. She behaved as though she was entitled to everything in his apartment.

Ivy hung up and saved Lucas' number. At the same time, she made a daring decision.
