Cinderella And Her Bossy Master

In the house of the Smith clan of Aurora City.

Ivy Hill just went in and saw Mrs Smith. She was sitting on the sofa directing workers to decorate things. Ivy's mother, Sarah, was helping Mrs Smith pour a cup of tea with her back bent.

"Hello, Ivy! You are back!"

Mrs Smith saw her first and said hello to her initiatively.

Ivy quickly lowered her head, "Hello, madam."

"Ivy is so beautiful! I heard that she was promoted to the chief cellist by the orchestra? You are so lucky to have an excellent daughter like Ivy, Sarah!" Mrs Smith said with a smile.

It seemed that she was in a good mood today.

Sarah raised her eyes and looked at Ivy. She replied softly, "You flattered me, madam. It's you who is the lucky one. Your son is so much better than Ivy."

Mrs Smith got happier after hearing Sarah praise her son, Brian Smith. "Brian is excellent. But his marriage gives me a headache. I truly want Ivy to be my daughterinlaw if she is of suitable age."

Everyone here knew it was a little exaggerated.

Sarah even turned pale. She couldn't say a word because of her simple character. Fortunately, Ivy's reaction was quick enough, she hurriedly said, "Please don't make fun of me, madam. I don't deserve your son at all."

Obviously, What Mrs Smith said was a joke. Mrs Smith turned her eyes elsewhere after a smile. "That flower should be cut shorter. Well, put it here." She said to workers.

Mrs Smith no longer paid attention to Ivy, and Ivy didn't stay here any longer. She just silently carried her instrument box to the room.

Her room and Sarah's room were on the first floor of this house.

Because Ivy had been living here for many years and Mrs Smith may truly have some "pity" for Ivy. So Ivy had a room, but the illumination there was very poor, and she couldn't see much sunshine in the usual.

After putting the instrument away, Ivy lay on the bed.

She hadn't slept well for several days because of the performance with the orchestra. So she quickly slept in this small space of her own.

In the hazy moment, she seemed to hear the lively voice outside, it should be the young master, Brian, who had returned.

Then the cell phone next to her pillow began to vibrate.

Ivy didn't look at the caller ID, half narrowed her eyes and answered the phone, "Hello?"

Her voice was hoarse and soft. After a slight pause, the man on the phone smiled and said, "Come here."

Ivy woke up suddenly. After taking a look at the caller ID and confirming that it was right, she said yes and got up to put on her coat.

The night was deep.

The whole house was quiet. Ivy went to Sarah first. After making sure Sarah was asleep, she crept up the stairs.

That man's room was on the third floor.

The vision was excellent so it should be welllit.

It was just her guess, because she never came here during the day.

Her steps were already very light, but he was waiting at the stairs, so as soon as Ivy stepped on the ground, her whole body was dragged by him.

His warm body pressed in front of her, behind her was the cold wall.

Ivy wanted to say something, but the moment she opened her mouth, the man's kiss had covered her lips, one hand was clinging to her waist, and the other hand had taken off her coat.

Ivy was afraid of the cold. When her clothes fell to the ground, she couldn't help sticking closer to that man's body. That man was very satisfied with this. After a slight smile, he picked her up and walked directly to his room.

In the moonlight, the man's handsome face was above Ivy. The shape of Ivy was clearly reflected in his deep eyes. Although his body's temperature was very high and they stuck very close. She couldn't see any desire in his eyes.

There was only peace, even indifference in his eyes.

Ivy's hand gently touched his cheek and said, "Brian."

The man smiled with satisfaction, bowed his head and kissed her.

Before dawn, Ivy pulled away the hand of the man who was pressing on her, picked up the clothes on the ground, put them on one by one, and gently went downstairs.

They did too passionately last night, so she overslept. She heard the rustle outside when she closed the door. It was the servants who got up to work.

Including her mother.

Ivy lay back in bed and turned on her mobile phone to read the text messages. The latest message was the information recorded by the bank her performance fee this time.

After staring at the numbers above for a long time, Ivy finally accepted the fact that she was still far from the expected goal. She then silently turned off the screen of her mobile phone and closed her eyes.

Later, she got asleep again, and it was already nine o'clock when she woke up.

She immediately got up from bed and went to the maid's bathroom in the deepest corridor. After washing, she put on her coat and went out.

It was a fine day today. Mrs Smith was drinking a cup of tea in the garden. Sarah bent down and stood beside her. She echoed as soon as Mrs Smith needed someone to talk to.

Ivy glanced at them and then took back her eyes immediately. After she had just taken a few steps outside, the voice of the housekeeper, uncle Tom, came "Madam, Miss Brown is here."

Hearing this, Mrs Smith immediately put down the teacup in her hand excitedly, "Invite her in immediately."

Uncle Tom answered and quickly led her in.

From a distance, Ivy could see her highly customized little dress, exquisite face and makeup.

"Here you come! My dear Flora!"

Mrs Smith, with a warm smile on her face, stepped forward as she spoke. She took the woman's hand in hers, and said, "Just in time! I've just boiled a pot of tea. Do you wanna have some?"

"Thank you so much, aunt Smith."

Her voice was reserved and gentle, and the smile on Mrs Smith's face deepened a bit.

Ivy didn't look at them any longer. When they were talking, she picked up the instrument box and walked out with her head down.

"Is there a guest?"

When Ivy reached the gate, the man on the third floor also came down with a low voice.

"It's Miss Brown, master." Uncle Tom replied.

"I see."

The man's voice was calm. Ivy didn't look at them and didn't stop, and then she walked out.

……

Ivy arrived at the training class just in time.

The performance tasks of the orchestra were heavy. Generally, members were not allowed to take private jobs, but Ivy needed money, and oneonone teaching didn't cost her much energy, so the head agreed.

"Ivy!"

The little girl waved to Ivy excitedly after she saw her.

She was a student of Ivy. She was eight years old this year. Em... Her family name was Brown as well, her name was Kate Brown.

Ivy sat down opposite her. "Let's start with the song I asked you to practice last week."

Four hours passed quickly.

"Well, you pulled this note wrong just now, and here, you entered too early..."

When Ivy was seriously helping her with counseling, Kate turned her eyes and suddenly stood up excitedly, "Aunt Flora!"

Ivy's voice suddenly stopped. When she looked up, her eyes met those of the man and woman at the door.

Small dress, black suit.

It was a perfect match.

Ivy stood up, put her hand on Kate's instrument, and dropped her head.

"Why the one picked me up today is you, aunt Flora?"

Kate hugged the waist of the woman in front of her.

Flora rubbed her hair. "I was shopping with someone nearby. I figured you'd be out of class by now, so I came to pick you up. You aren't happy?"

"I'm happy of course!" Kate said. And she wanted to say something else but her eyes looked at the man beside Flora, "Who is this?"

"Well, let me introduce my friend, Brian, maybe you should call him... uncle?"

"I see! I shouldn't call him uncle, I should call him uncleinlaw!"

Kate's words made Flora's face red. The man smiled gently at Kate, "You could Just call me uncle Brian."

"Ok, you are so handsome, uncle Brian! I want to eat ice cream. Can you treat me to ice cream?"

The man smiled, "My pleasure."

Flora looked at them with a red shy face and then turned her eyes to Ivy, "Excuse me? can Kate leave now?"

Hearing the voice, Ivy raised her eyes and her eyes flashed over the man on her side and smiled at Flora, "Yes."

While talking, she had helped Kate put away her instrument. When she was about to hand it to Kate, the man took that over from Ivy's hand.

His fingertips gently crossed Ivy's fingers. She pursed her lips, then took back her hand and said goodbye to Kate.

They three left soon.

The picture was very much like a family of three, incomparably harmonious.

Ivy stood in place for a while before returning to the piano room to pack up.

At night.

Ivy practiced for two more hours in the rehearsal room today. When she returned to the house, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. The whole house was quiet.

Ivy lightened her steps. When she was passing through the living room, a voice suddenly came, "Why are you back so late?"

She was startled. Her hands unconsciously grasped the strap of the instrument box and turned around.

The man was standing at the top of the stairs, squinting at her.

The induction lamp on the stairs lighted and the light reflected the tall figure of the man, and there was no expression on his handsome face.

"Because of the rehearsal."

Ivy answered softly.

"Well." He said, and walked up to her.

Ivy subconsciously wanted to step back, but his hand had stretched out and hugged her waist.

The next moment, his kiss had fallen on her cheek and his breath was burning.

Ivy was startled and subconsciously wanted to push him away, "Please don't do this here...."

"No." He said.

While talking, he had dropped her instrument box on the ground.

"Boom!", the sound of her box falling was particularly clear in the silent night.

Ivy's heart was about to jump out, and her eyes were wider. However, the man ignored and pressed his body against her and clamped her struggling hands.

"Master..."

She kept her voice low and half crying.

"Call me by my name." His breath was in her ear, his hand peeled off her clothes one by one, and he asked with a little impatient tut, "Why did you wear so many clothes?"

"Brian, let's go upstairs..." Ivy was really about to cry.

It was so close to the servants' restroom. And there were patrolling security guards outside. As long as one person saw them...

What Mrs Smith said yesterday was just a joke. If Mrs Smith knew that she had something to do with Brian, she would truly kill her!

Brian didn't take care of her words. When he found that Ivy still wanted to speak again, he bowed his head and kissed her lips, blocking her words back.

After her body softened, everything would go much easier.

After that, Ivy heard his deep voice, "Why did you go teaching in the training class?? Lack of money?"

Ivy pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Yes..."

"What do you want money for?" He squinted at her. "Why didn't you tell me you was lack of money?"

Ivy stopped talking.

After looking down at her for a while, Brian smiled, "You want to study abroad, didn't you?"

Ivy immediately opened her eyes. At the moment of matching Brian's eyes, her mind and body suddenly cooled down.

Ivy's first reaction was to try and push the man in front of her away, but as if he knew her intention, and he immediately clasped her shoulders and lowered his head to bite her directly.

Her body trembled slightly as she groaned in pain from his teeth piercing the skin!

"You want to leave, don't you?" His voice came to her ear.

Ivy struggled, but she simply gave up and closed her eyes tremblingly. "You are getting married, right?"

"With Flora."

"So what? Are you jealous?" He bowed his head and kissed her eyes. "It's just a business marriage. Nothing more."

"You have your own life, and I want mine."

After hesitating for a long time, Ivy still decide to said, "I want my mother to leave with me together, so we'd better not do this kind of thing from now on and......"

Before Ivy finished her words, he suddenly grabbed her wrist.

The strength of the sudden fastening suddenly changed Ivy's face, she opened her eyes, "Master..."

"What did you just say? I didn't catch you. Say it again."

The man's face was still with a gentle smile, but his eyes were gloomy!

Ivy's face suddenly turned pale!

Everyone said that the young master of the Smith clan is a gentleman, and modest and easygoing, but only Ivy knew that he was a complete madman!

He is a violent, moody and irascible man.

After repeatedly adjusting her breathing, she murmured, "Master..."

"Call my name."

"Brian..."

Her voice choked and her wet eyes were covered with tears.

"Huh?"

"I'm wrong, sorry..."

"Good girl." He let go of her hand and put her in his arms. "Well, it's all right. You see, I'll always forgive you easily, but you'd better not make me angry, understood?"

Ivy closed her eyes and stoped talking.

When he released her from the hot hug, he kissed her eyes once again and gently helped her to pull up her clothes. Then he said, "Good night, you could go to sleep now."

……

When Ivy's band performed in Aurora city for the second time, Brian came to see her perform.

With Flora and Kate.

Brian got the chief VIP seats from the organizer, and Ivy saw them as soon as she got on stage.

Kate was super excited. "Miss Ivy!" she shouted with her little hands clapping warmly.

Before taking her seat, Ivy gave her a slight nod.

Having been promoted to Principal Cellist, her clothes were different from other cellists'. Her long white dress stood out against the aqua blue suit, and her long black hair was wavy. She was wearing a light makeup and looked elegant and feminine.

Brian looked at her but frowned a bit.

Flora said, "Miss Ivy is so pretty."

Flora put on a smile on her face, but her eyes were fixed on Brian.

Brian smiled back, and his eyes fell on the pianist opposite Ivy.

He knew that pianist, his name was Kevin Miller, who was the chief pianist of their band.

Kevin was also wearing a white suit today, which was commensurate with the color of Ivy's dresses. At this time, his eyes were falling on Ivy, and the corners of his mouth rose upward.

Ivy was also smiling at Kevin.

It made Brian's face sink instantly!

The performance ended smoothly.

Kate prepared a bouquets for Ivy, but the audience was not allowed to go on stage. Flora had to take her backstage.

Brian smiled and said, "I'm gonna smoke. You two can go get her."

Flora smiled and walked Kate backstage under the guidance of staff.

However, they did not see Ivy.

"Strange. I just saw her here. Maybe she went to the bathroom? I'm sorry. Please sit down first. I'll have someone look for her."

The orchestra's agent knew about Flora's identity. So he apologized with a smile.

"It doesn't matter. We'll wait for her."

Flora and Kate sat down on the sofa and waiting for Ivy.

Ivy was indeed in the bathroom, but she was not alone.

Her hand was grabbed by Brian, and it hurt very much when she moved. She had to relax and look at the man in front of her.

Even though his handsome face was expressionless, his eyes showed dissatisfaction. He lowered his head, and as he saw her delicate neck and exposed clavicle, his displeasure deepened.

"What's the matter with you?"

He didn't speak. So Ivy had to ask him first. Her voice sounded obedient.

He was still silent. He just lowered his head and slowly approached her neck. When he wanted to gave her a large love bite, Ivy suddenly said, "Don't leave a mark on my neck. I'll go to the celebration later."

Her voice was very soft, with some obedient flattery and supplication.

He smiled. His action still didn't stop, but it was changed to kiss.

When the slight tingling feeling came, Ivy's eyebrows immediately frowned and couldn't help humming.

Just in time, a voice suddenly came from outside the compartment, "Did you just see the man under the stage?"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Brian Smith! The general manager of Smith Group!"

The voice of strange women made the man smile softly and let go of Ivy's hands.

"Oh, really? I wasn't even aware. Is he alone?"

after leaving his love bite on Ivy's neck, the man straightened up with satisfaction.

"No, there's a young woman with him, Maybe his girlfriend. There's a little girl as well and she went backstage. I heard she is the niece of that young woman."

Women outside were still discussing, but the man in front of Ivy suddenly turned around. Ivy's expression changed suddenly as she saw him about to open the door and go out, and her hands grabbed him without even thinking!

Brian raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

Ivy's brows furrowed tightly, and her slender fingers gripped his wrist.

"Oh, I thought he came for Ivy Hill."

Ivy didn't expect her name to show up this way. She was stunned.

"Ivy Hill? Does she have something to do with Brian?"

"I'm not sure, but I've heard the head say before that she seems to live in his house. Her mother is a servant of Smith or something."

"I see." The woman snorted coldly, "Seeing her arrogant appearance, I thought she was from a good family. Unexpectedly, she was a nanny's daughter."

her hands that pinched him trembled slightly.

"Most men like the type of her now. Kevin sent her flowers just before, and I heard they've been getting close recently."

"I knew it! It must be Kevin's help that she got promoted to Principal Cellist right after graduation."

"Their relationship is ambiguous. This kind of woman is arrogant on the surface but very coquettish on the inside..."

Women's voices gradually faded away, and the hands holding Brian were also released.

But Brian didn't hurry and left, just looking at her expressionless.

Ivy knew what he was angry about and quickly said, "they're talking nonsense. There's nothing between Kevin and me, really."

Brian narrowed his eyes.

Ivy knew that no matter how much she explained at this time, it was just futile. She stopped talking and looked at him sincerely.

After a while, he finally said, "Fine, I trust you."

She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't go to the celebration party in the evening. I'll take you to another place."

He turned and opened the door of the compartment. "I'll pick you up. Don't run around, understood?"

"But..."

Ivy wanted to say something else, but the man's eyes suddenly became sharp. She had to swallow her words, "Understood."

When Flora took Kate back to the parking lot, the cigarette on the man's finger was halflit.

After seeing them, he quickly put out the smoke and smiled, "Did you give her the bouquet?"

Flora smiled and nodded. Brian didn't say more. He stretched out his hand to help them to open the door and put it on the roof of the car to avoid her being hurt.

Flora whispered her thanks and went to the back seat with Kate with a red face.

When Brian was backing up, Flora said, "Did I waste your time today? I can bring Kate here myself. You are so busy after all..."

"It doesn't matter, and the concert was not bad."

In the rearview mirror, he always kept a smile on his handsome face.

Flora couldn't help blushing. She couldn't help secretly turning back to see him after turning her eyes away.

Kate said mischievously, "Aunt Flora, why are you keep peeking at uncle Brian?"

Her words made Flora's face red immediately, "What are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense, aunt Flora. You're peeking at him!"

The child's honesty embarrassed adults. After biting her lips, Flora couldn't help looking at the driver in front of her.

His face was still with an unperturbed smile, as if he had not been affected by Kate's words at all.

Flora was a little more embarrassed. When she was about to teach Kate a lesson, Kate said, "Aunt Flora, you don't have to be shy. Uncle Brian is so handsome so it's normal that you like to look at him."

"I said I didn't look at him..."

"I also like to look at handsome boys and beautiful girls. Such as Miss Ivy, I like looking at her so much. Well, and Kevin too. But he's acts like you, always likes to look at the person he likes secretly."

The smile on Brian's face suddenly faded, and he suddenly asked, "who's Kevin?"

"It's Ivy's boyfriend! It's the guy who played the piano tonight. I saw him pick up Ivy several times before. Students in the training class said they were..."

Before Kate could finished her words, the front man suddenly turned the steering wheel and the car stopped!

It made Flora and Kate shake forward, and Kate even screamed!

"What's the matter?"

After holding Kate in her arms, Flora looked at the man in front of her with some shock.

The smile had completely disappeared from his face, and his expressionless face was still handsome and gentle, but Flora didn't know why, her heart couldn't help pounding when she was looking at his eyes!

But soon, a smile spread out on his face again, as if his ferocious face at that moment was just her illusion.

"Sorry, it suddenly occurred to me that I have something else to do so I can't send you two back."

After an indifferent explanation, Brian called someone directly.

"Come to the Flower Road and send Miss Brown back."

"Brian......"

Flora wanted to say something, but at that time, Brian had directly opened the gate and got off. After stopping a taxi, he left directly.

he didn't even turn around to look at her during the whole process.

……

As the chief cellist, she couldn't be absent from the celebration banquet.

So Ivy could only send Brian a sincere message, "Our head asked everyone in the band to participate, so I must get there. I promise I will leave there as soon as possible."

After sending this, Ivy thought for a while and added, "I'm sorry, don't be angry, OK?"

The man there didn't reply.

When Ivy was staring at her mobile phone with biting her fingernails, a voice came from the side, "Ivy, who's call are you waiting for? Your boyfriend?"

Ivy raised her head, and Kevin was smiling at her.

Maybe it because of the gossip she heard in the bathroom just now, Ivy just calmly retreated to the side and replied, "No, it's my family."

"I see. Aren't you feeling hot? Why are you still wearing a scarf when you're indoors?"

"I'm afraid of the cold."

Ivy smiled awkwardly, tucking the scarf back around her neck.

She covered Brian's love bite mark on her neck with her hand, when she went backstage just now. It was too obvious. However, Flora saw this when she met her, and she looked at her as a strange sight immediately.

Despite knowing Flora wouldn't find out about her relationship with Brian, Ivy still felt her face burn, as well as her dignity and shame.

"I have something to tell you. Let's go out?"

As Ivy's thoughts were drifting, Kevin spoke suddenly.

"What do you wanna say?" Ivy said blankly.

Kevin just smiled and then went out directly.

Ivy saw around and made sure that no one noticed them. Then she went out with Kevin.

The corridor was quiet. Kevin stood and rested his arms on the railing and wait for her.

Ivy measured the distance and stopped two meters away from him. "Do you have something to say?"

Kevin grinned. "I'm not a terrifying beast, why are you so defensive about me?"

"Sorry, I... I'm just afraid of misunderstanding."

Ivy's words were enough to show her attitude.

Kevin understood and sighed, "Don't worry, I just want to talk to you about studying in the USA. I heard you got an offer letter?"

"Yeah, but now I can't get started."

“Why? Tuition isn't affordable for you, is it?"

After a pause, she nodded.

Indeed, she's got a lot of trouble paying tuition.

"I can help you if you need."

"No, but thanks for your kindness."

After saying that, Ivy turned and was about to leave, but the next moment, Kevin suddenly stepped forward and clasped her wrist!

She was startled by his action and immediately wanted to take out her hand!

Kevin seemed to have made up his mind and just held her hand. "Do you know why I joined the band? I received an offer from a college at USA when we graduated two years ago, but I just wanted to wait for you, I like..."

Suddenly, a sound of a lighter turning on interrupted Kevin's talk.

Others might have no feelings about this, but Ivy did. She shuddered, and when she turned her head, she met the expressionless face of the man.

Her face turned pale instantly, and her hand pulled out from Kevin's hand with force!

Because his love confession was interrupted, Kevin frowned with some displeasure. As he was about to take Ivy to another place, he saw the man slowly spit out a smoke ring and yelled, "Cherry, come here."

Ivy was very shy when she was young, and her face was always red like a cherry, so her mom gave her a nickname, Cherry.

Only Brian and her mom knew this childhood nickname of her.

When there were only Ivy and Brian, he would call her this childhood nickname.

And it was the first time he had called her nickname in front of others.

……

Ivy was extremely nervous to the limit when the car gate locked.

Brian was not in a hurry to drive, his slender fingers gently put on the steering wheel, and his eyes calmly looked ahead.

It took a long time, and then he asked, "So, you want to go abroad with Kevin, don't you?"

Ivy quickly denied, "No, I didn't know he was going abroad. It's just a coincidence!"

"Coincidence?" Brian smiled and turned to look at her, said sarcastically. "The same country and the same college, what a coincidence."

"That college is everyone's dream school, so... It's normal."

Ivy explained, but her voice was getting smaller and smaller, and her eyes didn't dare to look at him anymore. When she dropped her head slowly, he suddenly reached out and clasped her chin!

With a ferocious smile, he clenched his teeth. "Normal?" he asked. "Tell me, is it normal for him to come to the training class to look at you all the time? And you two always flirt with each other on the stage, is it normal?"

When Brian thought of the scene where they were looking at each other just now, he wanted to dig out Kevin's eyes!

He was just a fool!

Who gave him the right to touch his girl? How dare him?

Just a clown he didn't even want to look twice!

Thinking of this, Brian's eyes fell on Ivy's wrist.

that was where Kevin touched just now.

With a sneer, Brian loosened his hand.

Ivy immediately noticed his eyes, so she took out the disinfection paper towel from the car and wiped her wrist.

She did it hard, and the skin was soon rubbed red by her, but she seemed to feel nothing. She used several paper towels and almost wiped off that part of the skin before she looked at Brian.

"Quit this band tomorrow. I can help you if you want to do something big in playing the cello."

At first, Ivy looked at him with a flattering face, but when she heard his words, the expression on her face vanished.

"No."

Her voice was very light but very firm.

"What are you talking about?" He said with an unplesant voice.

"I won't quit the band." Ivy clenched her teeth and said, "there's nothing between Kevin and me, and... I don't need your help."

After her words, the hands of the man around her immediately clenched the steering wheel!

The protruding veins on the back of his hand made Ivy's heart jump, and her body leaned quietly towards the door. After biting the lips, she continued, "Master, you said before you wouldn't interfere with my work."

"I think I gave you too much freedom." Brian suddenly released the steering wheel and smiled at her, "You think you're strong enough to talk back, right?"

"Without me and the Smith clan, where else do you think you and your mom can go? Have you forgotten how your brother died?"

His words made the expression on Ivy's face disappear in an instant!

After Brian smiled with satisfaction, he leisurely pulled out his cigarette and bit, "It's been a while since I went to his cemetery. I wonder if he feels lonely?"

Ivy's tears suddenly fell, and her body trembled more and more.

She wanted to say something but found her throat choked and couldn't say a word.

He quickly cleaned her face with his palm, wiped away her tears heavily, and said, "Cherry, I said I'd protect you, and only I can protect you in this world. Do you truly want to put yourself and your mom in danger just for him?"

"No..." Ivy shook her head constantly, "I really have nothing with him..."

"Well, I believe you." Brian bowed his head and kissed the tears on her face, "But I don't like Kevin. Don't contact him again in the future, ok?"

Ivy could only agree.

Brian kissed her lips in a rewarding way, then directly put her seat flat and put his body on hers, "Time is too late. We'll go back when we're done."

The temperature in the car got higher and higher, then the phone vibrated suddenly.

Seeing the name displayed on the phone, Ivy's expression suddenly changed. When she was about to push him away, Brian pinched her waist. Then, under Ivy's shocked eyes, he directly picked up the phone.

"Hello."

"Brian, it's me."

Flora's voice was clear in the car. Ivy's face became paler and paler. When she was struggling to get up, Brian took a bite directly into her neck socket, and there was an obvious warning in his eyes!

Ivy could only bite her lips tightly and dare not make a sound.

Maybe Flora hadn't received a response for too long. She asked curiously, "Brian?"

"Well, I'm listening."

The man's voice was low and hoarse. He pulled off his tie and tied Ivy's hands.

"Oh... I felt that you were very nervous just now. What happened?"

After considering for a long time, Flora finally asked tentatively.

"It's just a company matter."

"Ok then..."

"Mmmm."

Brian was not in a hurry to hang up the phone. He answered carelessly and looked down at the girl under him.

Her lips were bleeding and her eyes were wet with tears. Her pitiful look made him horny.

"Don't..."

Ivy rubbed her tearful eyes and finally couldn't help humming.

He turned on the microphone, so the sound was clear to Flora.

Flora was obviously silent for a while. After a long time, she asked uncertainly, "Is there anyone around you?"

Brian didn't deny, "Yeah."

A girl?

What were they doing so late?

Did his sudden change of mood have something to do with this girl?

Countless questions came up. Flora wanted to ask, but in the end, she only smiled, "Then I'll leave you to it, Bye."

"Good night."

His voice was still gentle, but he quickly hung up the phone.

Then he leaned down, "Cherry, is it fun?"

Ivy didn't want to answer, she just closed her eyes tightly.

He was not annoyed, just kissed the tears on her cheek, "Do you like it? Why don't you talk?"

Ivy's eyes immediately opened, and then she arched her body directly and bit him on the shoulder!

She didn't dare to do it too hard. She just wanted to vent her anger, but the man on her seemed to worry that she wouldn't bite badly, so he put his shoulder right on her.

"Is it enough? It's my turn now."

He said.

Ivy was so frightened that she immediately loosened her teeth. And He directly bowed his head and bit her lips without hesitation!

……

The mark on the neck could be covered with a scarf, but the wound on the lips couldn't be covered up.

To avoid being seen by her mother, Ivy got up early the next day and wanted to leave the house before she saw herself, but Sarah got up earlier than usual as well. After finishing her work, she just met Ivy who was going out.

"Why do you got up so early today?"

Sarah had been working for the Smith for ten years, so she was used to bowing her waist when talking. And she saw the wound on Ivy's lips because of this habit.

"What happened to your mouth?"

Ivy tried to cover it up, but her hand was soon pulled off.

"It's just an accident." She could only answer in this way.

This clumsy lie was not enough to convince Sarah, but she didn't expose it directly. She just asked, "You've got a boyfriend, haven't you?"

"No." She answered immediately.

Her flustered tone made Sarah smile, "Why are you so nervous? You're 22 and it's normal to have a boyfriend, but you should know him clearly and don't be like me...Do you understand all this?"

Ivy stopped talking, and her fingers unconsciously fastened the strap of the instrument box.

"Would you like something to eat?" She asked her softly again.

Ivy quickly shook her head, "I'm going to rehearse, bye."

After saying that, she pushed Sarah's hand away and walked forward.

She arrived early today. She was the only one in the orchestra's rehearsal room, but when she just finished adjusting the strings, the door opened.

It was Kevin.

When their eyes met, Kevin smiled contemptuously and asked, "Ivy Hill, How much money you could get for one night?"

His words made Ivy shocked, and left her a little at loss.

Kevin walked a few steps closer to her, "Don't you understand? Don't play dumb! I'm asking you, how much he paid you for slept with you one night?"

Ivy still had no expression, but her hand holding the bow suddenly fastened.

"Or you charge him monthly?"

While speaking, the smile on Kevin's face deepened a little, "How much one night? Huh?"

Ivy raised her eyes. After staring at him for a few seconds, she suddenly smiled and replied, "More expensive than your mom."

Kevin's expression suddenly disappeared!

"What the fuck are you talking about?" He shouted.

While speaking, he had kicked over the music stand in front of Ivy!

"Don't play dumb, you fucking bitch! Do you think I don't know anything about you? You did this for money! You are a fucking bitch!" He said angrily.

But Ivy just sat there and looked at him calmly with an impassive expression. It seemed that the vulgar response just now was not from her mouth.

It made Kevin even more enraged. Just when he was about to grab her, a voice came from the door, "What happened? Kevin! Calm down!"

They were his colleagues in the orchestra. When they saw Kevin's aggressive expression, their first reaction was to pull him away, but Kevin pushed them away!

"It's none of your business, get out of my way! Don't play the fuck dumb! Ivy Hill!" He shouted.

Kevin pointed to her and soon remembered something. He looked at more and more people gathered behind him. "Do you guys know? Although she looks so noble, she's not from a rich family at all. She's just a mistress of someone!"

Ivy didn't intend to argue with a madman. And she had bent down to pack up her things, but the next moment, Kevin's voice came again, "As well, her mom is the same! She is also a rotten bitch!"

After his words, the body of Ivy who had closed the instrument box suddenly stiffened. Then she rushed up and grabbed his collar!

She held her hand high, a shining key was in her hand, and its sharp tail was in front of Kevin's eyes!

She didn't attack, not because she stopped, but someone caught her!

"Ivy! Are you crazy!? Let go!"

Ivy didn't answer. Her eyes were still staring at the man in front of her, They were filled with resentment and curse, and her hand holding the key was shaking violently!

Kevin was startled by her, and he couldn't help but step back.

People around Ivy even looked at her in a strange way.

Ivy closed her eyes and released her hand.

She suddenly calmed down, as if the scene just now was just their illusion.

After freeing her hand, she bent down and carried her instrument box, "Sorry, gotta go."

Then, people who had blocked the door made way.

Ivy didn't look up at them and walked forward step by step with the instrument box on her back.

At the moment of walking out of the art building, she took a heavy breath and looked down at her hand.

Still trembling.

Ahead was a subway entrance. She found a place to sit down and opened the instrument box.

The busy morning hour had begun. There were a lot of people around, almost all in a hurry. Her opposite was a breakfast stall selling sandwich. Many would buy some before entering the station. They will eat their sandwiches while rushing to the subway.

There were also a few guys who would stop for several minutes and look at the girl playing the cello at the entrance.

She was wearing a white down jacket and a Beige Scarf that covered her chin. Her head was low, her long black hair was scattered from her shoulders, and the music was low and soothing. She opened the instrument box and put it in front of herself. There were two pieces of money in it. In this digital era, she didn't even put a QR code on her instrument box, she didn't seem to be here for the money.

After a long time. As the owner of the breakfast stall across the street had finally sold out what he had and was about to sit down and listen to a song. Meanwhile, a black Bentley suddenly stopped near the subway entrance. Then, a tall man walked to her side.
