Falling in Love : I love you, Today and Forever

Chapter 548 - Loved To Tease

Max sat beside Noah as he waited for him to reveal the next step in their plan to be executed. However, all Noah did was sit silently as he stared at his interlocked fingers. His face was completely unreadable, and for a moment, Max wondered if something had gone wrong after their splendid broadcast the previous night.

"Mr. Carter, what do we do now? What should we telecast today?" Max took a breath, mustering all his courage to ask the question that was bugging everyone's mind, while Ivy just sat with a carefree expression.

She was the only one who did not stress this matter, for she trusted Noah to take care of everything diligently. She was more worried about the task Noah had handed over to her as it was quite difficult to brush off the seeds of suspicions from the others when they would find out about her knowing the identity of their Vice President. How could she reveal to them that he was none other than her father, who to the world is currently missing or expired even?

Noah bit his cheek before he lifted his head and stared at the people in front of him. "Although I would like to go ahead and reveal all the crimes Jared and his men have committed, I have got orders from President Luis Truman to stay put for the time being. Until we receive any word from him, I cannot go ahead and reveal anything else about Jared."

This caused a commotion to erupt in the meeting room. Although the others seemed confused by President Truman's words and orders, they did not question about, waiting for Noah to continue. It was he who decided what to do next, especially when the matter was huge and explosive, dangerous even.historical

"We will continue with the news we are broadcasting currently at 8 p.m. slot."

"What about the other slots, Mr. Carter?" Kira questioned. The previous night's heavy disclosure about the crimes at the hospitals had kept their channel running, constantly keeping tabs on what was happening at all the hospitals and how frantic the people had become. Also, the President's live press conference too had reduced some of their burdens. But they could not continue with the same news forever. Or else, it would only bore their audience, and the matter would die even before Jared received his retribution.

"I will speak to the Vice President of our agency and see what he intends next. By then, we can interview some of the victims of this crime so that we can pressure the government into dealing this matter quickly lest the public should start doubting them." Noah stated with a solemn expression.

As soon as Ivy heard his plan, she sat up straight. She realized his intentions and what he wanted to obtain by putting pressure on the government. This was the quickest method they could use to force Luis Truman to make a decision, and if he was wise enough, he would choose the correct decision. Also, Noah wanted to see what the man's choice would be. Would be selfish and decide to give up on his people, or would he sacrifice himself for the justice that has been delayed for a long time?

Ivy secretly praised Noah for his quick thinking and was certain her father too would approve of his decision. The man sure knew how to get work done. He was too smart for anyone else to compel him into submission.

But Ivy knew one person who could force him into a corner and make him drop to his knees, and that was her sister, Aria. She was the only one who could defy him and get away without getting anything else but his unconditional love in return from him. And the man too loved her defiant self to give a damn about it, indulging and pampering her until she was spoiled rotten. Though helpless, all Ivy could do was bless the blissful couple with wide smiles.

"With the chaos that had erupted, we can easily find the people who are willing to give us interviews. Find the ones who have suffered greatly and make sure that they are not lying. We do not want to be criticized for not being professional and honest." Noah warned, and the first person Ivy could think about was Linda, who right now was still in jail or that was where she assumed her to be.

'I should have kept an eye on her.' Ivy cursed herself for not keeping herself updated about the woman who had played her well. Though she still did not trust Linda, she hoped to find out a few things from her; and this time, he made a vow to not let her play her like she did the previous time.

"And I have another announcement to make." Noah's eyes immediately snapped to Ivy's, who started to have an ominous feeling about what lay ahead for her, even though she already knew about it. Her sweet and absolutely not innocent brother-in-law was pushing her towards a mob that would rip her apart with a series of questions for which she had no answers.

Ivy was never the one who craved attention. But her situation would not only pull all eyes on her, she would even have the spotlight on her from on. She glared at her devil brother-in-law she was stuck with, only to see him smirk at her.

"I will not be attending the agency next few days. All my work will be handled by your Vice President. He will take all the decisions from now on." Noah deliberately gave away whom to expect to be their Vice President. Now they knew that it was a 'he' who held the authority. But they were still far from knowing who he actually was.

"If you have any concerns, you can contact him directly. He will guide you through the next set of plans. I will share his number with all of you."

Ivy was just about to sigh in relief on finding Noah not take her name when the devil's eyes glanced at her, making her body go rigid in worry. 'Did I sigh in relief too soon?'

"And if you have anything important that you want to convey to him and he is unavailable, you can take it up to Ivy. She will convey it to him." Noah raised an eyebrow playfully at her.

'Definitely too soon.' Ivy gave him a threatening look, promising to take care of him later. But all Noah did was shrug his shoulder lightly, not caring about his look of fury. He found it absolutely amazing to tease her. Both the sisters gave incredible reactions to being teased, and he loved doing all the more so just to get them riled up.

While Aria looked freaking endearing that was enough to turn him on and make him want to eat her up, Ivy's furious face reminded him of a hamster. Irrespective of how annoyed she was with him, he found her cute and amusing. And being the big brother he was, all he wanted was to tease her more just to evoke more reactions from her.

All pairs of eyes shifted towards Ivy, and they had the same questions swirling in them. If not for Noah's imposing presence, they sure would have jumped to question her.

"Does anybody have any questions?" Noah queried, and Ivy was just about to raise her hand when he got up and buttoned his suit. "If there is nothing else, I will be leaving now. Ivy will share the Vice President's details. Have a good day everyone."

Noah smiled at them and left the room, leaving Ivy to deal with the curious crowd herself.
