Noah stood behind Ivy and glanced at Teo having the same thoughts as Ivy, "Look after her and do not let anything harm her while I am gone."

Teo gulped and nodded quickly," Sure boss, I won't let anything happen to Ivy… ever." He wouldn't let Ivy out of sight while Noah was gone, he suddenly felt uneasy with the weight of responsibility in his hands.

Noah turned to Ivy and kissed her forehead before striding out of the penthouse. He never glanced back as he felt Ivy watching him leave. If he looked back he knew he probably would miss his flight, she was drug and he was addicted to her.

Aiden nodded at Ivy," Take care and please be safe." he then rushed to catch up with Noah. Luckily he had carried the bags down to the car already he thought.

Once Noah had left the penthouse Ivy stood and watched the door close before she turned to look at Teo.

Teo seeing her look like a lost kitten he walked to the kitchen and brought her coffee and a double chocolate chip breakfast muffin. He held them out to her and saw her finally smile, he was relieved and glad he had lived with his mother for so long, he now knew what to give women when they were sad.

"What's with the chocolate chip breakfast muffin?" Ivy asked as she took the offered coffee and breakfast muffin.

"I thought you may be sad when Noah left, when my mum is sad she likes tea and chocolate. But you don't really drink tea, you drink coffee and.." Ivy interrupted him by laughing.

"Okay don't explain anymore thank you and I am not sad. I'm free to play for a few days." Ivy sat on the sofa and started to eat her muffin.

Teo was instantly concerned he followed her to the sofa and sat opposite her and asked, "Play?... But."

Ivy took a drink of coffee and replied, "It's okay we can both have fun."

"Fun? I don't want to have fun." Teo shook his head and wanted to refuse any and all fun she had planned for them both. He would prefer if she would just stay at home or go to work, but it looked like Ivy had other plans. His life saviour was really a lot of trouble. He was sure Noah would kill him when he returned if he couldn't keep her out of mischief.

"Don't look so scared, it will be safe fun." Ivy continued to eat her double chocolate chip muffin and drink her coffee. "Thanks, the muffin and coffee actually helped a lot. Auntie has raised her son right." Ivy felt happy and slightly spoiled, she was lucky to have such amazing people surround her.

"So what's the plan for today?" Asked Teo.

Ivy finished her coffee, placing the cup on the table before standing up heading for the bedroom, "You'll see. But take it easy we won't be going anywhere till the evening.'' With that said Ivy walked into the bedroom and closed the door.

Teo panicked and took out his phone and quickly sent a message to Thomas, he needed advice. He didnt realise that Ivy would be this much of a handful, how did Thomas cope.

Thomas sat in his office which was just across the hall from Noah's office. He had been at work from 5 AM, he felt the weight of the responsibility that Noah placed in his hands and he didn't want any mistakes so he had got there early and so far everything had been running smoothly.

He pinched his glabella and his phone beeped alerting him to a message. He picked up his phone and noticed it was a message from Teo he smiled. Reading the message he sensed that The young guard was panicking already, he smiled and sent a reply quickly.

Beep

Teo was holding his phone waiting for this reply. He opened the message quickly.

(Good luck!)

Teo was at a loss for words, was that it? was that all the advice that Thomas had to give him. He rang Thomas's phone but he didn't answer. He sent another message to him quickly.

(What do I do?)

Beep… It was Thomas's reply.

(Figure it out ;) )

Thomas had actually sent him a winking face!

Teo put his phone away and sighed as he stared at Ivy's closed door. He contemplated locking her in the penthouse all weekend but soon brushed off that idea. she would only kick the door open then kill him.

Arriving at the airport Aiden and Noah had arrived at the VIP landing strip but they had not managed to avoid the paparazzi. There were a few waiting and had snapped pictures of Noah leaving. On the plane, Aiden sat across from Noah and he handed him an Epad they both started to work as the plane took off.

Aiden silently prayed for Ivy to be safe as he felt uneasy leaving her, he felt something bad would happen while Noah was away. The paparazzi would soon leak the pictures, so he sent an email to a few tabloids to stop the photos from leaking. It would be detrimental if their enemies knew where Noah was going and also that his territory was without its leader.

Noah of course had no such fears, anyone who tried to encroach on his territory would be met with swift failure. Also, he knew Aiden and Thomas both had everything covered.

Noah had been working silently when he suddenly stopped and looked up at Aiden, "Cole and Lauren?"

The sudden question alerted Aiden and he set down his tablet replying," I have checked in with the Doctors at the Asylum Lauren is a handful and they are sedating her each time she acts out or tries to run away. As for Cole, he got out of the hospital yesterday and I have two guards posted outside his mother's house where he is staying. I would say he will be licking his wounds for a while."

"Good, keep me posted." Noah nodded and continued to read the document on his Epad.

"Yes Sir," Aiden replied and picked up his tablet again, continuing his work.
