"We will cback tomorrow, then. If you still like it tomorrow, we will buy it." Layla wanted to take Ivy to a few more stores so that she would have the best dress.

The two exited the store and Layla took Ivy to a barbeque restaurant.
"I don't think you've had a barbeque since you chome, have you?" Layla giggled. "Our parents really value their health in recent years, but Dad never quite liked barbeque. He thinks that it's not nutritious and unsanitary. He has always preferred plainer food, and Mom is slightly better. She could take spicy food from tto time." Ivy had been spending most twith her parents and all meals she had taken were balanced meals and she was content with it, as even nutritious meals could be delicious. However, the moment she heard the word 'barbeque', her mouth started salivating. "What about Hayden?" Ivy asked.
"Hayden is just like Dad. The two of them were nemeses and Hayden hated Dad for a really long time, only to end up becoming the exact replica of Dad. They even have the staste for food," Layla mocked. "Robert and I are normal compared to them so we always sneak out for barbeques." Amused, Ivy asked, "should we call Robert along, then?" "Just the two of us." Layla glanced through the menu and asked, "do you want ice-cream? The ice-cream here is great, too!" Ivy nodded without hesitation. "Won't you get a stomach-ache from eating barbeque and ice-cream at the stime?" "I've done so multiple times and I've been fine! Maybe I just have a strong stomach. You can wait for a bit after you finish your food later before having the ice-cream." "Sure." After ordering, Layla pointed at the scenery outside the window. "Look at that building with a globe on top..." Ivy stared into the distance and spotted the building.

When our grandmother was pregnant with Mom, he cheated on her. Fortunately, he left the company to Mom in his will before passing away." Ivy listened attentively.
"Ms. Tate!" Someone cover to their table. "It really is you. I thought I had the wrong person!" It was an employee of Tate Industries.
Layla turned to look at the group behind the man and asked, "why are you having dinner at this time?" "We just got off work." The man scratched his head, his eyes darting between Ivy and Layla. "Ms. Tate, we don't disturb you and your friend." Layla hummed in response and once the group of people left, she called for the waiter and said, "I'll pay for that table later." The waiter noted her request and left.
"Layla, do you know them?" Layla shook her head. "There are too many employees in the company, from but I remember that they are the Research and Development Department. They work overtall the time. I don't encourage that, but I can't stop them from doing it either." Ivy nodded.
"I plan on buying an apartment around this area." Layla changed the subject. "After we go shopping for dresses tomorrow, cwithfor apartment hunting." "Sure! Do we need to tell Mom and Dad?" "I'll tell them after I buy the apartment, so that they can't stop me."
