It's been two weeks since that movie night. Things with Kendall and I are still pretty much the same and right now that was fine. I have never been one of those girls that had to have a man to be happy so for right now I was gonna enjoy my life and take whatever opportunities that came my way.

"Ivy, will you please get the conference room set up? The men from Hot Shot Designs are gonna be in here in about an hour. Also, we want you to greet them and sit in on the meeting." Carlos told me. I looked up at him and smiled. They were including me in a lot of the important decisions for the company and it really made me feel like I was another partner instead of the hired help and I really loved them for that.

"Yes sir." I stated and walked towards the conference room before he could fuss at my for calling him sir. I know that we are friends and roommates now but they are still my bosses so at work I try to remain as professional as I possibly can be. I spent the next thirty minutes setting up the chairs and making sure the room was neat and organized and had everything that the representatives from the design company would need was available. I also made sure that I have my notepad ready to take notes of the meeting so I could log everything. Now I was just waiting for the men to arrive. I heard car doors outside and stood ready to greet them. The door opened and two guys that looked to be around the guys age came in. One had dark brown, shaggy hair with bright blue eyes that immediately caught my attention. The other was bald with brown eyes. They both were wearing nice suits. I smiled as they walked in.

"Hello, gentlemen. You must be from Hot Shot Designs. I'm Ivy Hart." I greeted reaching out to shake both of their hands.

"We are. Nice to meet you, I'm Declan Wright and this is my business partner, Greg Newman." Blue eyes responded.

"nice to meet both of you. If you will follow me I will show you to the conference room." I took them in there and showed them where to set up. "Would you like some water or coffee or anything?"

"No, thank you Ivy. All we need is about five minutes to set up." Declan smiled at me and I couldn't help but smile at him. He was pretty gorgeous.

"Alrighty then, I will leave you guys to get ready I will be back in a few minutes with my bosses." With that I stepped out of the room and went to get the guys. I knew they were in James' office. I knocked on the door. "Come in, Ivy." James said with a laugh. I walked in there and couldn't help but giggle slightly. They looked like they were in a football huddle or something.

"The men from Hot Shots are waiting in the conference room so whenever you guys are ready."

Kendall smiled at me and then turned back to the guys, "Let's do this." With that they all got up and followed me into the room. I walked in first, already knowing the order of things.

"Gentlemen, these are my bosses, Kendall Knight, Logan Mitchell, Carlos Garcia and James Diamond." I introduced as all shook hands and the other two introduced themselves. The meeting started and I sat quietly in the corner taking notes and observing. Between their little presentation and questions the meeting took almost an hour. I thought their designs were amazing and if we could find the right fit they would be a good company to work with, or at least that is what I thought.

I watched as the four exchanged looks and I knew that meant they were about to say their goodbyes. I stood and walked towards the door as the men stood and shook hands yet again. "Really nice meeting the both of you and we were really impressed. Give us a couple days to go over some more of these samples and discuss it and then we'll be in touch." Kendall stated.

"Of course. Take your time with your decision. We know it's one you want to make sure is right." Declan responded. There was something about him that made me smile.

"Thank you for taking time to talk with us." Greg stated. They both made their way past me, as they said their last goodbyes. After we were sure that they were gone we all started talking.

"I really like their designs." Carlos stated immediately.

Logan was flipping through one of the booklets they left and I looked with him, they really were impressive.

"If they would be willing to work with us on creating a more unique style then I think we have found the right company." James said with a giant smile on his face.

After a little more discussion I went to check the machine for any calls we missed during the meeting. When I sat down at the front desk I noticed a piece of paper laying there that I was sure was not there earlier.

I picked it up and read it, It was very nice to meet you, Ivy, Hope you have a wonderful day. Then there was a phone number and Declan had signed it. I couldn't control the blush that appeared on my cheeks.

"Ohh, someone made an impression." I heard a voice from behind me causing me to job, I turned and was face to face with a grinning James,

"You scared the crap out of me!" I laughed, then looked down at the note, "He was probably just being friendly. Probably does it with every assistant at these types of meetings." I played it off.

He gave me a look that proved that he was pretty much not falling for my bull.

"Oh please." James scoffed. I looked at him confused.

"What?"

"He was eyeing you the whole meeting."

"Who was eyeing her the whole meeting?" A voice asked, we both turned and saw Kendall walking up to the side of the desk.

"That Declan guy. He left a nice little note on the desk for our Ivy here" James told him, snatching the note from my hands and handing it to Kendall.

Kendall looked at it and laughed, actually laughed.

"What the hell are you laughing at?" I asked starting to really get annoyed by their stupid ways.

They both looked at me in surprise then looked at each other just to burst into laughter once again. "I'm really not getting the joke here."

"It's just funny that he left a note like he is in fourth grade and too chicken to say it upfront that he wants you. Which I'm not sure he even would want you." Kendall explained. I let his words sink in, what the hell was that supposed to me.

"Explain that statement." My tone was serious.

"Well, it's just that he is this really successful guy with a thriving business. What would he want with an assistant at some company that barely has a foot to stand on." He was talking so casually like what he was saying meant nothing.

I just stared at him. I literally wanted to chew his sorry ass out but I couldn't even make myself speak.

"Dude, even I know that was some messed up shit to say." Another voice came through and that was when I noticed that Logan and Carlos were now standing around the desk as well.

The two other guys were nodding in agreement with Carlos while Kendall still looked confused. I stood gathering all my work to take back to my desk, snatched the note from Kendall and went to my office. I quickly shut and locked the door.

I willed myself not to get emotional about what Kendall had said. I knew he had a point but why was is so damn ridiculous that someone may actually be interested in me. After I took a few minutes to cool down I sat in my chair and pulled out my cellphone and decided to call Declan.

The phone rang twice before he picked up.

"Declan Wright."

"Hey, Declan. This is Ivy Hart. You just met me about an hour ago." I started nervously.

He gave a slight chuckle, "Of course. I didn't know if I would hear from you. Especially not this soon."

"Well I figured why not. So, why did you leave me a note? Do you leave all the assistants little notes behind?"

"Nope. Proud to say this is the first time, but it did work in my favor. So, Ivy would you want to get together some time and get something to eat?"

I paused for a moment, Kendall's words playing in my mind. "Absolutely."
