"No means no." Ivy almost yelled in frustration. She sighed as she looked at the daunting man, who was not affecting her in any way, sitting in front of her.
"Ivy, please try to understand. This is to ensure your safety. Please."
"No, Joshua. I cannot come and stay at your house. It will not be right."
"Ivy, I am not asking you to be in a relationship with me. I am just asking you to stay with me at my house. We can be roommates, you see."
"But.."
"Also, you will have the guest room to yourself. What is there to worry about?" He added trying to sway her stubborn mind to accept his offer.
Ivy narrowed her eyes unable to believe the man's audacity. Early in the morning, Ivy had decided that she had had enough of the bastard Tim lurking around her. Fearing him and his possible attempts to harm her, Ivy could not stay at home forever and she was not the one to do it either. So, she had made up her mind to leave her house and go meet her friends to prepare for their agenda.
