Chapter 116 - Three boxes of papers (1/2)

Joshua and Noah looked at each other and the boxes that were lying in front of them. It was a lot to take in. There were two boxes and each of them was filled till the top. The two men had thought that Ivy had collected information that may be of a few pages or at least the size of a book. But who knew she had two boxes worth of data.

”Wow, that's a lot to take in,” Joshua commented pulling a box towards him.​​

”Yeah, but there is nothing much worth in it. This is what I have found in the last three years.” Ivy sat on the sofa and wiped her sweat. The boxes were quite heavy, though they were small in size and she had to bring them from her room to the living room. But she did it with ease. The occasional visits to the gym had paid her off today.

At that moment, Aria walked out of her room. She had just finished taking a shower and her hair was still damp. The night duty at the hospital made her feel that she smelt the of the disinfectants used in her hospital. She badly wanted a take a bath and had immediately hopped in the bathroom to take one as soon as she had entered her house.

”Wow, Ivy that's a lot of papers.” She said in surprise, looking at the box of papers. She did not know her sister had collected so much information.

The three people looked in the direction from where the voice came. Aria was looking at them innocently. But the scene in front of him made Noah gulp. She looked so s_e_xy in her casual and homely dress that he was having a hard time controlling himself. The fact that she had come out after taking a shower was not helping him either. Her flushed face made her look like an apple and he just wanted to take a bite.

”Yeah, but there is nothing quite significant in it,” Ivy replied.

”Wait. I have something too.” Aria said and ran inside her room.

Ivy blinked and looked at Joshua and Noah. While Noah raised her eyebrows, Joshua shrugged his shoulders. How would he know what Aria wanted to do?

After a minute or two, Aria returned pushing a small box towards the hall. It was stacked with papers. It was of the same size as that of the boxes Ivy had brought. From the looks of it, everybody knew what the papers in it were. But Ivy still asked to make sure.

”Aria, what is this all about?”

”Ivy, this is what I have found in the last three years. I thought this could help.”

”Why didn't you tell me about this?”

”Well, since I found nothing worth mentioning, I didn't say a thing.”

As Jo and Noah heard the two sisters talk, they were quite surprised that they were able to find out a lot of information. Though the sisters thought the information to be insignificant, they felt that they would be able to find something related to what they wanted.

”So shall we start?” Joshua intervened.

”Yes. You guys start, I'll get you some coffee and some snacks.” Aria said and went towards the kitchen.

Noah stood up looking at Aria go to the kitchen. He had been silent the entire time watching her speak. Now he was unable to control himself and since the opportunity had presented itself before him, how could he not grasp it?

”Noah, where are you going?” Jo asked looking at him stand up. Hearing his dumb question, Noah wanted to smack his forehead while Ivy felt like slapping some sense into him.

”Noah, you go,” Ivy spoke and glared at Joshua.

Noah smiled at her gratefully. At least he had an intelligent sister-in-law unlike his dumb friend who couldn't grasp the situation. Without giving Joshua a second glance, he went to the kitchen.

”What is happening?” Joshua asked looking at Ivy giving him a glare.

”I did not know you were an idiot.”

”What do you mean?” He furrowed his eyebrows. It was the first time someone had called him an idiot. Who was he? A genius hacker and a video game designer. How dare Ivy call him an idiot?
