Ava smiled at that and reached out to replace her phone on the table. She was sure Hunter would skin Alex alive if he heard about what happened tonight. " Dumbass, were you planning on telling him before? " There came her intrusive little lady. Ava just rolled her eyes, too occupied with the thoughts of her boss to banter words with her inner voice. Her hands accidentally brushed her breasts and she got reminded of when he sucked her titties. Damn, the guy really knew how to satisfy a woman, she would give him that. She fell asleep thinking and fantasizing about him. ***********************" Good morninggg! " Ava greeted cheerfully as she entered the kitchen and Maggie replied with the same energy. " Good morning sweetheart, did you sleep well? " She asked and a smile was evident on her face. Ava nodded gayly " Yeah yeah, I had a good night rest "Maggie nudged her by the elbow lightly " And how was your date? Did he play the perfect gentleman? " She asked and he
He grabbed his jacket and put it on before picking his phone from the table and after looking around to make sure he forgot nothing, he walked out of his office and met Emily waiting for him. He arrived at the restaurant and immediately sighted the Miss Lauren at a table. He recognized her immediately because she was a popular figure. " Hello " He said when he got to the table. She looked up from her phone and a slightly surprised look crossed over features" Hi " She replied with a warm smile. If Alex could guess correctly, she should be in her late 30s or so. She was a brunette of average height and her high bone cheeks looked outstanding. She was beautiful in a wild way. Enough assessment, Alex thought and focused on what brought him to the restaurant. " Did I keep you waiting? Have you been here for long? " He asked politely and slowly withdrew his hand from hers because it seemed she wasn't ready to let go of him. Lauren noticed that her touch made him feel uncomfortable and

" Oh okay, we'd have to take Liam along though because his father is not back " She said. " No no, we don't have to go today, there's always a next time " He said smoothly. Ava frowned " Why did you come here if it wasn't important? " He shook his head, wise enough not to fall into her trap again " I answered that already, Ava " There was a slight warning in his tone. She nodded and turned away " Okay then, I'm going to get Liam so he doesn't run too far " She said over her shoulders and made to leave but again, Alex stopped her" Why do you want to leave me so bad? Are you trying to avoid me? " He asked. Now it was her turn to look at loss for words as she stared at him, not knowing what to say. " No not at all, why would I avoid you ? Do I have a reason to do that? " She finally answered, her voice threatening to fail her at first. Alex shook his head " No, I'm sure you don't have any reason to avoid me " He sounded disappointed. He didn't know if he should be happy that no o
Alex was working in his office when a call came through. He didn't think twice before he declined it. He sighed and continued working. Emily knocked and a second later, the door opened and she came in. " Here are the files you asked for, sir " She placed some files on his table and made to leave but Alex called her back. " I don't want to be disturbed by anyone, anyone at all, okay? " He told her and she nodded. Then Alex dismissed her. His phone beeped, notifying him of a text message. He checked who sent it to him but it was from an unknown number. Frowning, he read the content anyway. A minute later, he banged his fist on the table in rage as he read the text again. " I'M GOING FOR YOUR WEAKNESS NEXT, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS, RIGHT? SIT BACK AND WATCH. YOU'LL NEED SOME POPCORN TOO " It was clear these people were taunting him and he thought about his weakness they thought they knew and smiled. He didn't have any, or did he? The image of a blue eyed lady came to his mind and he s
Black somehow knew what was about to happen and took action immediately. He took another route, his plan was to block their way so he could rescue Ava before it was too late. He called Alex to inform him of his plan. " Mr Alex, I think things are about to get dangerous " He said calmly even though the situation was anything but calm. Alex flew from his chair in panic " Get dangerous?! Why?? What's happening?! "Black sighed " It seems the guy is trying to take Miss Ava to heaven knows where and I need to stop him before it's too late. I'm not fully armed at the moment so I need to stop this before it gets out of hand "Alex nodded " Good good " He said but his heart was in a race. He couldn't think well as the only thing in his head was saving Ava by all means, keeping her safe from the bad guys. " So what happens now and how will you go about it without startling her or making it obvious that we know their plan? They may become dangerous if they get any hint that we're well aware
Ava didn't wait for him to finish his sentence as she grabbed her bag from Hunter's car and ran to Black's car in a blink of an eye. Before Hunter knew what hit him, Black and Ava left him standing and zoomed off in his ( Black's ) car. As they drove away, Ava looked back to see Hunter still standing rooted to the spot and looking lost. She exhaled a long sigh of relief and closed her eyes, fatigue consuming her. " I'm sorry if I startled you but it was the only way of saving you " Black said quietly and Ava nodded, too tired to say anything. Black sent Alex a text that everything was okay, including Ava. Ava studied him for some minutes before speaking " Can you tell me what's going on please? I don't understand a thing here "Black cleared his throat " I'm afraid I can't do that, just know that you're safe now. The boss will narrate everything to you later "Ava didn't even try to persuade him to say anything because she somewhat knew he wouldn't breathe a word unless he told to
He reached out to touch her arm lightly and asked her " Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere? " Ava didn't answer immediately because her brain didn't register the questions. Her mind and body were focused on where he touched her and all she could think about was his hand on her. Her body reacted to the contact through the thin line of clothing and she wondered what it would have felt like if he had touched her naked skin. Slowly, she came back into presence when Alex shook her gently " Hey, are you okay? You look flushed "Ava chuckled inwardly, thinking the word flushed wasn't even close to how she thought she looked " Yeah yeah I'm good, I'm okay " She nodded and even flashed him a small smile. He looked unconvinced " Are you sure? " He asked again. Ava sighed and nodded again. This time, it was slow " I'm really okay, Alexander " She had said those words before she realized what she said and her eyes widened. She slapped her hand on her mouth as though doing that would prevent
