LOGINA few days later, Ava stood confidently at the head of the conference table inside Lin Industries' boardroom.The room was filled with the company's board members.Today, she wasn't standing there as the grieving daughter who had recently lost both parents.The chairman of the board rose from his seat and smiled."On behalf of the board, I want to congratulate Ava Lin for successfully securing the Carson contract."The room immediately filled with applause."Thank you." Ava smiled politely."This is an important deal for Lin Industries. Securing it at a time like this is impressive." Another board member said nodding approvingly."Thank you. I simply did what I believed was best for the company." Ava's smile grew as she spoke.She glanced around the room.For the first time since stepping into her father's company, she could feel some of the board members beginning to see her differently.They were no longer looking at her as the inexperienced daughter who had inherited shares but
The next morning, Ava arrived at Lin Industries expecting nothing but disappointment but the moment she stepped into her office, her assistant came rushing toward her with a huge smile."Miss Lin!""What happened?" Ava asked in suprise."We got the contract!""What?" Ava froze"The contract. They signed it.""But how?" Ava stared at her assistant unable to believe what she just heard."I don't know all the details. I only received the confirmation this morning. They agreed to everything."Ava slowly sat down.She had spent most of the night thinking about what happened at the restaurant. After Mr. Carson's behavior, she had been certain the deal was finished."I thought they would cancel everything after what happened yesterday.""So did I," her assistant admitted. "That's why I was shocked when they called this morning.""This is incredible." Ava said with a smile."It gets even better.""What?" Ava looked up"The investor specifically requested that you be in charge of the enti
The evening had arrived before Ava was ready for it. She stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the hem of her fitted black gown. The dress stopped just above her knees and hugged her curves in a simple but elegant way. She had left her hair loose over her shoulders and used only a little makeup.She wasn't trying to impress anyone,She simply wanted to look confident.Tonight was important.If she could secure the deal, it would prove that she was capable of handling the company despite everything that had happened.Ava picked up her purse and left for the restaurant.When she arrived, her assistant was already waiting for her at the private dining room."You're here," her assistant said, standing immediately."How long have they been here?""About fifteen minutes. They arrived earlier than expected."Ava nodded. "Good. Let's go."The moment Ava stepped inside, the conversations around the table briefly stopped as the investors looked at her.Several of them exchanged glances, cle
The next morning, Ava walked into Lin Industries with a different kind of determination.She had barely slept.Her mother's medical file had been on her mind all night, along with the questions that refused to leave her head but Ava had decided not to let those questions consume her.She trusted Elias to handle the investigation,for now, she had something else to deal with.Her father's company.If Rose wanted to use the clause in the will to keep her away from the position she had inherited, Ava was going to prove that she was ready to take over.She stepped out of the elevator and walked through the office with her head held high.This time, she wasn't just coming to work,She was coming to learn.She wanted to understand every part of Lin Industries. She wanted to know how the company operated, how the contracts were handled, how decisions were made, and most importantly, she wanted the stakeholders to see that she wasn't some inexperienced daughter who had inherited a company sh
Elias sat behind his desk, going through a stack of documents while Mathew stood opposite him with a tablet in his hand."The figures from the last quarter don't match the previous report," Mathew said, scrolling through the documents. "I've asked the accounting department to go through them again.""Do it." Elias responded barely looking up."There is also the matter of the new acquisition..."His phone suddenly rang cutting through the silent office.Elias reached for it without much interest, but the moment he looked at the screen, his expression changed.Ava.His brow lifted slightly,She had never called him before,not once. He stared at the name on the screen for few seconds before answering."Hello?""Hi." Ava's voice was quiet."Are you alright?" Elias asked when he heard her down voice."I'm not sure.""What happened?" His expression hardened as he asked.There was a brief silence before Ava began explaining everything.She told him about meeting Mrs. Belle.She told him what
For several days, Ava had ignored almost every call and message from Jane.She knew she owed her an explanation but after everything that had happened, Ava simply hadn't had the strength to talk.That afternoon, however, she finally agreed to meet her at their usual restaurant.Jane was already seated at their favorite table, tapping impatiently against her phone.The moment she saw Ava, she immediately stood."You finally remembered that I exist.""I'm sorry." Ava gave her a tired smile.Jane's expression softened as she pulled Ava into a hug."Forget it,you've been through enough."They sat down.For a moment, Jane simply looked at her."You look exhausted.""I am."Ava sighed."More than I can explain."Jane reached across the table and squeezed her hand."You don't have to explain everything at once.""But I want to tell you." Ava said looking down.And she did. She told Jane about the funeral,the burial.The moment she had stood alone beside her father's grave.She told her about Eli
"Yes daddy...fuck me hard" "Just like that Jeff... keep going.." Ava had just stepped into the house when she heard the sounds of moaning right from the sitting room. Her legs began trembling and her heart was about to explode but she forced herself to keep walking towards the direction of the s
A week flew by so quickly, the days seems faster when you're alone. It was a Saturday morning and Ava planned on sleeping in cause it was the weekend but her plan was disrupted by a phone call. With sleepy eyes she reached for her phone on the bed side table. It was a call from her father."Ava
It's been two weeks after the incident, Ava had just gotten to the office and about to get settled when she saw an envelope on her desk, she moved to pick it up and is shocked by what she sees. Inside the envelope was a wedding invitation,her sister was getting married to her ex- fiancee. A sur
Ava remained sitting on the bed replaying the last words he said. "You can thank me when we see again". Well she wasn't going to see him again for sure,so she thought.She picked up her phone beside her and saw a lot of missed calls and messages from her best friend, Jane. Jane was the only close
