I turned and went into the walk in closet.

I picked a blue silk nightgown and slipped into it. As I turned, my eyes landed on the dressing table.

I paused.

My complete skincare was on it. Not something similar or close. They were the exact brands I used.

I walked closer to the table slowly.

“Lucien." I breathed, but there was a smile on my lips. "You’re actually insane."

He paid attention, too much of it.

I sat down and started my routine, taking my time. It always calmed me, gave me somet

  • My CEO brother wants me    Chapter 79

    AVAI woke up feeling… off.At some point in the night, I could have sworn someone held me, but the other side of the bed was neat and without a single crease or sign that anyone had touched it.I sat up slowly, still frowning. “Maybe I imagined it.”That made sense because last night I wasn’t able to rest well.After leaving his study, I had gone back to the room, picked up those files again and worked late into the night. I tried to focus, I really did, but my mind kept drifting back to the argument.I shook my head, pushing the thought away. I reached for my phone to check the time because my alarm still hasn't rang. Maybe I woke up early.The screen lit up.7:52 AM.I froze. “What?!”I jumped out of bed immediately. “I’m late. I’m actually late!”Everything turned into chaos.I rushed into the bathroom and turned on the shower without thinking.“Why today of all days…”The water hit my skin, but I didn’t even process it. My mind was already racing ahead, time, traffic, Olivia, tho

    AVAI turned and went into the walk in closet.I picked a blue silk nightgown and slipped into it. As I turned, my eyes landed on the dressing table.I paused.My complete skincare was on it. Not something similar or close. They were the exact brands I used.I walked closer to the table slowly.“Lucien." I breathed, but there was a smile on my lips. "You’re actually insane." He paid attention, too much of it.I sat down and started my routine, taking my time. It always calmed me, gave me something normal to hold onto after a long day.When I finished, I headed downstairs.Just as I stepped into the living area, the butler spoke. “The files are on the table near the entrance, ma’am.”I walked over and saw them neatly arranged. “Thank you.”I picked them up.“Madam,” he called again.I turned.“What would you like for dinner?”“I’m not really hungry,” I said honestly.He gave a polite smile. “You should still eat something.”I sighed. “Fruits should be fine, then.”“Very well. I’ll hav

    AVAI packed up quickly, arranging the files I had worked on and separating the ones left. Then I picked up my bag and the remaining documents and stepped out.The floor was almost empty, making my heels echo even louder as I walked to the elevator.A few other staff joined the elevator, their conversations low and tired.I kept to myself, moving quietly to the underground parking.I spotted the car immediately. A driver stood beside it, not Ben this time. He bowed. “Good evening, madam.”“Good evening.”He then opened the door for me and I got in.Lucien was already inside. He watched me as I settled.I gave him a small smile. “Hi.”“How are you?” he asked. His tone sounded awfully distant.“I’m fine.”He hummed, then tapped on the glass. The driver got in immediately and started the car.Lucien leaned back, closing his eyes, resting his head like he was exhausted and didn’t want to talk.I frowned, that wasn’t like him. “Is everything okay?” I asked.He opened his eyes slowly and lo

    AVAI had just gotten into the flow again when I heard a knock on the door.“Come in.” I said without looking up.The door opened and I lifted my head to see Steve. He looked at me, then at the files spread across my desk.“You’re not going for lunch?” he asked.I gave a small smile and gestured at the pile. “Olivia gave me all this. I have to submit everything by tomorrow.”His brows furrowed as he fully entered the office, closing the door behind himself. “You’re not supposed to be working on these. Not as the assistant HOD.”I leaned back and sighed. “I know, but the HOD clearly already has a problem with me as you can see.”He glanced at the files again, then back at me. “I can help you." I blinked. “Really?”He nodded. “Yes.”I tilted my head to the side. “Won’t that disturb your lunch break?”He shook his head. “I’m not hungry.”I hesitated. “And your work?”“I’m done for the day.”That made me raise a brow. “So soon?”He gave a small shrug. “Our team doesn’t have much to do ri

    AVAThe line went dead.I dropped the receiver back in place, picked up my phone and slipped it into my bag, then stood up.Game on.When I got to her office, I knocked.“Come in.”I opened the door and stepped inside.Olivia didn’t look up immediately. She was flipping through some files unhurriedly. Then she finally glanced at me.“Close the door.”I did.She pointed to a stack of documents on her desk.“Take those.”I walked forward and picked them up. It was… a lot.My brows lifted, but I said nothing.“You’ll go through them,” she continued, leaning back in her chair, “and submit a full report by tomorrow.”Tomorrow?I looked at her, but made sure my face stayed calm. “Noted.”Her eyes flicked over me again, she probably was expecting for resistance. When she didn’t get any, she continued.“You’re supposed to go through proper training before assuming this position,” she said, her tone sharpening slightly. "But for some reason, management decided to skip that step and place you d

    AVAThe moment I stepped into the building, I slowed down.Even though I had been here before, it still felt overwhelming.Everything was so big and polished. The floors shined, the walls looked expensive and people moved around all dressed in black or blue suits. You would almost think it was a law firm.I just stood there, taking it in, then I whispered to myself. “Okay…you can do this.” I straightened my shoulders and walked to the reception desk.As I got closer, I noticed it wasn’t the same woman who attended to me the last time I came here. That day, Ben had come to get me himself and had even called me madam right there. I was sure the receptionist had put things together after that. But this one was different.Good.I walked up to the desk.“Good morning,” she said politely. “How may I help you?”“Good morning,” I replied. “My name is Ava Harley. I’m to resume today as the assistant head of the Department of Investment and Stock.” I made sure to use the name grandpa told me

    AVABy the time we finished eating, the tension in my chest hadn’t fully gone away, mostly because of him.Lucien stood up first, picking up his phone. “Let’s go.”I blinked, looking up at him. “Go where?”He looked at me like the answer should be obvious. “To work.”My browed furrowed. “You can go

    AVALucien's jaw set.“Why?” he asked in a very low voice. “Why would you want to hide our relationship when we’re getting married in a few weeks?”I let out a short breath before responding. “It’s not about hiding it. It’s just… I’m starting work tomorrow. I don’t want unnecessary attention.”"Wit

    AVAThe table was already full of dishes laid out neatly, steam rose up in the air but nothing had been served yet. Lucien pulled out a chair for me.“Thank you,” I smiled, murmuring as I sat. He then took the seat beside me.As I adjusted my dress, I caught the look between Seraphina, Alaric, and

    AVAWhen I stepped outside, I saw Lucien's car parked at the entrance.I could tell he'd already sighted me because he came out of the car.He was dressed simply in a grey t-shirt and perfectly ironed black pants. But somehow, he still looked so good. He walked to the passenger side and stood by t
