LOGINAva's POV I'm back to real life and I'm trying to get used to it even though I knew I had to. Getting back into the normal routine was not hard. The hard part was knowing that there was a possibility that all of this would not happen again. It was fun while it lasted. But then, I pushed the thought back to my mind as I concentrated on the work in front of me. We moved into a new space in the office and I was loving the feeling of sitting with four other people in the team including Miss B to make five of us. “Ava, you would be accompanying Blake to a photoshoot and interview after that.” Miss V’s voice but through to me. I didn't think seriously of what she said until it dawned on me. “What? Why would I do that, if I may ask? I'm not the one in charge of him.” I rushed out. The guy and I were not on the best of terms so it would be better to stay away from each other. “Exactly why you're the best person for the job. You don't have anything on your schedule for tomorrow. And Phi
Ava's POV The dining table was quiet as we ate until Qin broke the silence. “I brought your car back in one piece by the way.” She said and Liam grunted. “As you should have.” He said. “You didn't tell me you had a girlfriend now, Liam.” And here goes nothing. I had already been expecting her to bring the matter up. But since we were halfway through dinner, I thought, somehow, that she would actually drop it. “Humm…yeah. Ava is my girlfriend. And the woman that I plan to marry.” He said. I blanched and somehow, the food got stuck in my throat and I coughed. It was synonymous to Hazel saying, “What??!” I was sure that her eyes were wide. But from the way I was feeling at the moment, I could not even look at her. “Hey. Calm down.” He was beside me and I could feel his hand gently going down my back in an attempt to make me feel better.After a few minutes, I was able to push the piece of rice that stuck in my throat and I turned to face him. “What….w..what are you even saying?
Ava's POV She's rude. I raised my eyebrows and I walked further into the kitchen. Leaving the entrance. “Hum, that should be my line. Who are you and what are you doing here?” I asked, leaning on the kitchen island and I watched the way her eyes rolled. “I know Liam does not bring anyone here. So, that could only leave me to one guess. Are you his girlfriend by any chance?” She asked me. I didn't like the tone of familiarity she called his name with. As though they were close or something like that. “If that would make you feel better, yes. I'm Liam's girlfriend. And that does not answer the question I asked you.” Before she could reply, Qin walked into the kitchen and clapped her hands together which kind of brought our attention to her. “I see you've met each other. Hazel, meet Ava, Liam's girlfriend. And Ava, this is my dear daughter, Hazel.” She said as she came to stand beside me. My eyes went back to her daughter who I got to discover that her name was Hazel. “Oh…. So, y
“Get me arrested then darling.” He laughed and pulled me out of the room laughing. I wanted to bite his head. But then, I followed him because I had no other choice than to. “When will Qin be back?” I asked as we stepped outside the house. “Maybe tomorrow. Since we are leaving tomorrow, she should be back by then.” He said, rolling in hands and feet in an attempt to get ready. I did not want to leave here though. It was like leaving the bubble that we had created into real life. “We can always come back, you know.” He said. “How do you always know what I'm thinking in my head? You're like an intrusive thought.” I said and he laughed. I continued to look at him as he warmed up. I'm not entirely clueless about how exercises go. I've seen people do it. And I knew that I could. I was just a lazy ass. Thank goodness this would only be happening once. “Not once, babe. Definitely not once. I've had a plan drawn up. I'll show you later. We would meet at a particular route every two day
Ava's POV “Thank you so much for today. You have no idea how much it means to me.” I told him as I made myself comfortable on his chest, getting nearer to him like I actually wanted to enter him. He grunted. “It's not a big deal. And I told you not to say thank you to me again. I don't like it.” “I can't help it.” “Try to. You've said it like one million times already.” He said. “That's a stretch and you know it.” I hit his chest playfully. “You hurt me.” He said. “But on a serious note, thank you very much. With you involved in the whole thing, I have a feeling that it would all get resolved and I would have my friend out of that toxic marriage soon.” “We still don't know that. We are only going to be having a conversation with the man. That's all. We give him our terms, and he must accept it. At the end of the day, they all have to listen to their bosses.” He said casually. It took a while for me to process what he was saying and I raised my head sharply and pinned him a l
“Fuck this.” In my peripheral vision, I saw Liam pull Mason away. To talk maybe. I did not know what they were talking about. But they were there for a couple of minutes. *****When they came back, we were all sitting at the dining table. Mason was opposite me, and Liam was sitting beside me. I was not expecting the whole thing to take a dip like this very soon. “If it would make anything better, I did not go through your phone, or anything. The program I installed only came on when you had a call. And anytime it was not her, I skipped it.” He said. He sounded a little better now. Not biting like earlier. “I'm sorry. She didn't want to tell you anything.” I said. “I know. I heard it from the call you guys had the other day. I wish she could have trusted me more with the whole thing.” He said. “She regretted leaving like that and hurting you in the way she did.” Since he already knows, how about I try to paint her and make her look good in front of him as much as I could? “She di
Ava's POV Determining and doing were two different things. In my head, I had it all planned out. My game plan of staying away from the man that consumed most of my thoughts these days. To make sure that I was down, I put structure to how my day would go around the pitch. That I only go there when
Ava's POV I bit my lip nervously as I walked behind my dad. I expected Ethan to have followed me given what he did when we were in the conference room. But he didn't, and that made me feel a little bit better. Dad pushed his office door open harshly and I was thankful that I was on the look out,
Liam's POVI wanted to punch something. Preferably, someone. My blood boiled in my veins as I tightened my fists and tried my possible best to hold it together. It took everything in me not to look over at Ava's direction on the other side of the room. I don't want to see the look of regret on her
Ava's POV “Finally.” I clicked on post and I stretched. Immediately I got home, I threw myself into the editing of the videos I took and the goal was to post it fast so as to make the people have something else to gobble up and to reduce the impact of their video that was trending. I tried as muc
