"this way, miss

Chapter 7: "this way, miss"

Ava stared at the dead screen for a while. This man is really unbelievable. He did not even wait for her response before he ended the call. That's not the important thing right now, though. She needed to get herself out of the trouble she was in. She quickly sent her address to the number. The man might change his mind if she took too long before sending the account number to him.

Some minutes later. Seven cars stopped in front of Ava. Several bodyguards got out of the car. A look of surprise crossed Ava's eyes. Who are these people? Their faces are so frightening. Did they come for her life? Did Henry send them to take her life? Or is it her family? No. There is no way it will be any of them. They are not rich enough to be able to hire all these men. Or is it Mr Andrew? 

No, he is not the one. Mr Andrew would rather send some hooligans to get her, not these rich bodyguards. Or is it...

"Miss, please get in the car." One of the men in the black suit said. Interrupting her thoughts. He opened the car door for her to enter.

Ava seemed to be in a daze for a moment and shock was written all over her face. "Who are you people? Who sent you?" She asked. Hugging her back tightly as if her life depends on it. Her eyes scanned the men from head to toe. Everything about the men was screaming luxury. Though She didn't know much about design, she's sure their suits are very expensive. There is no way the Smith family would be able to hire them.

The bodyguards exchanged glances before one of them finally replied "We are not in the position to answer your question. Can you please get in the car first?" 

"Okay," Ava replied and walked over to them. She entered the car and the bodyguard closed the car door. He got in the passenger seat and the driver drove off.

Ava's curiosity was killing her. She was afraid she would die if she did not ask the question on her mind "Is your boss Mr...." She suddenly remembered she did not know his name. She ran her hand through her hair in frustration. "Is your boss the person I called just now?"

The bodyguard turned around and flashed Ava a small smile. "Even if I mention his name. I doubt you will know who he was, so please. Wait till we get there first. He only sent us the address and told us to come and pick you up." he replied. Trying his best not to at the girl. The girl has been asking too many questions, and it's kind of annoying. He was surprised to see a young girl who seemed to be in her early twenties. 

Ava could sense the anger in the bodyguard's voice and stopped asking any more questions. So the man is their boss. Just how rich is the man? How can a man be that rich? She wondered what he looked like. She can't even picture what he will look like in her head. Maybe he is some kind of chubby old man. Yeah. That is what he will be.

After what seems to be an eternity. The car finally stopped in front of a very big mansion. Ava widened her eyes in shock as she stared at the castle-like house in front of her. She glued her head to the car glass and widened her eyes in shock. There is still a fountain in this house. She is probably in heaven? Is she dead? Is this paradise? She yelled in her head. Staring at the house alone makes her forget all her worries. 

"We are now here, Miss." One of the bodyguards said and opened the car door for her.

She jumped out of the car so she could get a proper view of the mansion. Beautiful flowers were planted everywhere. The place is just so beautiful. Even beautiful is an understatement. If she knows any other word that she can use for this house. It will be her pleasure to use it. She keeps on looking around. Her eyes twinkled in excitement. She looks like a little kid who just visited the amusement park for the first time. She was unable to hide the excitement in her eyes.

"This way, Miss." One of the bodyguards said. Motioning for her to enter the house. She knows she shouldn't get too excited. She's here for another reason, but she was looking around instead. She must be out of her mind. She must not show that she's excited to be in a house like this.

The maid opened the wide door and she and the bodyguard entered. She was surprised to see some maids forming a line. They were all neat, and they looked good in their white and black uniforms. For some unknown reasons. She wished she was also a maid here. She loves their uniform so much. Her eyes keep scanning the place. She can't just get enough of it. She wished she could have a tour around the house, but this would be the first and the last time she would be visiting there. She only went there to beg for money.

"I will take my leave now. You can sit there. I will inform the boss that you are here. The man said and left in a hurry. Ava kept on looking around in amusement. A maid suddenly walked over to her and handed her a cup of fruit juice.

"Here, have it."

"Thank you so much." Ava took the fruit juice from the maid and thanked her.

She was drinking her fruit juice happily until she heard some footsteps behind her. She turned around instantly and was shocked to the bone to see the man before her. He is so stunning. He is breathtaking. Ava had never seen a man that was handsome like that.
