Avery nodded, not noticing anything amiss.“Can I have the inventory in all departments? Prepare the invoices for the supplies and orders. Set up a board meeting and that will be all for now” Avery said.Luke nodded and stood to go about the order as instructed. He paused as he heard his name and turned to Avery.“ Luke", Avery called out. “ Thank you for everything", his eyes describing the sincerity of his words.Luke smiled and walked out of the office.Avery picked up the telephone and dialed his secretary's number.“ Please inform Henry I need to see him right now if he is in," Avery said, his voice loaded with authority.He scanned the file that he got from the PR department. A knock interrupted his session.“Come in," he said, looking at the figure who entered." Welcome Avery, I didn't know you were back till I got a call from your secretary. Hope the trip was productive. I heard you went on a business trip” Henry sounded cheerful with his fence of facade built high.Avery saw
***Avery had fulfilled his company task at hand and was genuinely content as the company was growing in height.“ Avery, I need you to go through the contract Cove Hub sent to us. It is against our terms and they are solely insisting that there would be no adjustments to it,” Luke announced, barging into Avery's office, his expression denoting the matter to be a serious one.Avery goes over the file, his expression changing to that of a stern one, “ What does this mean? Call them up and state clearly to them that if they don't make changes to the contract, we won't work with it. By the way, who arranged this contract with them? I have always known Cove Hub to be mean in their dealings and never wanted to work with them following what happened in the past '' Avery said.Luke paused for a minute, staring at Avery." It was Henry. He met up with him and they worked this out” Luke replied." You mean that Henry was the negotiator of this contract. Who made him the head of the company to
" Are you saying that he will have to pay heavily for the termination? Why do you think I would want this?” Cove asked patiently, watching the expression of Henry." You want this as much as I do. I know of your experience with Avery in the past and it wasn't a pleasant one. Avery drowned your business and you tried to work with him but he bluntly rejected you. He mocked you and put you in the position you are in. You had to go underground to get support and investment to start again. I know you want this, so why not work with me and get what you ever desired? “.Cove Brown's eyes were fixed dazedly on Henry. Cove is a tall, refined man. His dark curly hair and thick eyebrows leave ladies drooling. With his broad shoulders, he stood firm and showed a successful gain from weightlifting. One could be said to be Avery's height and with a close look, one can mistake him to be Avery's brother.“ What's your take on this? I know you won't help me if you don't want something in return. I am
“I am just going to see a friend's Dad since she is out of town. I hope you don't have any urgent work for me right now" Luke asked." No, I am fine. You can go on with what you have to do. Any work I have, can be handled when you are back”.Luke replied okay and left the office. He pondered on what had happened with Avery lately. He had forgotten about Bella and has fully recovered his memory which seems to be a good thing but bad for Bella. Bella is hopeful that the strings of fate will pull them together. He still sees the love vividly displayed in her eyes whenever he goes to visit her.He drove steadily to the hospital with no worries. Mr. Anderson had discovered what had happened and came to realize the pain his daughter was undergoing. At first, he was grieving at the discovery and had withdrawn to himself for days. He finally relieved himself of the pain when Luke took him to see Bella. He knew he had to be strong for his daughter and improved gradually and visited when he was
“ Oh, welcome Avery" Ava called out, sounding all sweet and cozy.Avery paused to see Ava walk up to him. He hadn't been expecting to see her here and wondered what game they were trying to play right here.“What are you doing here? Who invited you over?" Avery asked sternly as she tried clocking her hands around his.Ava, hurt by these words, stepped back a bit, her face downcast on being rejected even before she could attempt.“ I did," Victoria's voice rang out as she replied.“ I thought it was only going to be a family meeting. Why then allow a stranger to reside in our condo?" Avery asked with a scorn etched on his. He knows well enough that his vicious stepmother will be looking for means to get him to be with Ava again.He ignores her and walks to the empty set aside for him. He sits beside Henry who kept his head down since he walked in. On his right is his father, Richard Tamer, who destroyed the family after he had taken a second wife and tried stealing the company from Ave
The moon illuminated my path as I walked down to my house, ignoring the stares and probably curses I got from people I pushed past, not even bothering to look back and give them an apology.I had gone to see my supposed 'faithful' boyfriend, Shane without really telling him I was coming, only to see him tangled up with the woman he told me not to worry about because she was 'just a friend'.He told me he didn't want sex from me if I didn't want to give him, he was ready to wait till we got married. He was going to be patient, but I guess humans would always be humans.I only looked at them and walked away, I didn't scream, I didn't cry. I just walked away.Shaking my head to clear the images of my boyfriend, no ex-boyfriend naked on the bed with another female, I continue my walk back home, maybe a drink or two before I sleep would help me get my mind off it.The screeching sound of tyres and a loud noise made me pause in my tracks. A scream could be heard as a car flips, landing few
I am thrown into a cold cell, loosing my landing and falling on the cold floor."You would sleep here for a while." Veronica, Richard's wife sneered at me, the gate banging shut and getting locked.No, I can't be here. Who would take care of my father?"I can't stay here. You have to let me out. I didn't do it. Please believe me." I screamed, running to the jail bars to try and convince them to open it.They can't do this to me, they know I didn't do it. I only helped to bring him here. Then why are they doing this to me."Oh, we know honey that you didn't try to kill him. Someone just has to take the blame for me, and that someone is you." Veronica smiled wickedly at me, turning around to walk away, my chance of being set free gone along with her.I shouldn't have helped him. I should have just let him be when I saw the car crash. Then this wouldn't have happened.If i had just minded my business, I wouldn't be locked up.Just in one night, I found out Shane is cheating on me, I 'hel
Bella Davis POV_The sound of keys rattling makes me look up, the dimness of the cell making it hard for me to really see who was coming in."You're free to go." The police officer throws the door open, waiting for me to leave.I stare at him confused, unsure of what to do. Was he being serious or was this some kind of joke."What are you waiting for? Leave. Or did you form a bond with the mice here and now you can't leave your friends behind.", He mocks laughing along with his friends.With a scowl on my face, I leave that place without hesitation. Ignoring the mocking gazes of the police menThe moment i step out of the police station I am enveloped in a hug, the smell of mint and wood wafting into my nostrils.My first thought was to scream assault, but the voice that follows through makes me pause."Are you alright?" Avery asked me still holding me closely. Isn't he supposed to be in the hospital right now?Wait. Hold on. Did he just ask if i was alright? Did he hit his head so ha
