Her curiosity and unease led her to do some digging of her own and she started going through Avery's files in search of any clue that could shed light on what was happening. As she sifted through the papers, she came across a file labeled "Project X". Her heart raced as she realized that this could be the key to unlocking the mystery. She quickly made a copy of the file and slipped it into her bag, determined to uncover the truth.Bella delved further into Avery's files and came across something more alarming. She discovered a name that caught her attention - Henry. Bella recalled Avery mentioning his brother earlier, but she knew little about him. As she continued to search, she found information on Henry's past involvement in shady dealings. Bella couldn't shake off the feeling that Henry might be behind recent incidents at their company. She decided to confront Avery about her findings
Doubt lingered in Bella's eyes. "Avery, I didn't mean to go through your things, I couldn't shake off the feeling or idea that he wants to work with you and is willing to right his wrong. Some people like him don't go down that easily without a fight. I also found out about Henry's shady past. Are you sure he can be trusted?"Avery sighed, "I know he has a history, but people change. I believe in giving second chances. We can't let the past define us.

He couldn't believe that Avery had given him the position of Managing Director, a role that would give him access to everything he needed to destroy Avery's life and career.As he drew the handle and stepped out into the hallway, Luke, Avery's trusted assistant and best friend, appeared before him. Luke looked at Henry with a sense of suspicion and wariness, as if he knew something that Henry didn't."Good morning, Luke," Henry said with a nervous smile, trying to put him at ease.Luke hesitated for a moment before responding, "Good morning Henry, I see you have resumed your work and you seem happy about it. But let me tell you that my eyes are watching you every second now. If you don't mind excusing me, I need to talk to Avery immediately."Henry couldn't help feeling a sense of unease as Luke's words hung in the air. He walked to his office, brushing aside Luke's w

Bella hesitated, the idea of a makeover feeling both unexpected and unnecessary. "I appreciate the thought, Avery, but I'm comfortable the way I am."Avery, however, was determined.
