Ava had spent most of the morning at the dining table with her notebook open in front of her. Several sheets of paper were scattered around her, each covered with names she had considered for the business.Some sounded too ordinary. Others sounded too much like the names of businesses she had seen before. She wanted something that felt personal but still professional enough to represent both the salon downstairs and the beauty school upstairs.She crossed out another name and sighed.“This is harder than I thought.” She leaned back in her chair and stared at the ceiling for a moment. Since Daisy had called her and told her about the opening party, the pressure to choose a name had become even greater. Once the name was announced publicly, it would be attached to everything—the sign outside the building, advertisements, social media pages, employee uniforms and certificates for the students who would eventually graduate from the beauty school.She didn’t want to choose something she

The moment Ava realized Danielle would be staying with them for an entire week, she started thinking about the room.She didn’t want Danielle to arrive and be given a random guest room that looked as though it had been prepared at the last minute. If the little girl was going to spend a whole week in the Hale mansion, Ava wanted her to have a space that felt like it belonged to her.By late morning, Ava had already decided what she wanted.She found Mrs. Rose downstairs and explained what she had in mind.“Mrs. Rose, can you please supervise the maids for me? I want Danielle’s room prepared before she arrives tomorrow.”Mrs. Rose looked at her in surprise.“Danielle’s room?”“Yes. She’s staying for a week, so I don’t want her sleeping in one of the ordinary guest rooms.” Ava glanced toward the staircase.“I want her to have a proper room.” Mrs. Rose smiled.“I understand.”“I was thinking something cheerful. Maybe pink?” Mrs. Rose’s smile widened.“Pink sounds perfect for a little gir

By the time the house finally became quiet, Ava was exhausted.The day had been filled with one thing after another. From preparing Danielle’s room to welcoming her into the house and making sure she felt comfortable, Ava barely noticed how quickly the hours had passed.After dinner, she had checked on Danielle once more before leaving her to sleep. The little girl was still shy, but she seemed much more relaxed than she had been earlier. Ava was glad to see that.She returned to her bedroom, changed into her nightwear and sat on the edge of her bed. She had intended to go straight to sleep, but before she could put her phone down, she decided to check her social media.The moment the page loaded, she froze. A picture of her building filled the screen.Ava stared at it, wondering if she was seeing it correctly. She scrolled down, and another post appeared with the same building. Then another. Within seconds, she realized that the announcement had spread across several social media pag

Ava arrived at the beauty empire shortly after nine in the morning, with Rachel driving her as usual. Rachel had been with her since they left the house, making sure everything was in order while Ava reviewed the interview schedule on the way.As the car pulled up in front of the building, Ava looked through the window and smiled.The place still amazed her every time she saw it.Today, however, it felt different. This wasn’t simply the building Dominic had given her anymore. Today, she was here as the owner, ready to start choosing the people who would help turn her vision into a successful business.Rachel parked near the entrance before getting out and walking around to open Ava’s door.Ava stepped out, holding the folder containing the list of applicants.“I barely slept last night,” she admitted as they walked toward the entrance.Rachel glanced at her with amusement. “I figured. You were still checking those applications when we left the house.”Ava laughed.“There are so many o

By the beginning of the new week, Ava’s Beauty Empire had finally started to feel like a real company.The empty building was no longer quiet. There were employees coming in and out, instructors preparing their classrooms, and Chloe constantly moving between Ava’s office and the reception area with a folder in her hands.Ava sat behind her desk while Chloe stood across from her, going through the final list of successful applicants.“We’ve contacted everyone,” Chloe said. “Most of them have confirmed that they’ll be available to start.” Ava looked through the list.“Everyone?”“Almost. Two of the instructors haven’t responded yet, but I’ve sent them another message.”“Good, give them until this afternoon If they don’t respond, we’ll move on to the next candidates.” Chloe nodded and made a note.Ava leaned back in her chair and smiled.“I can’t believe we actually have a team now.”“You have a very large team,” Chloe corrected.Ava laughed.“Don’t remind me, I’m beginning to understand
