CHAPTER FIVE

Job Hunting 

It was a Monday morning the sun is bright, and the sunlight is warm, and not harsh. The birds keep chirping, and the breeze is cool. The leaves of the plants are covered from the dew drops. The level of noise pollution in the mornings arises compared to the other times of the day.

Ethan holding his pillow tight as he moans softly calling out Ava's name gently. he was In this beautiful garden with Ava where they were both naked. It was a pleasant sight to behold as both looked like the first creation.

Ethan was drooling all over Ava's body. he couldn't help looking at her neatly carved body shape. he was so mesmerized by her beauty.

He kissed her and gently removed the red brassiere she was wearing. He gently made his way down to her broad hip kissing her navel. Ava moaned at his gentle touch and called out his name gently to show she was enjoying every bit of his touch. Ethan was so hard that he wanted to dive in and have a nice time. as he was about to give her a blowjob, his alarm rang sending a sharp pain into his ear. "Oh! Shit! That was all a dream. Including me going to the hospital? Damn it!" he shouted, as he ran into the bathroom and have a warm bath. while the servant prepared him some sandwiches and coffee.

Ava was just getting out of bed and was preparing for an interview. She gathers all the necessary documents and was about to head out when she heard her father's voice. she turned back and said, "Good morning Dad".

"Morning" replied her father. "I hope you are not forgetting anything? and remember when you are back. we have some pending issues to discuss." with that, he disappeared into his study room.

Ava was just entering the biggest shoe-making company in London. Her jaws dropped as she saw a lot of fancy shoes. she tried to keep her cool not to attract any attention. she went over to the secretary and told her she was there for an interview. She was ushered into a room where she met Victoria sitting majestically on a sit too. Both exchanged glances and kept mute.

Immediately it was 10:30 am, and the staffs were all up and down when they heard the Duke was around. They all formed a straight line to welcome him which has been the usual way of welcoming him. Ava took a peep not knowing who that was and was surprised to see Ethan.

"Fuck!" she exclaimed as she was about tip-toeing out of the company. Ethan called her back and said, "Ain't you here for the interview miss?" with that Ava looked back and Ethan was surprised to see her, he mediately ushered her into his office and also makes Victoria come along.

The both of them talked for some time and Ava was given a job and was to stay back because Ethan wanted to give her closure about what happened. while Victoria had to discuss business with Ethan. 

Ava got up from her sit and decide to go on a tour around the company. There were many exciting things to see…the whole place reeked of wealth. Ava was surprised and wondered how Ethan was the boss of an organization like this, "I'm not surprised she murmured to herself, after all, he is the "Duke of Cambridge." On her way back she bumped into someone that looks like Ethan. The resemblance was striking that she couldn't help but stare and wondered who the young and handsome man was.

"Am Olivier Morgan," said, the young man "Ava," she said similarly and they both shook hands. They both talked a lot before Ava made her way home, forgetting she has to wait up and talked to Ethan. She couldn't stop thinking about everything she saw at the company. 

Immediately she set foot into the house, she went back to her old self and went straight to see her dad. Who told her to get ready to visit the Duke's palace to meet the family. Amidst feeling, she knew she had wronged Ethan and doesn't know what he still thinks of her. But she said "I just have to try." she muttered some words and went to bed.

It was a beautiful morning, The light of dawn seeped into Ava's room. She rubbed her bleary eyes and walked to the window. She opened the curtains and walked briskly down the stairs to see her mother. She is sure she was awake by now and would be looking forward to the visit. immediately she entered her mother's room she wasn't on the bed and wondered where she would be at this time of the day. She went down to check her in the dining and there she was with my father having breakfast already. Ava reluctantly joins them at the table and greeted them. My father smirked and said "Why ain't you dressed yet? we don't have time on our side." She was so lost in thought that she had forgotten they are heading to the Duke's palace.

Ava hurriedly sat at the far extreme of the table and had her meal. She dashed Into her room to have her bath. She thought of befitting cloth to wear that would make her look more beautiful, reflecting her body shape. She also imagine what the Duke's palace would look like and couldn't help but wonder how many servants and palace guards they would be having. She got out of the bathroom and could hear her mother's voice echoing "Ava you are taking a lot of time darling, do you need help with anything?" she answered "No." from her room feeling a little embarrassed. Ava's father impatiently shouted and yelled from the dining room "Out with you child", she smirked and closed the door behind her making her way down to the dining hall.

She walked majestically down the hallway to the dining hall.. all mouths were ajar as her parents stood transfixed to a spot.

Her mother exclaimed all of a sudden "Oh! My child, you look stunning". Her Dad just nodded and adjusted his tuxedo, grinning, showing his set of white teeth in affirmative to what Mother has said. She was so carried away that she forgot she didn't have her pocketbook with her. She hurriedly ran back to her room to get it and she could hear her father whispering to her mum's ears why she In return giggled. She came down and we were all set.

Ava's father called the chauffeur and told him to have the Vintage car ready instructing him to drive it down to the center of the house. 

Mr. Benjamin was an old man who lived all his years with them since she was a child. She does see him as a fatherly figure because he was always there to give her advice and sometimes talk to her about his youth telling her how he met Bridget and how they got married. He had two sons, Raphael and Scot. Rapheal was her spec but she would not want to go so low as to date her father Chaffeuar's son that would ruin the family. But she had hoped he was born into a more suitable family in his next life, That would have given them a chance to be together.

The car zoomed in front of the house while we hopped in and made our way to the Duke's palace. Ava couldn't stop fidgeting. Her legs were just too light to hold her entire body. She was about to talk to her mother when she gently placed her hands on hers and said "he is going to love you, trust me." with that her heart found peace and looked forward to seeing her charming Duke.

Ava asked herself as they were close to the duke's castle"Will he show her some courtesy or shove her aside as she did to him?", she would but wonder how she had treated him not giving him a chance to explain his side of the story. guilt ate her up and she praye

d Ethan gave her some listening ears.
