"Good morning Miss." Avelyn made the same moves as a few hours earlier. She blinked a few times and immediately opened her eyes wide to observe things that might have changed in the strange room she had occupied since last night. A half-century-old servant smiled sweetly at her bed. The woman has wrinkles around her eyes and lips which shows that she is a friendly woman who likes to smile so that the lines on her face are easier to form due to frequent attraction. Then on her head, the woman gave a small bun with a little gray hair tucked between her blonde hair. Overall the waitress was lovely. She also had a friendly smile that managed to keep Avelyn from feeling scared at all. "I hope you sleep well, miss." "Thank you. I did sleep well. Especially after eating some snacks." Avelyn blatantly glanced at the sandwich plate that still had one sandwich on top. But unfortunately the sandwich now looked even more unfit when hit by the dazzling light from the large window that the waite
Avelyn finally breathed a sigh of relief. After more than fifteen minutes she let out a shallow breath at Elvis's presence nearby. The old man is truly extraordinary, Avelyn thought with a groan. His brilliant green eyes managed to captivate Avelyn in just seconds. But not without reason Avelyn felt captivated by Elvis Taylor, the man's green eyes reminded her of Michael Phoenix. The man also had bright green eyes that Avelyn would never forget. Avelyn was upset, she kicked the rubbish that had fallen from her locker as she opened it wide. Someone who was more than just a fad, more despicable to be precise, must have planned all this for her. What a fool for her because she forgot to put a padlock in the drawer. And this is what will happen to her if she forgets to lock her locker as usual. The contents of the trash can next to her class had suddenly moved into her locker. Not to mention that her shoes have now gone missing somewhere after she finished with her swimming schedule with
Twenty minutes later Avelyn came down to the dining room with a fresher face and a more appropriate dress. Magda delivered her suitcase on time five minutes ago after she was done with showering and also drying her hair. She almost opened the wardrobe in the room to borrow one of the clothes because he couldn't find her suitcase anywhere. But thank goodness Magda came into her room just as she almost pulled open the closet door which was next to the bathroom door next door. "Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Taylor." "Absolutely not. Have a seat, Ave." Elvis invited Avelyn to join him for breakfast. For the first time in twenty years, the long wooden table was not only filled by him with silence. At least this time Avelyn brought a new atmosphere to Elvis's boring life. "I am very grateful to have met you, Mr. Taylor." "Call me Elvis," said Elvis half forcefully. He wanted his relationship with Avelyn to be more relaxed and less awkward because of their huge age difference. “Alrigh
Avelyn wiped the sweat running down her forehead after doing morning exercise around her apartment. Running in the morning around La Pietra Place is not a bad thing to change the atmosphere. She has been living in La Pietra for two weeks thanks to Elvis's generosity. He humbly rented her the apartment cheaply without giving her a deadline. It could be said that Elvis allowed Avelyn to stay in the apartment indefinitely. Even two days ago when Avelyn was invited to dinner at an expensive restaurant by Elvis, the man bluntly told her he wanted to give Avelyn the apartment for free. But of course it was immediately rejected by Avelyn because she did not want to be judged as a material woman who likes to extract wealth from a rich old man like Elvis. Their relationship that developed out of control made Avelyn sometimes confused with his heart. On the one hand, Avelyn felt that Elvis was a kind-hearted man with an amazing physique who was not inferior to the young men Avelyn often met.
"You take it easy Elvis, I will definitely pass it easily." Avelyn tried to calm Elvis, who continued to complain nervously at Avelyn's first job interview at The Star. After that night's incident, their relationship is getting closer. Not infrequently Avelyn sent messages to check Elvis's condition, who from day to day said he was getting fit ever since he met Avelyn. Now Elvis has returned to busy with activities in his busy office. But even then, he would never miss a chance to contact Avelyn. The woman's resemblance to his late wife made Elvis feel really in love with Avelyn. "You better work at my company. There are lots of strategic positions for you to fill, Ave. " Hearing that Avelyn chuckled. According to her Elvis had gone too far for her. The age difference between them is so big that Elvis often treats her like a spoiled woman who can't do anything right. "I'm not talented for office business. I prefer to work in front of the camera while posing pretty." "Posing naughty
That night Rebecca was lying facing the ceiling in her room when her red cell phone rang and displayed Avelyn's name as the caller. With enthusiasm she threw the white pillow that was previously in her arms, then she immediately grabbed the red cellphone with an enthusiastic gesture. "Ave!" screamed Rebecca hysterically. Even though it was only yesterday evening they spent two hours on the phone, but that seemed not enough for them to share stories. There is always something they will tell you in the minute they make a phone call. Even Rebecca herself felt that Avelyn called her more often than her date. "Hi young lady." Avelyn giggled at the enthusiasm Rebecca was displaying. It was certain that tonight would be a long night for them to talk. “How are you, Ave? How was the result of your interview with The Star agency? How about Elvis?" Rebecca bombarded Avelyn with the barrage of questions that had been lodged in Rebecca's mind since minutes ago, when she had just returned
Lean looked at Avelyn's profile in his hands while furrowing his brows seriously. Their meeting yesterday could not be said to be a satisfying one. Both of them actually attack each other in order to maintain their respective egos. That's definitely not something Lean is good at. A naive woman like Avelyn should be tamed, he thought sarcastically. But even though Avelyn was fierce, the woman had very profitable potential for his agency. Her activities in the modeling world cannot be doubted at all. Moreover, the woman used to come from Michael's agency in Chicago. He believed that Michael accepted Avelyn, not without reason. She is a talented woman with a beautiful face. Her good reputation will surely give him many offers from superpower companies to make Avelyn as their brand ambassador. Too bad Avelyn wasn't the kind of gentle submissive woman. She has a rebellious and fierce side that irritates him every time he encounters her. Knock knock knock "Come in." Without looking at t
"You look beautiful." "I know." Her mother had even praised her hundreds of times before she walked out of the door of her fragile house to meet Michael. Tonight there will be a party at her school. An annual party that all Royale High School students must attend. However, during the three years that Avelyn attended this elite school, this was the first time she came to the annual party. Of course the problem is very simple, firstly because none of the students in the school think that being there is important, and secondly, she never had a partner to attend the event. So why did she bother to prepare herself if in the end she was only used as a mockery by a group of vile disciples who hated her. "Have fun." Avelyn smiled gently at her enthusiastic mother. To be honest she didn't want to come to the party. But Michael continues to force her. He said, she needed to amaze everyone with her natural beauty. Besides that, as the lover of the most popular boy in school, Michael kept on
The halls were full and bustling with Royale High School students. Avelyn walked as usual down the hallway, ignoring the scornful stares of her friends. Isn't that normal? Avelyn thought sarcastically. For almost three years, she had always received the same gaze from them. So this is no longer a problem for her. But is she sure that this is not a problem? A student suddenly blocked her way. He looked at her body with an impolite look, then suddenly gripped her chin with a painful grip. "Let me go!" Avelyn hissed sarcastically. As far as she knew she had never had any business with the dark curly-haired student. But she knew what his name was, Hudson. That boy had never bothered her, at least as long as she was with Michael. Only a fool would dare to deal with Michael. Unfortunately not anymore. Avelyn wasn't part of Michael anymore, ever since she slapped the man for her lecherous act. Their relationship was practically broken. Michael didn't come to her often in class anymore to d
Avelyn hesitated to ring the bell in front of her. But this is the only chance she has so she can be free from Michael who has been looking for her since five days ago. Her flight from that man was not time to stop. She had to keep moving in order to avoid Michael's hired spies whom he had seen in the various places he had been. This morning when she came out of her rented apartment on the outskirts of LA, she saw a man with glasses standing reading a newspaper across the street, right in front of her apartment window. Of course she wouldn't be as paranoid as it if the man she saw this morning was not the same as the man she saw yesterday while having lunch at a Japanese restaurant. Without any hesitation, Avelyn was sure that this man was the spy Michael sent to find her. But to hell with that guy. After she was sure that her position was known, she just walked out of the apartment, speeding fast right in front of the man using her sports car which she happened to be able to rely o
Elvis Taylor is an old man with a gloomy face who has not been touched by happiness during his life. Since his wife and child died, Elvis has continued to make himself like a robot who has absolutely no thought for his own health. Now at the age of fifty-three, Elvis looked so pale, his cheekbones protruded horribly because of his thin body. Her eyeballs, once brilliant green, had faded to a cloudy green from looking at the computer too much. Elvis's pale skin looked wrinkled here and there because of the effects of the hard drugs he had been consuming. Although he never considered his heart disease to be a serious disease, he occasionally took medication to survive. He needs to endure until he finds the right person to replace him. There are thousands of employees who survive from the business he started. If he dies, then who will be responsible for them? It's not easy running a business in the life of the family troubles that have haunted him for the past twenty five years or so. E
There is no worse day than today. Avelyn felt so bad he felt like crying. Really she hates being in the silence without anyone who will hold it. Rebecca here couldn’t help calm her down. And she also didn't want to keep bothering Rebecca just to hear all her sad story. She was an adult, married, but her heart and mind felt completely immature. Until now she hasn't even tried to fix the problem with Elvis. Her ego is really too high just to just contact Elvis, then invite the man to talk nicely. And because of that now Avelyn was sad. All day, after she came home from McDonalds feeling annoyed with Tobbie, she just stayed home without doing anything. Many times Magda knocked on her door, reminding her to eat, but she always refused on the grounds that she was full. But that's exactly what happened. She is full of the problems that have befallen her. This impulsive marriage in fact tortured her and made her heart waver. It is undeniable that her recent closeness with Lean has influence
Lean stroked the top of Hill's head affectionately. Just as he expected, Hill was still sick and not completely healed. After an hour of playing in the park, Hill has now fallen asleep on his shoulders. That kid was not as active as usual. When he tried to impress Hill with his basketball skills, the boy just clapped his hands without showing any enthusiasm. But whatever it was, Lean felt relieved that Hill was doing well. It only takes a little more time to rest, medicine, and nutritious food, and Hill will soon recover from illness. "Oh, I was just about to catch up with you." Letha looked surprised when Lean suddenly stood behind her who had just locked the apartment door. Seeing Hill sleeping comfortably on Lean's shoulder, Letha hurriedly opened the door to her apartment again and immediately opened the door wide for Lean. "Your friend is home?" “Yes, ten minutes ago. After clearing the glasses and plates, I intend to catch up with you. Is he a bother?" Letha led Lean to Hill
There was nothing Avelyn could do today. After returning from Lean's apartment, she found her house quiet as usual. Elvis is not home. Yeah, of course that guy couldn't be home at ten like this. It is certain that Elvis is currently struggling at his office desk to sign the dozens of files that come and go on his desk. Thinking about Elvis getting longer, it made Avelyn even more annoyed. The cold war that occurred between them actually made their household unclear like this. Even last night Elvis didn't contact her at all. Even though when Avelyn activated her cellphone this morning, she hoped Elvis would call her, looking for her with a panicked face while praying non-stop throughout the night, asking God for her safety. But all she got when her white cellphone was completely turned on was a pile of emails from credit cards, from the legality agency Lean who sent her a copy of the employment contract, then a few missed calls from Becca. In addition, there were absolutely no calls
Letha rested on her chin in Hill's room while accompanying the boy to play with his dinosaurs. It had been quite a while since Tatyana had said goodbye to go out with her boyfriend. Her heart had been wondering whether Lean would come to see his child? Is Lean willing to leave the pleasures that woman offers in his apartment? The more she thought about it, Letha's head grew dizzy and her heart pounded. She can't just keep expecting a man who clearly doesn't expect her anymore. This is her fault. The other side of her was sneering while laughing at her old foolishness. She was too arrogant when Lean volunteered take responbility to his past. And at that time, when Lean was staying at her house in Tacoma, Lean said he wanted to make a whole family for Hill. The man wanted to fulfill the dream of children in general who always wanted a warm family with a complete father and mother. How he hated himself, who at Hill's age could not feel a normal family life, so he didn't want something
Avelyn closed the door to Lean's apartment and stayed where she was with a frown as she stared at the door. Just now Letha came. But he thought the woman looked strange. Her face showed both nervousness and surprise when she saw her open the door. Avelyn then glanced at her own appearance from top to toe, at her bare feet. Instantly she patted herself on the forehead and voiced some curses for the stupidity she had done this morning. Really she didn't mean to misunderstand her. No wonder Letha immediately looked pale after seeing her come out to open the door. her appearance this morning really couldn't be said to be appropriate. She thought she was still wearing her wet dress last night because she didn't even check her appearance before getting out of bed. Moments ago she was awakened by the disturbing sound of the bell from the front door. She saw Lean sleeping soundly on the sofa, made her feel so sorry that she decided to open the door without waking Lean. Seeing the man so guar
All night Lean has to keep Avelyn from being unconscious. In a panic, Lean decided to take Avelyn to his apartment. It was completely unthinkable in Lean's mind to take Avelyn to the hospital because he was too worry about Avelyn's situation. Plus, if he took Avelyn to the hospital, it would only create a scene. In this city, even though people are indifferent to each other, there is still a sly paparazzi who likes to take advantage of the situation. So in the end Lean turned the steering wheel toward his apartment and immediately lifted Avelyn outside as soon as they reached the basement of the lonely apartment. One of the things he is grateful for about the apartment, they prioritize a very strict privacy system. None of the spies managed to infiltrate the apartment to extract information that the owner of the information did not allow. After Lean managed to bring Avelyn to his room, the man immediately laid Avelyn carefully on the bed and took a towel to dry Avelyn's drenched body
