In a gentle manner, Ava speaks to her. "Mrs. Tina, how are you doing today? Longest time." She remains quiet.

Aunt Tina mysteriously laughs out loud on the phone, as she energetically says. "I'm doing great, Ava. How about you? I have long expected your call, but you weren't coming fought. I almost gave up on you." She smiles as she breaks the silence over the phone.

"Are you there or?"

"I'm doing well, thanks. I was hoping to get your advice on something. You're a great relationship coach, and I could really use some help. About what you said the other day, but before that, I need you to answer some of my questions." She waits to hear her response.

  • Loveless CEO   She heard nothing

    Ava's hands tremble at seeing Susan stand there at the door. How did she even come in without the sound from the door? How long has she been standing there? Did she hear all I was saying now? These go through Ava's mind as she stares at Susan, who is standing at her door looking right at her. To be sure, she quickly covers up by saying."Alright ma'am. I understand. I will call you back later. Do have a great day." She speaks so formally to deceive Susan of what she must have heard.Susan observes, she is done with her calling, so she walks fast to her desk. She keeps a frowning face. She wishes to explain to Ava that what she saw in the morning was an accident and it's totally a misunderstanding. Ava stares at her with curiosity filled in her eyes. Both stares at each other for a while. Who will go first? They both wonder."Ava..""Susan…". Both mutters the same time."Okay… You go first." Susan stretches her hands to Ava.Ava scoffs, putting out a plastic smile. "No! You go first."

    "No… No... Don't misunderstand what I just said now. I ... I... met–" Ava speaks, stammering, trying to cover up her truth."Aha oooo!" Susan exclaims, touching her forehead as she outly speaks. "Am teasing you. You must have known he is a great kisser from the lady who is obsessed. Sorry for my manners. Whoever is in love with our boss must have told you about the kisses when she was expressing how she felt then and now.""Don't worry, I know you don't have that close relationship with the boss. Seeing your personality, you don't like office romance. They will definitely lead to gossip." She smiles, tapping Ava's hand to calm her down."We are done and launch time is over by thirty minutes. We better head back before Mr Xander looks for his secretary. Right?" Susan speaks as they both stand up from their table. Smiling in her mind, Ava mentions. "He would even look for you more than me. You are his personal adviser and he needs you more." Ava makes it hard for Susan by teasing her s

    Susan is stunned at how he stares at her. She slowly walks towards his desk, looking all composed with her unstable eye contact. Regardless of how close they've conversed so far, she still fears and respects him while he is in his office cause he is the boss after all. She stands, looking at him and then speaks out, keeping her face downwards. She can never speak while staring at him in the face. She is a shy girl, by the way.Stammering, she says. " Sir, I want to speak with you about something. Are you free now?" She inquires to him to be sure before she can start spilling whatever she is here for.Mr Xander smiles then sets back in his chair as he speaks. "You still feel this way, despite being close to me. Your respect is sure and strong despite anything I love. Before you continue to speak, why don't you sit? I don't like you standing as you are now a dear one to me." He points to the sit.She quietly sits as requested by him. She sits upright on the chair to give her an edge to

At least for letting him know she will be okay and won't be following him home. He is not in the dark as Ava speaks. However, he looks at her and smile, leaving the corridor where Ava has been standing to fill in words into his head. Seeing him walk out with such a smile on his face must have made her look like a fool, and whatever she said had made no impact on him or his thoughts.Walking back into his office, he listens to side whispers as everyone is busy looking out and those who aren't looking are obviously talking about it right from when John entered the company's reception to inquire about Susan. She is known facially, but not everyone knows her name. As John sat whilst waiting for her, other workers saw him while passing, "Damm... He's cute." One whisper. "You don't say... I wonder who he could be waiting for? If it's she, then she's definitely luck
