Not Her Usual Target Chapter 15: Her Wake Up Call
Avery immediately turned to Carson who was enjoying his coffee. He had a content smile on his face and even if she didn't want to ruin his peaceful moment, she knew she had to. "Is it okay if I head out first?"His smile immediately disappeared. "Is something wrong?" He placed the cup on the table and his facial expression turned from relaxing to worried. She lightly smiled, trying to keep her composure but she knew that when Jane was in the hospital, it was bad news."My friend is in the hospital. She needs me." In an instant, he called Dolores and placed money on the table. "We're heading off now. We have an emergency" He was about to stand up when she stopped him. Her hand reached his, making him stop all his movements. His brows are together, showing that he was confused. "You don't have to go with me. I can just take the cab." He raised an eyebrow, "Well, I just came here because of you. I still need to go to the office, remember?" Her eyes widen by what he said. His word

Avery smiled, but this was not her usual smile. It was more of a smile one makes when they are about to plan something bad. Jane knew that she's at fault as to why Avery was like that. If she only dated nice guys, Avery won't be reminded of her past. Jane looked down. Her arm was extremely broken and all of her body was full of bruises. Avery held her friend's arm. Her touch was warm and comfortable despite her scary aura. Jane turned to her. "Babe, you need to promise me for real this time that you are never going back to that asshole." Jane saw the hurt and sad look on Avery's eyes and she nodded. "I'm sorry."Avery smiled and patted her friend's head, "Don't be sorry. We all make mistakes." She then stood and got her bag again. "Where are you going?" Her voice turned out to be scared than worried. Avery smiled at her once again as she fixed her bag, "Just out. I'll be back after a few hours." Before Jane could say anything, Avery left the room. Avery's aura was now differe

Avery knew that Carson was not her usual target. She needed to step up her game if she wanted to catch his attention. Making him drunk wouldn't be enough. When she reached the building, she headed to the washroom to fix her outfit. She made her skirt shorter. She pulled her dress down a bit as well to show a bit of her cleavage. If there was one thing she learned, men liked cleavages and legs.She sprayed her favorite perfume and applied make-up. If she was able to seduce him once, she can easily do it again. Plus, he seemed to be worked up with the kiss so it was easier to do her plan. So when she stood from her seat, she made sure that he would turn to her. All of her movements were slow but graceful. When she saw him looking, she smirked. The moment she saw him tremble, she knew her plan was successful. Carson held her wrist so hard because he was trying to control himself. When she placed her finger on his mouth, he wanted to lick it so badly. "Hi, predator. Don't let me

Carson's voice was a bit loud, which surprised Ji and Avery. Ji smirked and got the folder from Carson's hand. "That woman is changing you, boy. It doesn't mean that your dad founded the company, it would easily be yours. We, the board members, have the power to appoint the new CEO. If you treat me like this just because of a whore, you are wasting your future."Carson frowned even more. "If the board member knew what kind of person you are, I doubt they will be trusting you." Ji cleared his throat. This was not the first time the two talked to each other liked this. Ji was a board member ever since the company was founded. He knew Carson's dad since they were in college but he was not really a fan of the guy. He admired Mr. Lee's intelligence and goals but he planned to take over when the time comes. He can't let Carson become the new CEO. He planned to do whatever it takes to put his son in the position, even if it meant using Avery as a threat. He turned to Avery as he walk

Avery didn't know how she got the energy after what happened but she immediately hugged her savior. Her body was trembling in fear. "Calm down, I'm here." Carson said as he patted her back. Just then, the police came. Carson knew the moment he received the message that it wasn't for him. Good thing he was not that far from the hospital yet so he was able to rush over and call the authorities. When he saw Avery by the convenience store, he immediately grabbed whatever it is that he could find and saved her. Avery hugged him tight. She was thankful that Carson was there to save her. The way he patted her back felt comforting and warm. It finally felt that she has a home to go home to. "What happened?" The policeman asked. Avery let go of Carson and looked at her. "He just started talking to me." She was sure that John won't tell them the truth because if the public knew about their relationship, his situation would worsen. The policeman nodded, "He did smell alcohol. He might be

After the meeting, the board members seemed to be pleased with what they talked about. Ji was smiling as he walked past Avery. She left goosebumps upon seeing him. When all of the board members were gone, Avery looked at Carson who seemed to be deep in thought. Carson knew that he had to get the trust of the board members before his dad officially retired. The event next week should help him not only get the favor of these wealthy men but everyone. But he needed to bring someone. He checked his phone to see what Jenny was up to.Her social media accounts were full of her face and her activities. She was a daughter of a sister company of Lee Technology and the reason he dated her was because his father wanted him to. "Carson?"Avery asked as she stood by the door. Carson immediately hid his phone in his pocket. His eyes widen when his dad walked inside. "Dad"He turned to Avery who gave them privacy. Carson watched as his dad walked to him. "How was the meeting? Did you get their

Avery was about to open the door when she heard Carson spoke. "What am I supposed with the first candidate? She didn't come from a rich family." She smiled to him. "But you wanted to take her to the event, don't you?"She didn't wait for her to reply and left the room. Carson looked at Avery's profile. She was the first candidate. After her was the list of the 5 most powerful women in the country. All of which are familiar to Carson. These women came from top companies. He placed Avery's profile on the side and he focused on these women even if he knew deep inside that she was right.Avery was confident that she could get Carson soon. His gaze, his movements, and everything else were obvious. She had him wrapped around her finger and she needed to attend that party to get her name known so once Carson decided to leave her, she had connections already. She smirked. Carson was the perfect candidate. In the end, Jane was right."A party????" Jane exclaimed upon hearing her friend

Avery paused, "A deal?" The man in his 40s nodded. She looked at him and noticed that he was wearing the same brand of suit as yesterday. Ji placed his hands on his chin with a smile on his face. This movement exposed his newly-bought watch. She was sure that it was brand new as there was still plastic on it. But what she noticed the most was his facial expression. It was showing how pleased he was that he got her attention. "I'll give you a quick backstory. Before my dear friend John attacked you, I gave him a visit his good old house. I told him I knew you and he went crazy telling me I should give you back your dog or you would continue to haunt him forever." Avery was surprised. She never thought John would tell anyone about what happened. Now she understood how John knew about her new target. Ji was the one who told him. Ji smirked upon seeing her expression. "You must be thinking why John would spill the beans? I grew up with that man and seeing him crushed like that made m

Not Her Usual Target Chapter 50: Their Fresh Start
"Do you feel the same way towards me?" She paused with the sudden question. He looked worried and nervous but she didn't understand why. "Why?"He chuckled, "I need to know why you were doing all of these. Why try so hard to talk to me when you could've just run away? I don't think you would do these to your other targets." She looked down as he spoke. "I feel the same way as you."He smiled, "That's good to know." She couldn't believe that this was actually happening. Is this even real? Or is Carson getting revenge for everything that she did to him? "If this is some kind of joke, I don't want to be a part of it."He shaked his head. He could feel her drifting away and he didn't want that to happen. He looked at her with concern. "No, Avery. This is real. I want to make this work. I know our beginning wasn't that nice but I want to start fresh."She didn't know what to respond. She couldn't believe what she was hearing right now. After 3 months, this is what he wanted? "
Not Her Usual Target Chapter 49: The Talk
Avery couldn't believe what she was seeing right now. Even if she can see Carson in commercials and billboards, it was different when she saw him again. His aura was different from the one she remembered. He was no longer angry or cold. His vibe was warm and gentle, just like he was when they first met. She lightly smiled, "Indeed. Are you free?" He walked to her and nodded. She wiped her hands using her handkerchief as she lead the way. "So I heard that you opened a café." He started as they walked. She nodded but paused when she realized that she didn't tell the news to anybody aside from Jane and Alexander. "How did you---"He didn't let her finish and smiled when they reached the café. Jane and Brix were smiling widely as if everything was a secret surprise. Avery shaked her head as she smiled. "So, we have a date. We'll leave the two of you?" Jane asked as Avery and Carson approached them.She didn't wait for Avery's response and grabbed Brix's hand. The couple then left.
Not Her Usual Target Chapter 48: Three Months After
Jane took a deep breath and Avery knew what the answer was. She leaned back in her chair while Jane sat in front of her. "So what now?"Avery looked at her friend, she didn't want to sound like she was giving up but she was running out of ideas. Jane looked at Avery as she recalled what happened in Carson's office. Jane smiled and nodded. "She did. She wanted to talk to you but you know how Avery can be." Carson lightly smiled but she can sense that he was sad and hurt. "I can't meet her, Jane. I don't know what she told you but I can't trust her anymore."Carson sounded exactly like Avery. That's when Jane understood how her bestfriend fell for the man. "I know it's hard, especially after what she did but Avery isn't the type to fix relationships. She usually runs away since she doesn't care. I know that might be hard to believe, but she is doing everything she can to just talk to you. She even talked to your sister." His eyes widened when he heard the last line. But he didn't r
Not Her Usual Target Chapter 47: The Bestfriend's Idea
Avery knew that Carson might've made a mistake when he called her that night. He could've just dialled the number without knowing who it was because if he really did call her, he would've said something.She knew she was drunk because she could hear bottles in the background. The sound was too familiar as she heard the same bottle sounds whenever she went to Jane's place. But what she didn't know was Carson's history related to alcohol. She just risked everything when she decided to meet his sister.Ms. Lee's reaction was exactly what Avery hoped to see. But all her plans were ruined when the young billionaire's sister spoke. "There is nothing I can do to help you." "What do you mean?"Ms. Lee lightly smirked, "You met my family, remember? You know how things work and who decides for everyone. I care about Carson but nothing I do or say would matter to that family." Avery paused. This was the first time she saw this side of Ms. Lee even if she just met each other once. "I see."
Not Her Usual Target Chapter 46: She Attempts To Take Him Back
Avery waited for his voice as her heart continued to beat fast. The other line was silent and she didn't know what to do. "Carson?" She asked but the line was cut. She looked at her phone in confusion. Then the sky rumbled, making her turn her head up. She smiled, "Thanks, mom. I get the sign." The following morning, Avery was planning her ultimate move to get Carson back. She couldn't go there as she didn't want the press to be bothering the both of them. Plus, the reports said she moved to another country and surely, the press would be staying by the company to watch Carson's moves. As she laid in bed, her eyes widen when a sudden idea popped in her head. She immediately got her phone to dial another number. "Hi! Do you deliver?"Carson, on the other hand, was busy with work. He was so drunk last night that he couldn't remember what he did. He couldn't explain what he was feeling because it was the first time he felt anything like this. "Do not do anything reckless, Carson.
Not Her Usual Target Chapter 45: The Sign
"Mark?" Avery asked, her tone was low and sad. She wasn't expecting to see anyone at this hour. He smiled, it was like the first time they met at his office when she decided to ruin John's life. He was wearing a black sweatshirt and pants. Much in the same colors as what Avery is wearing."How are you? Where are you going?" He asked as he looked at her outfit. She chuckled, "Just a walk." He cleared his throat, signalling that he was about to ask something important. "Is everything alright? I read the article about the break-up." Avery lightly smiled, "You know I don't belong there."He looked at her as if she was wrong. "Let's walk" She raised her eyebrow in confusion. "Aren't you supposed to do something or go somewhere?" He then pointed a small corgi looking by the tree. "I'm just walking the dog"Avery smiled as both of them walk. The little corgi followed upon seeing them. It didn't have a leash but it seemed to be obedient to its owner. "I know what kind of person you are ba
Not Her Usual Target Chapter 44: Her Friend's Advice
Avery was too tired to even wake up from the constant ringing of her phone. She only realized that someone was looking for her when she heard a loud bang on her door the following day. She jolted up, thinking that no one would dare do that to her apartment especially when not a lot of people know her place. She grabbed her robe, wrapped it around her body, and head to the door. When she opened it, she saw a tired-looking Jane. "What happened to you?" Avery asked as she let her friend in. Jane was catching her breath as she walked to the small living room. Jane took a deep breath and looked at Avery. She held her phone to her friend's face, where Avery saw the article about her and Carson breaking up. "What happened? I've been calling you since last night because I want to know how are you and you're not picking up---" Avery cut her friend off, "Why are you worried about me?" Jane looked at her bestfriend as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "I am your bestfriend. We
Not Her Usual Target Chapter 43: Her Goodbye
Avery moved her body closer to the wall. It's wasn't like she was afraid but she was worried that the elevator would have another malfunction. On the other hand, Carson stood still as he pressed the button."We're stuck" He commented as if it wasn't the most obvious thing to say. He then saw a light coming from Avery's side as she opened the flashlight of her phone. "I'm sure they already noticed what happened. We can just wait for them to come." She replied. Her tone was confident and calm. He sighed and decided to sit by the corner. The area suddenly became cold and he hugged his legs. Avery decided to sit as well but far from him. They were both silent as they waited for the rescue to come. Avery wanted to talk to him but she couldn't find the right words to say. "Carson""Who asked you to do this? Is it Ji?"Avery knew he would ask this and this was the perfect time to come clean. "At first, it was just me. I think by now you have found out what kind of person I am. I wasn'
Not Her Usual Target Chapter 42: Her Next Move
Avery frowned as she saw Ji's facial expression. A smile formed on his lips as he watched the scene. He knew this was going to happen that is why he invited Carson for lunch. "I...." Avery's voice cracked when Carson walked away. For some reason, she couldn't lie to his face. She couldn't say her alibi because of how he looked like. She feared that this day would come and she would see him this hurt. Tim turned to Ji who was pleased and he couldn't help but frown. He turned to Avery who watched Carson leave the restaurant. At that moment, he knew that she really loved him and there was something that drove her to do this. Her hands trembled as she turned to Tim. Tim, on the other hand, lightly smiled. "I guess Carson thought of it differently. But thank you for helping me decide a gift for my wife." Avery's eyes widen while Ji raised an eyebrow. Tim turned to Ji, "I'm sorry. This is a huge misunderstanding. Since you're the one who brought Carson here, mind helping my friend Av
