Chapter 17: This man will die in money. The next day, Ava woke up late. She sat straight on the bed and yawned loudly. Her eyes fell on the clock, and she was shocked to the bone to see that it was already 11:20 AM. She rubbed her eyes to be sure she wasn't mistaken. What the heck? She's not the type that wakes up late, so why the heck did she wake up late? Or was it because this was the best place she had ever slept so far? It is worth it though. The air conditioner was very active, and the bed was very soft. This is the best bed she has ever slept on. She almost thought she was on a water bed. None of the Smith family will ever get the chance to sleep in this kind of bed. Her lips curved upward slightly when she remembered she would not marry Andrew. She now married the wealthiest and the most handsome guy on earth. Though it's a contract marriage, it is still worth it for someone to brag about. She will get to live a good life from today onward. She will be living in the best hous
Chapter 18"It is the maid, ma'am. I am here to give you a dress." The feminine voice came from outside and a smile broke on Ava's lips."You can come in."The maid pushed open the door and entered. She walked over to her and bowed politely."Good morning ma'am. Here is your dress." She handed the dress over to her and she collected it."Thank you." She said with a big smile on her face and the maids left after bowing politely."Wow. This dress is just so beautiful." She said and hugged it tightly. She dried her hair with the hair dryer and slipped into the dress. She wondered how the maid knew that she needed a dress urgently though. This is just too good.She stared at her reflection through the mirror and widened her eyes in surprise."Wow. This looks so good on her. She never knew she was this beautiful. The dress made her look even more beautiful. It was an off-shoulder white dress, and it clutched at her upper body. Her hair smells so nice, and her skin even looks much whiter.
Chapter 19."Where are you going, ma'am?" One of the bodyguards asked.Ava stopped in her tracks immediately and flashed the bodyguard a grin."I need to go to my friend's house. I won't be late. Are you eager to find me already?" Ava asked and blinked her eyes cutely. The bodyguards couldn't help but laugh. The new ma'am is very friendly and cute."Let me follow you then." The bodyguard said and took a step closer to Ava. "What is your name?""Caleb.". Caleb replied with a polite smile on his lips. "Caleb. Don't follow me. I hate it when someone follows me around, so please don't follow me. And I can take care of myself. I know how to fight. Or do you want me to beat you up first for you to believe me? I'm a very good fighter. I only want to take something there. It's not like I will take long " "Alright, ma'am," Caleb responded with a bow. He went to stand back in his position. Ava smiled and walked out of the house. She boarded a taxi and went straight to Abigail's house. She
Chapter 20. "Let's see what you can do then. You all think I can not beat him?" She asked with a raised brow. "I will show you all." She said and cracked her knuckles. "Alright, ma'am. I will grant you your wish. But I will be very easy on you. I don't want to get my head rolling on the floor for hurting you." The bodyguard said with a laugh. "Don't go easy on me. Fight me the same way you would fight your opponent. It would be boring if you went easy on me." "Let's start then," the bodyguard said and Ava's lips curved upward slightly. Everyone was watching with so much interest in their eyes. They are eager to know if Ava can truly fight or not. Ava waited for the bodyguard to attack her, but the guy just remained where he stood. It was as if his feet were glued to the ground. It was clear that the guy did not want to attack her first. She smiled and ran to the bodyguard. She tried to attack him, but the guy was too fast. He moved swiftly and avoided all her attacks. Ava kept o
Chapter 21. "What are you going to do there?" He asked with a raised brow. His eyes were cold and Ava shivered instantly. This man is truly the king of hell. "Am I speaking another language now?" He asked with a raised brow when Ava did not reply to him. A layer of frost could be seen on his forehead. He looks so scary. "That is where I work." Ava managed to reply to him without stuttering. She's so scared that she almost pees in her pants. But why was he asking what she was going to do in the bar though? Is that not where they met? She screamed in her head. His eyes scanned her body once again, and he sneered "And is that why you dressed like this?" "But what concerns you with the way I dressed?" Ava almost yelled at him, but she refrained from doing so. That bastard. She forced out a smile. "This is our uniform. And it's a must for every bartender to wear a uniform to work.". She replied. Trying her best to sound polite. Damien remained silent and rested his back on the couc
Chapter 22.The next day. Ava covered her ears as the alarm clock continued to ring. She was about to kick it away when she remembered she would start working at Silver Corporation starting today. Her eyes flew open and sprang up on the bed. She must not be late on her first day at work. Though Damien is her husband. He will only scold her for coming late to work and will never fire her. But she doesn't joke with her work at all. She always wants to do it to perfection. That's just her nature.Her eyes fell on the clock and she saw it was 7:20 AM. If she remembered correctly. Abigail told her they do resume work by 8:00. She only has forty minutes left."Holy crap." She cursed under her breath. She remembered she had no clothes to wear to the office. She can't just wear any casual clothes to work or else she will be the topic of the company. She fished out her phone and quickly ordered a dress. She could only hope that the dispatch rider came to deliver it on time. She ran straight to
Chapter 23.Ava clenched her fist tightly. She's so angry right now that nothing could contain her anger. How dare that bitch. She's afraid she will lose control of herself. She's not the gentle type and will never allow anybody to bully her. How dare this bitch look down on her. Though she and Damien are in a contract marriage. But they are still married by law. How dare this bitch look down on her boss's wife. She closed her eyes and tried her best to suppress her anger. She opened her eyes back and forced out a smile."I would appreciate it if you watch your tongue. I'm not that gentle you know. And I'm very sure you will not want to face my wrath." She said calmly. But one could tell it was calm before the storm. The receptionist looked frightened for a moment, but the fear soon disappeared and the hatred in her eyes returned."You are not gentle? How does that concern me How dare a lowlife like you talk to me that way? You must be crazy. You are just a crazy bitch who is trying
Chapter 24. "Why are you late?" Damien's cold voice rang through the room, sending shivers down her spine. Ava gulped down the lump in her throat. This is what she didn't want to face. She's so scared right now but still managed to act calm. "I... I am sorry sir. I... slept off... sorry. I didn't know that I had to resume work by eight." She said in a stuttering voice. "You didn't know?" He asked and Ava nodded "Then how did you finally know that you must resume work by eight?" He asked with a raised brow. Ava feels like slapping herself right now. It's like she just dug her own grave. Why did she mention eight? "Hahaha." She forced out a smile and rubbed her palms together nervously. "The thing is that. My friend also works here. I happened to see her when I was coming here, and she told me I was already late for work. I promise you, sir, this will never happen again. Forgive me today sir." She pleaded with her gaze lowered downward. "Let's believe what you said is the truth.
