SORRY MR. BILLIONAIRE I DON'T WANT YOU BACK Steal The Spotlight
Ava looked at Elliot, then at Bella, who shook her head at her, trying to dissuade her from speaking.Ava could feel the eyes of everyone in the room on her, but it didn't get to her."Can we get on with this meeting?" Daphne's sharp voice pierced through the silence; her eyes narrowed in disdain.She sat in her chair like a queen, her cold expression daring anyone to challenge her."We don't have all day Ava," Elliot said, his voice calm but encouraging, giving her a small, supportive smile.Before Ava could respond, Bella quickly interjected, "Okay, why don't I step in and—""I said," Ava interrupted, standing up as she added, "What is the unique selling point?" Her eyes locked on Daphne as she continued, "All that is listed is unique, sure, but nothing screams at me or grabs my attention."Daphne's eyebrows shot up, her lips curling into a sneer as she said, "And what exactly do you know about fashion to say all that?" her voice filled with mockery, adding, "We aren't making clothe

The silence at the table was thick with tension as Clara and Wyatt glared at Tyler."What does Avery have to do with anything?" Tyler asked, his voice rising, eyebrows knitted together in frustration.Wyatt leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. "The fact that you even know her is the problem.""How could you be so reckless?" Clara snapped, her eyes narrowing, "You got something this important handled by someone inside the organization? Without thinking?""I didn't think—" Tyler began, his tone defensive."Clearly, you didn’t!" Clara cut him off, her voice sharp and laced with anger. "You put us all at risk.""Mom! I’m not a child. I can clean up my own mess. Avery isn’t some loose end. She’s loyal to me!" Tyler shot back."Loyal? There’s no loyalty in this war, Tyler. How long do you think that loyalty will last if someone offers her something better? More money, perhaps?" Clara asked, scoffing.Tyler glared at his mother, replying, "You don’t know her like I do. She wouldn’t b

Elliot and Daphne looked back to see who had called his name. Standing there amid the chaos was Joel, an urgent look on his face as he signaled for Elliot to come over."Joel?" Elliot muttered to himself, his brows furrowed in confusion.Joel was his personal assistant, and the fact that he had come only meant one thing—meetings.Nathan gently pulled Daphne away from the group to the back of the room, approaching Joel."Humm, everyone, let's be calm," Mick's voice broke through the murmurs.The room became silent as they quieted down to hear what Mick had to say."We'll reach a conclusion regarding the SPARK designer soon, but for now, let's all focus on working on the design as earlier stated," Mick continued, finally getting everyone's attention."Okay, Hmmm, I believe this is where I step in," Bella said, standing up at Mick's signal."Yes, thank you," Mick muttered as he handed over the mic to her."Okay, hello everyone, I'm Bella, the creative director for this project. I'm going

"From the look on your face, I'm assuming you know about this," Peter said, his eyes narrowed."I am just... fi…" Nathan tried to explain, but his father cut him off."Why would you do that? Why?" Peter asked, looking disappointed."Dad, if you listen to me, I will explain it all. I'm as surprised as you are too," Nathan replied, spreading his hand in frustration."Now your grandfather is back; isn't that all you wanted? If anything happens to him, it's going to be on you, Nathan," Peter said.Before Nathan could reply, Peter turned and walked out of the room, leaving Nathan standing there confused."What just happened?" Nathan muttered to himself as he stared at the door.Mike walked back into the office, looking as confused as Nathan."What's wrong?" Mike asked."I have no idea," Nathan replied, slliding down into his seat as he added, "I think it has something to do with the missing files.""How did he find out? You just found out yourself, and that is because you asked for it," Mi

Elliot left with Joel to attend a very important business meeting, hoping that Mick was capable of taking care of everything.Daphne walked over to her bag, picked it up, and signaled her team to come with her, leaving the meeting."That will be all. Let's not forget to come up with textile ideas for our different prototypes; it will save us a lot of time," Bella announed looking at Daphne's retreating team with a rasid brow at Mick, who just shrugged.There were several nods in the room, signaling an understanding of what Bella was saying."Okay, so Mick will hand out some documents to you as we wrap up," Bella continued."Will the next meeting be here because it's not stated in the timetable, seeing as we've been changing locations?" Someone said from the middle, a sign of Pride Fashion on her shirt."Uhmm, thank you for that question, Mirable; by the next meeting we would communicate a permanent location that we would be using going forward; apologies for the stress," Mick said, ad

Nathan's body became rigid at Nora's statement. His heart was pounding as he was taken back in time to that night."Nora, come out of there and meet me at the La Cuisine," Nathan mumbled into the phone."No, Nathan, come here if you want to dine with me," Nora replied stubbornly."F*ck," Nathan muttered, rubbing his temple to rub of an oncoming headache."It's been how many years, Nathan? Please come here; this place holds a lot of memories for us. Why do you insist on not coming?" Nora asked, her voice sounding low through the phone."Nora I don't want to talk about it," Nathan muttered."Nathan?" Mike called, looking at Nathan with concern.Nathan raised a finger, signaling for him to be given a minute. Mike nodded and stepped into the car."That's what you say every time. I know this has something to do with Ava," Nora replied, not backing down."I thought the whole essence of this was for us to make amends? Why are you trying to get on my fr*king nerves, Nora?" Nathan asked, his v

Nathan and Nora looked up to see Tyler and a new lady standing behind them. An amused look on his face at the look of frustration on Nora's."What are you doing, Tyler?" Nathan asked."Isn't' that obvious, to eat, of course?" Tyler replied with a grin."Then get yourself a table and leave us alone," Nora replied, adding, "I see it's a new face again today.""Oh, Silver, meet Nora, my sister-in-law, and my brother, Nathan," Tyler introduced."Hello, nice to meet you." Silver replied with a warm smile as she added, "You look so alike, almost like twins.""Yeah, everyone says that; I guess we've got our dad to thank for that," Tyler replied with a grin."Here's your table, sir." A waiter said to Tyler, pointing at the table beside Nathan's."Oh wow, what a coincidence," Tyler muttered, feigning surprise.Nathan turned to Nora and asked, "Do you want to leave now?""Oh, don't leave because of me; I very much want to be a part of your last discussion." Tyler said, adding, "Like I said earl

The hand that gripped her was firm, and it felt almost familiar that Ava quickly looked up.“This is becoming a habit,” Elliot said with a smile as he held her.Nathan’s eyes were glued to the sight before him, and for a split second, he felt a shift inside. It was not anger, but the sight made him feel off.“Thank you,” Ava said, steading herself as he pulled her up.“Elliot? You didn’t say you were coming over,” Mick said, looking surprised.“Yes, I know. I just thought I’d come over to have the steak and go; I figured you guys must have left already,” Elliot replied, his arm still on Ava’s waist."We were just on our way out," Bella interjected."Okay, that's fine," Elliot replied with a smile, then said to Ava, "You should watch where you go.""I will thank you," Ava replied.As Elliot looked up, his eyes caught Nathan sitting at the center of the restaurant, with Tyler's table right beside him."Nathan?" Elliot called in surprise."Let's go," Nora told Elliot, an air of authority

Daphne turned to look at Nathan, her brows raised as she asked, "What question?""Would you mind if we took it away from here? It's quite important." Nathan stated."If it's important, I guess it can wait a few more minutes," Daphne stated, turning to face Elliot.Nathan was not surprised by her response, putting into consideration the fact that she was currently really pissed at Elliot."Could you guys give us a minute? We will join you all shortly," Elliot stated, taking Daphne by the hand and walking out of the building.Elliot walked a few feet to the right of the building before turning into a corner. Only then did he let go of Daphne's hand."For god's sake, what the f*ck did you just pull in there?" Elliot asked, totally pissed."Nothing less than the reaction you are supposed to get when you don't consult me before making some certain decision." Daphne shot back at him.Her eyes were hardened, almost blazing with fire as she tried to stare Elliot down.Elliot brushed his left
SORRY MR. BILLIONAIRE I DON'T WANT YOU BACK My Question
Nathan stood up and walked a few feet away from the table before turning back to face Elliot."I need to speak with your designer," Nathan stated.Elliot was silent for a few seconds, unsure what Nathan was trying to imply."Okay, would you care to explain? Because I'm aware you already have a designer for your project," Elliot responded."I can't really go into specifics right now," Nathan stated."Okay, who specifically do you want to speak with?" Elliot asked, adding, "Bella or some other fashion house designer, who I know you can meet on your own without coming to me.""I can't explain anything for sure right now; I need to speak with your major partner," Nathan stated."Okay, hold on, what exactly is going on? You don't sound like your usual self," Elliot said, his eyes squinting in concern before adding, "Does this have to do with your grandfather?"Nathan's head snapped to Elliot in surprise at his words."What? I should know there is only one person who has the capacity to mak

"Dad, what do we do?" Emily asked her father.The embarrassment of the day before had been weighing heavily on her mind."What else can we do? She is practically untouchable right now," Amelia stated.Emily raised her eyebrows, an angry look crossing her face as she responded, "Says who, Mom?" She is going to pay for this; I swear she will. How high can she rise again?""Enough, the both of you! We need to come up with a plan," her father snapped at them, his brow furrowed in thought."I really don't think we should go against Ava anymore; she is no longer the girl we used to know. What if she decided to come make us pay for what we did to her all those years ago?" Amelia asked in concern."She won't, because I won't let her," Emily stated firmly."Shut up! Nobody is making anyone pay; we need to find a way to get into her good books right now," Charles stated.Emily's hand clenched into a fist beside her at her father's words."Why do we need to do that?" Emily shot at her father."W

Nathan's eyes narrowed, his hand clenching into a fist, as his jaw tightened.His voice was cold and sharp as he responded, "I have no idea what Tyler is talking about.""I don't think we should do this here," Peter interjected, looking between Timothy and Nathan."I agree," Mike stated, a nervous look coming to his face."Shut the f*ck up; you don't have a say here," Tyler responded to Mike."It's not going to be much of a problem if Tyler just tells us what he knows," Wyat said with a satisfied grin."I don't want that," Peter snapped, shutting Wyatt up."We will have this conversation at the office tomorrow then," Timothy stated, signaling for someone in the crowd."That would be better; we can't have everyone staring at us for having a family spat right now," Peter added."Okay, if that would be all, I guess we are done here, right?" Nathan stated, looking at everyone before adding, "Good night."He walked away from the group and headed to the entrance. Mike followed him closely,

"Hello ma'am, nice to meet you," The staff greeted Ava.Their faces were filled with pleasure at meeting their new CEO. Oliver and Mr. Clark were walking her through the various departments in the building."Thank you all for the good work over the years. I hope to have a splendid time working here with you all," Ava responded with a smile.As they left the office, Ava looked at Oliver and asked, "How many offices do we have to go to?""Not much; I think it's just the human resource department and IT department," Oliver replied."Okay," Ava muttered as they entered an elevator at the end of the hall."After the introductions, we would be heading to your office on the last floor," Mr. Clark interjected."Okay, and what is the last floor?" Ava asked curiously.Mr. Clark only grinned at her and kept mute as Oliver tried not to laugh beside them."What?" Ava asked, but they didn't give her a response.After a few seconds, Oliver stated, "I guess we'll find out soon enough.""Oh, and that

"Really? Who is it?" Someone asked from the group.All eyes were glued to Mick, expecting his answer, wishing it was their own design that won."The winner for the design submission is," Mick replied."I have something to say before that," Daphne stated coldly.Her voice cut through the excitement like a sword as she stood up to face the crowd.Mick turned to look at her, noticing her expression for the first time."Hmm, of course," Mick muttered, stepping aside for her."So, the winner announcement would be put on hold for now," Daphne stated.There were silent murmurs as everyone looked confused, glancing from her to Mick."Okay, hold on, why? Mick just mentioned that he has the winner's name with him." Bella stated.Daphne turned towards her, her gaze freezing as she turned her icy stare at her."I see no reason why I should give you a response here; if Elliot is not around, I'm as good as being in charge." Daphne muttered.A surprised gasp rose up from the crowd as they all stood

"Don't you think we need to go see them at the school?" Bella asked as she packed her bag."Stop running!" Ava shouted to Jenna, who was running after Angel up the stairs."Come on, buddy, the competition is going to happen eventually. Okay, I'm sure they probably have a reason for shifting it forward," Brad said, patting Jordan on the back."I don't think there is any point in going; Nora was probably just messing with me when she called," Ava replied with a shrug."Why would she do that?" Bella asked."If I know her, which I kind of do, she is just trying to rub it in my face," Ava muttered."Well, I guess the joke is on her now, Ms. CEO," Brad teased.Ava smiled, moving over to Jordan as Brad stood up to head out the door."I'll see you guys later," Brad called over his shoulder."Bye, Dad!" Angel shouted from the stairs where she was now sitting with Jenna."Bye, darling," Brad replied, blowing her a kiss before stepping out the door."Hey sweetheart, don't worry; the competition

Monday morning came faster than anticipated after the long weekend with its shock and unexpected turn of events.The Crawford Group head office was abuzz with activity as guests moved through the lobby. The event was taking place at one of the halls located in the building."Looks like it's going to be a big one."

For a few seconds, Nora struggled to find the words with which to respond to Tyler."Didn't mean to get you all scared, you know, just saying how bad it's going to look if Nathan finds out what happened in LA," Tyler muttered."You wouldn't dare!" Nora replied, her voice low and hardened as her eyes darted around the room, a flicker of tension betraying her tough behavior."Oh, you should worry about yourself; I just might tell him when you least expect it. That's why they say karma's a b*tch," Tyler responded, folding his hand on his chest."Then I bet you, you're going to lose all you ever hold dear; hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, Tyler. Thomas is going to get acknowledged as Nathan's heir, and then you're going to be worthless like you are meant to be," Nora spat at him in disdain.The smile on Tyler's face faded away as he took three steps closer to Nora, pushing back against a couch.Tyler leaned close, his lips to her ear as he whispered, "Oh, I would like to see you tr
