SORRY MR. BILLIONAIRE I DON'T WANT YOU BACK The Chaos
Nora stared at the unknown number for a while, wondering who it was from. The text was hidden, so she had to unlock her phone to get the full message.'We should catch up, especially now that you are married to Nathan. Don't you think we have a lot to talk about?Save my number; you just might need to reach out. I just figured you would still use the same contact.love,Phillip'There was a wink emoji right underneath the text, which only served to increase her anger."What nonsense," Nora exclaimed as she shut her phone.Her driver looked at her through the rearview mirror, wise enough to know he was not supposed to comment."What the h*ll is he trying to do?" Nora muttered to herself.As she spoke, her driver turned into the drive down the estate towards the house."I need to do something fast," Nora mumbled under her breath as she got out of the car."Good night, Ms. Nora," her driver said.She didn't bother to answer as her mind was occupied with other thoughts.As she opened the

"You are going to what, Grandpa?" Nathan asked, his voice still hardened in anger.The whole room became silent as they looked from Nathan to Timothy."Can we stop this? Nathan, do not get your grandfather more angry," Nora pleaded."I will take the Crawford group from your hands and hand it over to Tyler," Timothy shouted, stomping his walking stick on the floor.It was like Timothy had dropped a bombshell in the room. There were several reactions to his statement."What?" Nathan exclaimed in shock."What?" Tyler stated in surprise."Oh," Clara muttered in excitement.Peter stood there, his face completely neutral as he looked from his father to his sons."No, you can't do that, Grandpa; I'm sure Nathan is sorry," Nora said quickly, rushing to Nathan's side."That is final, Nathan; my judgment is final." Timothy stated, his voice firm, leaving no room for argument as he turned towards the stairs."You can't do this, Grandpa. My mother worked for this; she sacrificed her life for this

"What text?" Ava asked, trying to stifle a yawn."From the Imperial College," Brad clarified as Lucy came out to set the table."How was work today?" Lucy asked them."It was exhausting," Bella exclaimed."All you need to get your stomach filled and you will be alright," Lucy replied with a warm smile.Ava looked at Brad and asked, "How did you know about the text?""Well, that's a short story I would like to tell," Brad replied with a smile."Okay, hold that thought; I need to get changed," Ava responded."We'll be right back," Bella added as they went up the stairs.A few seconds later, they headed down to the dining room where Brad was already seated with the kids."So, what is the story?" Bella asked."I met this Crawford lady at the school, remember the one with the attitude I told you about?" Brad asked."Yes, you mean Nora," Bella replied with a scoff."Hmm hmm, that's her," Brad stated."So what really happened?" Ava asked.Brad narrated the whole ordeal to them, and by the ti

Clara looked around to ensure they were alone again before she continued."I am talking about the workers we moved from the head office," Clara stated."Oh, I see," Wyatt responded, finally understanding what she meant."Yes, what have you done about them?" Clara asked."Nothing yet, but I'm planning to move them to another branch," Wyatt stated.Clara shook her head as she replied, "I do not think another branch would work; that would mean their names could be easily traced on the staff file, and we would have to involve the human resource department.""Then what do you have in mind?" Wyatt asked her."You're not going to like what I have in mind, but that seems to be the final decision right now," Clara replied."Let's hear it first, then I will decide if it's worth implementing," Wyatt told her."Okay, how about we do what we did all those years ago, the final one that would make us not worry about them anymore?" Clara whispered, her voice barely above a whisper.Wyatt's face became

"I mean, you have never really been so focused on one thing as much as you have on Ava." Beth said.Noah turned back to focus on the road ahead. He had no words with which to explain to her how exactly he felt, so he kept mute."I sincerely hope everything works out fine, though," Beth stated."Me too," Noah murmured."That reminds me, why the sudden change? You were supposed to work the night shift." Beth asked."I had some things I needed to get to tonight, one of which was to drive you home," Noah responded with a wink."Hey, don't put that on me," Beth replied with a chuckle."Okay, I won't," Noah responded."I just hope all our plans work out and all the effort we have put into them does not just go to waste," Beth stated as she sighed deeply."Hmm, hmmm," Noah muttered.As Noah drove into his street, Beth looked at him and stated, "You know when you said you were going to go into the clothing line, I didn't really think you were going to do so well."Noah raised his brow at her

He walked into the office like he owned it, looking straight at her.For a minute, Ava thought she was dreaming as she blinked again to be sure.“You look like I’m a ghost; you must really think me dead,” Nathan said as he stopped in front of her desk.“What are you doing here?” Ava asked, standing up abruptly from her seat.There was no way he would voluntarily come see her of his own accord, Ava thought.“That is no way to treat a guest.” Nathan stated with raised brows.Considering the awful day and night he had yesterday, he was pretty much being very calm, Nathan thought as he turned around.“Last time I was here I could not say congratulations; I guess it’s not too late to say it now,” Nathan stated.“You were here?” Ava asked.“Oh yeah, I just didn’t come up to see you,” Nathan replied.Ava’s brow rose up as his words sank in, and then after a few seconds, she shook her head and thought, What are you doing? you should be asking him why he is in your office.“What do you want, N

"Do you have something else you want to say?" Ava asked, staring past Kyla at Nathan.Nathan looked from Kyla to Ava, then shook his head and continued to walk out of the office.There was a scowl on Nathan's face as he walked towards the elevator. It was probably her former boss's kids that Nora had told him about the other day, he thought.- Meet me out front; I'm on my way down. -Nathan sent a message to Mike as he rode the elevator down to the lobby.A few seconds later, he stepped out of the building and climbed straight into the car."So, how did it go?" Mike asked as soon as Nathan got in."Not so well," Nathan replied.Mike looked back, his brows squeezed in a puzzle as he asked, "Are you fine?""Why won't I be?" Nathan asked sharply, his brows going up in question."Nothing," Mike replied quickly before adding, "You just look flustered, that's all.""I am fine, and coming here was a bad idea. I need you to send up a report of what my request is," Nathan replied in a hard voi

By the time they left Elegance and Style, Nathan had made up his mind on his next step."Where are we headed to, Mr. Crawford?" Lucas asked.Mike looked at Nathan through the rearview mirror and saw the resolve on his face."We are going to see the head of Creative," Nathan said, looking at Mike through the rearview mirror too."Now? We didn't make an appointment," Mike interjected as Lucas pulled out of the compound."Well, make one now, but I sure as h*ll will see her today," Nathan snapped."Oh boy," Mike muttered under his breath.He knew whatever had happened up in that office was the sole reason for Nathan's foul mood."Should we hope for the best from Ava, or do we have to look for textile somewhere else?" Mike asked.Nahan looked out the window, unsure how he was supposed to say he had been the one who didn't bring up business while he was up there."I'm sure she is smart enough not to allow personal grievances to affect business," Nathan responded."Okay, as good as that soun

Elliot's face has become blank as he stared at the tab on the desk in front of them."Really? I thought you never brought your designs to work." Ava stated as she looked up at Bella with raised brows."Well, I must have kept this sketchbook on my work table while going round the others to supervise." Bella said with a shrug."You don't look angry," Mick stated."Let's just say I was not really expecting much from her." Bella responded with a shrug."Mick, get Emily in here now," Elliot instructed.As Mick left the room, Ava turned to Elliot and asked, "What are you going to do?"Before Elliot could answer, the door swung open again to reveal Emily coming in with Mick."I see you must have made the right decision." Emily said, a proud smile on her face."Of course, we were just taking a more critical look at your designs, and it really opened our eyes," Bella said, an amused smile on her face."Of course, you should," Emily replied, walking casually over to a seat in the room and takin

"In as much as I love to watch what is going on, I really do think we need to take this somewhere else," Bella whispered to Elliot, stepping between him and Daphne.Elliot's eyes were unreadable as he kept staring at Daphne, wondering what was wrong with her."Hey, see, it's time to go for lunch break," Mick said out loud, drawing the attention from Daphne and Elliot."Yes, it is.""Hmm, hmm,"Were the responses from some persons in the group, while the majority still had their eyes on the two whose gazes were still locked in a fierce fight?"Everyone, we would just have a few minutes break, and then we would get back to deciding who the winner is," Mick announced, smiling nervously at the group.There were reluctant murmurs of disapproval as everyone around them walked away. Some glanced back to see what was going on while others walked out of the building to go get lunch.Emily and Mirabel stayed behind, with Emily staring daggers at Ava while Mirabel stood clueless as to what was g

Mr. Clark was at a loss as he stared at her, unsure of what she was asking."Could you repeat what you said?" Ava asked."I said they are requesting a refund," Mr. Clark replied."Yes, I heard that. It's the part of the money that I did not get," Ava responded."Oh, okay, it's a million dollars," Mr. Clark said again."How were we unable to make a delivery worth that amount?" Ava asked, looking around the room.The room fell silent as everyone stared at Ava. The department involved didn't know how to respond as it was their first time dealing with the new CEO."Is there no one who was in charge of it?" Ava asked."There is, um, that would be the head of the team," Mr. Clark replied."And who is that?" Ava asked."That is me, ma'am," someone said with their hand raised.Ava looked over and saw an elderly lady. She looked to be in her mid-forties."Okay, could you give me a rundown of what exactly happened?" Ava asked."Yes, I could," she replied."Hmm, please tell me your name," Ava re

The sun was up and the skies were clear, creating a beautiful backdrop for the day ahead. The gentle breeze rustled through the trees, bringing a sense of calm to the morning.Ava rolled to her back, staring at the ceiling as she thought about all that had happened yesterday."It's a new day to start fresh," Ava grumbled as she reached for her phone on the nightstand.Just then, it started to ring, signaling an incoming call. When she checked the caller ID, it was from Lilly."Tell me you found out who it was," Ava stated."Not yet, but it seems we would have to reveal a statement ourselves if we do not want people to think otherwise," Lily stated.Ava closed her eyes for a minute, her thoughts racing at what her next steps should be."Is there no way we can just deny it later by our work?" Ava asked."From what I saw, this is pretty high level, and if that brand chooses to come out into the limelight, then there is no amount of convincing that would correct that," Lily stated.Ava op

By the time Ava got home later that night, it was already late."Mummy," Jenna grumbled when Ava went to kiss them good night in their room."Love you, sweetheart," Ava muttered before closing the door behind her."Would you like Lucy to get anything for you?" Bella asked."No, hmmm, I'm full; I don't think I can stomach anything right now again."Alright, so how did it go?" Bella asked."you tell me, how did it go on your end? Were you able to go with Brad?" Ava asked."Yes, we were, and it was a lot of fun," Bella said with a wink."That sounds interesting, or did something else happen?" Ava asked."Yes, something did happen," Bella said with a grin."Spill, what is it?" Ava asked curiously."Now, remember what I asked you about in the garden at the back?" Bella asked."In the garden?" Ava muttered, trying to clarify."Yes, I was able to get an opportunity today. Guess who we saw at the program," Bella stated."Who did you see?" Ava asked.After a moment of thought, Bella shook her

Brad looked at the picture with him once again and then at the amused look on Amber's face.The picture was of an island with mountains surrounded by a lot of trees."Bella, it's a deal then," Brad said, looking up at her.Bella looked distracted as she looked past them at something."Bella?" Brad called, waving a hand in front of her."Hmmm, yes, of course, it's a deal," Bella said."Good, I'll get to work with other tables then," Amber said as she walked away.Bella glanced back again before returning to her table."Are you okay?" Brad asked."Yes, I am," Bella responded."Okay," Brad replied and got to work.Bella kept glancing back, her eyes fixed on him. For a minute she had thought it was Jordan, only for her to realize it was Nathan's son."Aunt Bella, see," Jordan called, showing her the start of his work."Good, don't worry. Ms. Amber will come check it, okay?" Bella said to him with a smile."Okay," Jordan said, returning to his painting.Over at Thomas's stand, he looked co

"Ava! Watch out!" Noah called out, pulling Ava just before the doors closed.Ava looked horrified as she realized she had been standing in between the door."What were you thinking?" Noah asked, his face filled with concern as he stared into her eyes."I wasn't, obviously," Ava mumbled as she stared at the door."Are you okay?" Noah asked."Yes, I am. What was I thinking?" Ava muttered, finally stepping away from Noah's hands."You should know better than to be on your phone when you should be focused on where you were going," Noah cautioned."I was lost in thought," Ava mumbled, smiling as she added, "I'm sorry, I scared you.""It's fine. Are you sure you can do dinner tonight?" Noah asked."You already made plans; I would not want to ruin…" Ava tried to say."Plans can be changed; you obviously have your mind on other things at the moment. Would you like to go for a walk?" Noah asked.Ava smiled and nodded, "Yes, thank you."They walked out of the building, the night air blowing gen

When Ava looked up from the files she was working on to check the time, her jaws dropped in surprise."How did that happen?" She asked herself, looking towards the glass wall at the city.She beeped for Kyla to come in as she stood up to stretch. She walked over to stare out at the city, looking at the chaos of traffic below."You wanted to see me," Kyla said as soon as she walked in."Yes, how did it get so late?" I've been staring at so many files that I didn't know it was this late," Ava said.Kyla smiled and replied, "Yes, time flies faster when you are busy. I tried to check in on you earlier, but you were so engrossed in the files that I had to step back.""Oh, I don't think I had lunch today," Ava muttered, staring at her wristwatch."No, you did not," Kyla replied."Going forward, no matter what I am doing, make sure I eat," Ava said.She was sure the fact that they were still getting to know each other and probably didn't want to get on her nerves was why she had not interrup

"Who?" Brad asked, looking back at her."It's Ms. Amber," Angel said, still looking in the direction she was pointing."Amber? Are you sure?" Brad asked Jenna, trying not to look bothered."Yes," Angel shouted again, looking up at him."I saw her too," Jenna added.Bella looked from the kids to Brad, and a plan formulated in her mind. This was the chance she had been waiting for."Okay, why don't you guys wait here while I go check to see if it truly is your dance teacher?" Bella said."Okay, can she come sit with us?" Jenna asked, looking from Brad to Bella."Well, of course, if that is what you all want, but that is up to her," Bella replied before leaving them.Brad struggled to focus his mind as he turned back to the kids. "Okay, why don't we wait for Aunt Bella over there?""Okay, Uncle Brad," Jordan said."Jordan, hold the ladies; we do not want them wandering around now." Brad instructed."Okay, Uncle Brad," Jordan replied, extending his hand to hold Angel and Jenna.They walke
