Silence dragged on between both of them as Avery stared at him in shock. She wish the ground could just open up and swallow her. With swift move, she reached the elevator button and pushed it. "Wait!" He exclaimed and made to hold the elevator. Luckily, he was fast enough. Avery cursed under her breath when the door opened again. She avert her gaze and watch him stepped in through the corner of her eyes. The door closed and she stood straight, having her cold aura again. Silence dragged on between them again. He was tall and built probably three times her size, his scent was alluring. Lucas Xander,the second son of the Xander cooperation. One of the biggest cooperation on new York. He is many women dreams, he have a cheerful around him with a crazy vibe... But when it comes with business and rivals, he becomes a strict devil. "Good morning Mrs president" Lucas deep voice broke the silence. "Morning" Avery replied shortly. She still feel uncomfortable, she was still scolding hers

"Thank you Mrs president, I trust your decision""I'm sorry, I couldn't help, I talked to her but it was still the same. You can try other agency I'm sure they'll accept you" Elsa said to Trevor.Trevor made a sad face collecting the file from her. "She didn't say why she rejected me?" Trevor asked."It's her decision to make. I'm sorry, bye, I have to leave" Elsa bow lightly and made to leave."All I wanted is to make a life for myself an treat my sick mother. I thought she'll be of help because of how she is being worshipped on the internet but I guess I'm wrong. Insignificant people like me doesn't matter" he spoke enough for her to hear.Elsa exhaled
Lucas expression remain the same though he was shocked by her boldness. She is just as crazy the business world had called her. Well this is going to be exciting."Let's back to business" he said and retreated himself from her and went to sit.Avery also sit too, she head held high."So we'll start by getting to know some of the business men and women who are going to help us with this contract..

Even Chloe was surprised by what Max just said."We are to work in the same office?" Avery
"I swear mom, I don't know this lady. She just came out of nowhere and claim to have a child for me, and you believed her?" Calton asked as his eyes dart from Chantel and Dominic standing before him"We just need to confirm from you first. Those who saw the lady yesterday had spread this news. Are you sure that is the truth, before we go into investigation" Chantel said."Yes I'm hundred percent sure, I've never seen this lady, she probably a fans trying to cause a scene" Calton shrugged.Dominic's eyes squinted, Calton seems to be sure about what he just say. Chantel also think the same."Okay dear, go talk to Elsa. She might need your comfort at the moment" Chantel said.Calton understood and did what she said. He knocked on Elsa's door lightly. "Calton?" Elsa muttered, she didn't expect to see him."Can I come in?" He asked."Of course" She opened the door and let him in. "It's good you are actually here. I was cooking, we can eat together" she said and made to go to back to the k
Grandpa Xander lips parted a little as he stared at both of them."Grandfather, this is Mrs Avery Winfrey, and vice versa" Lucas said calmly."Hello Mr Xander. It's a pleasure meeting you" Avery greeted with a smile. Even with this man's old age, he look strong and have this strong Aura around him. Grandpa Xander lips stretched up afterwards and he spoke again. "Oh my, you're Steven's granddaughter.. you've grown to look exquisite my Lady" Lucas gave him a look. "Don't make her heart flutter with your lies Grandpa" he said lowly but Avery heard him."Says the man who doesn't reach half of my beauty" Avery said. Grandpa Xander smiled hearing this.. what a bold woman."Half your beauty, you say?" Lucas raised his brow at her.Avery ignored him and face Grandpa Xander. "Sorry it's coming late, Happy birthday. I wish you more life" She smiled."I guess my clumsy grandson didn't let you know on time" Grandpa Xander said and they both chuckled while Lucas rolled his eyes. Chloe on the oth
Chantel decided to make reserches on the boy, his name was Julius, three years old who is fighting for his life. Chantel asked for a DNA test knowing that is the best idea.Calton walked into a room where he met Delphine waiting for him. Delphine who had been so nervous of meeting him slowly raised her head to him. The way the man stared at her made her heart dropped.He took slow steps and sat before her. His eyes held no emotion as he stared at the lady before him. He took in her features. Though she is lean but she has a good body frame."I.." she made to speak but her voice came out hoarse. She continued. "I'm sorry for the trouble, I didn't mean to do it" "So how did we meet?" Calton asked, Chantel had asked him not to be hard on her. There are so many questions running through his mind and he have to ask one after the other."Four years ago, Plaza Hotel.. I.. " Delphine stopped and took a deep breath.Calton frowned, Plaza hotel? Four years ago? That was when the incident happe
"kiss me"Lucas word repeated in Avery's head before she could finally realized what he had just said."Are you drunk?" Her eyes squinted as she observe the man before her. Max also wonder if his boss is drunk too. "No, I'm perfectly fine.. but I'm wondering the same. You seem like someone who wouldn't care if I die on the cold street" Lucas said with a sly smile."Do you really think I'm someone that cruel? I don't care about you.. I just don't want a corpse on my head.. people would actually think I killed you" She said pouted her lips a little. "So in one sentence.. you are worried about me" Lucas raised his brow and Avery glared at him."You know what fine.. don't eat" She said and went to sit.Just then Lucas draw the food close to himself and open to eat. Avery and Max looked at him with shock."I'll always do the opposite of what you say Mrs president" Lucas said and began to eat. "I'll be leaving" Max bow a little and left.After he was done, Lucas face his work."Aren't yo
"What are you doing?" Delphine asked shifting backward. Her face squeeze with confusion."What do you think huh?" Elsa smirked as she stepped close "I'm here to cut you into pieces bitch. Do you really think you can steal my happiness?" She chuckled."You do you really have to be this way? You are the one who lied to him to begin with. You made him think you are the one who he slept with. Well Elsa.. you can't change fate by acting like a slut" Delphine spoke, her face shows she wasn't afraid.Elsa chuckled. "Why can't you be silent huh?" "I can't.. my mouth is not for fashion but for the truth. You're becoming a monster Elsa, without knowing" Delphine said. "People like you find happiness in a wrong way, not caring if it hurts another""Just shut up!" Elsa yelled. "Fine, I pretended to be you.. so what?! You lost your chance and I grabbed it! I'm going to kill you today Delphine""Bravo" A voice sounded and a figure came out from a hiding place. Chantel!Elsa's eyes widened and the
Elsa tried to stop staring at the affectionate couple, but couldn't stop herself. "Elsa" Trevor called gently, waking her up from her trance. She cleared her throat and look elsewhere. Why is she feeling bad anyway, she is now with Trevor. "You're feeling bad?" Trevor asked beside her."I just need to visit the restroom" Elsa spoke and stood up immediately, while Trevor has a hard look on his face."Why do you have to do that?" Delphine asked when they sit. "I don't want anyone to bully you" Calton replied. He had asked Max to bring him another suit already."I need to visit the restroom, I'll back soon" Delphine said. Calton nodded."I'll escort" He said."Don't worry it's fine, I can handle myself" she said. Calton battled inwardly before he finally let her go. Delphine stood and head towards the restroom. Getting there, she came before Elsa who was about to head back to the hall. They both stared at each other for a while."How do you feel after snatching what's mine.. huh? You'
Dominic's eyes remain cold as he stared at the picture before him. It was a picture of a deadly criminal and beside him was the woman his wife told him about.. Yasmine..Knowing the fact that this woman was here to trouble his wife, he decided not to go easy on her.Enzo walked into the office with a handsome smile on his face. "Boss" he greeted."Welcome" Dominic smile at him too. "How was the business trip?" He asked."It was good. Mr. Felix is quite impressive and accurate. I'm glad I didn't use a whole months there" Enzo replied."Take a leave, your wife is waiting for you" Dominic said."Of I will, I only came here to say Hi.. do you think I came here for work?" Enzo asked and Dominic slowly raised his cold eyes to him."Nevermind. You're working today" Dominic said."No" Enzo replied."I said you're working""No I'm not" Enzo replied and Dominic exhaled. Enzo spot Dominic's coffee on the table and grab it instantly. "Wow, I need this""Drop it" Dominic warned but Enzo made to dr
Lucas let out a low groan as her lips met his, and he immediately responded to her kiss. Their tongues found each other as they explored the inside of each other's mouths. The only sound that could be heard was the soft smacking of their lips as they kissed. Lucas felt a sense of urgency as they kissed, a need to get closer, to have more. He pulled her closer to him, pressing his body against hers. He traced his hand down to her thighs and lift her up, placing her gently on the table behind her. Avery wrap her arms around him as the kiss drives her crazy. Her body ignited just at the intense moment. Lucas broke the kiss after a long while and Avery whimpered a little. Their face inches from each other and their breath hitting each other's face. "We still have time" Lucas said and Avery nodded lightly. "I'll be sleeping in the mansion" he said and made to leave but Avery held him back. "Stay with me" She said and Lucas look back at her. "The couch is enough to fit both of us" They
Yasmine flared up in her car hitting the driver's seat from behind multiple times. She took a deep breath in anger and groan out."She called me stupid. I'm going to kill her!" She flared up. Grabbing her phone she made a call with someone. "Can you believe that bitch called me stupid for going after her? I only want to avenge the death of my sister and she insulted me?!" She spat when the person on the other side picked."Mom, you need to calm down" Trevor who was busy getting his make up done said."Calm down? Do you know how humiliated I felt? I badly want to rip her throat off" she said.Trevor pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. The Winfrey family is sure annoying."I'm going to do something about it" Trevor said."You better do cus I'm losing my patience already. I'm also going to find what I'm going to do" The call ends afterwards. Trevor face remain calm but one could feel the anger emitting from him."It's all done mister" The make up artist informed.Trevor went to m
"You've got to be kidding me" Avery muttered."We can go into the mansion, if you want" He said."No, I don't want anyone to know I'm here" Avery replied. It'll be so awkward for her. Especially once they find out she is about to spend the night here."You can go sleep in the mansion, I'll stay here" She said and Lucas chuckled."Are you sending me away?" He asked raising his brow."Your room is in the mansion. What? You want to sleep here?" Avery asked. Though, the place was comfortable for one to live in."I prefer staying there than my room. Here is quiet and comfortable. I don't allow anyone in here.. well except you" He said lightly still keep his gaze on the fire before him. Avery was conflicted by Lucas's words. Should she be grateful that he was allowing her to stay here, or was it his obligation to help her? She took a deep breath to calm her turbulent thoughts. The cold air was making her shiver, and her damp clothes were clinging to her body.As if sensing her discomfort,
Delphine froze hearing his hand word. His house? That was the last thing she expected for him to say. She made to speak but the man went to open the door for her with a serious look on his face."Calton, I don't.." "Get in, Delphine. Don't worry about the cloths or any luggages that you have here. Just come with me" he spoke and she swallowed. Not able to argue back, Delphine entered the car. Calton did the same and zoom off with her.Delphine kept stealing a glance on the man whose while focus was on the road before him. His face was cold as ice, she couldn't help but stay quiet.Little while longer, the car entered a large gate with several securities guarding the place, the car drive in, and Delphine lips dropped as she saw the magnificent building outside the car window. Is this where he lives? It was so beautiful she kept staring not noticing the man had step down from the car.He opened the door for her to step down too and she did without any question. She was still carrying s
"The magazine just started last year and they are quite impressive to reach their level at a short amount of time. They never had an international model help with their shoot before. They sent an invite to you and I think you should take it" Rana said, then look at the quiet guy whose eye was focused in the book with him."Okay" He replied, flipping the page of his book."You're not going to ask why I decided to choose this company even when they are not famous" Rana said."I believe in you Rana" Calton replied and look at her. "And I've learnt not to look down on any contract, whether big or small" he added and return his gaze to his book.Rana chuckled. "You're just like your mother""You've said that twice today" Calton said. His phone rang afterward. Seeing the ID caller, he smiled before picking it up."Hey" Delphine's voice sounded over the phone."Hi, how are doing?" Calton asked, his face lit. Rana noticed and smiled secretly."I'm good. Okay, Davidson won't stop throwing tant
His lips moved against hers not minding the stare coming from other people surrounding them. Avery wanted to push him away but couldn't because of the shock.Chloe who saw this quickly took a picture and squealed on her spot.After a while, Lucas pulled back and stared at the stun woman before him. Avery swallowed hard. She didn't even realize she had been staring at him for a long time, until the man spoke."It worked Mrs President, he is gone" he said looking behind her.Avery looked back and saw Robert retreating already. Her eyes slowly turn cold as the shifted to Lucas. "The fuck did you just do?!" "I just helped you chase him away, why are you glaring at me?" He shrugged.It took everything in her not to punch him hard on the face. They are still at the function so she did the best thing she could think of, she turn around and left.Lucas could only sigh.At night, Avery lay on her couch with a pillow on her face. She couldn't get the scene of Lucas kissing her out of her hea
