The young man was extremely shocked when he heard what Ava said. He sized Ava up again and his eyes immediately changed from that of curiosity to respect! He immediately bowed his head and revealed an awkward but apologetic smile. " I'm sorry, Ma. I ... I made a mistake because I heard Mr. Damon married a very pretty lady too. I'm so sorry, please forgive me. " He begged and Ava sneered. Mr. Damon was an handsome man who truly deserved to marry a pretty lady but Ava still felt annoyed that someone could think of her as his wife. Why did he not mention Harvey first? Did he feel like she wasn't worthy of being his wife and the only person he could mention was Mr. Damon? No matter how Ava thought about it, she still felt annoyed and she found it hard to easily forgive the man! She raised her head high and emitted the aura of a lady lord as she walked passed the man. " Take me to the meeting room 4." She told the man and without saying a word, he immediately led the w
Harvey must have been planning on how to scold Ava after the meeting but his eyes immediately lit up the moment he saw the file she was holding. He immediately walked toward her and collected the file from her " Ah! Thank you!" He mumbled as he checked the file and realized it was the exact one he needed. The men in the room who were wondering who she was all looked at her with light in their eyes when they realized she was Harvey's wife. They all greeted her and asked her some polite questions which she replied to. She was about to step out when one of the men sitting closer to Harvey stood up~ " As I said earlier, Olive company are ready to overtake us. If we are not careful, we might lose to them soon and we will be completely dragged down. They are coming up big and it's already affecting us " The man explained and Ava's legs froze! She immediately turned her head to look at the man and later dropped her attention to Harvey who was looking on with frustration ev
Ava listened carefully to Lewis explanation and her blood boiled. She had thought that Mr. Olive was a strong, experienced and an outright person who was able to beat Harvey to it in a truthful way but the truth was that? He actually betrayed his friend and wanted to ruin him? What?! Ava ran her fingers through her hair and grunted. She was so annoyed that she felt like going to Mr. Olive company and beat the hell out of him, to make him pay for what he did for Harvey and to teach him what it meant to be loyal to one's friend! " We are home already. " Lewis announced and Ava nodded. She did not wait for Lewis to open the car door for her before she opened it herself and stepped out from the car. She looked at her house and her heart ached. This was the house she was living in alongside her husband and despite the fact that he hated her, she knew he would come around one day and open up to her but how could that ever happen if he lost everything to his betray
Having arranged everything she needed, Ava left her computer and dropped her phone. She entered the bathroom where she had a nice shower before finally deciding to rest her already tired eyes. The night was peaceful without any disturbance whatsoever. She was strangely calm for a person who was about to risk her life and in fact, she had no bad dream at all! " Why do I feel like my life is nothing compares to his losses. Has the fact that I've lived here without paying rent for a month eaten me up so much?" Ava asked herself dejectedly when she woke up the next day. She checked the time and realized it was already 6. Ava let out a deep breathe and rolled around in her bed for a while. She would have been up since 4 on a normal day to prepare breakfast for Harvey but she no longer wanted that. She told herself since last night that she would no longer stress herself to prepare his breakfast because he failed to appreciate it and he wasn't feeling remorseful about it. Aft
Harvey sized Ava up and down again before he turned his back to leave without saying anything. Ava, who had expected him to scold her after hearing the things she said, was surprised that not only did he not scold her but he also left without saying anything? She breathed in relief and turned to face Lewis. " Let's quickly leave before he change his mind and come back to punish me." Lewis nodded his head and opened the car ~ " Let's leave, Madam!' He replied as he helped Ava into the car and he too rushed into the car and they immediately started the engine and drove off. Harvey watched the car drove out of the compound and smirked. " That girl is up to something. " He mumbled and his men shared glances before one of them walked over to him and bowed a little. " What are you talking about, Sir?" He asked and Harvey knitted his brows. He brought out his phone and checked the time " It's nothing. I was just thinking about my wife." He replied and turned his he
Amy dropped Ava Brown who had automatically became Eva Adams in front of Olive company and gave her some advise which could be helpful for her in the big but dangerous company. " You shouldn't forget anything I told you, okay? We can't have you get caught by those monster, alright?" Amy asked for the umpteenth time with concern in her pretty eyes. It was like she was having second thought now that they were in front of the company. Ava smiled sweetly and patted her gently. " It's okay baby. I will go in there and carry out our plan without any flaw. I'm going in." She assured her friend and breathed in. She looked at the company and smiled again as she made up her mind to enter. She turned back to look at Amy again and she mouthed something to her but she no longer hear as she walked into the company's compound. Amy watched Ava enter the company with worried filled gaze. This friend she just met less than a month ago had become part of her. She had found herself ful
Ava kept quiet for a while after replying the man as she needed few seconds to calm her already raging heart. She had tried her best to keep calm but the mockery of the man had triggered her emotions and she wished to curse them! " I like your answer. It greatly impressed me and to be sincere, the loyalty and the ambition in it makes me happy. " Mr. Olive replied as his lips curved into a big smile. He wrote something on the form in front of him and nodded at the men sitting beside him " What more do you have to say?" He asked and it was Ava's turn to smile. Ava placed her two hands on her belly and bowed a little with a sweet smile on her face. " I will be glad if you will accept me as your secretary. Like I already said, my only dream is to be a Secretary and if you want my help with some designs, I'm surely the best in that. It's written in my resumes that I have a talent in making designs and this~" She opened her bag and brought out a file. It was a file that contained
Ava was glad when she heard Fred's words. She was anxious about what the result would be but hearing one of the directors words made her mind relaxed and she flashed a pretty smile~ " Thank you very much." She said and bowed a little. Amy nodded her head and slapped Fred's back " Thanks guy!" She mumbled and they both chuckled. She turned to look at Ava and winked. " Miss Secretary, shall we leave now?" She asked playfully and Ava nodded with her hands on her cheeks. " Bye Fred. I have a meeting to attend in an hour time." Amy told Fred and they shared one last hug before she grabbed Ava's hand and they both walked toward her car. " Hope you are alright? I saw your holding your chest when I parked in front of you then." Amy asked as she opened the car for Ava to enter. " Let's enter and talk." Ava replied. She stepped into the car and sat down while Amy walked to the other side and sat down too. " Being in front of those big wings made me a bit uncomfortable and th
" Should we cut the cake first?" Ava asked and Harvey nodded his head. Ava sang a song after which she and Harvey cut the cake but they weren't able to eat much due to their already full stomach and Harvey being someone that never eat too much, he was even worst off than Ava by the time they stood up after eating all they could. " I'm filled already. I want to rest my head. " Harvey mumbled and turned to leave but a low music suddenly entered his ears and he frowned. " What's with that romance song? Who's playing that?" Ava had heard the music too and she was just as confused as Harvey. She was about to talk when she saw the head Maid whispering something to her and pointing at the package at the center of the table. " Honestly, I had forgotten about the gift. She must have realized." She mumbled and slapped her forehead gently. " Let's open the package before leaving." She reminded Harvey, who immediately made an O sound before taking his seat agai
" What? One month Anniversary?" Harvey was the first to ask as he walked over and stood beside Ava. He looked at the table and he was just as surprised as Ava when he saw the decorations on the table. " Yes. We heard from the guys outside that boss went out with you to celebrate your one month anniversary, so we prepared too because we wanted to celebrate it with you. " The head maid replied with a big smile on her face. Harvey smiled. He walked closer to Ava and took her hand. " Let's go see the full package." " Okay. " Ava replied, still in shock. She seemed to still be unable to comprehend everything yet. Seeing everything like that felt like a continuation of her long sweet dream. They moved closer to the table while the Maids all walked aside to give them some space. On the table were Harvey's and Ava's favorite meals and their favorite drinks. She turned her head to look at the maids and a smile beamed on her pretty face. " I never expected this much
" Huh! Is it that late? We've stayed here for so long? I could never have imagined!" Ava exclaimed as she too checked her time and she covered her mouth with shock written on her face. Harvey looked at her and made a questioning face. " Why do you look so scared? Is there something wrong? You are acting as if there was something you were supposed to do but didn't do? What's wrong?" He was so confused to see her so scared. His case was understandable because he had prepared a lot and couldn't do any of the things he had planned but what of Ava? Why did she looked so taken aback and scared? Ava lowered her head, dejected. " I think this is the end. My husband will be so angry with me today. He told me to call him immediately I get home but I've been sleeping since evening. I don't even know where I will meet myself when I wake up now, I was by the road searching for a cab... that's the only thing I remember. Did I board a cab? Did I get home already? Did I call him? I r
" So, all these are British Traditional foods? Wow! I've never seen these before! Wow! I have to take pictures!" Ava was excited. She never expected to see British Traditional food in her life not even when she started her life as a poor lady. She brought out her phone, put on the camera and started taking pictures of the different meals on the table right in front of her. All the meals looked appetizing to her and it was a hassle for her to control herself from dipping her nails in them to taste them. " They are so pretty!" She cheered as she continued taking the pictures. " Prettier than I am?" Harvey joked but Ava unconsciously shook her head which caused Harvey to chuckle. The picture taking went on for a while longer before she finally dropped her phone and clapped her hands. " Now, you can go on with the explanation you wanted to make about the meals. I really can't wait to taste some of them!" She said with excitement beaming in her voice. " My wife
Harvey and Ava continued talking and teasing each other while laughing excitedly as they waited for the restaurant attendants to bring their meals. " It's really nice to be rich. You can do anything if you are rich." Ava teased. Harvey shook his head incessantly " That's not the case. Before, I do think that way too and I thought my life was perfect because my parents were super rich but then... when I started seeing other kids my age, what they do and how happy they were, that was when I realized my life wasn't as perfect as I thought. I believed happiness was all about money. If you have money, you will be happy but it was a total lie to justify the cruel acts of my busy parents. When I was young, I only see my parents face twice a year. Whenever they are free, only twice a year. I spent my birthdays, Christmas, new year with our maids, chauffers and the body guards that were appointed to protect me. They would send me money every week and at that age, I already had
" What?" Harvey was taken aback when he heard her words and he looked at her with a raised brow. The look in her eyes from the beginning had made him realize that she was taking the moment as if it might be her last chance and everything he said and did felt like a dream to her and it made him wonder how cold he had been to her. He smiled. " Harvey is real life is boring, right?" He asked and Ava nodded. " Very boring. He's always frowning too. He never smiled at me before, all he does is mock me, point out my mistake and then act as if I don't exist. Can you even imagine that today was the first time he called me since we got married? He never called my line before but... well... he is changing since yesterday night. " She replied and blushed. " So? Will you like to stay in this dream with me forever?" Harvey pulled her closer to himself and grabbed her waist, putting his nose on her neck. " Will you stay here with me forever and let me pamper you all you want?" His voice
The two left the Secret room and headed toward Mr. Olive's office. The two looked funny to whoever saw them because it was like they changed roles. Ava walking at the front with only her bag in her arms while Mr. Olive followed behind her with numerous files in his hand. " People will talk about this. You should have let me carry it. " Ava complained the moment they got into Mr. Olive's office. She wasn't okay with the eyes of the people around them. She was certain many of them would try to find out what was really going on between Mr. Olive and her. Mr. Olive walked over to his table and dropped the files. He let out a deep breathe and stretched his body. " This is so heavy that you won't be able to even lift it. Any of them that has eyes and senses would know that these files isn't something a fragile woman like you can carry and I will be a bad man and boss if I let you carry this when I have a hand myself. " He replied and sat down. He looked stressed and tire
" Hm... We will be waiting. " Mr. Olive replied without even asking her where she was going or what she wanted to be in the middle of such an important meeting. Ava stood up and bowed a little before rushing out of the room. She went to the room where the blueprints were kept and saw that there were some workers who had not joined the meeting and were working there. She walked to the one nearest to the pink blueprint and bowed. " Hello, Sir, Where is the way to the bathroom here?" She asked and the man who was busy with his work raised his head with a frown but his frown seized the moment he saw Ava's face. He smiled gently and bowed a little. " The bathroom is toward that side. You see that locked door over there? Open it and you will see the female bathroom inside. " He explained as polite as he could. " Thank you, sir. You can continue your work." Ava replied and bowed again. The man also bowed back and returned to his work. " I just have to walk beside i
" Good afternoon, sir. " " Hello Sir." " Oh! Mr. Olive?" " Welcome. It's been a while. " The workers all left what they were doing to greet their boss immediately they noticed his presence in the room. Ava stared at all of them and her eyes landed on Mr. Olive who was standing in front of her with his hands on her shoulder. " What... What happened there? Was that... did we transport here?" She questioned with disbelief in her voice. She had read many books where people would transport themselves from one place to another but she had never heard or seen that kind of thing happen in real life and she believed it could not really happen in real life but what just happened to her? She was outside the first door and before she knew it, she was in the secret room. What happened? The only explanation she could think of was that maybe she was transported from outside to inside by some technology she knew nothing about. Mr. Olive covered his mouth and laughed
