Ava’s POVThe office was silent except for the rhythmic ticking of the clock hung on the wall. The city lights flickered through the large glass windows, casting long shadows across Liam Carter’s pristine desk. I was the last person in the office as usual. And everything again sucks! Stacks of paperwork cluttered my space, but exhaustion didn’t really matter. Not fucking when there were deadlines to meet and a job to hold onto.I reached for the next file, flipping through the pages absentmindedly until a misplaced folder caught my eye. It was tucked under a stack of routine reports, but its label made my breath hitch. Confidential.I was curious to at least glance through it,, and ye,s, for a curious person like me, my fingers moved before I could stop them. Not my fault! The moment I opened it, my heart almost jumped out of my chest, so hard I feared it would give me away. The documents detailed an unethical deal, one that could ruin Liam Carter if it even came to light.I swallowed

Ava’s POVThe burns of whiskey barely dulled the ache in my chest. I sat at the bar, swirling the amber liquid in my glass, my mind replaying the scene over and over again. Daniel, Lila, their tangled limbs, their moans. My stomach twisted.The bar was dimly lit, packed with people trying to waste their sad memories. I think. Well, just like. I downed another shot, letting the warmth settle in my veins.“You okay, sweetheart? A voice slurred beside me. I turned to see a man, his breath reeking of alcohol, his eyes dark with intention.“I’m fine,” I muttered, waving him off.He didn’t move. Instead, he grinned and reached for my wrist. “C’mon now, don’t be like that. Let me buy you another drink.”I yanked my arm back, my eyes burning in rage. Don’t people get the fucking word? I’m fine!“She said she’s fine,” A familiar, sharp voice cut through the noise. I turned and found Liam standing feet away, his gaze the same as always, unreadable. Just great!I had seen him earlier but tried i

Ava's POV I left. I didn't know why but my feet obeyed his command instantly, even before my mom would process.Walking down the hall, my heart was beating more than I could imagine and I could still feel like his lips were on mine. 'Oh Ava, you kissed Liam Carter!'Words kept screaming back at me. Fuck. No! He kissed me, and it wasn't even a real kiss, but I could feel beads of sweat on my forehead.I forced a steady breath as I stepped into the elevator. The doors slid shut, stealing me away from that and whatever the hell had just happened.What was that? Was that a mistake? A drunken slip? Or did he…… I didn't want to think about it. "Liam Carter couldn't possibly start to fall for me!"First, I was out of his hundreds of elite ladies who would be a perfect match for him. My reflection in the metal doors showed the slight flush on my cheeks, my parted lips, and my wide, startling eyes. We kissed, and it was nothing somehow; I hated how he had just also walked back to his office

Ava's POV It Was back at the office, but the words the person had said to me kept on lingering in my head.Just immediately, my email chimed in with a new message.Subject: Dinner. Tonight From: Liam Carter I stared at the message again and again. Dinner?I shouldn't go.I should ignore it.But at the end, my fingers typed the word. Okay*Evening came too fast.I spent too long deciding what to wear. It wasn't a date Ava! It wasn't anything. Probably just dinner. Probably for work. Probably because Liam has something again to warn me about.Still, I found myself wearing a black dress that clung a little too well, heels that added enough height, and makeup that made my eyes sharper and my lips darker.I told myself, it was just to look professional. I told myself it had nothing to do with the way Liam Carter made me feel.Lies.I arrived at the restaurant just as the sun dipped below the city skyline. It was the kind of place with dim lighting and hushed voices, where important me
