Carson was surprised to see Avery in front of him. He turned to his father who was beside her. "Carson, this is your new assistant. We talked a bit while waiting for you and she mentioned that you helped her a few days ago." Carson nodded while Avery smiled. "I'm looking forward to working with you." Mr. Lee left them and head to his office. Carson then led the way. "So what happened to the orphanage?"She lightly smiled as she followed him. "I can't support them if I don't have enough funds on my own. I still plan to help the kids and I will use my salary here to do that." He turned to her. Avery can't tell if he was amazed or creeped out to see her. "Hey! Don't misunderstand. I didn't know you're working here. Someone told me to try this job. He was from another company." He frowned. The only people who knew this vacant position was his dad and uncle Mark. "You know uncle Mark?"Avery's eyes widen. She turned around to check if someone was nearby. She can't be complacent th
She did not wait for him to respond and she went back to his office. She started working when he stopped in front of her. "What do you want?"She smiled and placed her hand on her chin, cunning but tempting. Carson stared at her thoughtfully. Today she seemed to be different from what she was before. The last time he saw her, her vibes were cheerful, natural and full of self-confidence like she was on top of the world. But today, she seemed to be pretending to be someone else.He's getting curious about her. "Let's say I want us to have a dinner date." Carson tilted his head, "A date?" She nodded. Her smile never left her face, she was sure that she was a step ahead of him. "Tonight. After work."He bit his lip, thinking if this could harm anybody. "Unless you want her to run after you again. I can catch up to her now." She was about to stand up when he grabbed her wrist. She turned to him in surprise. Every time he did this, it feels as if time slows down. "As you wish.
Avery smiled and kissed him. The kiss was slow but passionate. Carson might be drunk but he felt something else when they kissed. His hand traveled to her back while one of her hands were already at the back of his neck.He pulled her closer and her grip tightened. He could feel his body get excited and anticipate more but he also knew he needed to stop. When he moved away, he saw tears falling from her cheeks. He paused and wiped those tears. "What's the matter?"She didn't respond and looked away. What she didn't understand was why was his reaction so different from the rest of them? He didn't take advantage of her. She was about to say something else when his face fell on her shoulder, he was deep asleep. This was the first time they became this close. She can smell his hair from their distance and it's like strawberry. "Carson?" But he didn't reply. She smiled and watched him sleep for a couple of minutes then called the waiter for help. The following day, Avery came earl
Carson, once again, saw how her facial expression changed from sad to angry. He didn't know why she would look at him like that. He looked around the small house to see if he just missed the photo somewhere. But then he remembered that she never mentioned anything about him either. She took a deep breath. "I don't where he is but I do hope he's dead." He couldn't say anything. He grew up from a household where everyone loved each other deeply. Never did he imagine that he would get mad at his dad to the point he would wish him dead. She turned to him. "I'm done here. I want to go home." He didn't say anything and just followed her. To Carson, Avery was a unique adventure he has yet to explore. She had a lot of scars that rich women don't. Being with her made him feel normal. "Avery"The sound of her heels stopped the moment he called her name. She turned to him. "Let's go somewhere first." He grabbed her wrist and led her to the car. Her movements are heavy. It felt like she wa
Avery immediately turned to Carson who was enjoying his coffee. He had a content smile on his face and even if she didn't want to ruin his peaceful moment, she knew she had to. "Is it okay if I head out first?"His smile immediately disappeared. "Is something wrong?" He placed the cup on the table and his facial expression turned from relaxing to worried. She lightly smiled, trying to keep her composure but she knew that when Jane was in the hospital, it was bad news."My friend is in the hospital. She needs me." In an instant, he called Dolores and placed money on the table. "We're heading off now. We have an emergency" He was about to stand up when she stopped him. Her hand reached his, making him stop all his movements. His brows are together, showing that he was confused. "You don't have to go with me. I can just take the cab." He raised an eyebrow, "Well, I just came here because of you. I still need to go to the office, remember?" Her eyes widen by what he said. His word
Avery smiled, but this was not her usual smile. It was more of a smile one makes when they are about to plan something bad. Jane knew that she's at fault as to why Avery was like that. If she only dated nice guys, Avery won't be reminded of her past. Jane looked down. Her arm was extremely broken and all of her body was full of bruises. Avery held her friend's arm. Her touch was warm and comfortable despite her scary aura. Jane turned to her. "Babe, you need to promise me for real this time that you are never going back to that asshole." Jane saw the hurt and sad look on Avery's eyes and she nodded. "I'm sorry."Avery smiled and patted her friend's head, "Don't be sorry. We all make mistakes." She then stood and got her bag again. "Where are you going?" Her voice turned out to be scared than worried. Avery smiled at her once again as she fixed her bag, "Just out. I'll be back after a few hours." Before Jane could say anything, Avery left the room. Avery's aura was now differe
Avery knew that Carson was not her usual target. She needed to step up her game if she wanted to catch his attention. Making him drunk wouldn't be enough. When she reached the building, she headed to the washroom to fix her outfit. She made her skirt shorter. She pulled her dress down a bit as well to show a bit of her cleavage. If there was one thing she learned, men liked cleavages and legs.She sprayed her favorite perfume and applied make-up. If she was able to seduce him once, she can easily do it again. Plus, he seemed to be worked up with the kiss so it was easier to do her plan. So when she stood from her seat, she made sure that he would turn to her. All of her movements were slow but graceful. When she saw him looking, she smirked. The moment she saw him tremble, she knew her plan was successful. Carson held her wrist so hard because he was trying to control himself. When she placed her finger on his mouth, he wanted to lick it so badly. "Hi, predator. Don't let me
Carson's voice was a bit loud, which surprised Ji and Avery. Ji smirked and got the folder from Carson's hand. "That woman is changing you, boy. It doesn't mean that your dad founded the company, it would easily be yours. We, the board members, have the power to appoint the new CEO. If you treat me like this just because of a whore, you are wasting your future."Carson frowned even more. "If the board member knew what kind of person you are, I doubt they will be trusting you." Ji cleared his throat. This was not the first time the two talked to each other liked this. Ji was a board member ever since the company was founded. He knew Carson's dad since they were in college but he was not really a fan of the guy. He admired Mr. Lee's intelligence and goals but he planned to take over when the time comes. He can't let Carson become the new CEO. He planned to do whatever it takes to put his son in the position, even if it meant using Avery as a threat. He turned to Avery as he walk
