"Mr. Lee, what a pleasure to see you." Ran commented as he stood, showing off his expensive suit and watch. Avery turned to the stranger, Lee as in the business partner of GigaPhones? Is that why she saw him at the building the other day? Now that Avery started to pay attention, this stranger had a well-built body. His hair looked like it was very soft and well-taken care of. What can she expect from a rich guy? He had beautiful white skin, like those commercial models on TV. Avery hated to admit it but she was interested in this man. The only problem was that he was not qualified to be her target. He was young and he didn't seem to be that wealthy yet. "Hello. Sorry to interrupt your dinner but she doesn't look comfortable."Ran looked at Avery who frowned. She needed to hide the fact that she was scared even if her hand was already trembling. Carson, the stranger beside her, noticed this. "I don't think she is uncomfortable. Tell the man the truth, Avery." Carson looked at
When Avery opened the door to Jane's apartment, Jane was already on the couch with her favorite mug. She knew that when Avery saw her this way, she was demanding details about the date. Avery chuckled upon seeing her friend."So?"Avery sat across her friend, "What do you mean?"Jane watched as her friend removed her heels and relaxed on the couch. "As far as I can remember, Ran doesn't have a Ferrari and he doesn't drive.""I'm not going to meet that crazy pervert ever again." Jane raised her eyebrow, "So… the Ferrari...."Avery rolled her eyes. If Jane knew that she was not with an old rich guy, she would tease her to death. She stood up, "I'm tired, babe. I'll talk to you tomorrow." Jane immediately jumped in front of her friend, surprising Avery. "Who is he?? Why aren't you telling me?"Avery smiled and held her friend's shoulders. "It's nobody. You need to chill. I need to rest and find another target tomorrow." What most people didn't know was that Avery chooses her targe
He looked at her with curiosity, an expression he didn't have last night. Avery gulped, maybe he finally found out her plan or that some women did the same thing as her. She bit her lip, an act she did whenever she is about to lose her client. The silence between them was eating her alive. She knew she can't use her body like before. She looked at him directly in the eyes. He looked handsome today considering that he was wearing an expensive suit. His hair was fixed perfectly so he might have an important meeting to attend to. "Well, sorry, I'm busy today." Avery waited for the follow-up. Something like, maybe we can try next time. But his reply was short and direct to the point. It was a simple response to I am not interested. She smiled. This was the second time he rejected her. She wanted to leave but she knew she can't. She was doing this for Jane and also for the thrill. It was not every day that Avery can meet a man who wasn't affected by her charms. Just then, the waitres
Avery smiled as she folded Jane's clothes. Her friend really needed to change her wardrobe. All of her clothes were short and slutty. If she was planning to date a decent guy, she needed decent clothes. "We should probably go to the mall. Your clothes are so…"She was cut off when Jane showed her the new look. "Does this make me look smart?" Avery smiled and nodded, "You look decent, babe. I think you should start wearing these kinds of clothes." Jane sighed and sat on the bed. "I don't know, Ave. Good guys aren't really my thing. They say smart things that I don't understand. They make me feel like I'm stupid." Avery turned to her friend who looked sad, "No, silly. You just feel like that because you know he is smart. You told me to be myself with Carson, right? Why don't you do that? Talk about the things that interest you. You are a wonderful woman, Jane. You are smart and you are amazing. Don't settle for less." Avery couldn't change her bestfriend's outlook in life. She
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
