But she also knew that she trusted her father and that he had her best interests at heart."Okay," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm ready to hear what the options are.""Okay Ava, here's the deal," George said. "You have two options. Either you hold a press conference with reporters from everywhere and tell them the truth that you lied about dating Alexander and that he didn't cheat on you. Or, you leave the country and come back in two or three years, hoping that by then the scandal you've created around Alexander will be forgotten.

Either she had to publicly confess to lying about dating Alexander and ruining his reputation, or she had to leave New York and stay away for two to three years until the scandal died down.Ava was ta

As she lay there, she couldn't help but recall the events that had led up to her decision to leave New York."I made the right choice," she said to herself, nodding her head in agreement. "Leaving New York is the best thing for me right now."From his office window, George watched as Ava looked wistfully at the company building before making her way out in her car.
