Knock!"Come in!" The familiar voice came to be heard inside the office room. Avery needed time to clear her mind from the weird thoughts she was having. If not because she was supposed to be here, she would like to avoid coming here. Avery didn't know how many people saw her with Roy and heard their conversation. Her fingers were as if numb, she cooled herself, Avery walked towards the chair. Putting the food tray on the table she stood still. There was no smile on her face, only a lost girl vibe and a little disappointed one.Seeing her facial reaction, Apollo sitting on the settee said, "Take a seat."Avery just did as he ordered her to. "Is everything ok?" He asked her.Without looking at him she nodded her head. He could feel that something was wrong but he couldn't figure out what it could be. 'It's hard to understand what women are feeling.'To cheer her up, he said with a smile, "Have lunch with me." Saying so he held a spoonful of food before her mouth. This time she star
Seeing Avery so worn out, Soha and her other friends quickly ran to her. Avery didn't know what else to do except looking down. All the way she came here, people never stopped staring at her. They were gossiping as if she did something so bad.Soha patted her shoulder and asked her, in a concerned tone. "Ava, are you ok?""Hmm, I'm ok.""Don't worry, it will be fine. The video will be taken down soon. We have already reported this to the hierarchy. So please be ok." Hearing Megan, Avery looked at her confusedly. What was she talking about? She had no idea?She asked Megan, "Wait, what video?""Ow, the video where Roy is proposing to you."Avery looked at them still in a daze. She had no idea what they were talking about."Or do you not know about it?" Hearing Emily she nodded her head in agreement. She was so busy with the things happening to her that she forgot to check what was going on in the world.Soha let out a sigh and showed her the video. Avery broadened her eyes, she saw how
In the mansionTaking off his coat Apollo put it on the sofa then he walked towards the kitchen. Checking on the ground floor, he couldn't see her anywhere near. Strange, he couldn't see Avery anywhere in the mansion.'Is she taking a bath?'Casually he went to her room but even there he couldn't see her."Avery? Where are you?" He called out, a little louder than his usual pitch.No response!"Strange! Where is she?"Apollo left the meeting as soon as he could, his phone was not with him.Only after getting at home could he check it but he was too excited to see her so he didn't check his phone yet.He just ran there to see her. He wanted to explain things to her and say sorry.Taking his phone out as he stared at the screen, he quickly made a call. It kept ringing but none picked up."She called me but I couldn't pick up! Damn it! Why did she call! She is ok, right?"Slowly he started feeling weird, his heart was getting uneasy. He quickly ran to her room and after checking as he co
"Here." Sitting on the couch Avery kept staring at the space. Apollo passed her a bottle of water and asked, "Who were they?"In a daze, she kept staring at her hand and uttered, "Debt collector.""Debt collector?" "Yes." She replied.Avery let out a sigh and added, "They are after me because they want to kill me and then sell... Sell my organs so it can pay off the amount we owe them."Upon hearing her, he clenched his fists. If he was late for even a moment, he couldn't imagine what could have happened to her. He couldn't imagine anyone hurting her. He would just kill them. His heart ached when he saw her in pain, he wished he could take all her pain away and make her happy."They are after my granny. My granny is dead so they want to kill me in order to collect the debt..."Hearing her he patted her shoulder and she rested her head on his shoulder. Running his fingers on her forehead gently he asked her, "Why didn't you tell me about it? I could be of some help.""I did not know
The Next DayAvery found herself sleeping next to him, she remembered every single thing that happened last night. This time she was not regretting what happened.Avery smiled as she saw he was sleeping on his stomach. She put her head on his back, their bare bodies colliding with each other. She loved his touch and the feeling.Avery kissed his shoulder and rested her head against his back."Thank you for last night. I hope things between us will always remain like this." She uttered.Wrapping the cover around her body she went to take a shower. It didn't take much time for her to get ready. Today, she was extra happy.On the breakfast table, she made all the love dishes, everywhere one could see was filled with love. Even on the bread, she put a heart on it.Upon seeing Apollo, she smiled at him. Though he didn't have that smile on his face she could see his eyes filled with love. maybe he was yet not ready to show it to her. She assumed."Good morning." She asserted.He sat on his
A middle-aged woman, looking beautiful in her clothes and ornaments she had on was sitting on the settee. Apollo walking towards the living room saw her. She was her mother, he couldn't remember the last time he saw her but he missed her.Apollo was not so close to his mother. He believed she can here to say something very important to him. After all, they barely talked on the phone if not they never did.Upon seeing him the woman said, "Tell your secretary to leave us alone."Apollo stared at Noah and he quickly excused himself and left.In the whole house, only the two were present.Apollo sat opposite her and said, "Good evening, Mom.""Evening." Her voice came out as stern as his. They were kinda similiar in personality, Apollo looked like his mother more than his father."You wanted to see me? What happened?" The woman crossed her legs and leaning against the sofa she asserted, "If I wouldn't have called you here, you wouldn't come to see me. Isn't that true?"Apollo looked awa
"Boss, are you sure you wanna do this?" Noah asked Apollo.Apollo stared at him as if sending shooting daggers through his eyes. Indeed, he made plan to do this. Though at first, he couldn't think if he really wanted to do this but now, he was sure."Are you questioning me now?""I didn't mean that. It's just... Miss Knight is here. She might see you and misunderstand...""Who cares if she sees me or not." He asserted as he gulped a sip of his wine. Apollo was seated on the couch, drinking when tones of women were coming at him. Noah standing behind him was praying to God that Avery wouldn't see him. Though Apollo intentionally came here after seeing her with Roy.There, Avery was sitting still. Roy told her he was coming back but he didn't come back yet. She let out a sigh and stared at her drinks.The far she knew Roy, she trusted him. Drinking a little wouldn't make her a drunk right? She thought.Avery touched the glass of drink when suddenly Roy appeared there. He grabbed the g
It was the next morning. Avery was unable to recognise the room she was in, it was totally different from her room. She woke up with a whirling sensation. With giddiness in her head, she walked around in search of her purse and phone, she remembered last night she had them."Good morning." Upon seeing Roy, Avery was disoriented mentally and a little disappointed at the same time. She expected someone else in his place.With a cheerless smile, she asserted, "Morning."'So it's his apartment.'Roy looked handsome in the chef uniform he was wearing. Though at work, she never noticed this much about him, she could see the small details about him now such as how caringly he was making breakfast just like when you see love in someone's eyes when they are in love. Roy pushed a bowl towards her and showed her a beaming smile, "Hangover soup for you.""Thank you."Roy headed back to the kitchen giving her an appreciative smile.Avery looked around. She could see many of his photos hanging on
