"Can I use some of your clothes from the cupboard please?"Avery propelled towards the cupboard and was waiting for his answer. "Yeah but reason?""It's all for our plan.""And what is that?"Avery randomly grabbed some clothes from the cupboard and then started tossing them here and there on the floor casually."Can you at least tell me what are you planning of doing?"She for one minute glanced at him then she took off the shirt that she was wearing. Apollo saw how messy his room was now. And he hated it. He gritted his teeth and asked her, "For God seck, what do you want to do?"To his question, she remained silent. The view looked perfect in her eyes when it was the opposite of him. Nobody ever dared to mess up his room, to avoid him, if it was someone else he would have fired them right away and make them regret for their deeds but he couldn't do that to her. Apollo tried keeping calm and being patient... For the first ever time in so many years. Avery finally inhaled the fres
"Good morning, granny." Pulling the chair behind for Avery, Apollo sat next to her. In the Lindwens House, Jessy lived with her husband. Apollo's parents were now in another country. Because Apollo's grandfather had to go on a business trip last night, he was not on the breakfast table.Jessy looked delighted as she saw the couple who looked too sweet with each other. "Good morning."There were many delicacies on the table, and Avery couldn't wait to taste them. True to say, after she came here yesterday she ate halfheartedly as she had to be more focused on other things.While checking on the foods, she suddenly noticed that the delicacies on the breakfast table were also having some of her favourite dishes.She glared at Jessy with confusion. There was no way she remembered telling her what she liked to eat. And she knew her favourites were not among Apollo's likings. It couldn't be a coincidence!'Does granny also like these dishes?'"Granny, Uhmm..." Jessy as if expected it. Sh
"It's not a good manner to avoid your relatives, you know." Kaden Lincoln, the man who dared to stop the car pronounced. He stood with his head high in front of Apollo.Apollo paused on his way, his hands in his pocket and he had his calm demeanour. Kaden, happy to succeed in stopping him on his way smirked and then walked forward, passing him. He stood before him, and raised his hand towards Apollo, "Today is my big day, wouldn't you like to give me your blessings? Cousin."Kaden Lincoln, namely the second in line to take the lead of the Lincoln family business once had good relationship with Apollo until some years later, things took a turn and since then, Apollo as if was his rival in every single thing. Apollo sent daggers through his eyes, instead of shaking his hand with him he just walked away. 'Avoid' was the one word he wanted to use now. "I am going to get married the day after tomorrow. You probably heard it."Apollo heard him with no intention of doing such. The news o
"Granny, please wait."Jessy let her assistant leave first as Kaden called out for her. The press conference was done, but there were still people around to greet their new CEO so Apollo was busy with all the greetings."Ohh, Kaden dear. What's wrong?""I know you wouldn't make a decision without consideration. But I can't understand why did you give the position to Apollo and not me. Ain't I reliable and capable enough in your eyes?" Kaden looked at Jessy with gloomy eyes. As if a little kid to an adult while asking for his favourite toy that was given to someone else.Jessy knew he would ask her this. She was a businesswoman, after all, being able to read one's eyes was one of the reasons she always could handle any situation without worry. "Are you questioning my choice now? Kid." Jessy sounded deadpan. Kaden for one minute forgot who he was talking to. Though Jessy loved him she hated it when someone questioned her decision.Upon understanding what he just did, Kaden made a puppy
It was past 9 pm, and Avery was helping Jessy in the kitchen. Since she invited Kaden and her fiancee over, Jessy wanted to make some cookies for them and Avery insisted to help her."All done, thank you so much, dear. Without your help, I wouldn't be able to do it alone this soon." Jessy hugged her and smiled at her. "It was fun. I also loved making the cookies with you. Granny." After so long, Avery felt like she had a family. She always missed her grandmother after she died, and staying with Wendy and Liam didn't make it any good but worse for her. They didn't care how she felt.Jessy was starting to like her more now. Since Apollo's mother was quite allergic to cooking, Jessy had no companion. If she wanted to cook, she was all alone but now, she had found Avery."It's already time. They should be here soon. Dear, can you please go and ask Apollo to come down?"Avery smiled then with a little nod she walked upstairs. To her, though she was here for a short time this house didn't
"Who is the chef tonight? The dishes are so delicious. Was it you? Granny." Kaden asked, having one more spoonful of food. His fiancee was sitting next to her, while Apollo and Avery were on their opposite.The dining table felt somewhat more like a battlefield, coldness encompassing everywhere.Jessy answered him with a smile, "It's your sister-in-law. She made the dinner tonight."Kaden had a smirk on his face as he stared at Avery. Since he came here, he had been keeping his eyes on her."Seems like sister-in-law is a great cook. Cousin is so lucky to have her."Avery smiled and continued eating. Her mind was here then it was not, waiting for the time to pass fast.'I was worried for nothing, he probably doesn't remember me. It's been quite long since he saw me in the Lincoln Re...'But suddenly her thoughts got interrupted and she almost choked on her food."It might be that sister-in-law has been a cook for a long time. I feel I have eaten the dishes she made before."Avery grab
The road was crowded, sitting next to Apollo she kept looking at her hand bracelet. Jessy gifted it to her when she was leaving.They both said goodbye to Jessy and were now going to where she was supposed to. Though she didn't know where Apollo was taking her to.For some time she was happy to be away from this city as it would only remind her of Liam and those painful memories but now, she was back here again.As the car stopped, finally she looked up. She stared at the surroundings and then at Apollo, waiting for him to tell her where they were but he remained silent.A man in his early 60's opened the car door for her, she stepped out. In front of her, she could see the high-end building, it was not some mansion like the Lincoln Residence or Lindwens House but it looked rather expensive than those two.There were mini gardens designed beautifully on both sides of the road to the entry, the exterior design from the outside looked somewhat boring in her eyes yet it was giving out a
The Next Day'I don't know when I am going there, I'm super excited but I'm also nervous at the same time...' Ring!Avery was interrupted in her thoughts as her phone started ringing. Not taking a look at the number, she uttered, "Hello?""Mrs Wyatt, it's me, Noah. The driver will be picking you up in ten minutes, please be ready." Noah asserted so from the other side of the call."Ahh, ok."It was last night when she was told that from today, she would be working in the company as the chef.Avery was so enthusiastic, she always heard Wyatt corporation was the biggest company in the country. She wanted to work there but due to not meeting their education requirements she never got a chance.Soon the driver picked her up. Avery wore an oversized blue t-shirt tucked with her black jeans, she put on her army boots and left her hair loose at her backIt was the first time she would be working in such a big company, she didn't have any idea what to wear so she put on what she found to be
