39. The Trio

EARLIER

Riccardo was just looking up at her with a smile on his face and pride in his eyes... He is proud of me... She bowed to the crowd as everyone clapped for her and returned to her booth keeping a hand on her wildly beating heart.

I DID IT!! Avery screamed in her heart. 

Avery took the wine glass from the bar and turned around towards the party. Her eyes were searching for just one person who she didn't see after the event. 

"Yo! Ave!" Rina came and hugged Avery. "I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you after your presentation, I had to stay with mom but bro! You killed it! When you were up at the stage you stole the show! I was soooo damn proud of you! All businessmen would be lining up to invest in your business lady!"She said and Avery smiled.

"R- Riccardo what are you-" She tried to say but found no words when he interrupted her in between. He suddenly slid his hand intervining with hers under the table. "One Million Avery. I'll invest a million in your business." He said clearly and loudly making everyone gasp. Avery just stared at him, making sure if he is actually saying the truth or just kidding around but his dark eyes were so straight and serious that Avery could feel her heart beating in her ears with excitement. Was she really going to get a million dollar investment!? "Two million." Said another voice and she looked at her other side, eyes widened. "Lucan?" She whispered and he looked at her with hi

She could hear Riccardo coming behind her screaming her name telling her to stop, but she didn't.. Stop crying!She told herself. She didn't want to cry, not over someone so pathetic. Avery cried enough that day and lost all her tears, now she is not going to cry anymore. Only whenshe couldn't hear him anymore behind her did she stop.

She might be angry with Riccardo but she won the competition and got the investment becauseof her talent, Riccardo may be an ass as a human, but he is a pretty goodbusinessman and would have never invested so much money in my business if he hadn't seen the potential in it.

Suddenly he crashed his lips onto hers holding both her hands with his, restricting all her movements.Avery tried to get away from him but it was no use, he was so much more stronger then her! He held her hands above her head, kissing her so deeply and so lovingly that she was thankful he was holding her waist with the other hand or her legs wouldn't be able to hold herself up.

  EARIER"That was it, I will discuss with my core team and we can start the construction from the very next day. I will send you an email about the timings of our next meeting. for now you are free to go now Mr. Avery."He said getting back to his seat. Avery left his office shocked at how well things have turned out. When she entered his office this morning she was nowhere near this happy and definitely not after what she saw when she entered. Donna was standing at the door of her office when Avery walked out. She was wearing an all red outfit that was certainly not a professional outfit. The skirt was too small, almost barely covering her butt and the red shirt was at least half buttoned down... I mean she nullified the use of buttons. Avery decided to just peacefully walk past her but seems like that's not the case."So you are Avery huh?" She said and Avery turned to her.

Does he know Riccardo's secrets? "What is your relationship with him?" She asked in a very straightforward way and Lucan stopped eating. She could see he was debating the other way around. "It's quite complicated.. and it's an old thing between us, better not dig this." He said. Avery wanted to know more, wanted to press further... but she decided not to.
