Ava's eyes narrowed, and she leaned across the table towards Alexander. "I don't understand why you would choose a poor girl over me. I'm a multi-trillionaire, Alex. I could give you everything you ever wanted."Alexander felt a surge of anger rising up within him. He couldn't believe that Ava was reducing everything to money and status. "Ava, I'm a Multi-trillionaire myself, and besides that's not what this is about. I love Kate for who she is, not because of what she can give me. And I value you as a friend, not because of your wealth or status."Ava looked away, her expression softening slightly. "I'm sorry, Alex," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I just...I don't know. I guess I wanted you to see me in a different way."Alexander reached across the table and took her hand again, this time sensing a hint of vulnerability and sadness in her touch. "I see you, Ava. And I value you as a friend. That's never going to change."Ava's frustration boiled over, and she couldn't

Olivia nodded, feeling relieved. "Okay, I'm glad to hear that". Olivia said.Caleb arrived at the Company and headed to his best friend Alexander's office. As he approached the door, he noticed Steven, the secretary, who informed him that Alexander was busy with Olivia.Caleb's heart skipped a beat when he heard the name Olivia, his crush. He took a deep breath and straightened his clothes before knocking on the door. It was unusual for Caleb to knock before entering his best friend's office, but he wanted to make a good impression in front of Olivia.Alexander and Olivia were in the middle of a conversation when they heard the knock. Alexander looked up and called out, "Come in!"Caleb opened the door and walked in, trying to exude confidence. Alexander was surprised to see Caleb knock before entering, and Olivia's eyes widened as she took in Caleb's appearance. Caleb cleared his throat and greeted them both, "Hey guys".Olivia greeted Caleb with a friendly smile and said, "Hi Caleb,

Ava shook her head, her voice trembling with emotion. "I can't, Dad. Please, you have to help me. You're his biggest investor. You can threaten him to be with me. Tell him that you'll withdraw your investment from his company if he doesn't date me."George's eyes widened in shock. "Ava, that's not how things work. You can't use my investment as a means to threaten someone. It's unethical and wrong."George's shock turned to disappointment as Ava continued to push for him to use his investment as leverage. "Ava, I already told you that it's not ethical or right to threaten someone like that. And besides, Alexander is a billionaire. Withdrawing our investment wouldn't affect him that much. It would only hurt us because we're receiving good profits from our investment in Sterling Corporation," George explained.Ava's frustration boiled over once again, and she began throwing things around the room. "I can't believe you're not even willing to help me, Dad! You're supposed to be on my side

Mrs. Morrone's face filled with concern. "Oh no, is he okay?" she asked, standing up from the couch."I don't know yet, but I need to go down to the school right away," Kate replied, her mind racing with different scenarios.Nancy stood up as well, ready to offer her support. "Do you want us to come with you?" she asked, her voice calm and reassuring.Kate nodded gratefully. "No thanks, Olivia will come with me Please stay with Mom".Mrs. Morrone gave them all a tight hug. "Go quickly, and let me know how it goes," she said, her voice filled with worry.Kate rushed out the door, with Olivia following closely behind. As they got into the car, Kate's mind was racing with different thoughts and scenarios. She didn't know what to expect when they get to the school, but she knew that she had to be there for her son.Olivia drove as fast as she could to Averill Park School District, and in no time, they arrived at the school. They quickly made their way to the principal's office, where they

Olivia hurried home, eager to get ready for her date with Caleb. As she walked into her bedroom, she couldn't help but feel excited and nervous at the same time. "I hope I look good enough for him," she thought to herself.She quickly changed into her gorgeous dress, admiring herself in the mirror. "You got this, Olivia," she said, giving herself a confident smile.Next, Olivia styled her hair into loose waves and applied light, natural-looking makeup. Finally, she slipped on her favorite pair of heels and added a few accessories to complete her look.As she made her way to the car, Olivia checked her appearance in the mirror one last time. "Okay, I think I'm ready," she said to herself with a deep breath.As she drove to the restaurant, Olivia couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement in her stomach.
