"No. Rex, I get the root of the whole story now," she smiled wryly. "No! I refused to be brainwashed," Ava yelled, quickly taking off Rex's hand from her own."You've been having an affair with your accountant all this while. You used her and dumped her, and now you think you can play that trick on me too?" she smirked."I thought I was done with the person I considered a cheat when I first met you; unbeknownst, I just fell for the international playboy," she added."No, don't get it twisted, Ava; everything I said is nothing but the truth. I mean, that's how it happened," Rex pleaded."Really? That's how it happened," she remarked, waving her head and biting her lips in regret."Alright, if you claimed she came uninvited, who gave her your home address then?" She asked, staring at Rex, to know what he'd like to say this time."Honestly, that was what baffled me. She hadn't been to my house, nor had I been to hers, but I didn't know how she got my address, it still baffles me," Rex st

After a few minutes, the MC made an introduction about the meeting, the purpose of it, and how beneficial it would be to everyone who would attend.After his speech, the chairman of the occasion took over and started dishing out his speech.Everyone was calm, and the conference hall was also as quiet as if only one person were inside; the only sound that could be heard was that of the speaker.However, Ava was present. She sat and curled her hand on her abdomen, using the other one to support her chin. She was looking worried. She was worried because the person who invited her to the meeting was out of sight, and she couldn't reach out to him because her phone battery was down. She forgot to charge it because she slept during the day, only to wake up by the dying minute of the time Rex told her the meeting would start. She never even knew she could still make it before the meeting began.As she was sitting in the position in which someone with a high sense of reasoning could tell she

As Rex came up to the stage, he was delighted to stand on the podium to give his speech.The chairman of the occasion, Mr. Flinch, walked up to him with a smile on his face."This is Mr. Rex, the CEO of Polite Shopping Mall and Head Director of Alphonsus Group," he said, patting him on the shoulder.Rex was a bit surprised upon hearing that; he wondered how Mr. Flinch knew so many details about him; however, he didn't act as if he was worried; he comported himself."Perhaps he must have inquired about me from Grandpa," he concluded.Mr. Flinch cleared his throat and continued, "As I mentioned earlier, he is new to the business world and has been fast rising. He is open to business, and as long as you cooperate with him, bring him any deal or project, he is one hundred percent sure to deliver," he stated.The businessmen's eyes shone in surprise as they heard Mr. Flinch's words. This was because Mr. Flinch is a respected man in society and has won the hearts of many for being genuine; h

Ava sighed, "You don't need to worry; I won't do that, and besides, they won't do you anything as long as it is not intentional," she affirmed."Thank you so much, ma," the maid replied."You're welcome," Ava responded, smiling at her. "Anyways, may I know your name?" she asked."Oh, of course, ma, I am Sarah Smith," she answered with an honest look."Alright, welcome, Sarah. I hope you're enjoying your stay in this place," Ava asked."Of course, madam, they're amazing. I earn pretty well here as if I'm a government employee," she replied boldly."Of course, I know you will. They're really good," Ava responded. "Well, let's process," she added."Proceed on what, madam?" Sarah asked, trying to know what Ava really came for."In making the breakfast, of course," Ava replied calmly."No, madam, please; it's not okay for you to do that as long as I'm present in this place," she rebuked.Ava chuckled again. "Do you even know why I am here?" she questioned."I'm sorry, ma, but if it's about

At the company, Rex was in his office going through some documents when his messenger came in."Sir, you have a visitor. Should I let her in to meet you?" she questioned.Rex exhaled and raised his gaze toward the messenger, relaxing back in his chair and clutching his legs together."Who did she say she is, and what did she say she came for? Do you know her?" he inquired."She is the former accountant, sir; she said she's here to discuss some personal matters with you," the messenger responded.Rex's heart sank in his stomach as he heard this, and he sighed heavily. Has this lady come here to embarrass him again? But what Rex was worried about now was that she was going to embarrass him in front of his subordinates."Sir, is everything right?" The messenger asked. "Anything the matter?" he added, as he realized the sudden change in Rex's face at the mention of "former accountant.""Oh, yeah, I was contemplating something," Rex responded. "Anyway, let her in," he declared.At first, h
