After going to Dollie’s dorm, Ava returned to the Medivien mansion.“Ugh! That spoiled brat bitch!” Ava exclaimed as she threw herself on the couch. “I wonder why she is acting like that when she is always afraid whenever I come to see her before. What happened? What could be the reason why Dollie was too confident now?”“You came to see Dollie at this hour?” Suddenly, Ethan appeared from the kitchen, holding a cup of coffee in his right hand. “You are so threatened by her existence, and maybe that is the reason why she thinks highly of herself now. Don’t let it show.”“I’m not threatened, okay? I’m just annoyed with her overall existence!” Ava sulked, crossing her arms. “Every time I see her, I remember how our family became broken, and yet, Dad was still treating her properly—Like she was not an illegitimate child!”“It is because she is intelligent, and among the three of us, she has the most characteristics that Dad was looking for as his heir, or a right-hand woman he can trust.”

“What? Come where?” Ava asked with her brows furrowed. “I thought we were going to talk about our marriage now?” She looked at the guards, and her body shivered in fear. “What are you planning, Carson?!”“Do you think you are the only one who pulled that pregnancy trick on me, huh?” Carson said, clenching his jaw. “Tons of women have already told me that they are pregnant. Why? Because they wanted me to marry me for my money, and you are not different.”“How rude!” Ava shouted in disbelief. “Did you forget that we are in our mansion now? How dare you talk harshly with me?!”“I will apologize formally when I prove that you are indeed pregnant,” Carson said and extended her hand. “So, if you are telling the truth yesterday, come with me to the OB-GYNE I know, and prove to me that you are pregnant with my child.”‘Shit. Shit!’ Ava wanted to step back and run away, but if she did that, it would be the end of everything for her. ‘If I decline, Carson will be doubtful about my pregnancy. Bu

HOURS LATER, Damian was already finished with his tasks. He was stretching his arms when Violy, one of his closest friends, went in his direction.“You still work efficiently,” Violy said after seeing the empty queue on Damian’s tasks. “That’s great. As expected from someone who got the Outstanding Person of The Year award.”Damian scratched his neck, feeling embarrassed by Violy suddenly opening up about that topic. Violy noticed it, and she chuckled. “Don’t be shy about it. All of the achievements you have now were because of your hard work,” she said, smiling. “Why don’t you take the managerial position that was offered to you before? Even just for part-time?”“It still stands?” Damian asked, his forehead creasing.“Well, the offer never expires in the first place.” Violy shrugged. “As you can see, we are lacking event managers in the company, especially now that we have too many guests to accommodate. If you accept their offer, it could benefit the department, and it is a good ad

“Okay. Thank you, Ma’am Diana.” Damian ended the call and looked at Violy, who also ended the call after him. “What did Sir Kevin say?” “He permitted it,” Violy said, smiling, as she felt like a thorn was pulled out from her lungs. “Bring her to the VIP lounge so you two can talk quietly.” She turned to Ava’s direction and bowed her head. “I’m sorry for what happened earlier, Miss Ava. Everything is settled now.” Ava’s eyes widened, and her jaw fell as she was too stunned to speak. “H-How…” she couldn’t organize her thoughts, especially as she saw Damian approaching him with a pretentious smile on his face. “I’m Damian Giovanni Smith, the event manager at Mid-Century Elegance Events,” Damian introduced herself and extended his right arm. “I don’t have a business card yet because I was just promoted, as you can see, but I have the authorization to cater to VIP clients. I can give you my portfolio if you want so you can see my credentials.” Ava clenched her fists and gritted her teet

AFTER Damian came out of the photoshoot room, he went to the reception area to greet some of the guests and check for any problems. Once the groom arrives, the event program will start after a few minutes. Damian wanted to ensure everything is under control for this day.“Good job on making this place look dreamy, Damian! I wonder if you can make the same theme on my birthday, too?” Lalaine, one of the wealthy guests at the reception area, asked him. “I would want to assign Mid-Century Elegance Events to be my event organizer, too. Under your management, of course.”“Sure,” Damian replied, smiling. “But there will be some modifications as I can’t exactly copy all the details I made here. I’m sure Miss Ava wouldn’t like it, too.”“Yes, of course I won’t ask for the same details. Or maybe we could brainstorm for another theme. I’m already impressed by this, and I’m sure that I will be impressed by your future works,” Lalaine complimented, and the other people who heard her sentence agre
