During the board meeting the following day, Avery suggested the idea of joining the Female CEO association, which gathered mixed reactions from the team.Raphael, with his trademark mockery, derided Avery’s suggestion. "How can someone afraid of making decisions lead this company?" he scoffed.Avery, unmoved by his remark, calmly retorted, "I never said I was afraid of making decisions. I'm a leader, not a boss.Raphael's face reddened, his body tensing with anger at Avery's cutting remark. "You're not fit to lead," he hissed through gritted teeth, glaring at her with venomous eyes.But Avery, to the amazement of her staff, remained composed and unflustered. She gave a small smile, and continued, "But I'm doing it perfectly already,"As Avery maintained her confident demeanor, Raphael seethed internally. "We shall soon see what a leader can be reduced to, bastard," he muttered under his breath, venom dripping from every word.With that, he stood up and left the boardroom while the mee

Avery was lost in thought as they walked out of the eatery and boarded an Uber, "I don't know what possessed me to make such a bold claim to Cynthia," Avery snorted with self-deprecating humor. "How am I supposed to come up with the funds for an expensive car by this weekend? It's impossible!"Jeremy sending her worries, placed his hands on hers, with a reassuring smile playing on his face, "I'm sure we can figure out something before then,"Avery took a deep breath, the weight of the situation pressing down on her. "Noah and Steve's money won't be enough to buy an expensive car, and even if it was, it would be foolish to waste that kind of money just to impress people who never fail to find fault with me," she said, rolling her eyes. "The money from Blue Silver Entertainment is vital for the company's revival, and I won't jeopardize that for something as shallow as pride."As Jeremy sat in the backseat of the Uber, his thoughts were consumed with finding a way to solve his wife's ca

The deal day came for the Female CEO association get-together, As Avery boarded her Taxi heading for the Venue, Jeremy could see the sadness in her eyes even though she was trying so hard not to let it show and be optimistic about the future. Jeremy, eager to buy time for the manufacturing company had failed to deliver as promised due to importation delays and tried to dissuade his wife Avery from attending the lavish party. "Babe, you don't need to go," he urged. "We can join them when we're financially stable. We don't need to impress those scumbags." Avery smiled at her husband's concern, unaware of his motives. "I'll be fine, honey," she replied with confidence. "I'm going to the party for the company's sake, not to show off. "Besides," Avery added, her chin held high, "if anyone dares cross my path, I'm strong enough to give them a piece of my mind." Jeremy nodded, appreciating her determination but still feeling uneasy about the situation. "Just be careful, okay? Cynthia a

"This car model isn't even released yet!" one of the onlookers exclaimed, his words ignited whispers and murmurs throughout the hall.Avery's mind was racing as she tried to make sense of everything. The Alaxin A-X9 was a highly exclusive car that had been generating news in the automotive world for months, and yet here it was, sitting in the parking lot, gleaming under the lights. How had Jeremy managed to acquire such a car?Jeremy was already anticipating Avery's question and had prepared himself for it as usual, he turned to her with a smile and whispered, "Blue Silver Entertainment Company added it to the rewards you were getting from them. They had arrived a few minutes after you left the house to deliver it and since you were not around, I had accepted it on your behalf," Jeremy explained."I thought it would be best to drive it down here to shame your enemies," He said in a humorous tone That left Avery's mouth wide in surprise, and at the same time she was so excited. "They o

Avery took a deep breath as she turned to look at Jeremy. She was tired of the unending confrontation from Raphael, Cynthia, and their likes.Avery tried to create some space between herself and Cynthia, her voice tight with tension. "We need to reschedule for Monday," she said, refusing to look at Cynthia. The hotel chef, feeling the awkwardness, tried to persuade Avery. "We've made a lot of food, just like your event planner asked us to. If we cancel now, all that food will go to waste, and someone will have to pay for it.""How could you remember to prepare the food my staff ordered, but forget to reserve the hall for our event?" Avery asked angrily. "We're sorry for the mistake, ma'am. I'm not in charge of booking the hall, and we had no idea this would happen," the hotel chef apologized.Cynthia gave loud mockery laughter, "Just admit you are a poor brat who can't afford luxury sis, and stop stressing the poor man's brain," She sneered.Avery whispered to her husband, "Let's ju
