Zeta looked at Davide suspiciously, there was really nothing to be suspicious of but it was different that he also did not lash out or walk away like he normally did, but instead, he brought his hand forward to take her own.
She gave him her hand and a smile graced his face. Truthfully, the reason why her mood became sullen was because she was feeling a bit bad about the conversation they just had. She saw herself as being a good friend, providing solutions to the problem that Davide presented to her but he refused to take her advice, instead he was trying to understand the man in question, to see past his flaws and Zeta suddenly felt bad. She could also see past his flaws, now it just felt like she was such a bad person, the person who wanted Davide to fire him like she had no heart, just a dark space in her chest.
That was the reason why her mood changed, she felt like a bad influence, a bad person. Meanwhile Davide was different, she also
Davide and Zeta sat together on the terrace, the soft evening breeze brushing against their faces. The atmosphere was calm, yet an unspoken tension lingered in the air as Zeta hesitated to open up about her past. Davide could sense her unease. He drew his chair closer as he said, "That pretty face isn't good for frowning, you'd only get wrinkles." A gentle smile appeared on his lips, and when Zeta's eyes met his, she chuckled. "It was an abusive relationship," Zeta finally admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "He just won't let go, and I've been living in fear of what he might do next." Davide's expression softened as he listened attentively. "I understand," he replied, "I was in a marriage like that once. It's not easy to break free from such toxicity." Zeta looked at him, "Yours with Avery was just something that could have been avoided. But you were in love." she took in a deep breath. "Yes," Davide confirmed, his gaze briefly drifting off into the distance as he reca
My Lee looked between Davide and Derek, he didn't realise that the situation was going to turn out into something like this. He was greatly unfavoured and he couldn't help but blame Davide. Everything was turning out to be very annoying to him and he wished he could just walk away but that would mean disrespecting the CEO. Mr Lee didn't know how to manage the situation, he was a manager and he was suddenly failing at his job. He chuckled, "the thing is, he is a new employee, I cannot make him in charge of this project. He met many other colleagues and those ones have been waiting for their chance, it's really unfair to them". Derek rolled his eyes, he looked at Mr Lee and pointed out the bullshit he was spitting with just a stare, "well, if they think it's unfair, then tell them to hatch up a plan, to bring forth an idea that will help the company the same way this one is doing". Mr Lee chuckled, "sir, unfortunately that's not how it's done.." Derek raised an eyebrow, he had prid
Davide stood confused at what was in front of him. Mr Lee was making very abrupt assumptions about him. He knew Mr Lee obviously hated what had transpired with Derek but he never expected that he would assume that Davide was after some other thing. He had no desires except to be granted the credit for his idea. He looked at the darkness in between Mr Lee's eyes and knew that no matter what he had to say, Mr Lee would think he was lying. He already believed that Davide was after something and there was nothing that Davide would say or do to change that idea that Mr Lee had about him so he had no choice to just accept it. Moreover, he was taken aback by this assumption of Mr Lee and he had no comeback, he had nothing to say so he saw it better to just shut up and look. To watch the older man glare at him like he was the problem when truthfully he had done nothing wrong. "What more do you want boy?!" Mr Lee bellowed. "Do you want to be the manager? Do you want my position? Is that wha
Davide was confused, he brought the phone to his eyes to confirm that he really did hear Mr lee's voice and he wasn't dreaming. He looked at the screen of the phone and it was indeed Mr Lee's name plastered on the phone screen. He looked at the time and saw that it was almost four in the morning. He groaned, Mr Lee was still yelling at him about one thing or the other, Davide couldn't fathom what he was saying, he was sleepy and he was trying hard to fight it. "Fuck, Davide get up from the bed" Mr Lee said. "Why?" He groaned into the phone. "Have you forgotten?" "Forgotten what?" Davide was still tired, it was early in the morning, he wondered where Mr lee got the agility, the strength to actually be yelling at him so early. It seemed that from his voice he was wide awake. But how could someone be wide awake barely four in the morning. "You're the manager now, you have responsibilities," Mr Lee said. "Oh, you mean the job you shoved down my throat?" Davide's sleepiness was slo
Avery was walking towards the entrance of the restaurant. Davide was shocked wondering how come that she was able to find him, it was the same thing with the house, she had found him and made sure to let him know that she knew the place and she was doing the same thing right now. Davide made sure he walked out before she could walk into the restaurant and met her at the door. She looked very angry like Davide was the reason why she was so angry and he trusted that even if it was something else that ruffled her feathers, she would blame him for it. "What are you doing here?" He asked her but he.knew it was a waste of time because she wasn't going to say the truth, she wasn't going to admit to anything. "Why haven't you checked up on me and our child?" She asked. Then Davide realized that he was actually guilty of what she was accusing him of, no matter whether he hated her, she was carrying his child and at the very least, he was supposed to check up on her just to know if their ch
Davide shook his head at her. He couldn't believe that he was talking about something so important but she was busy thinking about trivial things and to be more precise, things that were none of her business. He had had his fill of Avery and he was already tired. It was barely afternoon but he was tired already and this fatigue was only because of Avery. It needed to be an award presented to her to recognize her for her special ability of wearing out a man with only a few words. "What I do is none of your business, Avery. What you should be thinking about is how to go back there and clear out the chaos". He yelled at her. Aveey shook her head, she couldn't believe that she had spent minutes just looking at Davide. This was the man she had seen before, she had seen him her, she had seen him cower away in fear, she had seen him helpless even confessing his love for her. She used to find him so disgusting and terrible to the eys but now it was kike he was a whole different person. She
Avery was shocked, he was looking at Davide like he was unreal. She couldn't believe that he had such an amount of money laying around in his account. She couldn't believe what was going on, it wasn't real to her. She was finding it really hard to understand what was going on. She had so many questions but looking at Davide, he didn't seem like he would entertain her for any other second. So she just waited, watched what was going to happen without saying anything. She wondered where he had gotten the money from, it couldn't obviously be from work because he just started working and his salary surely couldn't be fifty million for a month. Avery was dumbfounded and just staring at the phone in her hand. She then looked around to be sure that she wasn't dreaming, she tried to remember what had happened a few minutes ago and it was all still crystal clear to her, she remembered fighting with Davide, embarrassing him and even meeting the people he had a meeting with. Fucking hell. "A
Davide then removed his tie and followed Zeta out. His head was occupied with what the lawyer might say, he wanted so much to get this divorce done just so he would be free from Avery and her problems. He was occupied with these thoughts so he couldn't notice that the woman beside him was extremely upset. Zeta failed at trying to hide her displeasure about Davide and Cassie, even though she didn't say anything, the rest of her body showed it. She was frowning, she waa walking a few feet away from Davide, she was quiet and huffing. If Davide had glanced towards her, he surely would've noticed that she was angry. Zeta who obviously couldn't read minds was just staring, her eyes darted to Davide severally but he didnt see her. She guessed what he waa thinking about was Cassie, wondering what would've happened if she hadn't interrupted them. She looked at Davide and remembered that Avery was pregnant. She She frowned instantly because thinking of something like that was making her very
