A Lifetime With You Chapter 132
Chapter 132
“I acknowledge that I misunderstood what happened today, but please let me go,” Ava looked down as she said. “My phone.” She was bewildered.
Damien pointed at his phone in her hand and she has just realized that the phone she used was his phone.
She quickly returned his phone. The phone screen lit up suddenly, Ava didn’t mean to peek but she saw the content unintentionally. It was a message from Florence, “I want to see you tonight.” It was obvious that Florence was a woman. It seemed that Damien had an appointment tonight. Ava stuffed his phone into his hand and followed Enrico hurriedly.
Damien glanced at the phone and blocked Florence’s contact.
He was watching them as Enrico opened the car door for Ava and the two of them left together. Ava was currently working in the Administrative Department, it was not surprising that she knew Enrico. But how did they end up so close? He felt uncomfortable when he thought that their relationship was somewhat unusual and they seemed close.
“Sir, I’m sorry. I didn’t dare to stop them since Madam was there,” The housekeeper said from aside.
“Did Enrico enter my study room?”
“Yes, he said that he was looking for a child, but he went straight to your study room.”
Damien started doubting even more.
He went upstairs and entered his study room. However, not much of his things on the desk had been touched, it seemed that there wasn’t enough time for Enrico to do so. He pulled open the desk’s
drawer, and there were a few company’s documents in it. He took them out and locked them in the safe on the side.
The next day, in the Radbury Group. The secretary led Luella into the president’s office.
She was just a grassroots employee, and it was the first time that she entered the president’s office, so she was very nervous. Damien stood in front of the glass window and looked at her. The office was in dead silence after the secretary went out.
Luella didn’t even dare to breathe, not even mention look at the president. Silence hung in the room and she was even more flustered as every second passed. She wanted to bury herself underground as soon as possible.
Finally, Damien opened his mouth, “I heard that you and Ava are friends.” Luella was dazed as she didn’t know why the president would ask about Ava out of the blue. How were the president and Ava related?
She could only nod honestly, “Yes, we joined the company together.” “Does she go to Enrico’s office often?”
“I… I don’t know.” Damien’s eyes turned cold. He was just glancing at her, but Luella felt that she was going to melt. It was as if she was being grabbed on the throat, forcing her to tell the truth.
“…. I’ve seen Miss Nagel enter the Vice President’s office few times. They seem to have known each other for a long time.” She wiped her sweat and thought, “The president can be a policeman that exerted the criminals to make them confess. He is fearful even by just standing in front of them without torturing them.”
There were no emotions seen on Damien’s cold face, then he said lightly. “Go on.” Luella didn’t know what to say. She could only think of some irrelevant details even when she racked her brains. “No one
in our department knows about their relationship, I guess. Sometimes she would go to the Vice President’s office, but most of the time, it is the Vice President who comes to find her, and they often stay in there for about an hour.”
“Is that frequent?”
“It’s not as often, around two to three times a week. I guess… there must be some work to hand over.”
Damien snorted coldly. She didn’t have to say the second half of the sentence, actually. It seemed that she was making up an excuse for Ava, but in fact, Ava was just a clerk, what sort of work could she probably hand over to the Vice President? Damien was still quiet. Afterward, he pointed at the door, indicating that she could leave. Luella then left his office in an instant. When she left the President’s office, she found out that her back was drenched with sweat. She had just answered a few questions, although the president didn’t say anything, she could feel that he wasn’t in good mood, as if he could kill her anytime. Why did the president ask her about those things? Luella walked slowly back to her own desk, and she was even more confused when she thought about it.
At the time, Ava was focused on her work and Luella grabbed her hand before she sat down on her
seat.
“Miss Nagel, guess where I’ve been?”
“Where?”
“I was called to the President’s office!” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“What?”
Ava was stunned that she typed some garbled text on the keyboard. Luella lowered her voice and told her, “The president, he… he’s weird. He asked me about you and the Vice President. Miss Nagel, don’t tell me that you really are having a relationship with Sir Enrico?” Ava was shocked as she didn’t expect that he would ask Luella about their relationship. It seemed that her sudden appearance with Enrico at the Radbury’s family residence had incited some suspicion. If he found out that she was sent by Enrico into the company just to steal the documents, the consequence would be unimaginable. There were too many colleagues in the office, so she quickly pulled Luella into the pantry. She made sure that no one was around and she locked the pantry’s door.
“Miss Nagel, why are you so nervous?” “Don’t talk nonsense! Enrico and … are not in a relationship! What are you talking about?” “I’m not! I am just curious why did the President ask me about your relationship with him…” Ava hurriedly asked, “How did you answer him then?” “Don’t worry, Miss Nagel. I didn’t say anything! Maybe the President knows that you won’t tell me such things, so he didn’t ask me much.” Ava sighed as she felt relieved. Luella’s curiosity was piqued. She hooked onto Ava’s hand and asked in a low voice, “I’m curious. Why will the President ask about a low-ranked employee for no reason? Did he hear anything or is he planning to send you away because he thinks that the both of you aren’t a good match?” Before Ava could even speak, Luella answered herself, “But I’ve heard that the President and the Vice President are not on good terms for a long time. How could he possibly care about who is Sir Enrico dating? Is he taking this opportunity to expel him with the excuse of forbidding workplace romance?” Well, Ava could only admire Luella’s imagination.
Before she could even explain herself, Luella had imagined some explanations for herself.
