Mary came back from the company with Hilary to give Avia feedback, she held the meeting in the study without Mimi who was busy studying how to be a personal assistant.
"Now that you've been introduced as the new CEO of the company, you will enjoy the company's benefits" Avia said working on her laptop
"I want you to look at the files I sent to you, those are the bad ones you have to eliminate from the company. Start with the deputy head of the financing department, his evidence are glaring" Avia added now looking at the two sitting at her front
"I'm yet to meet him ma'am" Hilary replied
"Hold a meeting tomorrow with all head of department and their deputies. Ask them to submit their department report, go through the financial department carefully, the evidence are there" Avia said
"Miss Simpson, what about the remaining shares, is she to put them up for sale?" Mary asked officially
"How many percent is there?" Avia asked back
"Fifty-seven ma'am" Hilary replied
"I'm buying all the shares in Mimi's name but she shouldn't know about it" Avia said making Mary gasp
"It is her company and she needs to have a higher share" Avia clarified Mary's reaction
"Ma'am, why don't you have atleast twenty percent share in the company for smooth running when she becomes the CEO" Hilary suggested
"I have twenty-five percent under my company's name" Avia replied making it clear to Mary and Hilary
"About the bad eggs in the company, they are pretty much to eliminate once" Hilary said checking the list Avia sent to her earlier
"Start with the deputy head of the financing department and you will see how easy it is to eliminate others" Avia replied and Hilary nod
"Any other thing?" Avia asked making sure she has answered all their questions and covered all aspects
"The CEO's office needs little renovation" Hilary said
"The company's interior designer will come there tomorrow" Avia replied
"That's all then" Mary said and Hilary nod
"Do a good job Hilary, I trust you and that's why you are in that position" Avia said
"Thank you Miss Simpson, I promise not to let you down" Hilary said smiling and Avia dismissed them

After dismissing the meeting, Avia called Michael who her hands has been itchy to call ever since she heard he gave Mimi the job of a personal assistant.
"You miss me?" Michael said from the other end
"No crap! Which position did you give Mimi in your company?" Avia asked coldly
"A personal assistant" Michael replied knowing Avia is been serious
"Why Michael?" She asked coldly reminding Michael of his late grandmother
"Chill girl! That's the only vacancy available since I broke up with Nathaniel" Michael replied pretending not to be scared. He of all people knows how Avia can be when she's cold.
"That better be true" Avia said coldly.
"Are you jealous?" Michael asked teasingly
"Jealous of my uncle? Not my fault I'm cold, you end up dating all your personal assistant, engage them and break up with them" Avia replied justifying her coldness
"Not my fault they can't keep a relationship" Michael said defending himself
"What happened with Nathaniel?" Avia asked now curious to know what happened
"She went back to her ex-boyfriend, she was pregnant for him" Michael replied
"Oh that crazy bitch!" Avia cursed angrily
"You were rooting for her" Michael said smiling
"Because she's better than most of your exes" Avia replied and Michael chuckle
"Anyways, I don't think I will fall for your best friend" Michael said
"Even if you do, don't hurt her!" Avia replied and hang up. Avia felt relieved after talking to Michael, she continue working on the laptop in front of her solving company problems.

Michael on the other end wasn't happy Avia doesn't trust him with Mimi but who dare question Avia? Not even him. He picked up his phone to call someone.
"Hi Nathaniel" He said after the contact he called respond
"Yes Michael?" Nathaniel responded
"Can we meet?" He asked politely waiting to be turned down
"Yes we can, I've been looking for ways to give you my wedding invitation" Nathaniel replied giving him the shock of his life. He called her hoping they can sort things out since he likes her so much and Avia was rooting for their relationship.
"Oh that's great. You can deliver it to the Simpson's mansion" Michael said not letting her know he was affected by the news.
"Will Avia love to come too? Because it is strictly by invitation" Nathaniel replied
"Yes she will and please make the invitation card four" Michael said
"Why four?" Nathaniel asked curiously
"I will coming with my girl friend and Ms Hart will come with Avia" Michael replied
"You moved on already?" Nathaniel asked with hurt in her voice. She was hoping he would still be stuck on her
"Someone is getting married" Michael replied knowing she's hurt and also grateful he did not meet up with her before finding out she's getting married.
"The wedding is taking place in Japan" Nathaniel said hoping he will reject coming since she doesn't want to see his new girlfriend.
"That makes it so convenient. The family were planning on coming on a vacation in Japan" Michael replied knowing what she's trying to do.
"See you then" Nathaniel said and hang up angrily.
"This gender are so unpredictable. She's getting married but doesn't want me to move on" Michael said to himself. He thought of what he had just done, calling Mimi is girl friend and also lying about the family going on a vacation. He felt bad for lying but it was necessary at the time, making Mimi his girlfriend is not the issue but getting Avia to Japan on a vacation is where the problem lies. He thinks for a while before calling someone on his phone.
"Send Miss Cruz contact" Michael said and end the call. He received a message few seconds later and he dialed the number sent to him.
"This is Michael, we have a vacation to plan" Michael said and end the call not wanting to hear her voice.
