Ava buries herself on her FAVORITE couch the moment they step in. She had missed it. Anyway, she noticed Colton wasn't happy and she thought she knew why. She sat up looking at him as he walked past her, going inside. He had every reason to be angry with Ava, she has hidden more than enough things from him.
He walked out handing Ava her notepad and pen with his face not breaking into the slightest of smiles. "Start writing " he says looking down at Ava, then turning his back.
"And I'm sure you know what I'm talking about " he finishes. She looks up from her notepad over to Colton with the slightest of fear shown on her face. She wasn't ready to tell her story yet which will send Colton howling and so mad. She looks at him with that face that says "I don't know what you are talking about "
Colton's face seems to darken as he jerks up from the seat "Ava don't you dare behave like you don't know what I'm talking about "
"For fuck sake, who was that man and why did he kidnap you? I won't ask you how you got mute, you can tell me whenever you dim fit, but I'm asking you for your fucking safety" he growls making Ava shiver. Ava begins writing as she eyes him before returning her gaze to the book...
Can you at least stop shouting? I already have a headache.
She shows it up to him and he stands up pacing up and down before he nods.. "Okay, Avalon Williams, I'm no more yelling, now tell me what I need to know before I loose my temper and I'm sure you don't want me to"
She roll my eyes longer than expected to make him see it. He sees her rolling her eyes and growls. She starts writing...
And what will happen when you loose you temper?
She knows pretty well she was making him loose his temper, he read it and let out an angry growl "you are fucking making me loose my temper, Ava" she smiles and begin writing..
At least stop saying the F word.
She holds it up to him sticking our her tounge for him. "Ava you are testing my patience, and I'm not finding that funny, you know I'm not"
His phone rings and he let's out a frustrated grunt before picking the call. The call wasn't long but annoyed the wits out of him. He puts his phone back into his pocket and glares at Ava.
"This isn't over Ava, I will be back" he says stomping out and banging the door making Ava shiver. Colton hardly gets angry with Ava, anyway in this case, he has every right to be, they have been best friends since like fore ever but Ava's just keeping the most important detail about her life away from him, even when she knew all about him.
Calvin's POV
Today is just gonna be a very bad day at work, I did feel bad for trying to beat the daylight out of my secretary, she really didn't deserve any of that but apologizing wasn't something I want to do, not that I know how to do it anyway.
I adjust my tie and enter into the elevators, I walk out and walk towards my car which Fredrick was already holding the door patiently waiting for me to enter, my escorts standing beside the car behind my Porsche which they will drive with. My phone buzz in my pocket as I enter into the car, I bring it out to see Collins. I grunt before picking...
"Collins.. What's is it?" I ask rolling my eyes, the other line sounded like a place where there was music, slow music.
"Calvin you okay?
Oh really? That is why he called me. I feel so irritated, Collins knows I hate stuffs like this. I am only enduring this nonsense coz he's like a brother to me. But I must admit, he's like the brother I never had. He got me contracts, connections. he is just the best. Sometimes I must admit, Dad and mom's death was an advantage to meet Collins and his mom. Dad was a hot tempered person like me, I totally took that bad side of him. He was so dedicated to his work, he hardly had time for me and mom. I barely finished university when he died and willed everything to me and my mom, making me promise not to let him down. But not too long after, mom died too.
"Collins... If you have something else which should be important to say, I would advice you to say it now or hold your damn peace for the rest of the day " I say getting really irritated. I heard my Collins laugh from the other line. He was already used to my arrogant attitude.
"Oh Cal, you are always your arrogant bitchy self even to your best friend, anyway, I called you to tell you to better apologize to Ava and your secretary... "
The sound of 'apologize' send shivers down my spine, you wouldn't be surprised if I said I have never done that before. I always had this feeling that it made the person apologizing the weaker vessel.
"You were absolutely harsh to them and that was uncalled for. If I were the secretary I would resign " he finishes right before hanging up. I heave a sigh, hate to admits it but he was right. The car comes to a stop infront of my company, I step down, adjusting my tie, what every gentle man does.
"Come pick me up by 2 okay? " Fredrick nods before leaving. I walk in as I get greeting from practically everywhere, which I didn't reply to, just walked past them and into the elevator.
I walk out the elevator to see Cherry my secretary, behind her desk with a slight black eye. I must have slapped her hard. I immediately really felt sorry, I wasn't a woman beater, don't just know what came over me. She looks up, sees me and immediately stands up, facing down.
"Good morning Mr. Bates" she greeted, her voice a little shaky like she was about to cry. I stood looking at her. She is a good girl, didn't wear seductive clothes like Ashley, is very dedicated to work and very hardworking.
"Good Morning Cherry, how are you? " I sounded as much calm as I can be, trying to study her as she is still facing down. She knew I am a bad tempered kind of guy but never have I beaten up anyone in my company.
She nods "very well sir, thank you" I give her a slight smile even when I know she can't see it, and head towards my office. I was still pondering on how to apologize to both women I kinda assaulted, needed to start with the one close to me, Cherry. I settled down, opened my laptop, look through my paper work, I had tons of work to do, now its hard without a PA, talking about PA, Cherry hadn't brought any one yet, I spoke into the intercom, telling her to come. Not less than a minute, she steps in more in fright than any other thing.
"Yes sir" she shuddered, not looking at me.
Calvin, you have to apologize, yes do it. You can do it. Stupid mind battled with me, though I wanted to, I just can't. I looked up to see her black eye and I felt more remorseful, I hate to see a woman having any wound on her face, I had just messed with her face.
"Cherry, I.. I.. " I stuttered, this was really awkward. Okay, Calvin you can do this, you did bad, you have to apologize.
"I apologize for what I did to your face, for yesterday. I didn't mean to. Cherry I'm so sorry okay?" I blurt out so surprised I didn't stutter this time. A slight smile played on her lips as if she has been praying for this, knowing its gonna be hard coming from me.
She just nodded shyly at me, smiling. "you can take the day off and do something about your eye okay?"
She nodded again.
"How about my schedule? And any news about a new PA? " I ask, all seriousness coming back, and I'm so glad for that. She checks her IPad on her palm before looking back at me.
"I sent your schedule thirty minutes ago, and for a PA, we have two applicants, Mr Trey Dalton, age:20,studied computer in the university, and single. Second applicant, Mr. Maxwell Mcdenna, age:21, also studied computer and single too" she finishes as I listened attentively.
"Okay.. Cool. Call them for an interview tomorrow by ten, okay? " she nods and leaves.
Ava's POV
I had wounds from the chain, and it was really aching me.
First, I can't go today so I told Maria to take full control coz she is the only person I trust with the restaurant.
I try to lay down for a bit and rest, Colton's mad at me and went straight to his room once he was back, I have not been fucking able to take my mind off the rich arrogant but strikingly handsome man who saved me. There's something about him that was just appealing, but he's just to arrogant for my liking, I haven't forgotten how we met, how he called me ugly, and he just had a bad temper.
I have to talk to Colton once he comes back from work today. I felt bad for keeping him in the dark all this while, he really didn't deserve it. He has been the best family I have ever had.
I just have to take a nap, I will be at the studio by twelve.
