"You think just because you're a bit pretty, you can get close to our boss, Mr. Ford? Someone like him would never be interested in a vase like you," another woman nearby said, glaring at Ava with jealousy.
Ava found the situation both amusing and frustrating. She never imagined she'd be called a vase one day. Although it's not a compliment, she found the term surprisingly pleasant to hear.
Nathan, who received Ava's sudden call, was also startled. Hearing Ava's voice made him even more anxious. "You're at the company?" he asked uncertainly.
"Yes, but I couldn't get in because I didn't have an appointment," Ava replied helplessly.
Nathan's heart skipped a beat. His demeanor changed in front of everyone, looking somewhat flustered. "Alright, I'll have Chris come down to get you... No, I'll come down myself!"
