Ava gets dressed after a long and silent shower. Bear tries his best to cheer her up but nothing he seems to do makes her smile. He chases his tail, he tries to climb her to give her kisses. Ava picks him up and holds him close.
"What does one wear to break up with the guy who owns your office building?" Ava asks walking into her walk-in closet.
She picks out a black suit, that would look cute with a pastel purple skirt she owns. She goes to slip on her skirt and notices one of Seth's ties. It's a dark royal blue one. She walks over to pick it up and she takes a whiff of it and starts crying. Full-on bawling her eyes out. This isn't like her to do this. But she cries for a while as she holds the tie. She walks over to her bed. Ready to pull herself together. Setting the tie-down she gets back up and goes into her bathroom ready to clean herself up from crying. She washed her face and moisturized. Dark circles are starting to show, so she puts a cream on it conceals it, and puts on some waterproof mascara. She then puts on some lip gloss and a little bit of a cream highlighter.
She changes out of the skirt to put on form-fitting black pants.
Ready to break things off and move again because of her ex. Seth is a great guy, he owns the real estate we all call Ava's heart.
Ava calls Uber, because for the life of her no matter how much she tries she can't call a taxi. She could drive but she isn't in the sport for that at the moment.
Walking out of her apartment and down the stairs, she is determined to rip it off like a band-aid. Getting in the Uber with Bear her baby doggy. The Uber driver glances at her for a second and then proceeds to drive out of her driveway.
"Off to the infamous Gaurd Tower, I see." He says glaring at his screen since his sunglasses are on.
"Yeah, I have an office there," She explains, with a coy smile but he doesn't see it because he is too busy focusing on the road.
The drive is short and Ava spends most of her time texting her old assistant. For her next job, she has to track down the daughter and wife of a New York millionaire. She left home with her mother after her father arranged a marriage. (Go check out Tears for him, if you want to read her story)
Ava has to look for a new assistant. Ava will have to advertise it on some websites and background check everyone who wants the job. Becky said she knew some people who would be willing to have this job. It does pay well, with paid vacation, and amazing health care benefits. Ava pays it all and thirty dollars an hour. Which in New York, is a steal. Normally assistants get paid twenty to twenty-five dollars an hour. Maybe less, maybe more if there aren't any health care benefits. Ava's company gets health care through an old client's insurance company. Ava helped him out of a million-dollar divorce prenuptial agreement because Ava found out she was cheating on him for their whole twenty-year marriage with his brother. She was trying to take everything and then received nothing because of her cheating behavior. They made hundreds of millions of dollars together that without her cheating it would have been divided evenly.
The driver pulls up to the building, the money is taken off her card. She leaves him a twenty-dollar tip. Gets out and rushes to her office.
Ready for a new day and for her to start a new life. Without Seth, she feels she doesn't need a man. Especially with the way she has embarrassed herself. Her ex came back, she took care of her old assistant's kid. She put him through a rollercoaster and didn't strap him in tight enough.
She rides the elevator to her office and then takes a deep breath as she calls Seth ready to break it off. But then an email pops up that he is going out of town for a business trip.
She thinks about breaking up with him over text. But that thought leaves her head as soon as it enters. Who does that? That is awful, Ava thinks to herself. She sits in her chair researching her new client.
While Seth is picking out an apartment that is safe for them, Ava distracts herself with work.
