The next morning, Ava arrived at Ethan's penthouse precisely at 7:45 AM.
"Good! I guess I can do this just perfect..." Ava mumbled under her breath as she remembered Victoria's stern warnings from the previous day.
The security guard recognized her from her last visit and offered a small nod.
"Good morning, Ms. Collins. You may proceed into the house." He told her.
"Thank you." Ava replied softly and made her way inside the building.
In the big living room, she was greeted by the housekeeper, Mr. Thompson who had on a warm smile.
The housekeeper's friendly demeanor was a sharp contrast to the cold atmosphere around the huge penthouse.
"Good morning, Ms!" He beamed at her.
"Mr. Gray is in his office. You can head straight there." He told her.
Ava's shoulders relaxed slightly at that.
