Ava resumed her new job the next day..., She got a office next to Ethan's Office, the only demarcation between them was the glass wall and the fact that Ava has to see his face every moment got her nervous. Ava relaxed on her comfortable seat as she began going through the documents
BHmmm....his former PA really did I great job in setting these documents I wonder why he left..., She wispered to herself. Just as she was about to go to the next stage of her work for the day , an office call came in and without hesitating , she answered the call.....it was a call from her domineering boss.
Good day sir...
I need you in my office now
Okay s....
He already hung up...
She directed her gaze to the glass wall just so she could see his face...
Grumpy man...., She muttered to herself.
Without hesitating further, she stood up as she headed to Mr Ethan's office.
..................
Good day sir...
Where are the documents?
Most of the documents are ready it seems your former PA already did most of the work
So you're haven't completed the work?...how can you be so relaxed because someone else has done some of the work?
Excuse me sir, I just resumed today. I need time to go through all the documents before I can go further.
What do you mean, you work for me you don't do things at your own comfort here , you do things according to my order
Excuse me Mr Ethan Dylan...am not a machine that can assess anything at once...I need time to go through those documents.
Excuse me?...what did you just call me?
Mr Ethan Dylan
HOW DARE YOU??
There's really no need to get yourself worked up over petty things , I'll bring the documents to you once am done.
What audacity.. I need those documents in less than 30 minutes..
Unfortunately sir, that can not be possible.... it'll take up to an hour or two to get those documents ready for you...
Who the hell do you think you are to tell me what to do?
Your PA and I think you have every right to listen to me as well since I am your personal assistant.
Ethan's rage could be felt all around the room if Ava were to say one more word, he's definitely going to burst out his anger....
Excuse me sir, you should be expecting your documents in an hour or two.
She walked out of his office as she headed to her office.
..........
Ethan stood beside the gigantic window in his office...he still couldn't comprehend what just happened....how an ordinary girl like her could dare confront him...he dialled a number...
Ring
Rin........
Hello I need you to get me all the information about Ava Dymond....I need to know everything about her and I need the result tomorrow.Ava rounded up with the documents, she stood up and was about heading to Ethan's office when she got an office call...it was from the secretary.
Good day Miss Ava
Good day, any problem?
Ma'am, I called to ask if Mr Dylan is busy at the moment.
Naaaah....I don't think he's busy right now, what's wrong?
Well ma'am , his mom, Mrs Dylan is here to see him...
Oh ok, I'll inform him now
Thanks ma'am.
She hung up.
She carried all the documents from her table as she headed to Mr Dylan's office.
..............
These are all the documents sir
Drop them and leave..
She dropped the documents on his table and stood there. ....
Well...., Sir
What the hell do you need now?...
Your mom
What?...you need my mom?
That's not what I meant sir, I meant to say that your mom is here to see you.
Hmmm....am really not in the mood to see anyone now...
What do you mean?... Sorry sir, I meant , she's your mom and she has everyright to see you whenever she wants.
Don't you dare tell me what to do
I will and you'll just have to see her because she's your mom...
With frustration all over him...he stood up and went over to her. Every step he took towards her was deadly. She moved backward with every step he took forward till she could feel the wall behind her.
She felt so little in front of him , he stood so close to her placing his hands on the wall leaving no chance for her to escape.
Ava could inhale his nice scent and for the first time, she got to see a better view of him....his dark hair which left a few strands on his face making him look more dashing, his dark brown eyes, his pointed nose , his thin pink lips which any woman would dream of having to herself, his chin and then his collar bone....gosh dis man was just too handsome . Ava had to snap out of her imaginary world when she heard his daring voice.
HOW DARE YOU?...
In a mist to free herself , she placed her hand on his chest.
............
For some reason , Ethan's felt calm with her hand oh his chest , he looked into her eyes for a moment but diverted his gaze the next instant... her eyes were too beautiful to look into...
I'm sorry sir, can I go now?
Just as he was about to speak , the door suddenly flung open .
It was Ethan's mom and she had a shock expression on her face.
Ethan instantly freed Ava.
Mom..., Why are you here?
Good day ma'am , Ava greeted leaving the office immediately.
Mrs Dylan watched the girl leave before she finally had her seat.
And who is that beautiful girl?
She's just my PA
Just your PA?...Wow, she's so beautiful
We're you expecting something more mom, she's just my PA
Hmmm...., I wish
You wish??....what exactly are you wishing for mom?
Forget that , that's not why am here .
What brings you here mom?...
The family is requesting that you bring a wife home as soon as possible.
Come on mom, aren't we over that yet?
Your grandfather has made this request..he asks that you bring your wife along at his birthday which is coming up next month.
There's no way that can be possible
You know your grandfather.
But mom...
You'll have to do it...that man isn't in for anymore excuses , you'll have to do something as soon as possible if not.....you know the repercussions.
Damn it!!
............
Ethan's Villa
Ehan stood in the balcony of his room as everything that happened that day reflects in his memory....
How do I get myself out of this situation now... grandfather isn't a man that jokes with his words....as it is , he is the only man I fear and I know he can go to any length to get what he wants. How exactly do I get a wife for myself within a short period of one month?.... I'll just have to take a rapid step.

7:36am
Dylans company
Ava's Office
Ethan walked into Ava's office without knocking....but she couldn't be seen in her office..
What does this girl think of herself, why isn't she here yet...he brought bout his phone to call her but he was distracted from the sobs he heard...
He traced where the sobs were coming from and finally found himself in front of the bathroom's door...
Oh she's here already but why is she crying ?...He was about to knock on the door but just then he heard her voice from the bathroom...
She was on a call with her mom and Ethan was forced to esestrop even though he hated it.
Ava: (sobbing)....what do we do now mom, I don't want to loose dad...he has to undergo surgery but where do we get such huge amount of money from?....I have no one to run to right now....
Ethan could clearly hear her sobs and he could tell, she was really in a bad state because of her dad's state... , He felt a little bad for her...he returned to his office and sat down for a while to think but suddenly a broad devilish smile appeared on his face.
.............
Ethan heard a knock on his door.
Come in
Ava walked in...she was really trying so hard to hide her swollen eyes but Ethan already knew what was going on.
You sent for me sir
Yes, have your seat.
She sat down but made sure she avoided direct contact with him.
He cleared his throat As he stood up walking up to window side. He stood there turning his back at her.
I know what you're going through Miss Ava Dymond and I want to help you.
How do you mean sir??
I know about your dad's health issue and I know he needs to undergo a quick surgery .
How do you know about it sir...
That doesn't matter , are you in for my help?.. yes or No
But sir....

Ok sir, I'll appreciate it if you could be of help to us...
