Ava

My father never spared any expense and this was confirmed yet again once I set foot in the gala's resort.

The event's location is the fucking Empire State building and yes, my father rented all of it since the most important people from all over the world were coming to attend this charity gala in my name.

I looked around me.

A majestic red carpet leaded to the main entrance of the building till the way to the elevator. I reached the main floor of the gala where the decorations were even more elegant and luxurious: ancient vases were used for beautiful and fresh flowers, refined statues in precious marble and gold candelabras which could be the ones used by royal families. I stopped analysing the place when I felt someone offering me a glass of champagne, I smiled politely and grabbed it before noticing the other waiters in elegant clothes welcoming guests by offering them glasses of champagne.

Everything was so perfect... did I deserved it?

What if Im not good for this role?

What if I messed up everything?

What if-

No, you can do it, you're Ava Torres.

All my life I've been working hard and waiting for this precise moment, I won't it fuck up, not now that I'm about to be nominated as CEO of Torres Group while looking nothing but my best.

After inhaling harshly I made my way to where my parents were chatting with some business partners, my father notices me first "Here comes the main character of the evening" he smiles proudly, "Mija eres hermosa" my mother adds, her eyes sparkling. (Honey you're beautiful).

I give a genuine smile to my parents and then I turn my attention to the business men who were looking at my cleavage with a little too much attention. Ugh men.

Man or bear? bear.

"My eyes are here by the way" I spoke and immediately the men looked away mumbling random unlistenable shit among themselves while crimson stained their cheeks.

"Well we- my wife erm... must be looking for me" "Yeah mine too, we will catch up again, Mr. Torres"  and with that they ran off.

"What gotten into them?" my father spoke confused.

"Were they that embarrassed?"

"Ava, what do you mean?" he asked "No, actually I don't care. I have to tell you something important" that got my attention.

"Yeah, what's up?"

"Honey, I'm aware that in this last period you've been really nervous and agitated since you'll take my place but I swear that you'll be a perfect CEO," he put a hand over my shoulder "you'll be just as good as me if not better" he chuckled.

"We believe in you Ava, that's why we're giving you this huge occasion in such a young age. You're not alone, you have us and whatever you have a doubt you can come to us, we want to help you" mother added and tears threatened to drop.

"Thanks, I love you guys" I hugged them tight for some seconds before pulling away.

"And darling? we have a surprise for you this evening" my father added but before I could've said anything back, both my parents were dragged away by some other guests.
