Finally, Serena exhaled a sigh of relief, as there was a 50% of chance to win with the contract in her hand. But she was clear that Amy wouldn't stop her mischief.
Serena was determined to win over Nisse tonight for a better chance of success.
Serena went back to the company with the contract, and Avery was still kept in the dark of what happened in the past few hours.
"Avery." Serena looked at Avery, who was buried in a pile of documents.
She felt sorry for Avery, who was much thinner than before. Now, she knew how busy he had been during their separation.
In fact, their families were wealthy enough to provide for ten generations.
However, both Avery and Serena were resolute to make their own ways.
"Where were you?" Avery was distracted by the arrival of Serena.
"Got a contract for the project at hand. I have a business dinner tonight. Sorry that I can't have dinner with you."
"You already got to work?" Avery had no idea of the intense antagonism between Serena and Avery.
"Of course. I am serious about work." Serena did not tell off Amy.
She didn't like talking of people behind their backs. More than that, there should be friendship between Avery and Amy, though Avery didn't love her.
"Don't push yourself too hard, Serena. If you do mind Amy, I can make her resign by herself." Now, Avery was still ignorant of Amy's mischief.
Serena asked tentatively, "You fire a friend who started up a business with you because I don't like her. Are you really OK with that?"
"I told you before you were irreplaceable in my heart. So, I don't give a da*n about other people at all." Avery kissed her hair gently.
Serena felt warm at heart for what she heard. She felt lucky for finding her true love.
It pleased Serena that Avery was on her side when he was still ignorant of Amy's betrayal of him and slanders to Serena.
Blinded by love, Avery would take Serena's side regardless of right and wrong.
"Avery, you would be a fatuous and self-indulgent ruler in ancient times." Serena chuckled. She had no ambition to be an evil woman, and it was Amy who declared war on her.
Serena didn't like Amy but could tolerate her only if she was content to be a friend of Avery. Serena thought herself generous enough with this.
"I don't care. I don't mind setting fire to the world, only if it pleases you." Avery leaned over to kiss Serena on the lips.
The girl in his arms was like a fascinating flower to him. If she had been a flower, it must be datura, breathtaking and narcotic, and Avery would like to be addicted forever.
Serena closed her eyes, and her eyelashes trembled like wings. She murmured in her heart, "Avery, I will protect our love, and no one can separate us."
The warm sunlight fell on the lovebirds. Both the baby burbling in the cradle and the child soothing the baby with a lullaby had grown up now.
Avery had an appointment at night too. He proposed to pick Serena up after dinner.
