A Lifetime With You Chapter 123
Chapter 123
As the elevator door was about to close, Damien suddenly reached out to press the door button and asked her, “Are you coming in?” Ava quickly shook her head and returned to the crowd, which was waiting for the other elevators. As the elevator door closed slowly, Dempsey asked in a low voice, “Sir, Madam was…”
“You don’t have to treat her any different, don’t even mention the word ‘Madam’.”
“Yes, Sir.” Damien’s face was expressionless, but Dempsey had figured out his thoughts. There was no need to force her since she couldn’t remember anything. Everything could start over at a slow pace.
It was rather smooth on the first day that Ava worked in the Administrative Office. Luella, the lady she met during the interview had been employed in the same department as her, and both of them were happy. Luella’s personality was lively and cheerful, so she had familiarized herself with different departments in the company within half a day. She quickly came over to Ava to tell her the information she had gathered.
“Radbury Group is a family business, and the president is the eldest son of the Radbury family. While the second son, Enrico Radbury, is appointed as the vice president not long ago. The previous head of the Administrative Department is transferred to a foreign branch, so direct supervision of the vice president. Although the president and vice-president are biological brothers, I’ve heard that they are on bad terms. Thus, we have to choose our sides carefully.” “Choose our sides?”
Ava only wanted to work peacefully and earn her salary, so she didn’t want to involve in the office politics at all. Luella said, “When two brothers go head on with each other, it would be bad if we don’t choose sides. I’ve inquired about it. Most of the employees basically support the president. After all, the vice president had just entered the company. Although his position is high, he has no foundation, and he likes to dilly dally. He’s not as wise as the president.” “You seem to admire Damien a lot.”
“Of course, he is a genius in business, and his legend was written in the textbook of our university!”
Ava knew nothing about Damien’s story, and she was not interested in it.
However, Luella gave her a lecture for an entire hour during lunch break, hence she knew pretty much all about him now. In the beginning, the Radbury Group was founded by his father, Daryl Radbury. However, when Daryl ran the company, the Radbury Group was nothing more than an enterprise that could barely be considered as the top in City A. 2 Until Damien graduated from university and he took over the business, he made their company listed, and expanded to the whole southeast of Gurana District. He then penetrated the Asia market
and squeezed into the top ten European rich man’s list. Recently, the Radbury family had acquired the famous Newton Enterprise, and no one dared to take advantage of it.
Ava lowered her head and felt somewhat agitated. She couldn’t believe that such a prominent man was once her husband.
She still could not believe it, even at this point.
In the afternoon, all the new employees of the Administrative Office were called to the vice president’s office to greet him.
Enrico leisurely sat on the swivel chair and greeted them casually. He pointed at Ava and said, “You stay here, while the rest of you can continue your work.”
Ava was nervous when she was being called out in front of the other employees.
After everyone left, Enrico closed the door immediately and congratulated her with a smile, “Congratulations on becoming my subordinate.” “Why did you close the door? The others will find out that we know each other,” Ava said quickly.
She didn’t want to make herself stood out in the company.
“What are you afraid of? Are you worried that others might think I’m harassing you here?” “Seriously, what’s the matter?” Enrico was grinning cheekily, “In fact, I was afraid that you wouldn’t come when you find out about the relationship between you and Damien. Fortunately, you came.” “Tell me the truth, despite knowing my relationship with him, you still recommended me to work in the Radbury Group? Are you scheming something?”
“Bingo! I’m up to something.”
He tried his best to lead her into the company, and of course, it was for his own sake. “What are you planning?” Ava asked vigilantly. Enrico leaned against the door with a crafty gaze. He pointed upstairs and smiled, “You know best about the relationship between me and him. Since I’m alone in this company, I need someone to help me.” “What can I do for you?” Ava was confused. “There are many things that you can help me with, such as.” He smiled casually and reached out his hand to lift her chin. She immediately dodged and asked, “So, you’re asking me to take your side?” “Although you and my brother have known each other for a long time, you don’t remember the past,
so we’re considered closer from the past four years. Of course, you have to stand on my side!” Ava shook her head, “I just want to work peacefully without getting involved in any of your schemes.”
“You need to be involved this time, cause I can’t find anyone else to help me except you.” Enrico looked pitiful, Ava knew that he was hard to read after knowing him for a long time and she couldn’t be sure if he was acting or being sincere. “What on earth do you want me to do?”
“There’s a safe in Damien’s office and there are important documents in it. Could you steal it for me?”
“You’re crazy!” She took two steps back as she was shocked. However, Enrico blocked the door and she couldn’t get out of the room. The confidential documents were locked in the president’s office, and
it was impossible for ordinary people to lay their hands on them. Moreover, it was even harder for her, a low-rank employee, to do
SO. “So, you are not willing to help me?” “It’s not up to my will, but you said it was locked in the president’s office. How can I steal it?” “Only you can do it,” Enrico’s gaze was extremely earnest. This time, he wasn’t joking. Ava was puzzled, “How come?” “Because you are Ava Nagel.”
She had a turbulent of feelings after hearing Enrico’s words, even after she left his office. Did she have to steal documents for him? Enrico saved her life and indeed helped her and her child a lot in the past few years. However, she needed to enter Damien’s office to…
Ava hesitated to do so. How could Enrico be sure that she could steal the documents? He must have thought too highly of her.
After all, he was her lifesaver. If she refused him right away, it would seem that she was conscienceless.
Forget it, she would just see how things went. The next morning, the supervisor asked her to send some documents to the secretary’s office on the 18th floor. She couldn’t refuse the task, and she carried the documents to the secretary’s office. For some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity the moment she stepped into the office. “Hello, I am looking for Dempsey Bradley, may I know who it is?” Ava asked a colleague who was sitting at the front desk with a low voice.
