A Lifetime With You

Chapter 134

But now Enrico and she made a pact. For the sake of stealing something for Enrico, she would even make up lies about herself.

Damien smiled even more bitterly, “It turns out that I was wrong, perhaps you are not the Ava that I’ve been waiting for, or maybe the Ava I’ve been expecting has always been like this.” He released her hand and moved aside, “You can go now.”

Ava didn’t move as she was stupefied.

Was he letting her go?

How could he let her go so easily? She was caught red-handed while stealing documents. Why wasn’t he holding her accountable? “Damien, …” “I don’t want to hear any explanations,” He interrupted her instantly. She lowered her head and saw that his hand was bleeding and since he punched at the wall, and there were some bloodstains on the wall as well.

“Your hand…”

“Ava, you’d better get out while I still can control myself. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee how would I act.” Damien didn’t even spare her a glance and asked her to leave immediately. Soon, she got out of the office as commanded. The secretary’s office was still empty. Ava suddenly realized how was it possible for everyone to leave the secretary’s office and the president’s office empty, considering that there were countless important documents here. It was obviously arranged by Damien. Everything was being set up to lure her into the trap in order to show her true colors. It turned out that he had known that Enrico would steal the documents long before!

A few days after the incident, everything seemed to be normal in the company. Damien didn’t take any actions nor punish her. As if nothing had happened. However, what happened couldn’t be changed. Ava was absent-mindedly playing some games on the computer during work, and she didn’t seem to hear when the internal telephone rang. Luella came over to pick up the phone for her, and told her, “Miss Nagel, the Vice President asked you to go to his office.” She was awoken by Luella, and when she processed what Luella had just told her, her expression darkened, “I don’t want to.” “Ava, what’s wrong? You’ve been preoccupied for these few days.”

“I’m fine.” “Then why won’t you go to the Vice President’s office? Did the two of you fight?” Ava had no choice but to repeat herself, “Luella, I’ve told you many times that Enrico and I are just normal friends.” “I know, I didn’t mean anything else.” She turned off the computer’s game and looked at the empty screen of the computer, but she didn’t stand up. Enrico then called her for a second time. She pulled out the telephone line immediately without intending to move. Then, Luella’s phone rang. After answering the phone, she said to Ava, “Miss Nagel, the Presi…” “I told you, I won’t go.” “But, it’s the President that calling this time, and he asked you to go to the 18th floor.” Soon, Ava stood up and walked towards the stairwell. Someone had to settle this matter and bring it to an end. She could only face the problem since she couldn’t avoid it.

She walked into Damien’s office, and he waved to her, “Come here.” She took a deep breath and walked towards his desk. There was a big box on his desk, and it looked like a gift. “Give it to Jean on my behalf,” He said to her. Ava was dumbfounded.

Damien explained, “I’ve promised Jean to buy him a toy car a few days ago, so I can’t break my promise.”

She was astonished.

If he wanted to give Jean a gift, why did he have to show it to her? Was he afraid that she won’t agree if he gave the gift to Jean himself? She took the gift without saying a word. No matter what, Damien

was still Jean’s biological father, and she had no reason to refuse him if he wanted to dote his son. When she was about to leave with the gift in her arms, Damien stopped her, “Also, pass this to .Enrico.”

Ava saw him took out a folder from the safe and handed it to her.

It was the document that she tried to steal the other day.

“What do you mean?” “You wanted it, didn’t you?” Ava took the folder with doubts, so she opened it and had a look at it. It was indeed the document that she wanted, and it wasn’t photocopied and no pages were missing. But why?

Enrico had told her about the importance of this document. The two brothers were not on good terms for many years and considered each other as enemies, so they probably tried their best to trample each other under their feet.

The proof of trade between Enrico and the Newton family was enough to have him trampled and be locked away for the rest of his life.

It was the last strategy to destroy Enrico. Why would Damien give in to Enrico? “What are you doing?” Ava asked. “Since you wanted it, I’ll give it to you.” Damien’s expression was calm and indifferent, and there was neither anger nor joy that could be seen from his face.

She couldn’t understand the situation.

“Damien, when I opened your safe that day, I…” “You don’t have to explain anything, it was my fault for being angry at you. It always slips my mind that you don’t remember me. How can I treat you the way I treated you before?” Ava wanted to say something, but the words stuck in her throat. In the past few days, she had thought about many things. Although she had promised to steal documents for Enrico, it was just to repay him for saving her back then. She was still at fault for the fact that she had stolen the

documents. She wanted to apologize to him, but somehow she couldn’t say it out loud. But now, he was apologizing to her unexpectedly. “Why, Damien? What do you want from me?” He took half a step closer and lifted her chin, “I don’t want you to repeat the mistakes.”

“Huh?” “I don’t care if you did this for Enrico or not, this shall be the last and only time that you’re allowed to be on my enemy’s side. After this, you must stand on my side no matter what.” He stared at her face without blinking and he forced her to look at him as well. His eyes were mysterious and she couldn’t figure out what he was thinking. From what he said, he didn’t seem to be angry with her. Ava calmed down at the thought of this. She suddenly felt that Damien was different from how she imagined him to be. Also, he was totally a different person from how Enrico and her mother described him.

Should she believe the Damien in the past that she couldn’t even remember, or believe the man in front of her?

“Will it affect you if you give it to me?” She asked him while holding the document. He smiled slightly, “What’s wrong, are you worried about me?” “No, Enrico said that the document is very important to him, and it’s a matter of life and death. But if you gave it to me…” “I’m not interested in holding onto my brother’s life, why would I take his life?” How could it be possible?

Ava’s doubts grew deeper. Was he always generous? But weren’t they each other’s enemy?
