“Tsk.”
Fiona scoffed and smirked coldly.She was also so jealous that she was going crazy.
“That orphan Ava is like a small character intoxicated by success.I don’t know where she found her rich and handsome boyfriend.Now, she’s best friends with the president’s sister.What a lucky b*tch.”
As soon as she said that, she saw the phone on Ava’s desk vibrating.
Then, she realized that Ava had forgotten to bring her phone.
Fiona quickly walked over, grabbed the phone, and saw that it was from a man named Danny.
“This looks like Ava’s boyfriend.I remember she’s always saying the name Danny when she’s on a call.”
Kendra came over and confirmed.
Fiona curled the corners of her lips slyly.
Then, she picked up the phone and said in an extremely pretentious voice, “Hello, this is Ava’s phone.”
On the other end, Daniel was slightly taken aback when he heard this.
“Who are you?”
“I’m Ava’s colleague.I think Ava just went out with a male colleague and she left her phone on the desk.May I know who you are? I’ll tell Ava later so she can call you back.”
Fiona was obviously lying.
After she said that, she heard Daniel staying silent for a few seconds.
“Hello?”
She pretended to be curious and asked again, “Sir, are you calling Ava because there’s something urgent? If there is, I’ll go to the restaurant to find Ava and hand her the phone.”
Fiona pretended to be kind, then she lifted her eyes to give Kedra a look.
While she was waiting for Daniel to reply, Ava suddenly walked in from the door.
When she saw Kendra and Fiona at her desk, she walked over curiously.
“Why are you standing at my desk? Why are you holding my phone?”
Ava quickly walked over and snatched her phone away from Fiona’s hand.
“Hello? Hello? Is this Ava?”
She could vaguely hear Daniel’s voice from the phone.
Ava quickly grabbed the phone to take a look.She saw that it was from Daniel and the call time was about two minutes.
She looked at Fiona in dissatisfaction, then recomposed herself before replying to Daniel.
“Danny, it’s me.I left my phone on my desk and I came back to retrieve it.Do you need me for anything?”
When Daniel heard Ava’s voice, his mood instantly grew better.
“I’m coincidentally near your office so I wonder if you could come out for lunch?”
“Huh? You’re downstairs now?”
Ava walked to the French window as she said that.
Then, she looked outside.
Even though the building was tall, she could still spot the familiar car parked on the side of the road outside the entrance of the building.
A happy smile appeared on her face.
“I’ll come down now.Please wait for a while.”
Then, Ava hung up the phone joyously and turned around to walk back out.
“Ava, Fiona just answered your phone for you.What attitude is this? You didn’t even thank her,”
Kendra grumbled at Ava, feeling pissed.
Ava was in a good mood so she did not want to quibble with her.
She smiled and said carefreely, “Thanks.”
Kendra and Fiona were struck dumb for two seconds.
When they saw Ava leaving happily, they followed behind her.
After they got out of the elevator, Kendra and Fiona saw Ava running straight to the entrance of the company.
Meanwhile, Daniel was also waiting for her at the door.
When the two of them met up, they walked out while holding hands sweetly.
Kendra and Fiona wanted to watch the scene of them fighting about why Ava wanted to have lunch with a man, but Daniel did not even bring it up.
His face and eyes were filled with affection for Ava.
They were extremely jealous.
Ava initially wanted to have lunch with Maisie but Tom summoned Maisie all of a sudden and Daniel came just in time, so this resulted in their sweet lunch.
Daniel told Ava what had happened over the phone just now.
After Ava knew what Fiona said to Daniel, she smiled without a care.
Ava knew very well what kind of person Fiona was.She also did not want to let that kind of person affect their lunch together.
“Danny, I want to thank your friend for coming up with a way to save my laptop.Otherwise, I would’ve suffered from injustice.”
Ava thanked Daniel’s friend and then asked curiously, “But when I went with you that day, your friend looked at it for a long time and said the laptop has to be rewritten completely, so how did he fix it in the end?”
Daniel stopped eating for a while and then said with a prin after staying silent for two seconds, “That’s his profession, so I don’t know.Maybe he thought of another way after that.At the end of the day, what’s important is that it’s fixed.”
“Okay.”
Ava did not ask more questions.She then took some food and put it on Daniel’s plate while she was at it.
However, Daniel did not eat it and even looked a little lost.
Ava detected that something was not right.
“Danny, did something happen? Did your grandpa’s condition worsen? Or did something else happen?”
Daniel silently took a deep breath and looked into Ava’s worried eyes.
He said, “Grandpa’s condition is stable, so he hopes that Naya and I will get engaged as soon as possible while he’s in a stable condition.”
When Ava heard this, she immediately lost her mood t o eat.
However, she did not make a fuss or ask any questions.
Instead, she asked calmly, “Is there a date yet? When is the engagement?”
Daniel lowered his eyes that were filled with worries. At this moment, it seemed that he did not dare to look at Ava at all. After staying silent for a few seconds, he parted his lips.
“It’s this Sunday.” Ava clenched her fists, but it seemed that she gradually calmed herself down. She smiled softly at Daniel.
“Okay, it’s good that you’re doing it earlier on so you can end it sooner as well.” After Ava said that, she grabbed her fork again to continue eating. “I hope your grandpa will be out of the woods so when that happens, Naya and you won’t have to continue acting.”
“Ava.”
Daniel suddenly reached out to grab Ava’s hand. Even though there was a smile on her face, he knew she was not happy about this.
“Ava, you have to believe me. My fake engagement with Naya is just a stop-gap measure. The person I truly want to marry is you.”
Ava smiled and nodded after she heard that. “Of course, I believe you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have agreed t o this plan.”
Upon hearing Ava’s answer, a smile appeared on Daniel’s handsome face.
He tightened his grip on Ava’s hand and promised her again.
“Ava, I won’t let you suffer any grievances after this matter is over.”
Ava blinked curiously. She did not understand what Daniel meant by that.
