Christmas Betrayals

CHAPTER EIGHT

AVA POV

“Hello good afternoon, sir. I am Ava Wilson from London. I was told to come work for your company for a few days.”

I said to the young man standing in front of me.

When I got to London before I could even get a hotel to settle down, I got a call from my place of work. My boss gave me a direct order which I couldn't disobey to work for the Less film industry for a short period of time.

I told my boss I am leaving for a holiday but I really don't know why he doesn't like me to have my own peace of mind.

Who works on a holiday for crying out loud?

Now I can't refuse his order or else it will mean trouble.

So here I am, in the Less company with my travelling box. I quickly dropped it with the gateman before entering the company.

When I was told to see the CEO, I was expecting to see someone who is in his forties or maybe fifties. I honestly wasn't expecting to see this young man standing in the office.

If not that he is the only one, I would have mistook him for another person.

But why is he looking at me with those intense eyes like he is trying to read my soul?

Is this how he welcomes guests by staying quiet and just watching them?

Or is my outfit bad?

Wait, I am dressed in a beautiful top and suit trousers. There is definitely nothing wrong with my dressing.

So why the hell is he looking at me like that without saying anything?

“Erm excuse me, sir. Sorry to bother you but is there any problem?” I asked in a polite manner.

He blinked his eyes and adjusted his tie in the most sexiest way.

‘Ava what the hell. Behave yourself, woman. Stop being a pervert.’

I caution myself.

“So sorry about that. Please have a seat.” he said as he walked to his desk.

I also walked to the desk and sat in front of him while he also sat on his own chair.

“Ava Wilson, right?” he asked.

“Yes sir.” I answered.

“I am Liam Flynn, but you can call me Liam. I am the CEO of this company. It's a pleasure to have you, and thank you for honouring our invitation.” he said.

Why is he thanking me when left for me? I won't be here in the first place. I was only forced to come here.

But there is no way I am going to tell him that.

“Thank you, Mr Flynn.” I said.

“I really don't mind you calling me Liam.” he said.

I was surprised that he wanted me to call him by his first name when there was nothing going on between us.

What is the reason?

“Sorry Mr FLYNN, but I would rather call you, Mr Flynn, than your first name. I am only here for business and not for anything other than that.” I told him clearly drawing whatever line he thinks he can cross.

“Fine Miss Ava. I will call my personal assistant to come over to brief you on what is necessary.” he said as he stretched his hand and picked his telephone.

“Come to my office right away.” he said before dropping the telephone.

In less than five seconds, the door opened, and a beautiful woman walked into the office.

Her outfit was screaming classy. She really looks good for a secretary.

“Fiona please can you take Miss Ava here to her office. Then, also discuss with her the themes of what we need to work with.” Mr Flynn said.

“Alright boss. Miss Ava, please follow me.” she said in a warm way.

I stood up and looked at Mr Flynn.

“I will take my leave now, sir.”

“Bye for now. Will see you around.” he said.

I was confused about what he meant by that because I definitely won't be seeing him around.

He is so strange, to be honest.

I followed his personal assistant, who was walking so elegantly right in front of me.

Honestly, I think she deserves to be a model than a personal assistant.

“Miss Ava, this is your office. You will be working with the other script writer. I will forward the necessary files to your email so you can study them and begin to work. Do you need anything else?” she asked.

“Sorry but I want to ask you a question which is not work related. May I?” I asked her, hoping she won't get offended.

But she didn't look like she was offended. Instead, she gave me a smile and answered.

“Sure you can ask your question.”

“Please have you ever thought of being a model before? I honestly think it's going to suit you better than working here in this company.” I said as I couldn't keep it in any more.

She laughed, making her face look younger.

“Miss Ava, you really are funny. Actually I have heard that a lot. But I really love my job. I prefer it to modelling. Also, my husband is the only one who gets to behold my beauty and not the whole world.” she smiled.

“Oh you are married. Your husband must be so lucky to have such a beautiful woman like you. That will be all. Thank you.” I smiled at her before I walked into the office.

I introduced myself to everyone and went to my desk. I checked my email and saw the papers she said she would send were already sent.

I began to study them because I wanted to finish up and go find a good hotel to stay. I am tired already and I am so famished.

It was almost six when Fiona walked to me.

“Miss Ava, that's all for today. I will take you to the hotel you will be staying.” she said.

“Huh? What hotel? I never asked for that.” I said, looking confused.

“You don't need to ask. It is the responsibility of the Less company to provide you shelter, food and all your essentials because you are helping us out. Let's go now.” she said.

I shut my laptop and stood up before going with her.

I remembered to pick my box from the gate post before I entered her car.

I honestly wasn't expecting she would take me to a five-star hotel that looked so beautiful, classy, and freaking expensive.

“Sorry Miss Fiona, but isn't there another hotel apart from this one? This looks so expensive.” I said to her as we were in the elevator.

“This is the hotel my boss instructed. I take you too, so I can't disobey his orders.” she smiled.

Wait, why will Mr Flynn tell her to take me to such an expensive hotel?

Is this really the same treatment he gives to other people?

“Can I really accept this?” I asked m

Fiona, to be sure I am not trying to get into a trap or something.

She smiled and nodded.

“Of course you can. Here is the room key. You can open the door yourself.” she said as we walked to the door.

I opened the door, and my jaw literally dropped.

This room is so beautiful and so big. I have never entered such a room like this before.

“You have a tour alone later. Also, for your meals, just make a call to the receptionist and they will bring whatever you want.” she said.

“Thank you so much.”

“You are welcome. Now I need to leave. My man is waiting for me. See you tomorrow at work.” she smiled before leaving.

I dropped my box and looked around. The room is so large. It isn't a queen sized bed that is in here but a king-sized bed. There is a dressing table and a walk-in wardrobe. Then the bathroom was the last place I entered.

The bathroom is bigger than my bedroom back at home.

My goodness. If I am to take a bath in here, I might spend the whole day just staying in here.

I went back to my bedroom and sat on the bed.

I heard my phone ring.

I quickly looked for it and when I found it, I noticed it was Jasmine calling.

I smiled, feeling so happy as I picked up the call.

“Jasssssssss!!!!” I dragged her name.

“Woah someone sounds so excited. Tell me, how is New York? Are you enjoying the place already?” she asked.

“Well I didn't have time to look around New York because I had to go to the Less company to work. Instructions from my boss.” I answered.

“Wait your boss told you to go work? On a Christmas holiday? What a bastard will do that? Why didn't you tell me earlier so I can go meet him?” she asked, sounding so displeased.

“Calm down. I couldn't tell you because I know you will react like this. Well, you won't believe it? This company is so big. Their boss is so dead, handsome, like I couldn't help myself when I looked at him. It was so hard to control myself, but I tried harder not to act all cheap. Although he kept looking at me like he was judging me or something. Girlll, you need to see his other staff, they are all beautiful, especially his personal assistant. You won't believe it again, they took me to a beautiful five-star hotel that is so expensive. I will take pictures and send them to you. I might love it here because I already love it here already.”

“Woah. My expression when you were talking about the new boss was like damn but it changed to wow when you talked about the hotel. Well, I am happy you are fine. Please don't think about anything here. I will take care of your house so you can just focus on yourself and your new work. Who knows, maybe you might have a boss and employee relationship before coming back. Don't worry. I am not against you getting some from the hottie boss before you get back.” she said before laughing.

“Jasmine!!” I blushed hard.

“Yes my nam....... what a f*****g bastard.” she hissed out in anger.

“Why what happened?” I began to feel concerned.

“It is this loud neighbor of yourself. I mean can't he keep it down. He has been disturbing me with loud music. I am so going there to break his speakers. Take care of yourself my best girl. I might talk to you later. I need to take care of this noisemaker.” she said before hanging up.

I laughed already feeling pity for my loud neighbor.

He is definitely going to lose his speakers today.
