A Lifetime With You Chapter 40
Chapter 40
Damien obviously had an enraged expression, and if it wasn’t because they were in public, he might’ve
already punched Enrico right in his face. But Enrico still showed a cheeky smile, “Brother, are you here
to send me off? Uhm…are you feeling sad to see me go?” “Stop talking nonsense and give me that
thing.” Enrico was still ying dumb, so Damien snatched the bag in his hand and opened it without
wasting any more time. He rummaged through Enrico’s bag rudely, and all his stuff, such as earphones
and watch, was scattered on the floor. Everyone started to look at this them, and Enrico’s smile
gradually faded due to this predicament. “Damien, what are you doing?” Damien found a small ck
satin box among Enrico’s stuff. When he picked it up and opened it, indeed, it was the seal he was
searching for. “This is something that father gave to me. You ain’t taking back, are you?” Enrico asked
coldly. “Hmm? Are you sure?” Enrico conceded defeat silently under Damien’s cold and piercing gaze.
He stole it secretly from his father, but how could Damien find out even though his father was still
unaware of this? Enrico stifled his anger and forced a fake smile instantly. “I’m just joking with you.
Well, this thing is quite exquisite and interesting, so I took it to have a close look. I forgot to return it
after I identally ced it in my pocket.” Damien was not fooled by his words. Instead, he asked with
an unfriendly tone, “Do you know the impact it might cause if the power of this seal is abused after you
stole it?”
“I… I don’t know.”
He was still ying dumb with Damien. “Fine, I will just return it if you want it so badly. You are still as
stoic and boring as when we were kids, and you can’t even take a joke,” said Enrico. Actually, Enrico
knew very well that it would be useless even if he had this seal because thepany’s current
president was Damien. Therefore, it wouldn’t be that simple if he intended to use the power of the seal.
Anyway, Enrico enjoyed Damien’s irritated expression. However, it was more entertaining to see that
Damien still couldn’t do anything to him even though he was furious. “You can snitch on me to mum
and dad if you are angry because of this. Worsees to worst, they’ll just nag me after I’vended
since I am boarding soon.”
Enrico stared at the seal and let out a whistle. Then, he bent down and kept all his things before he
headed to the boarding gate. He was humming casually as if nothing happened.
Damien’s face now was way grimmer than before.
Meanwhile, at the advertisingpany. Ava received a call from Selden when she was working. “Are
you out for dinner?” he asked.
“No, I have to work.”
“Then I’ll wait for you to finish.”
Ava still refused Selden’s invitation as she felt ufortable spending time with him after he
confessed to her. Plus, shouldn’t he be more mindful since he had a girlfriend now?
However, Selden continued, “I’m inviting you on Kelly’s behalf as she wanted to meet you and treat you
to a meal.”
Ava was taken aback.
Kelly? Why would she want to do that for no reason at all? However, Ava couldn’t refuse even though
she was still puzzled. After Ava got off work, Selden and Kelly came to herpany to pick her up.
“Ava,e on!” Kelly was very enthusiastic upon seeing Avaing out of her office. She quickly
approached and greeted Kelly warmly before she held Ava’s arm affectionately. Ava was a little
shocked by Kelly’s friendliness. Although they have met each other several times before, they would be
considered total strangers if it wasn’t for their mutual friendship with Selden. Were all the actresses
always so friendly? Kelly held Ava’s hand and got into the car. Soon after that, Selden turned around
from the driver’s seat and greeted her. “Ava, I haven’t gotten the chance to have a proper chat with you
recently. What do you want to have for dinnerter? It’s my treat!”
Before Ava could respond, Kelly said the name of a restaurant and asked Selden to send them there
quickly.
After all, Kelly was a famous star and she would always attract attention wherever she went. Hence,
she would always book a private room whenever she went out for a meal. After three of them had
taken their own seats, Kelly took a big paper box from her bag beside her and passed it to Ava. “This
is…” “Ava, it’s really fated that we could bump into each other. I saw this beautiful bag when I went
shoppingst time, so I bought it for you!”
When Ava opened the paper box and saw a designer bag inside, she immediately knew that it
obviously something incredibly pricey. She quickly declined it, “I’m sorry but I can’t ept such a
valuable gift.” “This is just a small token of my appreciation. Ava, are you rejecting it because you
dislike it?” “Of course not…”
Ava couldn’t refuse anymore, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and ept it. Meanwhile,
Selden was drinking while he listened to their conversation casually. Ava red at Selden secretly as
she couldn’t picture the reason why they suddenly asked her out for this dinner During the dinner, Kelly
trying to bring up the fact that she was one of the spokespeople of a certain brand under the Radbury
Group. Moreover, she kept highlighting that she was very close to thatpany. Ava still didn’t catch
her drift and she only smiled in response to Kelly. Selden picked up a sushi roll and stuffed it into
Kelly’s mouth, and said, “Stop talking when your mouth is full, and don’t choke yourself.” “You have
always wanted me to be cheerful, aren’t you? I just want to chat a little more with Ava because we’re so
compatible with each other.” Ava smiled awkwardly and continued to finish her sd. When Kelly
almost finished her food, she got up and went to the washroom to fix her makeup. Soon, Ava and
Selden were left alone at the table. Selden said apologetically to Ava, “She’s this friendly with
everyone. Since she got to know that you are Damien’s wife, she wanted to build a better rtionship
with the Radbury Group to renew her contract in the next quarter. That’s why she wanted me to ask
you out for a dinner, I hope you don’t mind.”
“Oh, I see…”
Ava nodded when she understood their motives. No wonder Kelly kept mentioning the Radbury Group
just now.

It seemed that Kelly had assumed that Ava could help her because she was married to the president of
Radbury Group Too bad, she didn’t have much final authority in front of Damien. “I’m sorry, does that
bother you?” Selden asked. “Miss Hensley seems to have a very good personality, and she really suits
you.” He looked down and grinned. Had she mistakenly thought that Selden had spoken lesser than
usual, and even his smile looked somewhat fake? She took a sip of the juice, but she spilled it on the
table identally when she wanted to put it back. “Gosh!” It was toote when she wanted to avoid it
and the edge of her skirt ended up getting stained with some juice.
