A Lifetime With You Chapter 53
Chapter 53
Selden’s voice sounded rather helpless. However, he didn’t seem to dwell on the sadness even though
he had broken up. He even joked with Ava, so she had no idea how tofort him at all. Selden
smiled, “Well, you have nothing to do with what happened between me and my ex-girlfriend, so you
don’t have to think about it too much. If you really feel guilty, maybe you can treat me to a mealter
tonight.” “Isn’t it inappropriate for me to have dinner with you for the time being?”
“Then, tell me a time which suits you because I’m always free.”

“Selden, how can you be so shameless for the sake of a free meal!” Then, a colleague knocked on the
door of the pantry and reminded Ava softly, “The boss wants you to go to his office.” After all, it was
working hours, so Ava hung up the phone and walked into the boss’s office.
Dempsey, who was the secretary of the Radbury Group, had just left and Ava had no idea what
Dempsey had said because the boss looked upset.
“Mr. Hemsworth, are you looking for me?” An ominous thought shed through her mind suddenly.
Indeed, Mr. Hemsworth raised his eyes weakly and nced at her. “Ava, although we are just a small
company, I’ve treated you well enough all along, right?” There was a hint of resentment in his tone.
“What do you mean?”
“You have no idea at all?” Ava was very confused by her boss’s resentful words. Then, she caught a
glimpse of the document on Mr. Hemsworth’s desk and it looked like the one that Dempsey had just
brought it. “Mr. Hemsworth, do we have a problem with the Radbury Group?” she asked. “Ava,
everyone knows about your rtionship with Damien. Perhaps a smallpany like ours can no
longer afford to hire such a big shot like you!” Ava was getting more befuddled by his words. So, she
took a step closer and asked, “Mr. Hemsworth, what happened? Can you please exin everything to
me clearly?” “The Radbury Group has just sent someone to inform us that the advertising project that
we had done for them is unqualified. Thus, they want to terminate our contract, and they even asked us
topensate them with triple the amount of the initial fee!”
“What?”
Ava took the folder from him and nced through it quickly. This project was thergest order that the
company had received for the first half of the year. Besides, the revenue of the second quarter
depended on this order. Furthermore, colleagues from the design and publication departments had
worked overtime frequently toplete this project. But, a single “underqualified” word from Damien
had obliterated all of their efforts. “Why do we have to pay for the penalty when the Radbury Group
wants to end our contract?” Ava said. “You have to ask Mr. Radbury regarding this. The Radbury Group
is a bigpany, so a small
From Mr. Hemsworth’s tone, Ava knew that he had totally misunderstood the situation. Unfortunately,
all her efforts to exin it to him were futile.
Ava immediately realized that Damien had deliberately caused trouble for herpany after their
argument yesterday.
How could the president of the renowned International Radbury Group be so petty! “Mr. Hemsworth,
this is…” “Ava, go and have a good talk with Mr. Radbury. We can fix his dissatisfaction with the project
as well, and I’ll try my best to make it up to you if you’ve been displeased with me, alright?” “But what’s
the point of asking me to inform him?” “Since you’re his wife, can’t you solve this issue easily by talking
to him? Ava, could it be that you’re unwilling to do that?” “It’s not that, but…” How could she possibly
have the right to speak to Damien in the current situation? Obviously, Damien was targeting her! And
he wanted to show her who was the boss from the start! Ava shook her head, then Mr. Hemsworth
immediately stood up and held her hand tightly when he noticed that she was reluctant to help. “Ava,
thepany will suffer a huge loss if we lose this project. Besides, thepany can’t afford to pay the
penalty. Ava, please save ourpany for the sake of ourradeship for the past few years!”
“It’s not that I don’t want to, but I…” It was just that she was about to divorce Damien, so how could she
beg for his help to save herpany? “You are the wife of President Radbury! You can solve things
like this easily. You can still go home peacefully and enjoy your luxurious life without thepany. But,
what about other employees in thepany? They still need to support their family and pay for various
loans. They won’t be able to survive if ourpany goes bankrupt. Ava, I’m begging you, do I have to
kneel down in order for you to agree?”
As soon as Mr. Hemsworth finished his words, he immediately acted as if he was about to kneel down.
Ava couldn’t allow her boss to kneel in front of her, so she quickly helped him up. Ava couldn’t stand his
repeated requests, not to mention that this matter directly affected her, but it also involved the
livelihoods of the other employees in thepany. Thus, she had no choice but to agree with her boss’
requests. When Mr. Hemsworth heard that she had agreed, he immediately had a delighted smile on
his face. “Ava, please put in a good word about ourpany to President Radbury! Ourpany’s
future will
be solely relying on your support from now onwards!” Ava gave a wry smile, which looked even more
depressing than a crying face. She had no other option, so she called Damien under Mr. Hermsworth’s
prating gaze. “Sorry, the call you are dialing is in progress…”
The call was not connected. Indeed, why would Damien be willing to pick up her call? “Mr. Hemsworth,
Damien might be busy now, …” “Ava, this issue must be resolved today. Otherwise, no one would be
willing to do business with us if the news that the Radbury Group rejected our project is leaked out.”
Since the boss had already highlighted the importance of this matter multiple times, Ava was forced to
bring the documents to the Radbury Group to personally ask Damien for help. No matter whether she
was willing or not, she still had to give it a try.
Meanwhile, at the Radbury Group’s Headquarters.
Ava rarely came here throughout her two years of marriage with Damien. “You have no right to look for
me if I don’t acknowledge you as my wife,” Damien had once said those exact words to her. She stood
in the lobby on the first floor and said to the receptionist, “Hello, I am the executive director from the
Westrise Advertising Company. I want to discuss some important matters with President Radbury.”
“Westrise Advertising? I’ve never heard of it! Did you make an appointment?” Although the receptionist
was beautiful, her voice turned pompous when she heard the name of Ava’s smallpany. Of course,
Ava didn’t make an appointment.
“I really have to meet Damien to discuss something urgent, so please pass on the message,” Ava could
only stifle her anger as she continued to speak patiently to the receptionist.
