A Lifetime With You Chapter 69


    Chapter 69


    Selden took a step towards at red at Selina. “Mind yourself, Miss Newton. I will the first one toe


    after you if you dare to hurt Ava” warned Selden.


    Goosebumps broke out all over Selina. Selden looked different from his usual carefree self, and her


    n seemed to fail miserably.


    She was in trouble now.


    “Mr. Newton, I understood your point of view. But how long can you restrain yourself? Since you are


    unwilling, then I will do it by myself!”


    At the secretarial department of Radbury Group. Damien left for a meeting with Miss Bradley in the


    afternoon. After less than twenty minutes, an intern from the finance department, Miss Lilly Walker


    rushed into the office. “Miss Nagel, where is Mr. Radbury?” The sweaty Lilly panted heavily with a


    folder in her hand. “Oh, he just left. Doe back again after four in the afternoon,” Ava replied. Lilly


    went into panic, “This is bad! There are errors on the report submitted to him earlier, and here is the


    corrected version of the document!”


    “What!” Ava was stunned at the remarks.


    Approximately thirty minutes had passed since both of them left, and it was impossible to catch them


    up by now. She tried calling both Damien and Miss Bradley again and again, but to no avail. Perhaps


    the meeting had started and both of their phones were silenced. “What should we do now! The finance


    department will be sacked if the project goes wrong due to inurate data!” Lilly shrieked. Lilly was


    feeling helpless and broke down in tears. Ava nced at the new documents brought by Lilly. Indeed,


    thepany would have to suffer a massive loss due to the incorrect figures provided. Although the


    amended copy could be submitted again in the future, the reputation of Radbury Group would be


    tarnished by then. “We are doomed…” Lilly had given up and plopped down on the floor. Ava knew that


    such mistakes were impossible for a fresh graduate like Lilly. She was most probably a scapegoat for


    the incident. She grabbed Lilly andforted her, “Don’t worry. The meeting has just started and we


    can still make it in time if we leave now.” “… Really?” Lilly saw a glimmer of hope upon hearing Ava’s


    words.


    But she soon shuddered in fear again, “No way! I’m just a mere intern and it is impossible to barge into


    the meeting like that! How can I switch the report on time?” Lilly started sobbing again. Ava couldn’t


    bear to see her crying and gritted her teeth before saying, “Alright, I will personally deliver the report


    then.”


    “Really, Miss Nagel?” “Yes, but I can’t promise to make it on time.”


    Ava grabbed her phone and the report before dashing out immediately without her coat on.


    The sess of the recent acquisitions as well the career of the whole finance department was at stake


    now. She could only pray to arrive on time while urging the driver to drive faster. Fortunately, the


    meeting location was not far away and she arrived within fifteen minutes. Ava rushed inside the tower


    but was clueless about the exact location. She was left with no choice but to search floor-by-floor.


    Ava kept dialing the number but Miss Bradley was not answering her calls. By the time she reached the


    fifteenth floor, Ava was deeply exhausted and panted heavily. She nearly tripped as she pressed on the


    elevator door. A group of people exited the elevator and Ava bumped into one of them identally due


    to instability


    She felt a firm body and a man groaned in pain.


    “Oh! I’m sorry…” Ava was startled and apologized immediately. He was a middle-aged man dressed


    smartly in a suit and leather shoes. Ava bumped into his nose bridge and thetter was grimacing in


    pain now. “Hey! Watch where you’re going!” The male assistant supported his boss immediately and


    reprimanded Ava.


    Ava was stupefied and her anxiety escted. “I’m terribly sorry! I wasn’t paying attention…” Ava was


    bowing and apologizing profusely. Just then, the back of her cor was grabbed by an arm and she


    was forced to straighten her back. She looked up and it was Damien! “Damien, I was looking for you!”


    Ava was overjoyed upon the meeting.


    As the middle-aged man was about to scold Ava for injuring his nose bridge, he was surprised to see


    their interaction, “You know her, Mr. Radbury?” “Yes, I do.”


    Ava introduced herself immediately, “Hello, I am Mr. Radbury’s…administrative secretary. Nice to meet


    you!” Seemed like this man was Mr. Sachel, the one meeting Damien today then. This is the worst! Ava


    peeped at Damien nervously and worried about his reaction towards her sudden presence. Much to her


    surprise, Damien caressed her head gently instead and asked, “Does it hurt?”

    Compared to Mr. Sachel, Ava was in better condition. She replied, “Don’t worry, I am fine.” Damien


    turned to Mr. Sachel and apologized, “I’m sorry that my wife ran into you by ident. Demsey, please


    apany Mr. Sachel to the hospital for a quick check. The medical bills are on me.” Mr. Sachel was


    stunned by the exmation, “W… wife? So you’re Mrs. Radbury then?” He was left speechless now. It


    was an open secret that both Radburys and Newtons were preparing for a union. Hence, the rumor of


    him being married for two years was dismissed by Mr. Sachel. While wiping his nosebleed, Mr.


    Sachel’s annoyance was reced by a smile, “It’s a pleasure meeting you, Mrs. Radbury. Please


    excuse me for the hasty behavior.” Suddenly, Ava felt embarrassed. Being Damien’s wife was a


    privilege and she knew it. While Ava was prohibited to reveal her true identity in the past, it was


    Damien being frank about their rtionship now.
