A Lifetime With You Chapter 140


    Chapter 140


    “Mum, your dress is dirty. I’ll ask Dempsey to send you back to change your clothes.” Damien was


    hinting for his mother to leave. Dempsey quickly came in and helped Karen to clean up the spige.


    Then, she used a napkin to wipe the edge of her skirt that had been stained with soup. Karen tugged


    her skirt in annoyance and looked at Ava with a strange expression.


    Ava didn’t know what she was trying to do. Therefore, she could only stand there motionless. “I’ll


    exin it to you next time.” After that, Damien immediately ordered Dempsey to escort his mother out.


    After Karen left, Damien lowered his head and looked at the mess on the floor.


    “What a pity of this tasty soup.” Damien’s tone was rather regretful, “Although my mum has a bad


    temper, her cooking skills aren’t bad. If the soup isn’t spilled, I’d like to have you try it.” “Humph, that


    was specially made for Enrico. She was just giving you some incidentally.” “So what I’m trying to say is,


    you are the only one who can stand on my side among the entire Radbury family.”


    He raised his eyes and fixed his gaze on her.


    Ava was stunned.


    She had heard some rumors while she was gossiping with Lue, and she hade to know that even


    though Damien was appointed as Radbury Group’s CEO, the chairman, and the chairwoman had


    always favored their youngest son instead of him. Although Damien was the one responsible for


    Radbury Group’s exceptional sess, his parents still gave Enrico a big portion of thepany’s


    shares. She never thought much about it in the past. However, that bowl of soup was enough to exin


    everything.


    No wonder he kept emphasized the fact that she wasn’t allowed to stand on Enrico’s side.


    However, she didn’t have anything at all. So, would her stance even make a difference? “Damien


    Radbury, don’t try to change the topic. In conclusion, I want to resign!” Ava tried to stand up strong for


    herself.


    Meanwhile, he curled his lips and smirked, “My mum knows about your existence now. What do you


    .think will happen if she knows about Jean?” After all, Jean was the only grandson of the Radbury


    family. If he was discovered by Karen, she would definitely take him away from her. At the thought of


    this, Ava took a deep breath and said, “You want to threaten me with Jean?” “The only way to protect


    him is to stay by my side.” “You? Aren’t you also nning to take him away?” She took a cautious step


    back.


    He grazed his forehead helplessly and said, “I’m indeed a scheming man, but the person who I’m


    nning to take away is you.”


    Eventually, Ava failed to resign from thepany. Except for Damien, no one in thepany knew


    about her thought of resignation. She had no choice but to continue to stay in Radbury Group. Although


    Damien had gone too far when he tried to threaten her, he wasn’t wrong. She could never let Karen


    know about Jean’s existence! And the only person she could rely on was Damien. Two dayster, Ava


    attended the team-building event in conjunction with thepany’s anniversary celebration. The


    Administrative Department didn’t have many people, so they had always conducted activities with the


    other departments. However, they were coborating with people from the secretarial department this


    time. What was even more surprising was that the President actually attended the event? “What’s


    going on? I heard that the President never took part in any staff activities before!” And this had caused


    a widespread discussion among the employees. Ava followed behind them with mixed emotions.


    Perhaps Damien showed up personally for her?


    But would he really do that? “Miss Nagel, what’s wrong with you? Why don’t you get in the car?” Lue


    asked. She followed the queue and got on the bus. However, there only a few empty seats left.


    And Damien wasn’t present on the bus.


    “Didn’t they say that the President would being with his secretary? But where’s him?” She asked


    Lue.


    “Of course, he’sing. But how could you expect the mighty President to squeeze with us in this tiny


    bus? He has already left with Dempsey in his luxury sports car.”


    Ava nodded in realization.


    She was right. Dempsey was his closest right-hand man in thepany. How could he be spending


    time with these low-ss employees? Soon, the bus drove along the highway and was heading


    towards the campsite where the event would take ce. It was a well-known camping ground in the


    suburbs with beautiful scenery. But everyone was feeling dizzy because of the endless road ride, and


    no one was in the mood to admire the spectacr scenery outside. All of a sudden, the driver picked


    up a call, and immediately turned the bus around, and drove in another direction. “What’s wrong? What


    happened?” Everyone hurriedly asked. “The President’s car broke down on the way. I’m picking them


    up right now,” The driver replied. A few minutester, they saw Damien and Dempsey. Although it was


    cool to drive a sports car on such rugged mountain roads, it became even more embarrassing when


    the car broke down halfway. Upon seeing that the President was about to get on the same bus as


    them, the employees were thrilled and exhrated. Some even woke up from their nap immediately.


    Everyone sat up straight


    and dared not make a sound.


    There were not many empty seats left on the bus. Ava and Lue were sitting together, and the seats


    next to them were vacant. Damien immediately sat down next to them, and he was just a short distance


    away from Ava. She secretly looked up at him. However, he didn’t say anything after getting on the


    bus. Instead, he leaned against the chair and closed his eyes to rest. The bus started up again and


    drove them to their destination. Ava was very sleepy at first, but she was wide awake after knowing that


    Damien was sitting just half a meter away from her. Damien, on the other hand, seemed to be having a


    good rest. He was sitting still with his eyes closed.

    “Ava, do you want some tangerines?” Lue was vivacious a moment ago, but she lowered down her


    voice in the presence of the President. She was afraid to disturb him. Ava received the tangerine from


    her and was about to shove it down her mouth. Suddenly, she noticed a hand stretching out from the


    aisle, “Give me some.”


    She was startled.


    Damien Radbury, the mighty CEO of Radbury Group, actually asked for some tangerines from his


    employees. Wasn’t he asleep? Ava had no choice but to give half of it to him. She could clearly see a


    faint smile underneath his cold expression when he took the tangerine from her. A few minutester,


    Damien reached out his hand again and asked, “Is there more?”


    “There’s no more.”


    “Yes! Yes! I brought a lot with me!” Lue answered immediately. Eventually, Ava had to pass the


    tangerine from Lue into Damien’s hand. However, he refused to take it. Instead, he said, “Peel it for


    me.” This person was really… Surrounded by the fixated gaze from the people on the bus, Ava had no


    choice but to peel another tangerine for him. Meanwhile, Lue was on cloud nine. She was so excited


    because the President was eating the tangerines she brought. After two hours on the road, they finally


    arrived at their destination.
