A Lifetime With You Chapter 147


    Chapter 147


    During the days in the Radbury family, Ava and Damien tried their best to avoid one another. This was


    the condition that she requested from Damien. Otherwise, she would immediately bring their child back


    to her mother’s home.


    Thus, Damien had no choice but to agree to this. He did not even take a step into her bedroom. As for


    work, the driver from the Radbury family would drop her by the curb to the opposite of thepany’s


    entrance. There was nothing much different, honestly.


    In thepany, nobody except for Lue knew about her rtionship with Damien. There were so


    many people in thepany that Damien and she didn’t even really get to see each other at work.


    However, the scandal between Dempsey and Damien was getting increasingly viral out of a sudden. It


    was all because of the one instance of mistaken identity at the camp. “Ava, aren’t you angry?” Lue


    dragged her to the balcony to talk during lunch break. “What am I supposed to be angry about?” Ava


    was confused. “The rumours about our boss and Dempsey, aren’t you and him a thing… Don’t you feel


    jealous?” “We both know that the person at that night wasn’t Dempsey at all. What’s there to be angry


    about? It’s really bad for Dempsey to get involved in such a rumor for no reason, honestly. Tell me, is


    there any way to help her clear her name?” “Girl, you want to help her clear her name? Don’t you find


    something off in this whole situation?” Looking at Lue’s anxious expression, Ava was even more


    confused. She couldn’t figure out what was wrong in this situation.


    As always, Damien had always been the center of the attention! He used to have rumors circting


    him, even the time where he was pictured with Kelly Hensley in the airport two days ago. Plus even if


    there was something, Ava would not bother. Lue could tell from herpletely nonchnt look that


    Ava was not at all worried. “Dempsey has been with the boss for the longest time, and she knows him


    the best. The two of them are always together every day for work. Besides, Dempsey is a very beautiful


    woman. Men would definitely be tempted by her! Ava, are you really not worried?” “It’s really not my


    concern. Why should I care what kind of woman he fancies?” Ava pouted. “Dear god! Cut the pretense


    in front of me, okay? I won’t say a single thing about you and our boss!” During their whole lunch break,


    Lue had been talking non-stop about Dempsey to Ava. Hence, Ava’s ears almost exploded from all


    the talk. At first, she didn’t pay much attention to it. However, she started to feel ufortable after


    hearing about it repeatedly. In the afternoon, when Ava was getting a form from the Finance


    Department, she ran into Dempsey who came over for some papers as well. Dempsey politely offered


    her seat for her. Everyone in the department widened their eyes in shock.


    After all, Dempsey was the one who worked alongside the CEO! Why would she offer a seat for a


    random staff member? “Assistant Bradley!” After walking out of the Finance Department, Ava quickly


    caught up with her. “What’s the matter?” “Well… In the future, when we are in thepany, can you


    not be too polite to me? If you do so, others will start to suspect. And…”


    “Okay, I understand.” Dempsey gave her a slight bow with a smile. She was still as polite as ever. For


    some reason, Dempsey made Ava feel like she was a very polite and nice person, yèt kind of distant. It


    was as if she was unapproachable.


    It was hard to say if she was the same when she was with Damien. As soon as this idea crossed her


    mind, she immediately shook her head. It didn’t matter to her if Damien and his secretary had a thing!


    At the end of the day, the two of them were just ‘temporary housemates’ for the sake of their son! “Miss


    Nagel, you should be going to the printing room after taking the form, right? The 18th floor’s printer is


    broken. I’ll borrow the one from the Administrative Department.” Dempsey said. Then, Ava nodded and


    followed Dempsey into the elevator. They went to the Administrative Department for the printing room.


    Before she even reached the door, Ava heard two or three female colleagues inside the room. So, she


    could only wait outside with Dempsey for a while.


    However, the people inside were chatting passionately.


    Ava clearly heard Dempsey’s name pop out of their mouths.


    It seemed that the gossip about Dempsey and Damien had spread everywhere.

    “Why do you think Dempsey is capable of rising to this position? Isn’t it all because she’s beautiful?”


    “Humph, she is not beautiful at all! She just knows how to dress up. As a female secretary, she wears


    such short skirts all the time… it’s clear that she wants to seduce the CEO!” Ava took a nce at


    Dempsey, who was next to her. She was obviously wearing the most formal skirt and the hemline had


    reached her knees! How was that considered short? “This group of women, they dress up so fancily to


    thepany and yet they have the guts to judge others!”


    Ava was so angry that she kicked the door open.


    The people inside the door were shocked. Seeing that it was Ava, they said, “Oh it’s you, Ava. Are you


    trying to scare us or what?” “If you didn’t do anything wrong, you won’t even think I’m trying to scare


    you. Why the hell are you guys gossiping behind people’s back… Gosh!” Ava said grumpily. Dempsey


    did not follow behind Ava. The door of the document room was not transparent so the female


    colleagues did not see her at all. “Ava, what do you mean by that? We were just chit-chatting!” “Chit-


    chatting? You have ndered the reputation of others that badly. It’s simply abominable!” “What? How


    is that ndering! Dempsey tried to seduce the CEO just because she has good looks!


    Everybody knows about this! It’s not like we spread this ourselves!” Ava was very angry. She thought


    such a hurtful remark was excessive, not to mention Dempsey who was involved in this matter heard it!


    She suddenly felt full of justice, “Do you have any evidence to even talk about this? Not to mention that


    Dempsey is not the kind of person you think she is. Even if she was, it is not your right to judge her!”


    “Oh, so she can try to seduce anyone with her looks, but people can’t talk about her? If she doesn’t like


    money, why the hell would she try to seduce the CEO?”


    “Money? Who doesn’t love money? Many people are unwilling to admit it, but who doesn’t want to be


    rich? I think it’s you guys who want to climb up the ranks for money!” Ava’s words were so harsh that


    the other women were almost rendered speechless. One of the female colleagues said, “Humph, sorry,


    we won’t do such a shameless thing!” Ava nced at the girl from top to bottom and said coldly, “Even


    if you wanted to, it’s impossible. Sleeping your way up requires a little bit of beauty.” Then, Dempsey


    finally couldn’t stand it any longer and burst intoughter outside the room. Upon hearing her voice, the


    faces of the few colleagues turned grim. They weren’t afraid of Ava because they thought she was new


    here and they were all senior staff here. But to Dempsey, they only dared to speak behind her back!
