A Lifetime With You

Chapter 122

Ava looked around. A few of the candidates who had had their interviews standing outside in groups while whispering to each other. Of course, their topic was about Damien. “I don’t know why is the president here today. But to be able to see such an admirable man, it is worth it, even if I fail the interview!” Luella looked infatuated. Ava was stunned again. She was nervous when she saw Damien just now. Did that mean that she was just like these young girls here, who were his fangirl?

But was it possible?

At this moment, Damien came out of the interview room. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

The hall was in complete silence as soon as he came out.

Ava was stupefied and froze on the ground as she watched him walk towards her. Just as she had expected about Damien’s sudden appearance at the interview hall today, he was aiming for her. Ava thought that if he knew she would be working in his company, wouldn’t it be awkward for the both of them?

It seemed like it was impossible for her to find a job peacefully. Perhaps she shouldn’t even have shown up here today. As he walked in her direction, she contemplated if she should turn around and leave or should she walk up to greet him as if nothing had happened? It was said that exes couldn’t be friends, so was she considered his ex then? While she was still deep in her thoughts, Damien passed by Ava and he didn’t even look at her. He walked past her and went straight to the elevator.

At that moment, she was somewhat disappointed, but she felt relieved at the same time. “Miss Nagel, why are you so pale?” After Damien left, Luella asked. Ava smiled, “I’m fine.” “Humph, really? I saw that your eyes were fixated on the president, don’t tell me you’re in love with him!”

“Wha… What do you mean?” Luella pointed casually and said, “You see, two-thirds of the girls who applied to work here are trying to get closer to the president. When he showed up just now, everyone’s eyes were gleaming with awe.”

“You’re exaggerating,” Lu Ava rolled her eyes. Although Damien was handsome, it was an exaggeration to say that everyone was falling for him. Luella said, “Of course not! If it wasn’t for the chance to get closer to him, why would these ladies who graduated from well-known universities willingly apply for the grassroots clerk position, with a low salary of only a few thousand dollars a month? It’s because the clerk of the administrative department is the most likely to be promoted to the president’s secretary office!”

After the interview, Radbury Group asked the candidates to go back and wait for their notice. Ava had never expected the clerk position to be so competitive, therefore, she felt like there were no hopes for her to be employed. However, a few days later, she received an email from the Radbury Group for her employment. She hesitated, as she couldn’t be sure if it was because of Damien. What would he think of her if she were to work in Radbury Group? When Jean saw that his mommy had been frowning the whole day, he said, “Mommy, if you don’t go to work, how can you support our family?” She laughed, “Hmm… are you worried that mommy wouldn’t be able to feed you?” “Mommy, I think you should go to daddy’s company to work,” Jean said to her seriously. However, Ava was still hesitating. “Mommy, do you think daddy might be a bad guy? It is all just speculation for now. How would you know if he’s good or bad if you’ve never even tried to talk to him?” Jean only met Damien once, but now he called him ‘daddy’ without a hitch. Ava felt uncomfortable when he first addressed Damien that way, but after a while, she had gotten used to it. She thought about it carefully and felt that her son’s words were reasonable. Everything she knew was stories that other people had told her, even her memory could not be real, not to mention others’ words. Perhaps she should have checked and taken a closer look. Ava got up early that morning. After she asked Jessica to take care of Jean, she showed up at the Radbury Group’s Headquarters according to the date of employment in the email.

The high-rise building was magnificent to look at. How much wealth did someone possess to be able to own a building like this?

Ava took a deep breath, and she walked into the building.

It happened to be the rush hour for work and many people were waiting for the elevator. She couldn’t squeeze into the elevator even after waiting for ten minutes. She glanced at the time and thought, “Although I won’t be late for work, I should still arrive earlier on my first day so that I can leave a good impression on my colleagues.” However, the Administrative Office was on the 17th floor. It would be troublesome if she walked upstairs. She looked around and saw that everyone was waiting for the three elevators on the left side, there was one on the right side that no one was using. Was it broken? But there was no sign of maintenance in front of the elevator. Ava walked to the elevator and tried to press the button. The door opened unexpectedly. She was afraid that the elevator was broken and dared not go in. Just as she was about to ask others, she noticed that everyone was looking at her strangely. Four years had passed, the workers of the Radbury Group had changed, and none of the grassroots

employees knew that Ava was the president’s wife. “Erm… What’s wrong?” “You’re new, aren’t you? This elevator is specially made for the president, which leads to the 18th floor of the president’s office,” Her colleagues told her.

So that was it. Ava thought for a moment, the administrative department was on the 17th floor and the elevator led to the 18th floor. Which meant that she just needed to go down a floor using the stairs? Although it was exclusively for the president, it looked no different from other elevators. Also, was it possible for the president to take the elevator at this time? However, no one would dare to step into that elevator, and if she were to take the risk, wouldn’t she be the attention of the crowd? No way! The relationship between her and Damien was complicated enough, so she couldn’t expose that to others. It was better not to stand out too much, as she was now a grassroots worker. As she was thinking, she

silently took a step back to the crowd who were for the elevators. Suddenly, she bumped into someone from behind. “Oh no, I’m so sorry!” Ava hurriedly apologized. “Just go in if you want to take this elevator. Go line up for the other one if you don’t. You’ve hesitated long enough.” The voice of the man behind her was cold and familiar. She turned around and saw Damien’s face. It was the first time that she stood so close to him. Since she was short, she could see his jawline when she raised her head.

Ava quickly lowered her head and retreated to aside, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to use your elevator.” Damien didn’t say much in front of the employees, he walked straight into the elevator instead along with his secretary and assistant.
