Carrying His Heir While Fighting His Lies novel Chapter 10

Ava Rose Jensen

The other gentleman, Mr. Eric Johnson, was talking to

Nathan and I were listening.

I cannot understand why he is repeating the same thing.

We have already said no to them for this work.

After he finishes, he looks toward me, and so does Nathan.

Ok So now I must speak. Having no choice, I cleared my throat. I do not know why it got dry.

"Well, Mr. Johnson, we appreciate your offer, but I do not like to beat around the bush. So let me come straight to the point. You have been trying to get my appointment for the past few months for the same thing we discussed. If I am not wrong, we have already informed you that we would like to work on our creativity rather than correcting others' work.

Moreover, as per my knowledge, if you have a full-proof security system, then what is the need to upgrade the system?" I asked while taking a hand rest on my table.

"How do you know we have a full-proof, secure system?" The first time Mr. Jensen spoke in his husky voice

Does he have this beautiful voice all this time? Why can't I remember this? Oh, again, 5 years. People forget the faces in 5 years. I am just forgetting the voice. I laugh internally at my thoughts.

Well, as far as I know, they are all waiting for my response. So I composed myself, looked towards him, and spoke.

"First, I have my ways; second, you know where you are sitting, and for a company like us, it is easy to get information about any other company; I like to do my homework properly, sir." I empathize with SIR with no emotion on my face.

'Well, I was the one who secured your system, dear Mr. Jensen.' Oh, how I want to say this on his face. But well, I do not want to disclose anything to him.

"Well, our system has been tampered with once, and it might get tampered with again in the future. So we do not want to take a risk; hence, we want the best security system possible, Miss Ava Rose." Mr. Johnson finishes this while smiling.

Well, then, you must change the entire system, and we will create the whole new software for your company. Would it be ok with you, Mr. Johnson?" I asked, looking at him.

He looked toward Mr. Jensen, looked back towards me, and said, Well, that will not be any problem with us, mam".

I looked at Nathan, and he was looking pleased to be working with such a big company, and I rolled my eyes internally.

I looked back and said, "Okay, then we shall get back to you with details soon.".

He smiled politely and said, "We will wait for Miss Ava Rose."

"By the way, do you mind me asking something?"

No, not; please go ahead."

Why, Ava Rose? I mean, I guess Rose must be your middle name."

"Well, Rose is my grandmother's name, and I like to use her name with me." I reply politely.

No string is attached.

Ok, then, it was great meeting you guys. We shall now take your leave." Mr. Johnson spoke while getting up from his seat.

We nodded and got up.

Mr. Blake Jensen came toward me after shaking hands with Nathan, but his eyes never left mine, and my heartbeat rose.

Why the hell is he looking at me like this? As far as I remember, I have nothing of his, even though I must return his card without using it. Now, what does he want?

"Mrs. Jensen" nods towards me, giving his hand to shake.

"Ava is fine." I shake my hand. I could feel his hot palm on my cold one, and he pressed a little. God, what is this tingling in my stomach?

I saw from the corner of my eye that everyone was leaving the room.

He came too close to my liking and spoke or whispered in my ear, No, I LIKE MRS. Jensen," saying he kissed my neck, and I felt his one hand holding my waist and another touch my necklace. This closeness was making me dizzy, and my body shivered at his touch, which I am sure he must have felt too.

And spoke again. "Happy Birthday, darling." He kissed my cheek.

I stood there like a statue.

"See you soon, baby," he said and left while leaving me alone, wondering what had just happened.
