A Lifetime With You

Chapter 148

After that, Dempsey didn’t say anything. She just walked into the room and started printing the documents she needed.

The girls were so scared that they quickly left together without saying a single word. However, Ava was still not satisfied and asked Dempsey, “What are you going to do about them?” “Nothing, really.” There was no trace of anger on Dempsey’s face at all. “But they…” “Madam, thank you so much for what you did just now.”

She then turned around and solemnly made a bow. Ava was a little flattered. “I didn’t do anything. Anyway, I just couldn’t stand their gossip and I was so angry! Why aren’t you mad at all?” “There’s nothing to be annoyed about. You’ve seen it. They’re afraid of me, so they dare not say

anything in front of me.” “But they will talk behind your back!” “Gossip is scary indeed, but I can’t control anyone who wants to talk behind my back. As long as I am innocent and did nothing wrong, I’m all good.” Dempsey hesitated and continued, “Madam, you believe that I’m innocent in this, right?” “Of course! Otherwise, why would I stand up for you? However, even if we are in private, don’t call me ‘

madam’. If someone else hears us…”

“All right.” When Dempsey handed over the printed documents to the CEO’s office, she told Damien about what had just happened in the printing room. “There’s a lot of gossip about you in the company now. Do we need to do something about this?” Damien frowned, but what he was concerned about was another matter, “You are saying that she stood up for you?” “Yes, that’s right.” “She didn’t get mad?” Dempsey replied, “She was. She even taught those girls a good lesson for me.” “I mean, there’s a lot of rumors about you and me in the company, but she doesn’t care about that issue at all?”

Dempsey was stunned. “Madam… she trusts you very much, doesn’t she?” However, Damien did not look happy after hearing her words. There had always been many rumours about him in the company, and he never cared. It was not like the rumours would reduce if he did.

If he were to change secretaries due to some stupid rumours, it would be a waste of talent! However, Ava was not jealous at all when she heard this.

This was not a matter of trust, it was that she didn’t even care at all! Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

That night, Damien returned home very late.

By that time, Ava had already made sure her son was asleep before she went back to her own room. She didn’t even notice that he was back.

She was engrossed in her sleep until the middle of the night when she felt something cold on her face. Then she opened her eyes in shock. Without even having the time to react, her covers were pulled away by a hand. Then, a tall and dark figure rolled onto her bed. “What are you doing?” Ava cried out and kicked him out of bed. Then, Damien fell on the carpet and he remained silent for a long time. Ava was shocked and turned on the light in a hurry. She smelled alcohol all over his body. It turned out that Damien was drunk! He laid on the floor and was unable to get up. “What’s wrong with you? Why did you drink so much?”

Next, Ava ran out of bed in a hurry and tried to lift him up.

However, he suddenly reached out and held her tightly in his arms.

“Let me go…Hey!” Ava was speechless. When did he pick up the habit of sleeping in her bed whenever he got drunk? Damien held her face and suddenly chuckled. “Ava, is that you?” “Of course it’s me. Get up quickly and go back to your room.” “I’m not going back. This is my room… Where do you want me to

go?” What he said was actually true. Ava said, “Then you can sleep here. I’ll sleep in Jean’s room:” “Don’t go… stay here…” He grabbed her arm and refused to let go.

“Are you angry?” Damien looked at her with a pair of intoxicated eyes. A faint smile could be seen on his face and his cheeks were slightly flushed. Although he looked very annoying, he was also a little cute. She couldn’t even remain angry if she wanted to.

She replied, “No, I am not.”

Then he suddenly got angry and grabbed her tightly. “No, you must be angry with me!” “What are you saying, Damien? Are you out of your mind?” “I just want you to be angry with me, I want you to be jealous, why are you just… don’t you care about

me?”

He hugged her shoulder, and his tone suddenly softened a little.

Ava was stunned at this moment. Honestly, she didn’t think about it at all. Should she really be angry? When she heard the rumors about Dempsey and him, she felt lucky instead. She was happy that the employees of the company were not suspecting her. She was thankful that

Dempsey had become a shield for her instead! At this time, Damien tried to stand up, but since he was too drunk, he staggered and fell onto her. When the back of her head touched the ground, she didn’t feel any pain. It turned out that he put a hand behind her head to prevent her from hurting herself. The next second, he bent down and kissed her forehead. All of a sudden, she felt a jolt in her heart. He was the one who had drunk too much, but here she was feeling dizzy instead!

She should be feeling repulsed by his touch! Plus, he reeked of alcohol!

Then, Damien suddenly said, “I’m going to announce tomorrow that you are my wife!”

Ava immediately replied, “No!” “This is a fact. Even if you don’t remember, you can’t deny it.”

“But… but… This absolutely cannot be announced!”

Damien’s gaze turned icy. “You don’t want to publicly announce your relationship with me. Are you trying to give yourself a way out?”

She was speechless.

Perhaps that was what she really wanted in her heart.

As long as no one knew about the relationship between her and Damien, it would be much less troublesome when she really left in the future. 68

“You don’t want to acknowledge our relationship. Unless you…are you trying to go back to Selden?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“You’re happy that he’s back, aren’t you? You must be so excited…but you’re always unhappy to see

me…”

He held her face, and the smell of alcohol filled her nose. Damien’s voice gradually grew softer. As he leaned against her chest, he eventually fell asleep. Ava was still thinking of ways to stop him from doing anything reckless tomorrow, but he already passed out! She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She tried to push him away and stand up, but this guy was like a boulder. He was so heavy that she couldn’t even move him a little. “Damien! Damien, wake up! Hey! You can’t sleep on the floor!” He mumbled something and held her more tightly Ava helplessly whined, but her whole body was pressed against the floor under him. She couldn’t even move at all! “Get up! Gosh!” Finally, she managed to get out under his body. She was extremely exhausted after all that struggle.
