NovelEnglishChapter 142
She quietly looked at Damien, who was sitting in the distance. He had been surrounded by the crowd to toast just now. However,
he was gone in the blink of an eye. She felt gloomy, and she didn’t feel like socializing with her colleagues anymore. Instead, she
walked alone to a corner and sobered herself up. The night wind which blew in from the mountains was chilly. Ava was wearing a
flimsy shirt, and it made her shiver incessantly when the cold breeze gusted through her.
Suddenly, she felt a weight on her shoulders, and soon saw a thick beige coat fell on her body. The coat still had the remains of
warmth. She turned around and saw Damien. “Why are you here?” Ava hurriedly took off the coat and returned it to him. Her
colleagues would gossip about her if they were to notice this scene. He tapped her shoulder and assured, “They’re all drinking
beer over there, so no one’s gonna come.” Probably because of his drunken state, his face was also flushing red. His eyes were
dark and bright, just like the vast stars in the night sky behind him. Suddenly, she was bedazzled by his astounding appearance.
“I want to show you something.” He suddenly grabbed her hand and led her to the side. Some astronomy fanatic had brought
over a telescope and situated it at the edge of the mountain. The mountain edge was the most suitable place to observe stars
and universes.
Damien lowered his back and adjusted the telescope. Then he motioned for her to come over.
Ava went over with doubt, she didn’t know what he was trying to do. Then, she followed his instructions and stood in front of the
telescope. She could see an entire galaxy of stars through the lens. The vast universe was at its grand and spectacular view.
“Shift to your left a little. Do you see that?” “What am I supposed to see?” “The nebula over there is a Sagittarius. I bought an
will do.” “What?” Shocked, Ava immediately raised her head. However, she accidentally hit on his jaw while doing so.
Unexpectedly, he was holding her shoulder from behind in such an intimate posture... She was a little shy. Damien smiled and
told her, “Didn’t you ask me to pick a star for you from the sky? Since it’s too difficult to do so. Let’s hang it up in the sky.” She
was stunned. She really did say those words to him while he stopped by her house the other day.
But that was just a thing she simply made up. It was obviously an outrageous wish to ask for! But he really did it. “You have no
better place to spend your money, aren’t you?” Ava nagged. “You don’t like it?” “Even if I like it, I can’t move to that planet!” She
wasn’t delighted at all, and Damien was a little disappointed at her response. She ought to know that he had put in a lot of effort
to make it happen. “I was willing to pick the stars for you, but it turns out that I’m just not good enough.” His words made her
heart jolted. She instinctively wanted to break free from his embrace, but he resisted it. Eventually, Ava gave up and sighed
helplessly, “Damien, are you not going to let me go?” “It was you who provoked me first. So, why should I?”
She looked into his eyes. The night was dark, and she couldn’t seem to decipher his thoughts at all.
In her remnants of memories, everyone warned her that he was a bad guy who had hurt her numerous times.
But why was this bad guy so good to her? “Damien Radbury, just what kind of relationship do we have in the past?” “You once
liked me. You loved me for many years.” / “I’ve liked you. Have you ever liked me?” “The word ‘like’ can’t accurately define my
feelings for you.” He held her waist and bent over to kiss her. In contrast with his blunt and forceful manner, he was soft and
gentle this time. It seemed that she could push him away easily.
Unexpectedly, she didn’t do so. Perhaps it was because that he had brought her to see the vast river of stars today, or maybe it
was owing to the good weather, or it was probably because she was a little drunk. In short, she was feeling dizzy and light-
headed. He was sucking on every inch of her with his soft and tender lips, like a desperate person who almost ate her up.
very familiar as if her hands were meant to be placed at that position. His cool aura enveloped her until she was completely out
of breath. Suddenly, someone let out a cry of surprise from a distance. One of the employees of the Engineering Department
drank too much and went out to the bathroom. Just then, he witnessed the scene unraveled before his eyes. He thought that he
had mistaken, so he rubbed his eyes hard. Then, he rubbed it again.
In the darkness, he couldn’t get a glimpse of the woman. However, he caught sight of Damien’s tall and muscular figure, who
was obviously holding a woman tightly in his arms and was kissing her. Ava immediately loosened her grip and pushed Damien
away. Damien wanted to pull her in, but she quickly took off his coat on her. He chuckled. Then, he walked in the direction of the
guy with the coat in his hand.
“Pre... President, I... I didn’t see anything!” Since Damien was in a pretty good mood, he didn’t care much about it and let the
person go. The next day, when it was time to go back after the event ended, everyone was gossiping about how the President
had hooked up with a female employee. Unfortunately, no one knew who the woman was. Meanwhile, the male colleague who
had witnessed the scene was describing the encounter vividly. He said that the woman had a pair of slender legs, a slim waist,
and dewy fair skin. However, he still couldn’t figure out her identity after so much talking. Ava was flustered and anxious upon
hearing the gossips. Fortunately, they had guessed all the beautiful female employees in the entire company, but no one
guessed her. After all, Luella had already told them about her having a child. Therefore, everyone was speculating about
Damien’s chief secretary, Dempsey Bradley. “I knew it! Dempsey is young, pretty and capable. What’s more, she has been
working by the President’s side for the longest. Who else could it be but her?” “Exactly! If it weren’t for their close relationship,
how could the President trust Dempsey so much?” They were discussing loudly and unscrupulously during the bus ride.
Meanwhile, Dempsey and Damien had already left the place in the newly repaired sports car. . Who else had a curvaceous
figure and a pair of slender legs in the entire company except for Dempsey? Ava leaned against the window and listened to her
colleagues’ heated discussion. She felt very uncomfortable.
Was it true that Dempsey and Damien had a close relationship? Although Ava knew that she was the woman from last night, she
couldn’t help but be annoyed by their conversation..
