A Lifetime With You

Chapter 40

Chapter 40
Damien obviously had an enraged expression, and if it wasn’t because they were in public, he might’ve already punched Enrico right in his face. But Enrico still showed a cheeky smile, “Brother, are you here to send me off? Uhm…are you feeling sad to see me go?” “Stop talking nonsense and give me that thing.” Enrico was still playing dumb, so Damien snatched the bag in his hand and opened it without wasting any more time. He rummaged through Enrico’s bag rudely, and all his stuff, such as earphones and watch, was scattered on the floor. Everyone started to look at this them, and Enrico’s smile gradually faded due to this predicament. “Damien, what are you doing?” Damien found a small black satin box among Enrico’s stuff. When he picked it up and opened it, indeed, it was the seal he was searching for. “This is something that father gave to me. You ain’t taking back, are you?” Enrico asked coldly. “Hmm? Are you sure?” Enrico conceded defeat silently under Damien’s cold and piercing gaze. He stole it secretly from his father, but how could Damien find out even though his father was still unaware of this? Enrico stifled his anger and forced a fake smile instantly. “I’m just joking with you. Well, this thing is quite exquisite and interesting, so I took it to have a close look. I forgot to return it after I accidentally placed it in my pocket.” Damien was not fooled by his words. Instead, he asked with an unfriendly tone, “Do you know the impact it might cause if the power of this seal is abused after you stole it?”
“I… I don’t know.”
He was still playing dumb with Damien. “Fine, I will just return it if you want it so badly. You are still as stoic and boring as when we were kids, and you can’t even take a joke,” said Enrico. Actually, Enrico knew very well that it would be useless even if he had this seal because the company’s current president was Damien. Therefore, it wouldn’t be that simple if he intended to use the power of the seal.
Anyway, Enrico enjoyed Damien’s irritated expression. However, it was more entertaining to see that Damien still couldn’t do anything to him even though he was furious. “You can snitch on me to mum and dad if you are angry because of this. Worse comes to worst, they’ll just nag me after I’ve landed since I am boarding soon.”
Enrico stared at the seal and let out a whistle. Then, he bent down and kept all his things before he headed to the boarding gate. He was humming casually as if nothing happened.

Damien’s face now was way grimmer than before.
Meanwhile, at the advertising company. Ava received a call from Selden when she was working. “Are you out for dinner?” he asked.
“No, I have to work.”
“Then I’ll wait for you to finish.”
Ava still refused Selden’s invitation as she felt uncomfortable spending time with him after he confessed to her. Plus, shouldn’t he be more mindful since he had a girlfriend now?
However, Selden continued, “I’m inviting you on Kelly’s behalf as she wanted to meet you and treat you to a meal.”
Ava was taken aback.
Kelly? Why would she want to do that for no reason at all? However, Ava couldn’t refuse even though she was still puzzled. After Ava got off work, Selden and Kelly came to her company to pick her up.
“Ava, come on!” Kelly was very enthusiastic upon seeing Ava coming out of her office. She quickly approached and greeted Kelly warmly before she held Ava’s arm affectionately. Ava was a little shocked by Kelly’s friendliness. Although they have met each other several times before, they would be considered total strangers if it wasn’t for their mutual friendship with Selden. Were all the actresses always so friendly? Kelly held Ava’s hand and got into the car. Soon after that, Selden turned around from the driver’s seat and greeted her. “Ava, I haven’t gotten the chance to have a proper chat with you recently. What do you want to have for dinner later? It’s my treat!”
