A Lifetime With You

Chapter 55

Chapter 55
Ava reigned in her anger and spoke loudly, “I know that you just want to torture me, but this is a matter between us and it has nothing to do with my company. So, please don’t implicate others.”
Damien snorted again. In fact, he also came to know about Ava’s advertising company today. That morning, Dempsey went to hand over Ava’s phone and she found out that Ava was working for the company that the Radbury Group had collaborated with previously. So, Dempsey just sent the document as well.
The advertising plan that Ava’s company came up with didn’t meet the standards of the Radbury Group at all. Thus, it was reasonable for the Radbury Group to terminate the contract and Ava wasn’t involved in that decision at all.
It seemed that she had misunderstood him completely. He sat back on the chair and said, “I can waive the penalty from your company but I won’t let your company handle this project anymore.” “Okay, that’s enough,” Ava turned and planned to leave. But Damien continued, “You haven’t heard me finish my terms.”
So, she had to halt her footsteps.
What more could he want if he was still unsatisfied with the terms that he had mentioned just now? She had nothing else to give him anymore. “What are your conditions?” “Put this on.”

Damien took out a small black box from the drawer of his desk and pushed it to her.
Her eyes narrowed instantly.
This was her wedding ring, wasn’t it? “Damien, what do you want?” This ring was bought when they got married, but he had taken it back on the night after the wedding.
Because he said that she didn’t deserve it.
That heartless sentence had destroyed her happiness from being newly-wedded. Besides, these rings would always be a reminder of her misery during their two years of marriage. What did he mean when he took out the ring again? “Put it on when you’re out and never take it off,” his lips quirked up in a mischievous smirk. So, this was his condition.
“Damien, what exactly do you want to do?” “After all, everyone in your company knows about your status. So, just wear it to remind yourself of your current identity.” Suddenly, Damien’s expression became callous again.
He wanted her to wear this ring all the time to remind others and also as a warning that she belonged to him. It was also to avoid her from being involved with other men.
Ava couldn’t catch his drift, instead, she felt that he was insulting himself.
She didn’t deserve the ring in the past, but why did he suddenly change his mind now? She sneered before she turned around and left. Damien didn’t move and said quietly, “You can’t even do such a simple thing. Ava, it seems that you didn’t come to me sincerely.” She couldn’t help but feel upset. Then, she turned around to grab the small box on the desk – before she walked away again. She clenched that ring tightly in her palm and she couldn’t catch a wink of sleep that night.
She could still remember that she was extremely delighted on the night when she received her university offer. She did victory laps around her home and even pinched her tighs repeatedly to remind herself that she wasn’t dreaming. She finally got into the same university as him. On top of that, she was in the same major and class as him.
No one knew how much effort she had put in to get closer to him.
On the freshman orientation day, she mustered up all her courage and went to greet him. However, all she got in return was a cold and indifferent expression. “Damien, don’t you remember me? We…we are from the same high school! I am in Class 5 and you were in Class 7! But now, we are finally in the same class.” However, he didn’t show any expression. Obviously, he probably didn’t even remember her name. As the student who entered the famous university with the top entrance examination score, everyone had their attention on Damien during the orientation. However, she just sat silently in the corner and watched him speak as he was the welcome representative.
