His Domineering Lover

Serena was dog-tired after the conference.

"How could those stars survive so many cameras and paparazzi every day?" She asked Avery, pressing herself against his chest. "Perhaps that's why they wear sunglasses all the time."

"I thought it is intended to look cool."

"Partly, and to protect the eyes from the flash. You're tired?" Avery cuddled her closer.

"Mm, exhausted. The journalists. They are so inquisitive."

Avery chuckled and gently brushed her nose. "We still have a lot in our hands, but we'll attend to them tomorrow."

"Good idea but tarrying won't do us any good. The bidding will start tomorrow."

She sighed and then continued, "Would you go to the M group with me later? I have some work to do."

"Of course."

He would say yes to any of her requests.

"By the way, I saw Amy just now. She looked pale."

Serena didn't mention what Amy had done.

But Avery had heard of it from Nisse and didn't intend to let Amy get away with it.

His face darkened. "Perhaps it doesn't feel good to lose."

"She will leave the company after the bidding. Will you feel upset about her leaving? She's capable."

Avery's brows furrowed and made a sound of disgust.

"Serena, I abominate her than anyone else. I'm very happy that she's leaving."

"Avery, you..." Serena saw the revulsion on his face.

"Silly, I know what she did. How long are you going to keep it from me? You should have told me as soon as you knew it."

"Avery, I can defend myself and she can't harm me. I don't want you to deem me gossipy."

"I don't want us to be bothered with someone else when we're together."

"Still, you will not do such things again," Avery demanded.

"What are you going to do with her?" Serena asked. Avery could become brutal when the line was crossed.

"Just leave it to me. I'll see to it that she pays her price," he answered grimly.

"Okay. I want to eat steak tonight." Serena changed the subject.

"Then I'll take a reservation."

"No, you make it for me," Serena said as she wrapped her arms around Avery's neck like a spoiled child. Avery gently kissed her. "Okay, we'll get off work early and go to the supermarket to buy ingredients."Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

They were just a normal couple, despite their high positions in the company.

They did things that every couple did.

Avery still remembered what Adam had said to him when he'd been a boy.

"Avery, if you want to marry my daughter, you have to know how to cook," Adam said.

His serious face was rendered funny by the hello kitty apron around his waist.

"Why? We have cooks," Little Avery asked in confusion.

"You'll thank me when you find out how happy it is to cook for the girl you love."

"Okay, Adam, I see."

Adam had instilled his love philosophy into Avery and the latter was an advocate of it now.

Although he was not good at cooking, he was making progress.

Days later, they won the bidding without surprise.

It meant it was time for Amy to leave.

"I won't fire you. You'll resign," Serena said without much emotion.

Amy looked at Avery with pleading eyes. "President, I don't want to resign.I'm wrong. I'm stupid to make a bet with Serena. Could you let me stay?"

Avery was the man she had been in love with for two years. The thought of leaving him was harrowing.

Besides, she didn't want to walk away from a well-paid position.

"A bet is a bet. You lost and you leave."

Avery's eyes were icy.

"I lost, but I have contributed so much to the company before. I'm still useful to you."

"My dad mentioned you last night.

He wanted to play chess with youet tend. Avery, for my for's

this

sake, let me stay, will you?" S

"I'll make peace with Serena and work very hard."

Her voice was breaking.

She knelt down and tugged at the bottom of his trousers' leg.

Many people gathered around them. е and some started speaking for Amy. "President, Amy did so much for the company. She deserves a second chance."

"Serena, don't be so hard on Amy."

They didn't know what Amy had done behind the scenes. It looked like Avery was abandoning Amy because of Serena.

Tacit rumors got them to believe that Amy and Avery had been in a relationship.

So in their eyes, Serena was the other woman, hellbent on driving Amy away.

Invoking sympathy was Amy's last-ditch attempt.

Dumping her would make Avery an ingrate.

As the president of the company, he had a reputation to uphold.
