The face was thin and dark, with black-framed glasses perched on the nose. When she finally saw him, he flashed a wide white-toothed grin at Ava Sterling, his smile exceptionally bright. But he wasn’t aware of how terrifying and creepy such a smile was in this situation. Ava Sterling’s heart skipped a beat, and the next moment she slammed her foot on the accelerator, the car speeding away. Watching the pink sports car quickly disappear from sight, Silas Donovan felt quite despondent. Eric had said he would persuade Ava Sterling to agree to film and become his leading lady, but the condition was that he must not appear before Ava Sterling for the next month. Because Ava Sterling was injured and needed rest, and her bad temperament would definitely impact her recovery if she saw him. Eric said he didn’t want Ava Sterling to delay her recovery, right? Of course, he didn’t want that, so he agreed. But he couldn’t put his mind at ease without seeing her, even if it was just watching her from the car. Who would have thought, he just took a look, and the person disappeared quickly, as if he were a monstrous flood and ferocious beast. Was he really that frightening? He thought he was very cute, wasn’t he? Silas Donovan peevishly opened the mirror to look at his own face, clearly not scary at all. Ava Sterling drove fast, constantly checking the rearview mirror to see if any car was following. After confirming there was no car chasing behind, she felt relieved. However, soon her heart tightened again. Eric had said the matter was already resolved, and that person wouldn’t appear again, right? Get full chapters from NoveI~Fire.net Why did he appear again after just one day? Ava Sterling’s face darkened. She thought it necessary to make another call to Eric to find out what exactly was going on. If this person appeared again, she wouldn’t train those new models, instead staying at Greenhill Villa every day. She had the urge to call Eric while driving, but suppressed it for the moment. Besides, this matter wasn’t very crucial right now, at least not as important as her recovery plan. Once she sorted out that person, then she would deal with this issue, followed by Jace Kingsley’s side. Look at me, with so many things, I’m wondering how I’m not sick or injured—completely normal. Just like going to work. Thinking this, Ava Sterling pressed the accelerator down further, speeding towards Celestial Holdings. Within half an hour, the pink sports car screeched to a stop at the parking area opposite Celestial Holdings. Ava Sterling got out, grabbed her car keys and bag, and strutted into Celestial Holdings in her high heels. The receptionists were the same two as before, but with Poe Vaughn’s gloomy aura today, they didn’t dare make the slightest mistake and were very nervous indeed. And just recently, during a break to the restroom, they’d learned through the company group that the higher-ups were in trouble, with all sorts of issues found by the boss that needed rectifying one by one. And as the higher-ups suffered, their subordinates, the ordinary workers like them, suffered along too. Superior finds subordinates, subordinates find their subordinates, their subordinates find their subordinates’ subordinates, all the way down, all crying out, none spared. So now, the receptionists, and everyone in the company, were praying for Ava Sterling to come. Perhaps if Ava Sterling came, things would be different. The two receptionists stood there, heads held high, stomachs in, smiles on their faces, displaying their most professional spirit ever, watching carefully the people entering the company. And when the person outside, walking briskly in high heels and carrying a white bag, fell into their view, their smiles cracked, then excitement and tears immediately filled their eyes. Supermodel Sterling was here... Their Supermodel Sterling was here... The savior of the whole Celestial Holdings was here... Ava Sterling walked in quickly and steadily, every step landing on people’s hearts, extremely powerful and extremely good-looking. Her appearance changed the atmosphere within Celestial Holdings. The cold air enveloping the whole hall seemed to vanish in the blink of an eye. Ava Sterling didn’t notice any of this; she was focused on meeting Poe Vaughn quickly to make amends, ensuring he wouldn’t remain angry, otherwise how would her future plans proceed? So she missed the look of emotion and fascination in the receptionists’ eyes. Walking briskly, step by step, Ava Sterling entered the elevator. Soon, the elevator doors closed. The two receptionists, seeing Ava Sterling disappear from sight, finally reacted and hurriedly took out their phones to send messages. [Supermodel Sterling is here! Our savior is here!] [Here? Supermodel Sterling is here? No way?] [Really, really! Really here!] [We just saw Supermodel Sterling enter the elevator with our own eyes, you all wait, soon Supermodel Sterling will appear before you.] [Wow wow wow! Great! We’re finally saved!] [Cheer! Raise your arms and cheer!] The company chat at Celestial Holdings exploded, everyone relaxed, tears of excitement and joy in their eyes. But when Ava Sterling walked out of the elevator, she noticeably sensed a different atmosphere. It was so quiet, as if time here stood still and there wasn’t a single person. Ava Sterling thought, suddenly recalling the time she’d seen earlier; it’s noon now, so everyone must be at lunch, not at their desks. Realizing this, Ava Sterling didn’t think twice about it. Her steps carried on steadily forward. But as she rounded the corner towards Poe Vaughn’s office, the view of the workstation area startled Ava Sterling. Because this floor actually had people, not just a few, but many. People holding documents, or phones, or coffee cups, all working at their desks. However, they weren’t busy, not looking at their current work, but at her direction, at her. Especially when she appeared, all eyes lit up, all faces filled with excitement as if they’d seen the Northern Lights. Ava Sterling was baffled. What was going on? Why were they all showing these expressions? And why haven’t they gone to lunch yet, still here? Ava Sterling looked at their disorganized desks, which clearly told her one thing—they were busy, incredibly so. Ava Sterling thought about Quentin Quinn’s comments, how Poe Vaughn was in a bad mood; now she could confirm it wasn’t because of the morning’s events but issues within the company. Apparently, she came at a tough time. She must make it up sincerely. With that thought, Ava Sterling withdrew her gaze, her steps quickening. Must act swiftly, every minute counts! The secretary had already seen her coming; when she did, she swiftly opened the door for her. Ava Sterling said nothing, walked right in, didn’t pause at all. Just as quickly, the door to the CEO’s office closed. At that moment, the quiet on that floor exploded, as lively energy returned. Everyone slumped over their desks, relaxing. They were saved, could finally go have lunch... And now, in the CEO’s office.
