Love In Between

As Ava and Andrew’s relationship deepened, they went on several more dates and started to spend more time together. They went on romantic dinners, attended parties and events together, and even took a weekend trip to the coast.

During these dates and events, Ava found herself opening up to Andrew and sharing things about herself that she had never shared with anyone else. He listened attentively and was always there to support her.

Andrew also opened up to Ava and shared his own experiences and struggles. Ava found that they had a lot in common and that they understood each other in a way that others couldn’t.

As they spent more time together, Ava started to realize that she had developed feelings for Andrew. He was kind, understanding, and always there for her. She found herself looking forward to their dates and couldn’t wait to see him again.

Their relationship started to change from just a professional one to something more. Andrew started to become more than a friend to her, and she started to like him more. They were getting to know each other better and she was starting to fall for him.

As Ava and Andrew’s relationship continued to deepen, Ava found that he was becoming increasingly obsessed with her. He always wanted to be with her, and he seemed to be jealous of any other men in her life. This made Ava feel special, as he was always attentive and affectionate towards her.

However, there were instances that unnerved her. Andrew was cold towards her daughter and it made her feel uncomfortable. He didn’t seem to be interested in getting to know her child and would avoid any conversation or interaction with her. Ava thought that it was strange but didn’t think much of it.

Another instance was when Andrew would get angry if Ava talked about her ex-boyfriend Bruce. He would get upset and change the subject, and she knew that he didn’t want to hear about him. Ava thought that it was just his way of showing that he cares about her.

Lastly, when Ava talked about her company and her job, Andrew seemed uninterested and would change the subject. Ava found it strange but didn’t think much of it, as she was too busy thinking about how he felt about her.

These small instances made Ava feel uncomfortable but she didn’t want to ruin the relationship by bringing it up, She thought that it was just minor issues and that they could be worked on later. She didn’t want to lose him because he made her feel special and loved.

After the lunch date with Andrew, where he had proved to be demanding and obnoxious, Ava went home feeling drained and exhausted. She knew that she had to be at work soon for a meeting with the production team, and she knew that she needed to rest.

She walked into her house, kicked off her shoes and collapsed on her bed. She closed her eyes and allowed herself to drift off for a few hours. She needed to recharge, the date had been draining and she needed to clear her head.

When she woke up, she felt a little better. She dragged herself out of bed, and made her way to the bathroom for a bath. She needed to refresh herself before heading to work. She turned on the faucet and let the water fill the tub, she added some bubbles and oils, to make the water more relaxing.

After a relaxing bath, she got out, dried herself and went to her wardrobe. She picked out a formal dress, it was a navy blue color and it had a high neckline and long sleeves. The dress was made of a silk material and it hugged her curves in all the right places. It had a small slit at the back of the dress that showed a hint of skin. She paired the dress with black heels and a simple clutch.

She was feeling a little better and was ready to face the day. She was determined to not let Andrew’s behavior affect her and she was ready to tackle her meeting with the production team with full focus.

Ava arrived at the meeting with her production team feeling refreshed and focused. She greeted them and sat down at the head of the conference table. The meeting arena was a large conference room with a long table in the center. It was dimly lit and had large windows that let in natural light. The walls were painted white, and there were several paintings hanging on the walls. The room was equipped with a projector and a large screen, as well as a whiteboard and several flip charts.

As the meeting began, Ava’s team informed her that Mason had made a deal with CT wines concerning ordering exotic grapes from Italy and the company was demanding that Quinns company follow up with the deal and finalize the deal that evening. Ava was taken aback, and she couldn’t believe that Mason had made such a deal without consulting her. She felt anger rising inside her, Mason had always been a problem, but this was taking it too far.

The team discussed the details of the deal, and Ava listened carefully, asking questions and taking notes.

“Mason assured CT wines that we would have the grapes ready by next month. He made a promise that we may not be able to keep.” Lucia intoned, flipping through her chart, barely glancing.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“We’ll make sure we can keep that promise. I want to know the details of the deal and what we need to do to make sure it’s done right. Let’s go over it again.”

“We’ll need to order the grapes right away and have them shipped here as soon as possible. We’ll also need to make sure that they’re of the highest quality, as per the agreement with CT wines.” Lia chipped in.

“I’ll make sure that the order is placed and that we have a plan in place to ensure quality control. I’ll also speak to Mason and make sure that he understands that this is a team effort and that we need to work together.” Ava responded.

“What about the cost? We’ll need to make sure that we’re not losing money on this deal.”

“I understand that. I’ll work with the finance team to make sure that we’re not overspending. We’ll also need to make sure that we’re getting a fair price for the grapes. I want to make sure that this deal is beneficial for our company.”

“We’ll do our best to make sure that everything is done correctly, Ava. We know that this is a big opportunity for us and we’ll make sure that we take it.”

“I know we will. We’ll work together and make sure that this deal is a success. We’re a team, and we’ll make sure that we come out on top.”

She knew that this was an opportunity to showcase her company’s capabilities and she wanted to make sure that they were prepared. She knew that the deal had to be done, but she also wanted to make sure that it was done on her terms.

Ava was determined to not let Mason’s actions ruin her company. She was determined to not let Mason’s betrayal take away from the progress she had made. She was determined to not let Mason’s actions affect her company’s reputation and the trust of their clients. She was determined to make sure that the deal was done in the best interest of her company, and not just for the sake of meeting Mason’s demands.

With that, the meeting ended, and Ava’s team went to work on finalizing the deal. Ava knew that it would be a lot of work, but she was determined to make sure that her company came out on top. She knew that this was a big opportunity for them, and she was determined to make sure that they made the most of it.
