A Lifetime With You

Chapter 142

She quietly looked at Damien, who was sitting in the distance. He had been surrounded by the crowd to toast just now. However, he was gone in the blink of an eye. She felt gloomy, and she didn’t feel like socializing with her colleagues anymore. Instead, she walked alone to a corner and sobered herself up. The night wind which blew in from the mountains was chilly. Ava was wearing a flimsy shirt, and it made her shiver incessantly when the cold breeze gusted through her.

Suddenly, she felt a weight on her shoulders, and soon saw a thick beige coat fell on her body. The coat still had the remains of warmth. She turned around and saw Damien. “Why are you here?” Ava hurriedly took off the coat and returned it to him. Her colleagues would gossip about her if they were to notice this scene. He tapped her shoulder and assured, “They’re all drinking beer over there, so no one’s gonna come.” Probably because of his drunken state, his face was also flushing red. His eyes were dark and bright, just like the vast stars in the night sky behind him. Suddenly, she was bedazzled by his astounding appearance. “I want to show you something.” He suddenly grabbed her hand and led her to the side. Some astronomy fanatic had brought over a telescope and situated it at the edge of the mountain. The mountain edge was the most suitable place to observe stars and universes.

Damien lowered his back and adjusted the telescope. Then he motioned for her to come over.

Ava went over with doubt, she didn’t know what he was trying to do. Then, she followed his instructions and stood in front of the telescope. She could see an entire galaxy of stars through the lens. The vast universe was at its grand and spectacular view. “Shift to your left a little. Do you see that?” “What am I supposed to see?” “The nebula over there is a Sagittarius. I bought an asteroid and named it after you. However, there are millions of them, and you probably can’t recognize yours. Just simply look will do.” “What?” Shocked, Ava immediately raised her head. However, she accidentally hit on his jaw while doing so. Unexpectedly, he was holding her shoulder from behind in such an intimate posture… She was a little shy. Damien smiled and told her, “Didn’t you ask me to pick a star for you from the sky?C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Since it’s too difficult to do so. Let’s hang it up in the sky.” She was stunned. She really did say those words to him while he stopped by her house the other day.

But that was just a thing she simply made up. It was obviously an outrageous wish to ask for! But he really did it. “You have no better place to spend your money, aren’t you?” Ava nagged. “You don’t like it?” “Even if I like it, I can’t move to that planet!” She wasn’t delighted at all, and Damien was a little disappointed at her response. She ought to know that he had put in a lot of effort to make it happen. “I was willing to pick the stars for you, but it turns out that I’m just not good enough.” His words made her heart jolted. She instinctively wanted to break free from his embrace, but he resisted it. Eventually, Ava gave up and sighed helplessly, “Damien, are you not going to let me go?” “It was you who provoked me first. So, why should I?”

She looked into his eyes. The night was dark, and she couldn’t seem to decipher his thoughts at all.

In her remnants of memories, everyone warned her that he was a bad guy who had hurt her numerous times.

But why was this bad guy so good to her? “Damien Radbury, just what kind of relationship do we have in the past?” “You once liked me. You loved me for many years.” / “I’ve liked you. Have you ever liked me?” “The word ‘like’ can’t accurately define my feelings for you.” He held her waist and bent over to kiss her. In contrast with his blunt and forceful manner, he was soft and gentle this time. It seemed that she could push him away easily.

Unexpectedly, she didn’t do so. Perhaps it was because that he had brought her to see the vast river of stars today, or maybe it was owing to the good weather, or it was probably because she was a little drunk. In short, she was feeling dizzy and light-headed. He was sucking on every inch of her with his soft and tender lips, like a desperate person who almost ate her up. Suddenly, her mind went blank and she even forgot to resist. Soon, she wrapped her hands around his neck. This feeling was very familiar as if her hands were meant to be placed at that position. His cool aura enveloped her until she was

completely out of breath. Suddenly, someone let out a cry of surprise from a distance. One of the employees of the Engineering Department drank too much and went out to the bathroom. Just then, he witnessed the scene unraveled before his eyes. He thought that he had mistaken, so he rubbed his eyes hard. Then, he rubbed it again.

In the darkness, he couldn’t get a glimpse of the woman. However, he caught sight of Damien’s tall and muscular figure, who was obviously holding a woman tightly in his arms and was kissing her. Ava immediately loosened her grip and pushed Damien away. Damien wanted to pull her in, but she quickly took off his coat on her. He chuckled. Then, he walked in the direction of the guy with the coat in his hand.

“Pre… President, I… I didn’t see anything!” Since Damien was in a pretty good mood, he didn’t care much about it and let the person go. The next day, when it was time to go back after the event ended, everyone was gossiping about how the President had hooked up with a female employee. Unfortunately, no one knew who the woman was. Meanwhile, the male colleague who had witnessed the scene was describing the encounter vividly. He said that the woman had a pair of slender legs, a slim waist, and dewy fair skin. However, he still couldn’t figure out her identity after so much talking. Ava was flustered and anxious upon hearing the gossips. Fortunately, they had guessed all the beautiful female employees in the entire company, but no one guessed her. After all, Luella had already told them about her having a child. Therefore, everyone was speculating about Damien’s chief secretary, Dempsey Bradley. “I knew it! Dempsey is young, pretty and capable. What’s more, she has been working by the President’s side for the longest. Who else could it be but her?” “Exactly! If it weren’t for their close relationship, how could the President trust Dempsey so much?” They were discussing loudly and unscrupulously during the bus ride. Meanwhile, Dempsey and Damien had already left the place in the newly repaired sports car. . Who else had a curvaceous figure and a pair of slender legs in the entire company except for Dempsey? Ava leaned against the window and listened to her colleagues’ heated discussion. She felt very uncomfortable.

Was it true that Dempsey and Damien had a close relationship? Although Ava knew that she was the woman from last night, she couldn’t help but be annoyed by their conversation.
