CHAPTER 56

• Ava made her way through the crowd of people, her fake smile plastered on her face as she tried to navigate through the sea of congratulations. She couldn't believe that Andrew had proposed to her in front of her entire staff and had even invited the media to cover the event live. She felt humiliated and embarrassed, but she knew she had to play along for the sake of appearances.
• As she tried to make her escape, Andrew rushed over to stop her, his eyes filled with confusion and concern. "Ava, where are you going? Why are you leaving the party I organised for us?"
• Ava forced a laugh and shrugged her shoulders, trying to play it off as if it were nothing. "I'm just a little tired, that's all. I think I need to go home and rest."
