Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304: Chapter 304 Held by Friendship

Ava’s POV

My hands were shaking as I held the card, anger making my whole body tremble. I couldn’t stand that disgusting man.

Rose happened to be passing by my desk. She was the company’s cleaning lady, but had worked at Storm Valley Pack and Thorne Enterprises for many years. She was a kind old woman who was good to everyone and especially skilled at making calming tea.

I called out to her.

"Rose, please throw these flowers away," I said, my voice trembling.

She looked at me confused.

"Ava, what’s wrong with you? Turning down flowers? That’s not like you." Kyle was about to leave the office when she witnessed my request. She was a very perceptive and observant woman.

"I don’t care who sent them, Kyle," I said without thinking.

"Wait, who did send them? I know it definitely wasn’t Joseph. If he sent flowers, they’d be those cheesy red roses." Kyle frowned and walked over.

"No, not Joseph," I answered simply, but the card was right there on the desk, and Kyle was quicker than me, snatching it up.

After reading it, her face turned ugly. "Is that creepy old bastard stalking you, Ava?" Kyle asked seriously.

"He’s just a disgusting asshole, Kyle," I said through gritted teeth.

"I completely agree," Rose said seriously, having also seen the card. "I’ll get rid of this nasty thing right away."

Rose had just picked up the flowers to leave when my phone rang. I didn’t recognize the number, but I was shaking so badly I could barely hold the phone, so I put it on speaker.

"Good afternoon, Ava! This is Alpha Steward." I took a deep breath, feeling my stomach churn.

"How did you get my phone number?" I asked, feeling Kyle and Rose’s eyes focused on me.

"Darling, I have many friends!" Alpha Steward replied smugly.

"Don’t call me darling. In fact, don’t call me at all." I was about to hang up, but what he said next left me stunned.

"Oh, don’t be so cold! Since my son dumped you, you should try a more experienced man."

I was completely shocked. Kyle grabbed the phone directly from the desk.

"Listen up, Alpha Steward, I’m Kyle, you know damn well who I am, so don’t play dumb. Stay away from Ava! Otherwise I’ll make sure your good times are over for good. I have that power, and you know it." Kyle threatened the person on the other end, then hung up harshly, looking at me seriously. "Ava, we’re going to the break room for a proper chat. This isn’t a request."

Damn! How was I supposed to explain this to her? I got up and followed Kyle, Rose following us too, handing the orchids to a passing colleague to throw away.

"I’m joining this conversation too," Rose said, pouring each of us a cup of her special calming tea.

"First, Ava, tell me what the hell happened between you and Joseph," Kyle asked straight to the point.

I couldn’t hold it together anymore and started crying, all the tension and overwhelming sadness I’d been holding in all day bursting out. Then I told her everything about Joseph from the past few days, including the scene where I caught him with another woman, and finally begged Kyle not to tell anyone.

"What a goddamn mess!" Kyle sighed. "The worst part is, I’ve become the keeper of all the girls’ secrets. Caroline’s pregnancy can’t be known by anyone, and now there’s this Joseph bullshit." Kyle shook her head, looking at me. "How long has that old pervert been chasing you?"

I told him the whole story.

"What? How was she there? She’s always been all over my uncle..."

"She was only wearing his shirt, Antonio," I cut the boy off, getting straight to the point.

"What a fucking asshole!" Antonio cursed.

"Watch your language, young man!" I warned, but he just laughed.

"Ava, how are you doing?"

"Terrible. I’m heartbroken and feel like the stupidest woman in the world. But Antonio, don’t tell anyone about this. Alpha Draven is dealing with some serious shit right now, and I don’t want our friends worrying about your uncle’s mess." I insisted.

"Yeah, I know about Alpha Draven’s situation," Antonio shook his head. "But what’s up with these guys who can’t keep it in their pants?" Antonio said indignantly, which made me burst out laughing.

"Learn from this, don’t be stupid like them!" I said, laughing.

"I definitely won’t. But Ava, I have to tell my mom. She’s furious with my uncle, especially after hearing all that crap from that spoiled brat Sophia."

"Fine," I sighed. "Just make sure she doesn’t tell anyone else."

Having coffee with him was really nice. When we said goodbye, he promised me that I’d always be his friend and that we’d still hang out often. That really comforted me.
