The Billionaire's Heir I Never Knew Was Mine novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138: Are You Dating Someone?

Ava froze in her place.

’Wait...Wait...’ Her head slowly turned toward Riley. ’Did Riley just call Zoey Sterling... Aunty?’

Still confused, trying to absorb what she had just heard, Riley spoke again—

"Aunty Zoey, please tell me... who helps her?" Riley repeated impatiently.

Instead of answering her, Zoey casually patted Riley’s shoulder and said, "Alright, young man, you may go now."

Then Zoey turned around and calmly walked back toward her desk.

"I’m busy," she adds without looking at him, "Don’t disturb me."

Riley frowned, clearly wanting to continue questioning her. But before he could speak, Ava suddenly grabbed his wrist.

"Let’s get out of here, Riley..." She dragged him out of the office.

The moment they reached the elevator area, Ava turned sharply toward Riley.

"Riley."

"Yes?" He asked, cautiously.

"Did you forget to explain something to me?"

"Explain what?"

Ava stared directly into his eyes, trying to give him time to prepare.

After a few more seconds, she finally asked, "Why did you call Zoey Sterling ’aunty’?"

Instantly, the air around them grew awkwardly silent.

For the first time since meeting him, Riley looked genuinely speechless.

"Oh, good," she said with a dry chuckle. "It seems my funny best friend Riley has finally run out of jokes."

Riley cleared his throat awkwardly.

"Well—" He smiled suspiciously.

"Well?" Ava repeated.

Then, without warning, Riley pulled out his phone.

"Ava, let’s call Sienna. We need to make sure she is alright."

Ava stared at him, speechless.

"Riley, are you trying to change the subject?"

"No," He replied quickly while pretending to focus intensely on his phone screen. "I’m trying to save our best friend."

She tried to say something, but the elevator doors opened just enough to distract her.

Taking another deep breath, Ava narrowed her eyes at Riley, who was trying to reach Sienna.

’Sienna, please, please answer your phone...’ she prays.

...

At Orchid Garden Apartment.

The car slowly came to a stop in front of the main entrance.

The moment the car came to a complete stop, Sienna immediately reached for the door handle, ready to get out before she stole any more of Zachary’s time. He had already done too much for her today.

Unfortunately, he stopped her before she could escape.

"Are you sure you don’t want me to walk you upstairs?"

His calm voice carried clear concern, and when Sienna turned to look at him, she found his eyes fixed entirely on her.

She quickly shook her head.

Besides... this man was not just Zach, but he is Zachary Sterling. A man whose schedule is probably eyeballed by every assistant, manager, and investor in the country daily.

"Hmm. I’m really fine..." she said with a small smile, trying her best to reassure him.

But judging from his expression, he clearly did not believe her. He remained silent for a moment, simply watching her.
