Chapter 114 Go Inside

Ava hadn’t realized there was that much manipulation behind his rise in the industry. No wonder no one ever and Ethan were brothers. They didn’t look much alike. And even with the same last name, Brock, people nose unless they already knew.

“You don’t have to quit for me. I’m not asking anyone to drop their career for my sake. That’s just dumb, no matter just need time to level up. Right now, I’m still too weak, and I can’t stand people thinking I’m some helpless girl clinging Ava said with a spark in her eyes. “I want something equal-a real partnership. We’ll rise together!”

“Well, look at you two. Couldn’t have picked a colder d*mn spot, huh?” Mason’s voice came from behind them.

Ava turned and saw Mason and Keith standing nearby. She didn’t even hear them come over.

“How’d you even find us out here?” she asked, caught off guard. She thought they were still stuck in the crowd

“We asked Jane. She said you were with Ryan,” Keith replied, smiling easily as his eyes flicked to her jacket. “We looked around inside and didn’t see you anywhere. Figured you must’ve stepped out.”

“It’s freezing. You should head back in,” he added, calm as ever. “It’s your big night. Being gone too long doesn’t look great

Ryan gave him a look. “Who cares about those people? Ava doesn’t need to stand around kissing up to everyone. Jane and Asher are still inside. They can handle it.”

Ryan’s mood soured again. He’d barely gotten a moment alone with her, and now these two came barging in.

Mason stepped up and gently tucked a loose strand of hair behind Ava’s ear. “You couldn’t pick somewhere warm and private instead? What are you, Ryan, a toddler?”

His tone sharpened, and the look on his face wasn’t friendly. “Her hand’s like ice.”

He took Ava’s hand, cupped it in his own, and breathed against it. His warm breath hit her skin, and her heart pounded. The tension between them surged like a live wire.

“It wasn’t his idea,” Ava said softly. “I wanted to take a walk, and he just followed me out. We’ve only been here a couple of minutes. We were already heading back.”

Ryan’s frustration melted. That one sentence cleared out all the bitterness.

Keith reached out, ruffled her hair, and leaned in close to her ear. “I see. Then you’ll have to take my flowers too, Ava.

His breath brushed her skin, leaving a hot trail across her neck. Her ear turned red in an instant.

She really was a blusher.

Keith laughed under his breath. “If you don’t say no, I’ll take it as a yes. Gotta keep things fair”

What a smug b’stard, she thought.

Ava felt her last shred of composure slip right through her fingers.

Ryan scowled at Keith hanging off her like a leech. He hadn’t dared to get that close parler. But this guy Totally shameless. The world needed to see what kind of person Keith really was behind that fake saint act

Ryan finally lost it and yanked Keith away by the collar. “Get a grip, man. Stop acting like some horny dog” Keith didn’t come back in. He just brushed off his jacket. “Says the guy begging her to take his flowers”

“If you two hate each other that much, then go beat each other up.”

Mason slid his arm around Ava’s waist, ready to take her inside. She flinched and quickly pushed him away.

“I’ll walk myself. Don’t touch me.”

He paused. “Not even a quick hug?”

Ava looked disgusted. “Hands off.”

“Fine. I said I wouldn’t force you.” Mason stepped back.

“Don’t pull that crap out here in the open again!”

“Oh? So, it’s okay in private?” He smirked and leaned in like he was ready to push more.

Ava balled her hands into fists. Her cheeks flushed as she snapped, “Can you stop being gross for five seconds?!”

+5 Free Coins

She spun and stormed off. Then, she stopped, turned, marched back, shoved the jacket into Ryan’s arms, and stormed off again, this time jogging ahead, fuming.
