Vampire Lover novel Chapter 7

Lothar Group, Avril's workplace, was the top public listed company in Country M.

The car stopped outside the building. Avril hung her handbag on her shoulder and was about to get out of the car.

"I'll walk you in," Haider said, interrupting whatever Avril was about to say.

Avril swallowed back her words of gratitude and nodded slowly.

He had sent her all the way here. Wouldn't it seem rude if she refused him?

The two of them walked side by side into the lobby. The receptionist heard the sounds of someone approaching, so she raised her head to take a look. Her eyes widened in shock when she noticed the man next to Avril, and she hastily stood up straight.

"Pr-President!"

"President? The new president?" Avril wondered.

Avril looked at the receptionist with puzzled eyes. She then turned her head and looked around. "Why don't I see any new faces?" she thought.

"Good afternoon, Nancy." Avril greeted her with a smile before she headed to the elevator.

The look on Nancy Oswald's face became stranger. She was trembling, pointing at Avril, not uttering a word.

"Avril!" Lina yelled as she ran to Avril from afar. "You' re finally here! I just heard that the new president is arriving soon. You should hurry up... Hey, you brought a friend?"

Lina turned to look at the handsome man next to Avril, and then her eyes widened in shock. "President...Mr. Evans!" She exclaimed.

Lina was famous for having an exceptionally loud voice in the company. Hence, when she exclaimed like that, everyone in the lobby could hear her.

Avril looked at Lina in confusion. She then looked at Haider. It took her a while to put the pieces together.

The president was... Haider Evans Ventrue?

"So, I just become the wife of my immediate superior?" Avril drew a jaw-dropping conclusion.

If it were still the day before, this coincidence would be something she would never dare imagine!

"Oh Avril, why do you look so down? Even if you've been dumped by a man, shouldn't you keep your emotions under control? What if your negativity affects your colleagues at work?" Angie's voice came from behind her.

Avril frowned but she did not raise her head. "Where did this wild dog come from? Barking like a mad dog! Such a nuisance!"

Angie angrily slammed her hand on the table in front of her. She was wearing a new diamond ring on her middle finger.

"Avril, stop being so shameless!" Angie looked at her with disgust. "You could not keep your own man in check, so you just keep scolding others to vent your anger? My God, save it, just go home and think about why you can’t keep a man!"

Avril felt a wave of pent-up anger rushing right into her chest, causing her heart to ache. "How could Angie be so shameless? As a mistress, she is bossing around and accusing me. But I'm the victim! My life was completely ruined! Does she really think that I am such a pushover?¹' She couldn't help yelling in her heart.
