Chapter 7: Find that girl!
"Okay…and one more finishing touches." Julie said to her sister excitedly as she drew her last eye brow.
"Close your eyes." She ordered sweetly.
"Now I'm getting nervous to see how my face looks." Ava replied in the same spirit.
"I know right? Now turn…!" Julie said to her in excitement.
Ava turned with her eyes closed. Her sister, Julie asked her to open her eyes on the count of three. On the third count, Ava opened her eyes and screamed in joy. She was so happy to see how beautiful she looked.
"Oh my God this is beautiful…is this me?" Ava asked as she was stunned by her beauty.
"Of course sweetie…this is you."
"Wow…I look like a bride. This is so beautiful Julie…you're such a darling." Ava said with sweet smiles beaming on her radiant face that she didn't notice she had tears filled in her eyes.
"Oh no no no…please don't let those tears out otherwise they will ruin your beautiful face. Beautiful girls done cry remember? Now go and win Jason's heart and who knows, you might use this to your advantage, I mean…get a revenge on Jasper. Make him jealous and he'll feel like a looser for dumping you." Julie cajoled.
"Please don't talk about him. Don't ruin my day please." Ava pleaded with a sad look.
"I'm sorry…now let's get you dressed. What have you got?" Julie asked her sister as she went into her wardrobe to search for the perfect outfit. Julie couldn't find anything sexy in Ava's wardrobe. She went to get a dress which belonged to her and gave Ava to put on.
"But this is your dress. Are you sure I can put it on?" Ava asked her sister as she wasn't sure.
"Yes sure. Now start changing." Julie said to her and Ava changed into a perfect outfit.
After a few minutes, she was out of the bathroom. She was putting on a red wine short and fitted handless gown. Her curves were perfectly brought out with her hips filling every space of the gown. She wore a black sandal heel which brought out her elegant body and fitted in her straight legs. Julie's jaw dropped on seeing her.
"Wow! Wow! This is so perfect! You look so gorgeous." Julie complimented Ava as she smiled sweetly.
"Sir, Ann still haven't called. Are you sure you don't want to look elsewhere?" Eric asked Maxwell.
"Get any girl and let me sign this contract! How hard is it for you to understand?" Maxwell asked as he stamped his desk hardly. He was definitely angry now.
"I'm sorry sir. I'll be on the look." Eric apologized as he turned to go.
"One more thing. Find out everything about a lady called Ava Smith." Maxwell let the words flow out of his angry lips.
"Okay sir. Anything else about her to help me find her quickly?" Eric asked him.
"Did I just say something?" Maxwell asked Eric as he couldn't recall saying anything.
"You asked me to search for Ava Smith." Eric said to him.
"Forget it. Never mind." Maxwell replied back as he bent his head to focus on what was on his desk.
"But…"
"I said go!" Maxwell yelled at Eric who left quietly.
After Eric left the office, Maxwell hit his table so hard again. He was furious but not with anybody, he was angry with himself. Why couldn't he just take this girl out of his mind? Why was he drawn so much to her? He hit the table again in fury as he scattered the items, files, glass objects and other things on the table to the floor.
The sound of that made Eric rush into his office. He saw how angry Maxwell was. Of course he was used to his anger but this time, it was really worse and he could strangle anyone.
To avoid falling victim, Eric didn't ask what was wrong with him. Rather, he just quietly left the office. He needed him to calm down. After a few seconds, he came back in with a bottle of water. Maxwell grabbed it and gulped down the contents as if it would quench his anger.
When he had emptied all the contents, he squashed the bottle to an irregular shape, venting all his anger in his fist which got transferred to the innocent and poor bottle.
"Ava….!" He said furiously as he looked at the table but wasn't focused on anything.
"Who is she?" Eric asked.
Maxwell raised his head to look at Eric with bloodshot eyes. Eric got scared that he might be attacked but he was wrong.
"Find that girl and make sure she gets punished!" Maxwell ordered still in fury.
"Okay…but why, if I may ask? What did she do to you? Does this have to do with the company? I've never heard that name here before…" Eric gathered the courage to ask Maxwell.
"She doesn't work here! Find her and do as I said!" Maxwell ordered and with that, he got up and left the office.
Eric was confused. Who is this woman that is driving his boss crazy? The only thing that could connect Maxwell with a lady was purely business. He had no close relative that is a female…other than his aunt and her seven year old daughter but none of them beared that name, Ava or Smith.
Could he be having personal issues with this girl then? Eric thought of everything possible to get clues and also answer his questions. Maxwell went into his car. He grabbed his keys from the driver and drove himself. He was never allowed to drive when he was drunk or angry because he might loose control as that was the order given to the driver by the chairman.
Maxwell was sick and it seemed to be a terminal illness without a cure. He always had bad dreams about death even before he lost his family. After the death of his family, he felt shattered and continued seeing their dead faces in his dream which haunted him.
Many of his relatives rejected to take him in. They believed him to be the cause of their deaths and were scared he might bring his bad luck into their homes. Maxwell's hatred for them grew so much. His uncle took him in but that never stopped Maxwell from disliking everyone.
###### Wow....this left me in tears...I feel bad for Maxwell but same time, scared for Ava. If only she knows what's coming for her. #######
