The Bento

Oliver drove Kiara to the nearby supermarket and Kiara brought some fresh vegetables, chicken, and pork for Oliver. She has always been carefully observing Oliver's preferences and kept them in her heart. The other women were interested in him because of his money so that they could enjoy a luxurious life. However Kiara didn't care about money, her family business was already very big and she was the only heir so naturally, she grew up with the money, she only cared about Oliver.

520 Haibin Road, Oliver's Villa.

Ava walked into the luxurious villa. Although it felt like home to her now but as Oliver was not there she felt empty in her heart. She was used to having Oliver around all the time.

Ava slowly went to the kitchen and saw Mrs. Lee was busy preparing dinner for them. Mrs. Lee didn't know that Oliver wouldn't come home for dinner so she was making a lot of dishes for two people.

Ava leaned on the door frame and asked with a smile, "What are you cooking today Mrs. Lee?"

"Chicken wings with coke, hot and sour potato shreds, braised sweet and sour fish..." Mrs. Lee enthusiastically gave her a long list of dishes that she and Oliver like to eat.

Ava was stunned for a moment then she suddenly realized that Oliver and her taste in food were very similar. Here many people like to eat steamed seafood, but she wasn't keen on steamed seafood and so was Oliver. They both liked to eat braised and less spicy seafood.

Ava lowered her eyes and a thought came into her mind, "Mrs. Lee, Oliver wouldn't be able to come home for dinner tonight. He is busy at work. Let me help you cook today, I want to make a bento for Oliver and take it to him at the company."

Ava knew Oliver could eat whatever he wanted at the company, but she just wanted to see him, she missed him. So if she took dinner for him she will get to see him. Even if he was busy, she will just sit there and wait for him to finish his work. At that thought, a smile appeared on Ava's beautiful face.

"Miss Green, you're very thoughtful." Mrs. Lee smiled and praised Ava. She was very happy thinking Ava really loved Oliver very much. Love always makes a person considerate toward others.

After preparing the food Ava took out two warm Bento boxes from the cabinet and put the food in the box gently.

Mrs. Lee saw that and asked with a smile, "Miss Green, will you be having dinner with Mr. Knight at the company?"

"Yes, Oliver probably hasn't had dinner yet, I should go there quickly," Ava said with a warm smile as she packed the food.

Ava drove in her own car. All the way, she was humming a song, she was in a good mood. She never went to Oliver's office to see him unless he asked her to, so she was wondering if Oliver would be surprised to see her.

KNIGHT International.

As Ava came to the company several times, the company's security guards were all familiar with her, so they didn't stop her to get inside. Ava went directly to the top floor of the company, carrying the bento box. At the thought of meeting Oliver, she couldn't contain her excitement. She walked out of the elevator with a smile on her lips.

In the secretary's office, three secretaries were busy working. Ava walked to Sophia's desk with a smile and asked, "Miss Sophia, is Oliver in there?"

Sophia looked up and saw that it was Ava, she quickly stood up and greeted her politely. "Hello, Miss Green, CEO Knight... He's not here." Sophia was very surprised to see Ava so it took a while for her to compose herself.

"Wasn't he busy at the company?" Ava asked confused. That's what Oliver told her in the text that he will be working late at the company.

"Well.. yes.. yes... Mr. Knight was working here just now, but he received a phone call and went out." Sophia said nervously. She was afraid Ava might see through her lies.

Ava looked at the woman in front of her and she had a feeling that she was lying to her but she didn't expose or charge her, instead, she changed the topics and said gently with a smile, "Miss Sophia, you work really hard, it's so late."

"I'll be off soon."

"OK.. then I'll go back. Have a good evening."

"Have a good evening, Miss Green."

After Ava left, the other two secretaries began to talk about Ava and Oliver.

"Miss Green is so pitiful. She has only been with CEO Knight for a few days and he has already dumped her."

Another secretary said, "That's because she couldn't match with our CEO. Who could blame her?"

"I think Miss Anderson is quite suitable. Have you seen when she and CEO Knight come out of the office together after work today, They looked like a perfect match in every way."

"Yes, I think Miss Anderson's temperament is very good. She is very suitable for CEO Knight. And she even stayed the whole afternoon in the CEO's office. What do you think they did in there?"

Sophia frowned and said impatiently, "OK, close your mouth and do your job. Have you forgotten where you are? This is KNIGHT International, here you have to be careful about what you say, or you won't have a job tomorrow."

The two secretaries covered their mouths with their hands, looked at each other, and continued to work. What they didn't know was that someone was listening to their whole conversation from the door.

Ava slowly walked back to her car and drove to the Bohai Seawater bay. It was evening so the wind outside was a bit cold, Ava opened the window and let the wind blow on her face.

So Oliver lied to her and he was not working at the company. Ava didn't want to ask Oliver anything so she decided to keep it to herself. Even if she asked, he wouldn't tell her the truth. Ava felt very lost at that moment, she walked along the long wooden path of Bohai Bay for a long time. It was very quiet here, there were only a few people around. It's far away from the noise of the city so Ava liked it here. Every time Ava was in a bad mood, she would come here and walk or sit here for hours. Looking at the sea for some reason her restless mind would always calm down.
