Ava thought about it and decided to talk to Sam. Whether he will be with Erika or not, Ava didn't want him to have her in his heart that won't be fair to Erika or any other woman he will end up with.
However, why did Oliver say that Sam was dangerous and characterless in front of Erika? When it comes to Sam's character, Ava could guarantee that he was a kind and nice person. So that made her wonder if Sam and Oliver knew each other from before but they had no business together, one of them was a businessman and the other was a school teacher, they had no reason to have any contact with each other.
"I think he's very pleasant. He looks so smart and kind, around him I feel very lively. He's a math teacher in Beijing No. 4 High School." Erika kept talking.
Erika was a very simple and genuine person. As she felt comfortable talking to Ava so she kept talking about Sam. She felt very happy to talk about him and found endless topics.
"That's amazing." Ava smiled and said appreciatively and pretended to hear it for the first time.
"Yes, I asked him to go to the water park with us this Saturday, but he refused. Maybe he is just shy, He is so gentle, the more I know him the more I like him."
Ava breathed a sigh of relief hearing Sam refused to go to the water park, otherwise, it would be a very awkward situation there with Sam, Oliver, Her, and Erika. Ava already guessed that Sam knew that Erika was Oliver's cousin and probably that's why he refused to go.
"Rika..." Ava bit her lips, interrupting Erika's conversation about Sam.
Erika looked at Ava and suddenly realized she has been babbling for a while about Sam, so she felt a little embarrassed and asked earnestly, "Yeah? What is it? "
"You know Kiara, right? Can you tell me something about her?" Ava said hesitating, she was very uncomfortable in her heart about today's incident. Although she decided not to ask anyone about Oliver's personal matter but she thought it was ok to ask Erica about Kiara.
Erika was stunned at first hearing Ava's question, then she said with a smile: "Av's, please tell me you are not worried about that woman. If you are then don't, Oliver never liked her like that. They grew up together, if he was into her then they would have already been together."
Erika's words calm Ava's mind a little which has been restless for a while. She thought what Erika said made sense, if he was interested in Kiara then why would Oliver chase her and ask her out instead of Kiara.
"What is her relationship with Oliver?" Ava asked a little worried as if she was a little afraid to know the answer.
Erika gently patted on Ava's shoulder and said with a smile, "Just friends. At least that's how Oliver sees that woman. Although she has been chasing him for many years but Oliver has always been refusing her. It was only you after all these years who could enter Oliver's heart."
"Really?" Although Ava was overjoyed hearing that but she still asked uncertainly as if as long as Oliver didn't reassure her, her heart would be itchy.
"I swear. There is absolutely no chance for her to be with my cousin. Besides if anything like that ever happens then I will be the first one to oppose them!" Erika said sincerely.
Ava chuckled, "Why do you hate her so much?"
Erika rolled her eyes and said with disdain: "I have never liked her. She is so arrogant and proud, she never cares about other's feelings and would take anything for granted. She thinks she can buy everything with money and this attitude disgusts me."
"It's probably because of her family background. After all, she is one of the rich second generations." Ava smiled, her eyes were gentle and clear, just like her smile.
Erika pursed her lips, but there was a smile in her eyes. She looked at Ava and said: "Av's, you must be thinking that Kiara was born noble. Let me tell you, she is not. The woman Kiara calls mother now is actually her stepmother. Many years ago, her father had an affair with this woman. Later this woman forced her mother to commit suicide and afterward got married to Uncle Mark. So the Anderson family situation is a bit complex than you really think."
"In that case, Kiara is very pitiful," Ava said in a soft tone that was full of sympathy.
"You don't have to sympathize with her, she is not that simple and definitely not worthy of your sympathy. In fact, she is a double-faced shameless woman." Erika said coldly.
"Maybe you are right," Ava said in a whisper.
She suddenly remembered the day Sarah was kidnapped and the way Kiara threatened her, she could tell that she was not simple and innocent at all.
It was another night, Ava and Erika chatted with each other till dawn. In the morning, a warm sunlight sprinkles on the floor of the guest room through the heavy curtain and Ava opened her heavy eyelids. Erika was sleeping soundly beside her, she silently got out of the bed, covered Erika with the blanket, and went back to her bedroom.
In the bedroom, Oliver was already up and was getting fresh in the bathroom. Ava entered Oliver's walk-in closet to get clothes for Oliver to wear for today. She chose a baby blue shirt and a black cropped suit pants then she went to her closet and picked up a light gray lace dress for herself.
It has become Ava's regular routine and she seems used to this kind of life. Ava was not very particular about her clothes, anything that was comfortable and pleasing to the eyes would work for her. However, the clothes Oliver got for her were very exclusive and fitted her perfectly, she loved each one of them.
"Why didn't you sleep a little longer?" Oliver walked out of the restroom and saw Ava was sitting on the bed with a smile. He could not help but smile looking at her.
"Well, it's all your fault. I am so used to sleeping by your side that I couldn't sleep without you." Ava said grumbling and threw herself in Oliver's strong arms.
Oliver gently smiled and hugged her tightly smelling Ava's body fragrance greedily. Without realizing Ava was rubbing her soft body against him which suddenly turned him on.
"Honey, you smell so good, I want to eat you," Oliver said breathing heavily.
"CEO Knight, we have to go to work, if we got into that now then we both will be late." Ava could see Oliver's eyes were cloudy with need.
"It's still early, we can do a quick one," Oliver said with a raised eyebrow and evil smile on his face. He took a step forward which made Ava take a step back toward the bed.
"But Erika is next door," Ava said shyly with a red face. She knew how loud things get sometimes and she would die with embarrassment if Erika heard them.
"That girl wouldn't wake up until ten o'clock. Besides, we can keep it quiet." Saying that he leaned forward and started to kiss Ava's soft lips without giving her any chance to refuse. He seems to be addicted to her soft lips, he just couldn't stop kissing her.
