Argument between Oliver & Daniel

Daniel took all his time to pick the flowers from Ava's head, he was enjoying the closeness very much. They were so close that he could smell Ava's body fragrance and didn't want to let go.

"Brother Daniel, Is it done?" Ava was feeling very uncomfortable being this close to Daniel.

Daniel stopped at looked at Ava, he thought she was nervous being this close to a man. He smiled and asked softly, "Ava, why are you so nervous?" Saying that Daniel pulled her and took her in his arm, he wanted to hug her tightly.

"Brother Daniel, what are you doing?" Ava was a bit stunned and hurriedly tried to pull back.

Suddenly she felt someone's cold eyes on her, she looked around and sure enough, Oliver was staring at them with cold eyes from the bottom of the staircase. Ava's face turned pale seeing Oliver's indifferent face, she knew he must have misunderstood the situation here. Although she didn't do anything wrong but she still felt guilty.

Daniel saw Ava was staring at the staircase he followed her gaze and saw Oliver who was now walking toward them. He let go of Ava but still held her waist. Daniel had no idea that Ava was Oliver's girlfriend, so he stood there as if Ava was his girlfriend.

Oliver walked at a steady pace expressionlessly. But when he came closer to them Ava could see that his jaw was ticking as if he was holding his anger with great effort.

"Ava, how do you know this bastard?" Oliver stood in front of Ava but he was staring at Daniel then he pulled Ava fiercely toward him without even caring if he was hurting her.

Daniel reacted and let go of Ava, afraid that he would hurt her. He was stunned for a moment when Oliver asked that question to Ava. Oliver and Ava knew each other? Although he was very unhappy with the way Oliver addressed him but he was used to that since he was a child.

Ava was also surprised at Oliver's hostility toward Daniel. Oliver was not a mean person. He never spoke ill of anyone, unless he hated or disliked someone very much. So she could tell that they not only knew each other but also, the relationship between the two was not good at all.

"Oliver, it's not what you think. He is the senior and the son of my piano teacher, that I mentioned the other day to you." Ava quickly explained but she felt like he didn't even listen to what she had just said. She stared at him and saw every second Oliver's face was getting even more darker.

"You don't have to explain. Of course, I know. Ava, stay away from this man from now on." Oliver finally looked at Ava and his bloodthirsty eyes were full of warnings.

Ava blinked and lowered her eyes feeling helpless, she really didn't do anything wrong, Daniel was just removing flowers from her hair. Why Oliver was reacting like that? Although she was very hurt and angry, but she didn't want to argue with him in front of Daniel so she kept quiet.

Daniel got very upset seeing the way Oliver was treating Ava. She was so delicate how can this evil man threaten her like this in front of him? Daniel subconsciously grabbed Ava's hand and said to her reassuringly, "Ava, you don't have to be afraid of him. I am here I will protect you."

Oliver was furious hearing that. He gave Daniel a mocking smile and said "You will protect her? Do you think I am cripple that I would have to rely on you to protect my girlfriend?"

Girlfriend? So his suspicion her right Ava was Oliver's girlfriend. Daniel felt defeated for a moment. 5 years ago it was Jacob for whom he couldn't ask her out and now it was Oliver, even a more strong opponent. Were Ava and his fate always meant to be doomed like this?

"Oliver. Don't think that you are rich and powerful so everyone should be scared of you. I am telling you I am not afraid of you at all. As for Ava, you said she is your girlfriend then don't you trust her at all? Even when you saw us together your first reaction was to doubt her." Daniel was a prosecutor so winning an argument with him was a bit difficult because he would always think and talk logically which makes people become nervous in front of him.

"That's my own business Daniel, you stay out of it. Why don't you look into your own problems rather than worrying about me and my girlfriend?" Oliver glared at Daniel. His whole body was excluding a murderous aura.

Ava's heart sank, she hasn't seen Oliver this angry for a long time. She kept looking back and forth and wondered what was the feud between these two that they looked like they wanted to kill each other?

Daniel started at Oliver but didn't say anything else. It didn't make sense to him, he once investigated Oliver and found out that his first girlfriend was Melody. If that's the case then it was less likely that Oliver would fall in love with his ex-girlfriend's best friend. That's kind of messy so Daniel assumed Oliver had a purpose to be close to Ava and he was determined to find that out.

The atmosphere became very tense around them however the invitation bell to gather around the auditorium saved them.

Oliver gave a last glance at Daniel and said to Ava, "Let's go. The program is about to start."

It was nine o'clock sharp in the morning and the anniversary program was about to begin.
