Bad luck

Knight International.

Oliver walked into his room shouting out orders to his subordinates when his phone starts to ring. He just came out of a meeting after almost 2 hours, he pulled on his tie and sat down on his chair, and picked up the call.

"Hello, this is Henry Tang, Am I speaking to CEO Knight?" Henry called Oliver as soon as Daniel and Ava left his Bungalow. After all, it was about a lot of money so he needed to make sure no one was cheating him.

"Yes, it's me, Mr. Tang. What can I do for you?" Oliver said in his deep voice which sounded very serious and a bit intimidating.

"Mr. Knight, this morning Mr. Sherman and his wife came to see me about the land. They are offering a higher price to me for the land. Mr. Knight I don't mean to be an unethical person but you know my situation so I don't think I will be able to cooperate with what we had decided earlier. I hope you understand."

Oliver pursed his lips, the news that Daniel and Ava went to see Henry together was bothering him more than Daniel competing against him for the land. They are business rivals it's normal for Daniel to compete but Ava supporting him didn't sit well with him. He felt anger boil inside him. "So you are just going to back out now?"

"CEO Knights, please don't get me wrong, I didn't promise you anything and they are offering 2 million more than what you have promised. I am still saying the same thing, whoever offers the highest price will win the bidding." Henry said humbly because he didn't want to anger the business tycoon, but he was also ambitious, he was hoping Oliver would raise the price.

"That's interesting." Oliver hung up without saying anything else. He knew well this kind of greedy people. Whoever shows them more money, will become their loyal dog. Oliver hated these kinds of people. However that's not where his focus was at the moment, his thoughts were stuck on Ava. How dare she go with Daniel to negotiate a business deal? Looks like he needs to teach her a lesson.

Oliver picked up his phone and called his legal advisor and explained his married situation with Ava. The lawyer said he can file a lawsuit anytime he wanted. Since Ava is living with another man right now if Oliver didn't want to divorce her and filed a lawsuit for adultery, she will have only two choices, one to divorce Daniel and come back to him or she could go to prison for a minimum of 3 years.

Oliver was very satisfied with the possible outcome therefore he decided to pay a visit and inform her personally. If she still chose to be stubborn he will surely file the lawsuit and make her life a living hell. However, he didn't believe as a wise woman Ava would agree to go to prison for 3 years.

In the evening, the hot summer sunny sky suddenly turned dark and cloudy. There was no wind outside and the atmosphere was very hot which was an indication that a storm was coming. Not long after loud thunder could be heard everywhere and heavy rain started to fall.

Hope charity foundation.

Ava just finished her work at the foundation and came out when the heavy rain started to pour outside. Ava didn't drive at work as Daniel dropped her at the foundation now she didn't know how to get home. Ava stood there on the steps wondering what to do then decided to call for an uber. As she picked up the phone to order a uber her phone starts to ring. Ava stared at the familiar number but didn't receive the call. Instead, she opened the uber app. However, the moment her phone stopped ringing a car near her office started to honk its horn. Annoyed Ava looked up to see a familiar black Bugatti standing by the roadside. It was a common car many people used in this city so Ava didn't think much of it and turn to look at her phone to book an uber.

On the other side of the road, Oliver was seating in his black Bugatti, waiting for Ava to come down. The moment he saw her, he called her to let her know he was there, however that arrogant woman ignored his calls and stood there in the rain. Oliver's blood started to boil in anger as he started to honk but again that woman ignored him. Oliver was about to break down from rage, he starts to honk again continuously as he lowered the window revealing his cold face.

Ava looked up again to see who was the scoundrel that keep honking on the street only to see it was none other than the devil Oliver. Ava cursed inside and decided to ignore him and go inside, however, the moment she turned, she slipped and fell down twisting her ankle. Ava cursed herself thinking she had to sprain her ankle on the rare day she wore a high heel shoe. Ava was in pain, she start to rub her ankle trying to reduce the pain, at that moment she felt lifted up by someone. Ava subconsciously held onto the neck of the person afraid to fall and looked up and Oliver's handsome but cold face came into view. Ava was so mortified she quickly looked away but said nothing.

Oliver bought her into his car and helped her seat down on the passenger seat, as it was raining heavily outside, by the time both of them were inside they were drenched in rain. Embarrasses Ava sat there quietly. Oliver looked at Ava and seeing her sitting there without attempting to wipe herself, he said impatiently, "are you a fool? Why aren't you using paper towels to wipe yourself? Do you want to catch a cold?"

At that point Ava came back to her senses, she was even more mortified now. Ava quickly picked up some napkins and handed them over to Oliver then took some more to wipe herself. After she was done she quietly said, "Thank you."

Ava cursed herself inside thinking what kind of bad luck she had today, it had to rain so heavily today when she didn't have her car, then she twisted her ankle, and now the man she wanted to avoid most in the whole city, she was seated in his car. Her bad luck couldn't get any worse now, can it?
