Chapter 164 She was Beyond Gorgeous
It was the fifth anniversary of Avery and Jordan. Also, it was Avery’s birthday. She was looking forward to spending quality time with her boyfriend. She even applied for special leave on that day. Jordan had never taken her out for dinner for the past five years.
He had never introduced her to his friends or his family. She had never received any gift from him. Sometimes she felt that she was in a one-sided relationship. He always told her that he was busy with the company. She was hoping that today he would propose to her.
Her father called her early in the morning and said, “Happy birthday my Sweetheart, Daddy loves you so much. May the Lord give you the desires of your heart. May He remove people who are not supposed to be in your life today on your birthday and bless you with wisdom.”
Avery giggled when she heard her father’s words. She thanked her father, and then they hung up.
Then her best friend, Gabriella Stone called her and said, “Happy birthday my dearest friend. May the Lord reveal things that are hidden from you today since it is your birthday. May He give you strength to face every storm in your life.” Avery was puzzled when she heard her best friend’s wishes.
Before she uttered a word, Gabriella told her that she had taken a special leave to spend time with her. Avery was over the moon. She hadn’t received any call from her boyfriend indicating that he would celebrate her birthday with her.
Siyabonga called her and said, “Happy birthday my sweet Avery, may the Lord bless you with wisdom and strength. May He protect you from harm. I love you, baby sister.”
Then the Shelton family, the Evans family, and the King family wished her a happy birthday. However, she didn’t receive any birthday wishes from the love of her life, Jordan. She was very disappointed because he promised to propose to her on her birthday.
Avery felt that their loved one’s birthday wishes were weird, but she didn’t take them to heart. Someone knocked on the door. It was the delivery man; she gave her the Blue Iris flowers. In her heart, she was hoping it was from Jordan. She took the card; she was disappointed that the flowers were from her father.
Gabriella Stone took her to a salon to do her hair. Then they went shopping for a dress. Avery picked a red knee-high dress. It was stunning. Gabriella pushed her friend to the fitting room.
A few minutes later, Avery walked out. Gabriella was stunned; her best friend was as beautiful as a fairy. She was gorgeous. She smiled at her friend and said, “I wish I had a brother, you are so beautiful, my Avery. Where is Jordan taking you for your birthday?”
Avery looked at her hands and replied, “I don’t know. I haven’t received a call from him.” Gabriella was surprised to hear that and said, “Let’s hope he will surprise you with a big diamond ring today. You have done so much for him.”
Avery smiled and replied, “I hope so too, my dearest friend. Even though sometimes I feel that he doesn’t love me. For five years, he has never introduced me to anyone important to him.
I am yearning for the love I read about in the novels. He only calls me when he needs help from me. Otherwise, he just ignores me.
I am leaving tomorrow evening to attend the World Health Summit in Berlin from 12-14. Maybe I will be Jordan’s fiancée at that time.”
Gabriella heard the rumors that Jordan was dating the daughter of the Spencer Group. She was disappointed in Jordan. He had wasted her friend’s time and money. She wanted to tell her about the rumours between Jordan and Tiffany, but she didn’t have evidence.
Also, she didn’t want to spoil her friend’s birthday with a rumour. She was praying that it was not true because she knew how her friend loved Jordan. She had sacrificed a lot for him.
Gabriella told Avery about the editor-in-chief post that it would be vacant at the end of the month. She asked Avery for prayers because there were so many qualified people who were waiting for the post to be advertised.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Unbeknownst to her, the post would not be advertised, but it would be given to a person who would be capable of completing a task. Avery assured her that the job would be hers.
At 2:30 pm, Avery received a text message from Jordan asking her to meet him at His Mercy restaurant at 6 pm. Avery was over the moon. She was grinning from ear to ear.
It was 3:30 pm when they reached her apartment. Gabriella had called her make-up artist; she wanted her friend to be stunning.
After she did her make-up, she looked like she was coming straight from the painting. Gabriella sighed; she had never seen anyone so beautiful. Fortunately, she brought her camera. She took many photos from every angle.
Gabriella gave her a recording pen and said, “Love, please record your beautiful moment. Don’t forget to press the record button before you enter the private room.” Avery smiled brightly and promised her that she would send her the recording tonight.
At 5 pm, she went to her underground garage. Sitting in her garage was a stunning red Aston Martin DBX. She opened the door and drove off. She was overjoyed. She felt that nothing would upset her that day.
After five years, it was their first date. She was looking forward to seeing what Jordan had prepared for her.
When she arrived at His Mercy restaurant, she quickly pressed the record button, then she entered the private room. Jordan was already in the private room with a young beautiful lady. She was sitting on his lap kissing each other.
Avery looked at them with a confused expression; she thought she was in the wrong private room. She was about to walk out of the room when Jordan raised his head. He was stunned when he saw Avery. She was beyond gorgeous. Something happened in his heart. Would Jordan let Avery go?
