Chapter 120
Mason’s POV
The second meeting with Khalid, we’d agreed to take him to the amusement park and I could tell that he was so excited because he wouldn’t stop talking on the drive there.
It was pleasant especially since it was an outing with my friends and their own kids too. I introduced Khalid to them and it didn’t take long for the children to get along.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
The children found their way out of our grasp even though they were still in sight and we the adults decided to have a picnic and watch the kids have fun.
We couldn’t stop talking and laughing, it was fun especially since Rylie, like she is, wouldn’t stop bringing up embarrassing childhood memories of me.
It felt like the way it was when I first introduced Ava to them and how well we’d all got along, taking a glance at Ava who was eating her strawberry so seductively that it sent the worst signal it could’ve at the park to my dick.
“You’re doing this on purpose right?” I whispered into her ear as I pulled her closer to me and she looked at me like she was oblivious to what I meant.
Looking around and sure no one was staring at us, I guided her hand down to my dick and she gasped, “eat the strawberry like that one more time and we’ll be fucking in front of, I don’t know, hundreds of people and kids.” I threatened.
She let out a roaring laughter before kissing me and then my phone buzzed, I checked to see who it was and I rolled my eyes when I saw Aisha’s name boldly written on the screen.
Excusing myself, I went to pick up the call and she told me that she wanted to come pick Khalid up since they were both going for an important meeting of some sort.
I hated having to cut the kid’s fun short but I patiently explained to him why I had to do that and promised to come pick him up next time so we can have the fun of our lives.
It didn’t take long for Aisha to show up and pick Khalid up, it broke my heart to hear the kid cry so much but he calmed down when I offered to buy him ice cream.
Adoring Khalid came easy to me even though I’d thought it would be difficult. I’ve seen Ava have an internal battle with herself about liking Khalid but she just couldn’t help it.
The kid is a fluff ball and we’ve fallen in love with him after just meeting him twice.
I’d offered Ava a job and I was glad when she agreed to be my assistant so we went to work together and came back home together.
“We can’t be late! This is an important meeting.” Ava called out to me and quickly, my feet padded down the stairs as I kissed her and soon we were at the office.
I was unable to take my eyes off her, she stood gracefully as she displayed her idea on the projector and soon began to pitch it.
Her wrists were delicate, her fingers strong and slim as she controlled the remote and wouldn’t stop talking. She had a chin of iron determination.
“But then, how do we know it works since it’s not in the market yet, do we just invest in something we have no idea about?” One of the investors asked and Ava laughed.
“If it hasn’t been tested I wouldn’t be pitching it,” she responded calmly as she handed a file that went round the table.
“The success rate of this is 98. 9% now, who wouldn’t want to invest? It’s a risk but with a success rate as high as this? It’s a risk worth taking.” She finished.
The meeting room fell silent for a while before a thunderous clap filled the sky and I could tell that they were impressed with what she’d just pitched.
“Where did you manage to find such a smart, intelligent, remarkable assistant?” One of them asked as he turned to me, “we might be lending her some time.” He laughed.
Hurriedly, we signed the contract and shook hands before they left.
“Congratulations!” Ava shrieked and I lifted her off the ground and spun her around. This was a success because of her.
Placing her down, I smooched her face with lots of kisses and couldn’t stop thanking her for how well she did.
“Whatever you want, name it.” I cooed happily and my phone rang and I checked to see it was Aisha.
Picking the call up while Ava picked up the rest of her files, Aisha told me to come pick Khalid up since he wouldn’t stop crying that he wanted to see me.
“Go pick him up and we can all go to the cinema and see a movie together.” Ava suggested and I agreed as I picked my car keys.
“Leave early please, as soon as you drop those files.” I told her as I kissed her before leaving for the apartment I got for Aisha.
“Hello!” I announced as I got in to see the door widely opened. It wasn’t surprising but I was expecting Khalid to be out by now.
To my surprise, Aisha was the one who’d welcomed me, she was wrapped in a really short towel and her hair wrapped up in a towel too.
“You’re here.” She started like I didn’t know that I was here. Biting lower lip, she pulled the towel and stood naked in front of me. I watched as she made her way to me and tried to loosen my belt.
Angrily, I smacked her hand away before pushing her slightly, “the next time you try something as stupid as this, I’ll make sure that I have you put behind bars.” I threatened and she was taken aback.
Shrugging, she picked up her towel and wrapped it around her. I’d turned to leave when Khalid got home from school and was happy to see me.
Taking him with me, I didn’t let him change into proper clothes before driving out of his mother’s building.
What was she thinking? That I pounce on her hungrily?
