Chapter 168
Falling for My Contractual Wife
Ava rushed into Brianâs office without thinking.
âBrian, I donât want to stay in the HR department. Can you let me go to another department?â
Brian put down the document in his hand and looked at her.
Marshall was furious. He reached out to pull her, but she shook him off.
âWhat are you studying?â Brian leaned back in his chair and asked lazily.
âBroadcast,â replied Ava.
Brian thought for a moment and said, âThereâs no professional position for you in the company. If you feel that the HR department is not suitable for you, you can go to the sales department. You donât need any professional knowledge. You just need to run the business every day.â
Ava bit her lip. âThen what about a secretary? I can be a secretary too.â
Thereâs no shortage of people in this position.â
Brian sat up straight and prepared to continue working.
Marshallâs anger reached an intense level. He advanced towards Ava with determination, seizing her wrist firmly. âGo back with me.â His words carried a weight of authority and frustration.
Ava deftly freed herself and hurried to Brian. âBrian, could you do me another favor and arrange something for me? Maybe a secretary assistant position?â
âThereâs no such position, and my secretary doesnât need an assistant.â
In that moment, Ava noticed a contract lying on the table. The two words at the bottom immediately caught her attention, and Graceâs name stood out prominently in the document.
Ava picked up the contract and quickly glanced at it.
Brian looked up and took the contract from her hand with slight displeasure. âYou donât understand this.â
âWho said I donât understand? Brian, you bought the comics rights to Grace and want to make it into a movie?â
Brian looked up at her and did not answer. It was a tacit agreement.
Marshall could clearly feel Brianâs cold expression. He quickly went forward and grabbed Avaâs hand before walking out.
âBrian, Iâll bring Ava out to familiarize himself with the company environment first.â
Marshall quickly pulled her out of the office and glared at her. âI told you to behave yourself. Donât you understand what Iâm saying?â
Ava turned around and glared at him. âDad, I donât think you care about me at all. You went in for half a day, and you only asked me to do odd jobs in the HR department. You didnât even get to see Brian.â
Marshallâs expression hardened. âWhatâs the meaning of this? I arranged for you to work at the Francis Group, and now youâre contemplating meeting Brian? Ava, let me make it clear. Brian is your sisterâs fiancé. Despite their current issues, you must not exploit the situation.â
Ava was so angry that her face turned pale. âAm I your daughter or not? You only think of that son of a bitch, Louise, all day longâ
âShut up. Donât talk about your sister like that.â Marshall glared at him fiercely.
Ava snorted coldly. âDad, I think you canât see the situation clearly, Louise has already gone overseas, and youâre still pinning your hopes on her. If I were Brian, I would have changed my mind long ago.â
She arrogantly lifted her head and continued, âIf you still want the Adkins family to form a marital alliance with the Francis family, then you should help me get Brian. Instead of accusing me of stealing my sisterâs fiancé.â
Marshall was so angry that he could not speak.
Ava took a deep breath. âForget it. Thereâs no hope relying on you at all. Dad, just watch. Iâll definitely stay by Big Brother Brianâs side with my own abilities.â
Ava quickly left the Francis Group.
Marshall thought about it and felt that what Ava said made sense.
In particular, Brian seemed to have formed a partnership with the woman called Grace. This was indeed a dangerous sign for the Adkins family.
