Chapter 28

"Are you going to play tennis at the club this weekend?" Tristan asked.

"Yeah, I'll be there," Ava answered casually.

On most weekends, her parents went to the club to relax and enjoy some extra time with their peers. So Ava tagged along with her parents.

"Good," Tristan said with a small smile.

He wanted to know where he could see her next time. He wanted to create as many opportunities for them to meet.

Ava suddenly remembered a book that Kelly needed. So she went back to the shelf. Tristan followed close behind. He wanted to be close to Ava.

"Why are you following me?" Ava turned around and asked.

"I'm just looking around the library," Tristan said innocently.

She did not believe a word he said, but she knew that he would do whatever he wanted anyway, so she just kept quiet.

Tristan smiled. He wanted Ava to get comfortable around him.

Ava was nervous around him, and she treated him like a stranger. He wanted her to accept him unconsciously by making her get used to his presence.

Kelly was waiting for Ava to have lunch. She was watching her watch, and it's been a while. She got impatient, so she went to the library to search for Ava.

PA Jack was waiting outside the library, and he was getting bored. His boss has been talking to Ava for quite some time now. He was wondering how well his boss has progressed.

Kelly was wondering where Ava was. 'Where are you Ava,' she murmured as she entered the library.

Jack was at the entrance, and he heard some girl saying Ava's name. He thought that she may be talking about the same Ava his boss was talking to inside the library.

"Excuse me," Jack said to Kelly.

Kelly looked at him, confused. She was in a hurry, so she did not notice him. 

He was attractive in his suit, with his hair neatly combed. He didn't look like a college student, but he looked like somebody from the corporate world. Looking closely, he looked handsome. He was thin and tall, and facial features that could attract anyone.

"Are you searching for Ava Wesley," Jack asked to confirm.

"Yes, who are you, and what are you doing here?" Kelly questioned him.

"I'm sorry, but you cannot go into the library right now," Jack said in a loud and stern voice. His boss was trying to get close to Ava, and he did not want anyone to disturb them.

Jack has been working for Tristan for a long time. This was the first time his boss took an interest in anyone. He was going to do whatever he could to help his boss.

"Are you telling me that I cannot go in to talk to my best friend? Answer my question first. Who are you?" Kelly was irritated.

"My boss is inside the library, and you cannot disturb him," Jack said in a calm tone. He did not care that Kelly was irritated.

"Who is your boss, and why should I listen to you?" Kelly said angrily and went inside.

Jack tried to stop Kelly by grabbing her hand. Kelly tried to pull her hand away, and Jack's hand fell on Kelly's breast.

"You pervert," Kelly screamed.

Jack got very nervous, he did not intend for his hand to fall where it did. "Look, I'm sorry," Jack stammered.

"Are you crazy? Just wait till I complain to the college authorities," Kelly was fuming. She felt this guy was acting like a lunatic. He looked like a gentleman, and his appearance looked very good, but his actions were crazy.

Kelly thought that looks could really be deceiving, seeing how he tried to touch her.

"Please forgive me, it was a mistake," Jack apologized.

"Forgive you?" Kelly was about to say something when Ava and Tristan came out at the same time.

"Kelly, what happened?" Ava asked. She's never seen Kelly this angry before.

"Thank god I found you. Ava this guy is a pervert. He tried to misbehave with me," Kelly complained to Ava.

"Kelly, this is Tristan's PA and I think he did not mean to misbehave you with," Ava told Kelly. She met PA Jack a few times already and had a good opinion about him.

"Yeah, that's true. Thank you, young miss," Jack felt happy hearing Ava supporting him.

Kelly kept quiet while listening to Ava when she noticed the person standing behind her.

"Oh my god. It's Tristan Ambrosio. The whole college is talking about him.

Wow! he looks more handsome in real life than the television," Kelly said giddily.

Tristan pretended not to hear and just stood there with his poker face.

"Come let's go," Ava said to Kelly.

"Sure, Ava where have you been? I'm so hungry. We're so late for lunch," Kelly asked.

Suddenly Tristan looked at Kelly. It means Ava lied to him. She did not have lunch and rejected his lunch offer to avoid him.

Ava bit her lip, her small lie got exposed. She slowly looked at Tristan and saw that he was smirking. Tristan stood in front of her and stared.

Ava did not lift her head and looked at the floor. She felt Tristan would surely bully her again.

"Well, you owe me lunch," Tristan chuckled and walked away with Jack following behind him.

"Ava, do you know Tristan Ambrosio? What were you doing with him?" Kelly asked curiously. They looked very familiar with the way they were talking to each other.

"We were just talking," Ava said, not intending to explain further.

"Are you going to see him again?" Kelly asked.

"Come on, we are already late for lunch," Ava said, not answering Kelly's question.

"I think my luck is changing. I'm meeting so many handsome people nowadays," Kelly giggled. She was thinking that first, she meets Hardin and now Tristan. They were very good eye candy.

Ava sighed, thinking that no matter how much she tries to avoid him still, she somehow gets tangled with Tristan.
