NovelBookChapter 330 After Serena finished taking the photos, she didn't bother disturbing the little flirtation happening in the pantry.
Two grown adults flirting with each other... There was nothing to make a fuss about.
She wandered back to the couch, drained the last half of her coffee in one lazy gulp, and figured that if she couldn't get any rest today, she might as well have Chris send over the documents that needed reviewing.
Just one door away, inside the pantry, Ava was laughing as she leaned into Cole's arms.
"Mr. Cole, aren't you supposed to be entertaining guests? How do you still have tto fool around with us?" "Entertaining guests and fooling around... They don't have to be mutually exclusive," Cole replied with his deep gaze carrying a casual sort of tenderness.

But here, with only a thin door between them, he could sneak glances at Serena as she sat quietly outside- beautiful and serene-while still enjoying Ava's warmth in his arms.
It helped vent his pent-up frustration and desire. What else could have been better? Of course, Ava had no idea what was really going through his mind. She simply nestled closer, eager for his affection.
They flirted for a while, until the sound of a door opening echoed from the conference room.
Ava jumped, startled. "Why's someone else here?" Before she could pull away to see who it was, the pantry door was suddenly thrown open with a loud bang. Sarah stood in the doorway with her face twisted with fury. When she saw Cole's arm still around Ava's waist, her eyes practically sparked with rage.
"You bitch! Do you even know your worth? How dare you seduce a man right here in the office?" "W-Who are you?" Ava stammered, completely caught off guard. Her voice trembled with a mix of confusion and anger.
Cole raised a brow. Why was Sarah here? Outside, Serena hadn't expected that one simple photo would provoke Sarah into storming straight into Larson Group.
Without thinking, she stepped in to block her path. "This is a place of business. If you have private issues with Cole, take them somewhere else." "Take it somewhere else?" Sarah snapped and shoved Serena's hand aside.
She stormed toward Cole and Ava, grabbed Ava by the hair, and yanked her off the island counter before throwing her roughly onto the floor.
"Ahh!" "You filthy stut! Do you think a nobody like you can seduce Cole? You think you can just claw your way into the Larson family and be his wife? Look at yourself. You're disgusting!" "I didn't! I never... Help me!" Ava sobbed hysterically. She was scrambling on the floor, utterly unprepared for such violence.
Sarah was consumed by rage. Why? Why was she the one cleaning up Cole's messes, never knowing where he was, while a low-level secretary like Ava had him eating out of the palm of her hand? She didn't dare lay a hand on Cole, so all her hatred and anger fell onto Ava. She couldn't accept it. She refused to.
"You whore! You bitch!" Sarah shrieked and pulled Ava's hair even harder.

The two other secretaries nearby stood frozen in fear, not daring ton step in. Serena hesitated too. Sarah was like a mad dog, and getting close could just make things worse.
She was reaching for her phone to call security when Hugh's call ce through. "Are you in the lounge?" he asked.
"Yeah," Serena replied.
"What's all that noise?" Hugh's voice sharpened immediately.
Before Serena could even explain, he said, "Stay put. I'm coming over." Even though Hugh's voice was soft, Cole heard every word, and his blood went cold.
If Hugh found out he had been
flirting with a company secretary and had dragged a lunatic like Sarah into the company to start a fight... Ho didn't even want to imagine what kind of punishment was waiting for him. św
