Rowan
I watch as Emma excuses herself and stands up. I wouldn’t have bothered with her if it wasn’t for the fact that she walks out minutes after Ava.
My gut was telling me to follow her. I couldn’t get over the words Ava spoke to me about Emma. It was fucking with my head and I needed answers. Especially after how Emma has been behaving.
The excitiment she had about coming here was now gone. I bet my fucking company it’s because we learned that the function was hosted by Ava. That Ava wasn’t a loser as she had thought.
None of the others had a problem except for her. Gabe had even asked a couple of ladies for a fucking dance. As for Travis despite the mournful looks he gave Letty, he seemed fine being here. Especially after Letty joined us at our table.
Slowly I stand up. I don’t say anything even when the others give me weird looks.
I walk outside to find Ava and Emma standing face to face.
They were so focused on each other that I don’t think they even noticed me.
“Do you think that just because you’re the founder of Hope foundation you’re now something?” Emma asks Ava.
I hear as Ava sighs tiredly. “I don’t have the time or energy to deal with you Emma, so could you step aside?”
As I watched both of them something told me that I’ve been wrong all this time. That everything I believed has been nothing but a fucking lie.
“You’re nothing Ava. I keep telling you and nothing will change that. Having money won’t change the fact that we all hate you. Rowan especially” Emma sneers but Ava isn’t affected.
“Are you done? Because all I hear is the same bullshit you’ve been spouting since you came back” she pauses before continuing. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m done with your nonsense”
She goes to bypass her but Emma grabs her hand in a not so gentle manner. I was sure that it would leave a damn bruise. I go to move but Ava rips her arm from Emma’s
