CHAPTER 4

'Evelyn is a hardworking girl. She always makes the customers happy even though I have been somewhat rude to her, I do value her part in this restaurant. She works day and night relentlessly unlike the others.'

Mrs Anders thought while in her office staring down at Evelyn through her window as she works diligently.

'I better increase her pay before she finds work elsewhere.'

She picked up the phone (landline) and called for Evelyn into her office.

"Good afternoon ma'am" Evelyn greeted as she walked into her office.

"Have a seat" Mrs Anders beckoned

So she sat down feeling nervous because the last time she was in this office was when she newly applied for the job and over the years, she never had to enter in there. But here she was in the very place she never thought she'll be.

Confusion was written all over her face.

"Take a breather dear" Mrs Anders said after noticing how confused and nervous she was.

"Okay ma'am" Evelyn replied taking a deep breath.

"The reason I called you here Evelyn, is because you have been doing a great job as a full timer here in this establishment. So as an act of benevolence on my part, you will be rewarded. Your pay will be increased and you will be promoted as my assistant. But that doesn't mean you won't be working like you used to, the only difference is you will no longer be serving coffee, your useless friend will handle that. Your new job is, you will be a receptionist all through the day instead, that is all you can leave now."

Evelyn's POV

While I was busy giving out coffee to the customers and taking orders, the landline rang and I was taken aback for a moment because that particular one doesn't ring for any reason. So I picked up, what I heard was shocking. Mrs Anders wanted me in her office. I immediately dropped the phone and headed for her office, feeling nervous.

I walked into her office, hoping and praying that she doesn't fire me because this is the only place I have planned to take my revenge and if I lose my job it will take a whole lot of time if not years before I can be this close to Aragon's holdings.

But it turns out my plans were far from failing, its even the very thing I have always wanted since I applied for a job here, which is being a receptionist full time. That way, I can see all the rich bastards that works for the Aragons. Who knows one of these days I might even get to meet the heir of Aragon's holdings himself.

Rumor has it that he comes to one of the suites in the VIP session during the day, while I work as a receptionist at night.

"Wow Mrs Anders, thank you so much I appreciate your generous gesture. I promise to make sure I work even more than I used to" I replied

"Okay enough, off you go" she said

I got out of her office feeling great, can't wait to break the news to Lee later.

While changing into official wears to continue her job as a receptionist, Britney came into the dressing room and said

"I heard our dear Mrs Anders called you into her office, that's strange. What was that all about?"

"Oh love, I have been promoted and I won't be serving coffees anymore. Will be a receptionist full time" Evelyn said happily

"Oh my! Congratulations I will miss you down here. Who will I gossip about her with now?" Britney whined like some ten year old, and they both laughed and left the changing room for their various duties for the day.

Evelyn's joy knows no bound, she was grinning nonstop.

She was somewhat convinced that the heavens are in support of her mission.

"How on earth could they hire incompetent people in this company just to stress me out. And who in their right mind hired an ugly and worthless fool as my secretary? I simply told her to get me coffee and what did she do? She added cream, doesn't she know am allergic to it? Get her fired and put Elvis as my secretary right this instant, if I get even a glimpse of that girl, I swear I will kill her. I need to get our of here I feel stuffed, I need some fresh air and when I get back, those incompetent fools had better be out of here or else you will be next"

His manager got to that instantly so as not to lose his job as well.

With that said, Eric stormed out of his office and left the building his guards went after him.

After entering the car, he told the driver to take him to the place he goes usually to cool off.

The driver known to be Cole took him to Mrs Anders restaurant. He came down from his car, guards ran to open the door for him in other to avoid what happened few days back from repeating itself. He went inside and he was led by the driver to the exclusive(VIP) session. As he approached the VIP session, he saw an angel in human form smiling to welcome him, he just stopped on his tracks and kept looking at her.

ERIC'S POV

I couldn't believe my eyes as I walked into the VIP session, what I saw was not of this fold, she was like from another planet different from everyone I have ever seen. Her beauty radiating I haven't seen such beauty. What I heard next made my heart beat hard and fast in my chest, hers was the most angelic voice I have ever heard. Also her smile could raise a dead man back to life. Her angelic voice brought me back to reality and then I recalled, I was here to chill. So I maintained my cold expression and assumed she wasn't there and was led by the guards to my suite. A well decorated and conducive place where I could steam off. So I sat and asked for a cup of coffee, I needed to calm down a little bit before I go nuts.

EVELYN'S POV

While receiving visitors into the suites, heard some cleaners murmuring amongst themselves and I overheard one telling her fellow colleague

"The heir of the Aragon's wealth is in town"

"Are you serious?"

"Yes I am"

"Oh I wish I could just touch is pants or even his shoe lace"

"You bet girl, he is so handsome"

Hearing this I kept my fingers crossed, hoping he comes in here some day soon.

Hours later, I saw guards trooping into the VIP session lo and behold, it's none other than Eric Aragon the one I have been waiting for. Am quite good at hiding and controlling my emotions and feelings, cause I felt the urge to kill him right there. But being rash isn't the best thing to do at the moment, so I bowed and then smiled the best way I know how. I then looked up only to see him staring at me, I knew right then and there, that he was deeply affected by my appearance.

Thank heavens, I won't need to put in much efforts in seducing him, he just stood there staring at me until I greeted again.

"Welcome sir"

I then handed the key of the executive suite to one of his men and they all left.

As much as I am hellbent on taking my revenge, I need him alive, and since I could see that I have an effect on him, that's one point for me. So I better calm down my nerves, keep it all in and just blend in.

It was at this moment she was truly convinced that the heavens had her back in this mission of hers .

'But come to think of it, he is quite cute. No way what on earth has gotten over me?

I better not allow my eyes get the better of me.'

So she went on with her job for the rest of the day.
