Divorced Me, I Accepted My CEO Propose [38]
The sound of music began to be heard, and the welcoming speeches had been going on since earlier. The commotion behind the stage added to the nervousness that was overwhelming Evangeline Rutherford. She repeatedly tried to calm herself down while waiting for her turn. Brina had actually forbidden her from leaving the room, but Eva was Eva.She wanted to see with her own eyes how the stage was being visited by invited guests. Eva could clearly see several staff members in special uniforms escorting them to their designated seats. She also recognized a few familiar faces. Although she rarely attended business events with Roderick Langley in the past, Marguerite Langley sometimes invited her to more private gatherings.And it was in such places that Eva had come to recognize some of the faces now seated around the stage.“Don't worry, everything will be fine,“ Eva said, clenching her hands together.“Eva,” Brina called, causing Eva to turn her head. “Your turn in five minutes.”This was

The world Evangeline stood in now seemed to have stopped. There was only her, staring at the man in front of her. He sat calmly, smiling slightly, occasionally responding and acting sweetly toward the woman beside him. When Roderick was with her, he had never acted so gently. What she saw made her heart feel like it was being squeezed roughly.“I'm here to save you, Eva.”It was Max's voice. It sounded so clear that Eva immediately realized she shouldn't be standing there in silence. She blinked twice, convincing herself that Max was really there. He smiled slightly and reached out his hand, gesturing for Eva to come closer. No. Eva was sure Max didn't want her to take his hand, but he signaled for her to continue walking.That's what Eva did. Even though she felt like her feet weren't touching the ground, she tried her best to avoid any mistakes that could happen because of her earlier silence. Brina's voice giving instructions, Nico directing her on how to pose appropriately and aes

Maximilian glanced at his watch. He had five minutes left before the press conference he had to attend. This conference was crucial for Trinity Fashion's sales this season. The Trinity executives were surely waiting to hear what he would say during the conference. They might even be watching to see how the event, which had started less than an hour ago, was going.“Sir,“ Irena greeted him, out of breath.“Did you see a ghost?” Max asked, pulling out a cigarette. “You're five minutes late, Irena.”Irena groaned in frustration. ‘I can't move freely, you annoying Trinity Fashion boss!’ She tapped her foot slightly. ”This dress is really getting in my way.”Max wanted to laugh but only managed a thin smile. Imagining Irena running around in a dress that was a bit tight around the legs seemed quite difficult. But in Max's eyes, Irena looked different tonight. Much more elegant than when she wore pants and a stiff blouse as her everyday attire.“But it's okay once in a while, Irena. You loo

Isadora's hands were clenched tightly. Her heart began to race, and she felt an overwhelming urge to vent all the frustration building up inside her. Her attendance at this fashion show was not only to solidify her relationship with Roderick—oh, anyone would want to be with a man like Roderick, whom she had already conquered. Besides, the Langley family held significant influence in the country's business circles, and which woman wouldn't be captivated by Roderick's good looks?Even as she stepped out of the car, Isadora could already see many eyes fixed on her future husband. It didn't matter. Isadora wasn't bothered. After all, she was certain Rick wouldn't be able to stay away from her. She hadn't come here without a purpose.Every time Trinity Fashion held its latest fashion show, it was always surrounded by many businesspeople and prominent figures in the country. Isadora wanted to take part in getting to know them better. So that she could be better known and accepted among the

The entire event was over, and even the woman didn't expect to make it to the last session; the closing ceremony was quite a spectacle. Fireworks lit up the sky as a sign that the hard work of most of the Trinity Fashion staff had paid off. And almost all of them stayed until the event was completely over.Still, the main boss was still there. He occasionally greeted the workers with a friendly smile. Instead of receiving a warm welcome, Max was met with puzzled glances. The staff quickly left him, as if Max's friendly greeting was the strangest thing in the world.“What's wrong with them?” Max muttered in confusion. He loosened his shirt and rolled up the sleeves to his elbows. Max didn't care much about his appearance at this late stage. He just wanted to make sure his guests were well taken care of.“I think you should go back to the hotel, Eva.“ Max approached Evangeline, who was sitting at the edge of the banquet area. Most of the guests had already left, leaving only the staff c

Rick poured himself another glass of wine, his companion for the evening. He glanced over at the large bed in the middle of the room, where Isadora was already fast asleep, curled up under the blanket. He remembered what had happened before the woman had drifted off to sleep. It was something Rick always enjoyed doing whenever he was with Isadora.Whispering each other's names and reaching the peak of pleasure together. Especially since the atmosphere tonight was perfect for Rick to fulfill his desires, even though... something was bothering him. He tried to push it away, but it kept coming back. Making him step aside for a moment, thinking about what was really happening.In his other hand, he held a tablet playing a replay of the press conference held by Trinity Fashion. It had been less than twenty-four hours since he attended the event. From the opening session to the Q&A, Rick didn't miss a single part. Occasionally, he sipped the wine in his glass. He was waiting for something t

“There's something we want to buy, Eva. Maybe after this we can go downtown. Aren't you curious about the city?” Ursula asked with sparkling eyes. ”I can't wait to go back and explore around the Yamada building. There are so many tourist attractions and shopping centers.”“Your mind is too honest, Sula,” Harvey chuckled. ‘But I agree with you. We do need the city atmosphere to relax. When else will we get to enjoy the beauty of this city dubbed the romantic city of the West? We're free until two days from now.”Ursula laughed. ’The torture will come soon, and it'll be suffocating if we can't make the most of our free time.”Evangeline, who had been listening to their conversation, furrowed her brows. “Does that apply to me too?”They nodded in unison.“Especially you,” Harvey interjected quickly. ”I'm sure Irena is busy arranging your schedule for later. I remember when I first joined Trinity Fashion and completed my first assignment. I couldn't imagine how tired and ready to cry I wa

Evangeline couldn't hide her surprise at how much there was to do. Irena, sitting in front of her, chose to enjoy the piece of cake Eva had offered her. She could see Eva's eyes darting around, observing every part of the sheet that had just been handed to her.“You... you're not serious, are you, Irena?” Eva asked, looking incredulous.“Of course I wouldn't lie to you about the schedule.” Irena chuckled. ‘I've already given your schedule to Brina. You're lucky; Brina was asked to handle you for this season.”Eva was speechless.“That's also why the noisy trio isn't bothering me, Eva.’ Irena squealed with joy. ”Being free from Brina is a blessing for them, you know.”“Oh my God.” Eva could only sigh in frustration. She didn't care who her partner was while following the schedule at Trinity Fashion. Brina and Nico had warned her to prepare herself as much as possible after the show. She only had two days off and had to make the most of it.Luckily for her, the noisy trio also had the s

“You don't need to complain like that, Isa,” Samantha laughed in response to all the chatter from the woman she could rely on. She didn't expect Isa's move to be so smooth and flawless, and that it had been carefully considered. She placed the cup of tea she had made especially for the woman in front of her. ”Drink this so you can calm down.”“How can I calm down?” Isa sighed irritably. ‘I believed I could influence Ursula. But it turns out she's just like Giselle. I have to retaliate for what Ursula did to me yesterday.”Samantha laughed. ’Do you really want to be friends with them?”Isa sighed softly. “You know that if I'm in their group, I can have much more influence. What's the point of that if not to enjoy it together?”The woman who owned Sams Group laughed even harder. ”You really take advantage of everything within your grasp, don't you? You've really thought through what you want to do.”Isa grinned. She slowly sipped the tea made especially for her. “I should have done this

“Why do you look upset, Isa?“ Rick asked, glancing at the woman sitting next to him. Since the press conference, which he had also attended, his wife had only smiled slightly and said little.“I don't know,” Isa sighed deeply. “Maybe I'm tired because work at Sams is quite demanding.”Rick furrowed his brow, a bit surprised by Isa's words. “You've only been working for two days. And I think you've been out of the office since lunch today.”The woman chuckled. ”You're right. I intentionally took some time off to pick up Ursula because I felt she's been helping us a lot at Unique, right?”Rick nodded.“But if this latest choice is really the best, I think we should welcome Eva properly.”Rick chose not to speak. He focused on the road ahead, which was no longer as empty as usual. The crucial hour had trapped them in traffic, and they had to be patient to reach their destination: Dominique's residence.“Are you happy to meet Eva, dear?”The man glanced at her with a sneer. “What do you m

“Are they here yet?” asked Rick, checking the watch on his left wrist. It had been almost an hour since Max had confirmed their arrival time.“Just a moment, sir. Their car has entered the lobby and is being directed to the upper floor to avoid the reporters. They are all after a story about Miss Eva.”Rick quickened his pace toward the meeting room. At least he had to entertain the guests properly; he couldn't afford to tarnish his image further. And he couldn't afford to lose focus either.“Mrs. Isa is also on her way to the office, sir.”Rick's steps slowed. “For what?”“She wants to meet Unique's new icon. It seems like Mrs. Isa is giving her full attention to sales. I've seen her discussing things with Mr. Jacob a lot over the past few days. With Mrs. Samantha, of course.”Rick chose to keep that information to himself and wait for the right time to talk to his wife. Since the investor in Milan had caused problems, his concentration had been quite disturbed. He didn't have much t

Rick's anger was pent up, his hands clenched, and he had cursed countless times, but the result was still the same. It wasn't getting done quickly. Indeed, checking several parts took time. But still, as long as Unique was in his hands, and as long as he was under his father's supervision, there had never been a problem like this before.To make matters worse, there was the new project he had recently been assigned. He had already warned the staff involved to focus more, as the production target was far higher than the previous year. There was trust, but also hard work to prove they could deliver.“No word from Gustav yet?” Rick asked, sitting down roughly in his chair. It had been two days since the bad news reached him via email. He couldn't take it lightly at that time. He immediately took action, one of which was to ask Gustav to check it out directly.He didn't know what his trusted employee was doing in Jazeran, but what was clear was that the distance between Milan and Jazeran

“How's it going?” Samantha asked, a little excited. They were enjoying some time together during what was actually a pretty busy day. But for Samantha, being here with her favorite cup of coffee and some snacks to go with it was no problem. After all, Sams Group had started to take off since the woman in front of her got involved.That's also why Samantha wasn't going to let go of the woman who was now part of her family.“I've already tried to convince Rick,” Isa sighed softly. ‘But it seems like my persuasion isn't working yet. He just said he'd think about it.”“Did you give him the most convincing reason?’ Samantha asked with a soft laugh. ”Usually, when you give that reason, a man as stubborn as Rick can't resist it.”“I did.” Isa's shoulders slumped weakly. ‘But it's okay. I'll wait patiently for his decision. I'm sure he won't be able to refuse me easily.”Samantha nodded confidently. ’No problem. I would be helped if I had an assistant, but since this position is meant for you

“According to sources that Mommy can trust, there is indeed a bit of debate regarding the marketing that has been going on. Although some of Unique's top brass know who you are, Eva, because this is outside of Unique, you are considered someone who works where you can bring them certain benefits.”Rita's explanation to Eva and Max made sense.“But this is too much of a coincidence, isn't it?” Eva asked, sighing softly. ”Maybe if they were targeting Giselle or Harvey, I wouldn't be so suspicious.”Rita nodded, understanding the concerns of the woman in front of her. When the car carrying them stopped at one of the tall buildings in the center of Yazeran, the person Rita didn't want to see greeted them. With a mischievous grin and an overly casual demeanor.Despite knowing him for quite some time, the memory of their conversation that night—when they had accidentally met at Eva's house—still made Rita's heart race with irritation. And that irritation only grew as the man's childish beha

“Thank you for helping me,” said Rita with a slight smile. ”And your cookies are getting better and better.”Danisa pouted. “I went to all that trouble to go straight to the kitchen. Why does it still feel like something's missing?” But then she laughed. “I guess the kitchen just isn't my thing.”“You're right.” Rita laughed along with her friend. “Tell Eva I said hi. I wonder when we'll get to try her cooking.”Rita gently rubbed Danisa's shoulder. “You're not the only one who feels that way, Danisa. I feel the same.”“Especially you, Rita.” Danisa smiled faintly. “Are you really okay with what happened? You know, not talking to you has been torturous for me. That woman really went too far in how she treated her own mother-in-law.”“I never considered her part of the Dominique family.” Rita giggled. ‘Don't worry, I can still hold myself together. As long as my silence is seen as stupidity and helplessness in Isa's eyes, I don't mind. Just know that I consider you more than a friend.”

Eva sat comfortably on the long sofa right next to the large glass window. The view she could enjoy was of Yazeran at night. The first time she came to this partly sandy and quite hot place, Eva fell in love. She was captivated by the ethnic patterns on the clothing and the ornaments found on almost every public building there.And because of that, most of the souvenirs she brought back from Yazeran were woven fabrics with unique characteristics, serving as a sign that the fabric was a souvenir from that desert region. Under Giselle's creative hands, the fabric became a comfortable dress that made Eva feel close to Yazeran.That dress was also what she wore for dinner with Max this time. It wasn't unusual for Eva to hear compliments from the man. And his annoying behavior, almost to the point of being infuriating, but Eva couldn't just brush him off. There was always something he did to make Eva end up under his control again.Including now. Where Eva was staying in the famous Paradis
