View MoreMr. Carl hesitated, clearly weighing his next words. “Given your... influence and recent actions, I wanted to request that you refrain from taking further steps that might escalate this situation. We’re still cleaning up the mess left by Director Rick, and another scandal would be... disastrous.”Eva crossed her arms, regarding him with a cold, calculating gaze. “Mr. Carl, I don’t cause chaos for the sake of it. Every move I make is deliberate and justified. If you’re asking me to sit quietly and tolerate disrespect, I’m afraid you’ve come to the wrong person.”“I’m not suggesting that,” Mr. Carl said quickly. “I’m only asking for your understanding. The company can’t afford another scandal right now.”Eva tilted her head slightly, her smile fading. “The person you should be worried about is Christine, not me. Both she and Mark have already shown that they won’t back down quietly. If I were you, I’d focus on keeping them in check.”Gwen cleared her throat, stepping in to soften the te
The next morning, Eva stepped out of the sleek black car with Gwen by her side. Both women radiated confidence—Eva in her tailored black suit and Gwen in a navy blue dress that reflected her sharp managerial style. HB Industry’s towering headquarters loomed before them, gleaming in the sunlight as if trying to hide the chaos within its walls.“Ready?” Gwen asked, glancing at Eva as they walked toward the building’s entrance.Eva smirked, her heels clicking confidently against the marble floor as they entered the reception area. “I’ve been ready since the moment I stepped back into this industry.”It wasn’t long before they were escorted to Mr. Carl’s office. The CEO of HB Industry rose from his chair as they entered, forcing a professional smile as he extended his hand.“Miss Carter, Miss Langley,” he greeted them, his tone polite but guarded. “Please, have a seat.”Eva and Gwen took their seats, and Mr. Carl sat down, adjusting his tie nervously.“To what do I owe this visit?” Mr. Ca
She paused at the door, her hand resting on the sleek silver handle. Instead of leaving, she turned back toward Kai with a mischievous glint in her eyes.“You know,” she began, folding her arms and leaning casually against the doorframe, “we’ve been talking about me and my plans all morning, but there’s something far more interesting we haven’t discussed.”Kai raised an eyebrow, already sensing trouble. “Oh? And what’s that?”“Your love life,” Eva replied with a grin, emphasizing the words like they were the juiciest gossip she’d ever uncovered.Kai groaned, leaning back in his chair. “Not this again, Eva. I don’t have time for love. Running a company is already a full-time job.”“Oh, please.” Eva waved a dismissive hand as she strolled back toward his desk. “That’s the oldest excuse in the book. You’re not fooling me.”Kai sighed, rubbing his temples. “And what, exactly, am I supposedly hiding from you this time?”Eva leaned on his desk, her smile growing sly. “Let’s just say I have
……..Eva stepped into the sleek, modern office of Elite Entertainment, her heels clicking against the polished floor. The massive windows behind Kai’s desk offered a stunning view of the city, but Eva’s attention was fixed on the man seated before her. Kai, the CEO of Elite Entertainment and her closest friend, leaned back in his chair, watching her with a mixture of curiosity and concern.“Eva,” Kai greeted with a warm smile as he gestured for her to sit. “To what do I owe the pleasure? Usually, I have to chase you down to talk.”Eva smirked, taking a seat across from him. “You’re exaggerating, Kai. I’m not that hard to find.”Kai raised an eyebrow. “Considering the chaos you’ve been stirring up lately, I’d say you’ve been keeping yourself quite busy.”Eva’s smile widened, but there was a glint of mischief in her eyes. “I suppose you could say that.”Kai leaned forward, resting his elbows on the desk. “So, tell me—what’s the plan now? You’ve exposed Christine and Director Rick, shake
There was a long silence on the line. When Matthew finally spoke, his tone was icy. “You’re making a mistake, Eva. This vendetta of yours will come back to bite you. Mark my words.”Eva’s voice was steady, but her words were sharp as a blade. “The only mistake I made was ever thinking you cared about me. Don’t call me again unless it’s to apologize—and we both know that won’t happen.”“You're a mistake in my life, Evangeline Carter!" Matthew snapped angrily which almost made Eva laugh out loud.“That’s your loss, you should have gotten rid of me when you had the chance, Father , I'm prepared to drag all you down if it means I have to shred a part of me again. No matter how much power you oisseeWithout waiting for a response, she ended the call and tossed her phone onto her desk.Eva set the phone down, her jaw tightening slightly as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. The faint hum of the hairdryer and the quiet murmurs of her styling team filled the room, but her thoughts we
--Eva sat in her dressing room, sipping her coffee as her makeup artist worked on perfecting her look. The chaos she had been stirring in the business world seemed a world away from this moment of calm, but it didn’t mean her responsibilities stopped. With deadlines from Gwen and Trix piling up and a high-profile photoshoot scheduled for the day, she had no time to let her focus waver.Her stylist adjusted the hem of her dress while the hairdresser added the final touches to her curls. Eva leaned back in her chair, letting the professionals do their work. Just as she picked up her coffee for another sip, her phone buzzed on the vanity beside her.Glancing at the screen, she froze. The name flashing across it wasn’t one she’d expected to see: Matthew Carter.Her brow furrowed as she stared at the name for a beat too long. Matthew Carter, a man known for his cunning and unpredictability, wasn’t someone who called without reason. And that reason she could already roughly figure out what
******Mark arrived home late, his mind racing. Christine was sitting on the couch, her eyes red and puffy from crying.“What happened?” Christine asked, sitting up.Mark poured himself a drink before turning to her. “Adolf got an email—evidence of your misconduct. He was ready to throw you under the bus, but I convinced him to stand by you.”Christine’s eyes widened. “Financial misconduct? What evidence?”“Eva’s doing,” Mark growled. “She’s trying to destroy you, Christine. But don’t worry. Adolf won’t act against you as long as I’m backing you.”Christine bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes. “I don’t understand why she hates me so much, Mark. I’ve done nothing to her. All I’ve ever wanted was to make a name for myself, just like she did. Why can’t she let me be?”Mark moved to sit beside her, pulling her into his arms. “She’s jealous. You’re everything she used to be—and more. But I won’t let her win. I’ll deal with this, Christine. You just focus on staying strong.”Christine sn
--Two days later, Eva received a call from Gwen“Eva, you’re not going to believe this,” Gwen said, her voice buzzing with excitement. “President Adolf just scheduled a press conference.”Eva raised an eyebrow. “Interesting. What’s the topic?”“No details yet, but I’m betting it’s about Christine.”Eva smirked. “Good. Let’s make sure he has all the information he needs.”She sat at her desk, reviewing the file she had asked Trix to compile. The evidence was compelling—detailed records of Christine’s financial discrepancies and mismanagement of her ambassadorial role with HB Industry. This wasn’t just about Christine’s reputation; it was about how far BTG Industry would go to protect her.Within an hour, Eva sent Adolf an anonymous email containing detailed evidence of Christine. Satisfied with her work, she leaned back in her chair, smirking. “Let’s see how far you’re willing to go, Adolf.”“This is going to be fun." Eva mumbled to herself before grabbing her cellphone and typed so
Later that day, the news broke: HB Industry had officially announced Director Rick’s dismissal and issued a public apology for his misconduct. The statement also promised to review its leadership and implement stricter policies to prevent similar issues in the future.Eva watched the news with a satisfied smile. “One down, two to go,” she murmured.Damien, who was sitting beside her, raised an eyebrow. “Mark and Christine?”Eva nodded. “They think they can manipulate the situation to their advantage. But I’m always two steps ahead.”Damien smirked. “Remind me never to get on your bad side.”Eva chuckled. “You’re already on my good side, Mr. Cross. But keep that in mind.”As the statement from HB Industry continued to play on the screen, Eva knew this was just the beginning. Christine and Mark were next, and she wouldn’t stop until they paid for their deceit.---The fallout from HB Industry’s statement sent ripples through the industry. While Director Rick’s dismissal and the apology
It was a bright and sunny day. White fluffy clouds drifted across the clear, blue sky.The distinguished guests dressed in their fanciest attire gathered on the top floor of a five-star hotel.
