Eva finger traced the prominent veins on his masculine hand. “The truth about how you knew so many personal things about me?""Will you kiss me if I tell you?” Damien bantered.Eva paused for a while before she let out a small laugh. “If that's what would take you to tell me the truth. It's just a kiss." Hearing her response, he gritted his teeth as his jaw tightened, his eyes flashed dangerously and in an instant, Damien grabbed her hand and yanked her closer to him. “Do you agree with every man that asks for a kiss just easily?” Damien beseech in a cold voice that sent shivers down her spine. “Didn't you request for a kiss in order to tell me the truth?" Eva shot back. " If you're so desperate to know the truth, then kiss me.” Damien uttered in a soft voice.Eva swallowed. He was the one to start this game of seduction and she decided to join him, so she had to finish it. "Maybe if you plead with me to do it.” Eva had a cunning smile on her face as she leaned closer towards him
“I didn't say that. I was just a little surprised to see that you're being nice to me while we are still working. It's unlike you.” Nathalia replied. She knew that her manager was a little bit harsh on her but only she knew the nice and warm hearted personality her manager possessed. But it was only whenever they were no longer working does her manager show this side to her, so seeing her manager suddenly being nice made Nathalia surprised. Her manager chuckled when she heard Nathalia. “You make it sound like I'm a demon. Anyways you've been working so hard, so I just wanted to be nice to you." She replied.“If you say so." Nathalia shrugged her shoulders not wanting to argue any further. If her manager was being nice to her, then she should just enjoy it and not question too much. Nathalia placed her phone beside her and grabbed the cup of iced tea. “Yes, I almost forgot!" Her manager suddenly exclaimed "What is that?” Nathalia asked after taking a sip from her drink.“It's about
She wouldn't have been this scared if it was the Eva she knew before, because no one dares to pick on Eva in the society. Instead it was Eva who always picked on them. But with her current condition, there are going to be a lot of socialites attending this party not because it's the Grason patriarch's birthday but to basically pick on Eva. “That’s exactly why I planned to go with her as her date. However, my plans got ruined by those fools threatening me. How long is my contract with them?” Nathalia asked. “Well, toi still have about six months to go before the contract we signed with them expires." Her manager replied." I'm never signing a contract with them. But for now that is the least important thing to be worried about.” Nathalia mumbled as she nervously chewed on her manicured fingernails. She had told Eva that she would be at the party with her, so it was not possible to tell Eva again that she can't go with her. Nathalia knew that she needed to resolve this matter one way
“What brought you here? Or did you come to insult me?" Damien demanded, knowing that Nathalia must have been in some kind of trouble and that was the reason why she is here." I came here for other reasons. Do you have plans this sunday?” Nathalia asked.Damien didn't quickly reply to Nathalia as he stared hard at the file in front of him. “What does that have to do with you?" Damien questions back.“Alright, it's no use talking to you right now." Nathalia muttered as she turned her attention to Shane behind her. “Did he get invited to the Grason patriarch's birthday banquet that would be held in two days?" Nathalia pointed at Damien and asked Shane, knowing that Damien would give her the response she wanted.“Yes, Boss was invited to the party as well." Shane nodded, curious to know what Nathalia was up to by asking such a question.“Is this workaholic brother of mine attending the party?" Nathalia asked, not failing to use the little opportunity to insult Damien.“Ah, no. I'm not s
Did he think that she was seriously going to believe that?“Can you just do this one favor for me and be Eva's date to the party?" Nathalia urged. She knew that getting Damien to be Eva's date wouldn't be easy but she didn't realize and expected it to be this difficult.“Did you realize that she would find out about our relationship if I went to the party instead of you?” Damien uttered." Eventually, she would still find out about our relationship as cousins. And I hate lying to my best friend because my cold and aloof older cousin threatens me not to tell.” Nathalia said as she ran her finger through her hair. "Besides, why don't you want her to know the truth?" Nathalia asked out of curiosity." None of your business." Damien coldly replied."Tsk. I don't want to know either. Just tell me that you're going to the party." Nathalia pouted her face when Damien refused to tell her why he didn't want Eva to know about them.“She says she doesn't wish to see me again, so I want to avoid
Nathalia's face turned pale and she almost coughed out a gallon of blood when she heard Damien's cold words.On the other hand, Shane who was standing beside Nathalia almost choked to death as well. At this rate, Damien was never going to get married and he would surely be in support if the chairman found a woman for his boss to marry. “Ah, it's really useless talking to a rock-like person like you.” Nathalia sighed in hopelessness. " Since you've decided and don't want to go to the party then I have no choice but to find someone else to do the job for me.” Nathalia remarked, casting a look at Damien who had his face glued to the file in front of him." Did you have someone else in mind, Nathy?” Shane asked out of curiosity."Mm-hm. I will have to ask my hard-headed idiot brother to do it, since our workaholic brother over here is too ‘BUSY’ to do it for me.” Nathalia made sure to exaggerate her words, hoping that Damien might change his mind about his decision. But to no avail as Da
“Tsk, I'd agree with half of what you said because the task I'm about to assign to you is not easy for you." Nathalia revealed. "Really? Now I have the urge not to hear it but it's a favor from my little sister. What is this help you need me to do?” Edwin asked. One can already see how much he pampered Nathalia a lot.“A party." Nathalia uttered.“Huh? A party? Did you want to throw a party? Is that what you need my help for?" Edwin questioned, confused by what Nathalia meant by a party.Nathalia rolled her eyes at Edwin. Why would she want to throw a party all of a sudden with her tight schedule? Besides, even if she wanted to throw a party, why would she require Edwin's help for such a small matter?“I'm not talking about throwing a party. I'm referring to the Grason patriarch's birthday banquet which is taking place in two days. That is what I need your help with." Nathalia calmly replied.“Oh, I heard about the party. So?" Edwin replied, he was slowly following what Nathalia was
“Thank you big brother, you have no idea the amount of weight you have just lifted up for me. Ah, that reminds me! I won't let Eva know that you'd be her date because that girl would refuse and might even change her mind to not attend the party as well." Nathalia remarks, knowing Eva well." Alright, all I have to do is just attend the party as her date, isn't it?” Edwin replied."Yes, yes. Thank you again big brother.”"Anything for my little sis. Let's talk later.” Edwin replied before hanging up the call. Nathalia grinned in excitement after hanging up the call with Edwin. She was happy that she had resolved this matter. Even though she knew that she would have a lot of explanation to do if Edwin showed up at the banquet as Eva's date. Eva would definitely get mad at her after this.“This is all for your own good, my dear. It's the least I could do even if it earns your anger. I regretted not being by your side when you needed me the most." Nathalia mumbled silently to herself.Sh
