“That was a close call, Eva.’ Eva scolded herself in her head for nearly reverting back to her old habit. She was very aware of this fact more than anyone else that she needed to stay awake, sober and conscious in this very dangerous social gathering.Just when she was about to walk away from the addicting drinks and remain empty handed, the server boy spoke to her. “Ma'am, if you are trying to look for something soft to drink, then you can go over there.” The boy said, it was as if he knew what Eva meant when she dropped the alcohol on his tray. Besides, they have been given a order that everyone at the party should always have a drink in their hand because the Grason patriarch doesn't want rumors escalating after the party that there were some guests that weren't served before they left. That was the sole reason the server spoke to her. Eva turned to look at the server who was pointing to a table where different kinds of drinks were placed. However, she raised her brow because the
He knew that very soon, the people that couldn't hold back to bully Eva would start flocking around. They are only trying to give her a few minutes to mingle before they show their real colors. “I'd love to have this kind sir as my date but my date is on her way. Don't worry about me, I can handle myself just fine. Go back before your mother starts looking for you.” Eva replied with a chuckle. She wishes she could pat Lucien on the head but he had his hair styled neatly and it would be bad if she ruined it.“I'm no longer a child. She doesn't have to look for me. Besides, she doesn't even have an idea that I'm longer by her side because she's already engrossed in the crappy discussion with the other women. I'd rather stay glued beside you rather than having to listen to their annoying conversation. “ Lucien's expression turned solemn, annoyance and disgust written all over his face. Eva couldn't help but giggled at his words. She would love to have him by her side but she didn't wan
Eva turned around when she heard the voice which was familiar to her and to no surprise, it was her former friend. She nearly burst into a fit of laughter when she saw the sight in front her.Lydia stood before her like a dignified woman with her arm crossed in front of her chest. She was surrounded by a group of beautiful women that were low and middle ranked socialites. Eva's eyes carefully trailed over the confident and supercilious women beside Lydia. She bit the bottom of her lips in order to hold back the chuckle that threatened to escape from her lips. Majority of the women before her were the women she had bad mouthed, insulted and made their life miserable back when she was still her old self. And they were all glaring at her with pure distaste, disgust and anger written all over their faces.‘Karma is really a bitch! What a battalion that had assembly before me.’ Eva thought in her mind. It was obvious that these groups of women were here to insult and ridicule as payback f
Eva's question took all the ladies by surprise when they heard her. They could all tell that she really didn't know who Jennie was because she looked extremely clueless. However, their cause of shock was the fact that after what she did to Jennie she couldn't remember her, it made the rest of the women wonder if Eva even remembered them and what she did to them.Were they really wasting their time on someone who doesn't even remember them and the things she did to them?Jennie on the other hand gritted her teeth and clenched her hand into a fist. How could Eva forget about her after what she did?“You seriously don't know who Jennie is?" Lydia asked Eva with a bewilderment, however, a sigh escaped her mouth when she saw the clueless look on Eva's face again. She knew better than anyone else that Eva's expression was genuine even though she hated to admit it but she believes that Eva didn't know Jennie. “How can you say that you don't remember me after you ruined my engagement party a
“You're one to talk. Acting all righteous when you've already fallen would definitely be the end for you. At least, I have people besides me. What about you? You've been standing here all alone by yourself and without a date. To actually think that you and Lucas Sander had something going on together like the rumors said but it turns out to be a lie.” Lydia retorted back, while crossing her arms in front of her chest. Eva didn't say anything and gently placed the glass of juice again down on the table before taking a single step closer to Lydia. “What does my relationship have to do with you? Don't tell me that you are jealous of me again?" Eva asked with a grin on her face.“W-what?! What is there to be jealous of when the rumors about you and Lucas Sander dating are false. Besides, I don't know what Lucas Sander sees in you to waste his time going on a date with someone like you.” Lydia stuttered while replying to Eva. It was obvious that she was jealous of the fact that Eva got to
“Look who's talking? Aren't you the one clearly and shamelessly mimicking Christine's style?" Eva lifted her finger and gently brushed away Lydia's bang. “Same hair, color, same jewelry, same style. You try at least to put in a little bit of effort to hide it.” Eva chuckled. She was bringing attention to the extremely familiar hairstyles that Christine had done by deliberately pushing Lydia's hair to the side. “Now that you mentioned it, Lydia's style does look like Christine's hairstyle. “ A woman whispered, startling Lydia whose face erupted red in embarrassment.It was only when Jennie glared at the woman who had spoken did she realize that Lydia had overheard her. She quickly tries to defend herself. "Lydia, I didn't mean-” Seeing that both Lydia and the other woman's attention are longer on her as they were already distracted to find her escape. She glanced down at her dress and then at the beautiful Christine who was wearing the same dress. Although, just like Jennie had said,
“Miss, please don't refuse the young master's request. I'm sure that the old master and Boss would be glad to meet you because ever since the day you helped our little master, he had been talking nonstop about you to the old master.” The man suddenly chided. He was hoping that Eva wouldn't refuse and follow them to meet the old master and his Boss.Eva raised a brow and casted the child a glance when she heard the man's word but the boy quickly turned his face away but Eva could see the tip of his ears flushing red. She didn't think she had anything much of a great deal, so why would this serious looking kid talk about her to his grandfather?“Um……Mister……..” Eva paused a bit knowing how to address the man."I apologize for the late introduction, I didn't get the chance to introduce myself last as well. My name is Benjamin Moore. You can address me as Ben, Miss." Ben quickly introduced himself to Eva when he noticed that she was struggling on how to address him.Eva nodded her head an
To him the lady standing in front of him was rather nice to accompany a child, she had no clue about who he was until the child's people arrived. Not many people would do what Eva had done for his grandson.“I was told that you had refused to accept any compensation the day you helped my grandson but you can tell me anything you want. I will grant it to you as long as that is what you want." Peter added. He was aware of the fact that the woman who had helped his grandson had refused any compensation from Benjamin.“You don't have to worry about compensating me. I have refused Mr. Benjamin that day because I have nothing to do with the compensation, besides I only helped your grandson here because I felt it was the right thing to do.” Eva politely refused the Old Master's offer to compensate her. Her expression looked serious but she made the words coming from her mouth were all polite.“I guess I haven't been too late?” A masculine voice said from behind Eva, making her turn around to
