They were the greedy fraction of the company executives. To them, even if Eva had pointed out the flaws in this project they couldn't accept to lose a young woman. They have to find a way to make the chairman want to accept the proposal.“Director Watt, why are you speaking like this? This young lady is clearly right and saying the truth. I'm glad that you all have someone to point out the obvious flaw in this project, let's just accept that this project proposal is forfeited and let's all move on.” Mr. Wesson replied to the man who had spoken up before Eva could open her mouth to reply to him. After he heard everything Eva had stated earlier, he had given it a deep thought and somewhat landed to a conclusion that Mr. Banner, Mr. Watt and the rest of the executives are trying to embezzle some money out of the project money into their pockets. No wonder he felt something was off and he thought the price money for the project was too much. “You seem to be more farsighted than me. So el
He continued to watch her and when he saw her fierce, unwavering gaze locked on the powerful men that were obviously twice her age made him realize why George cherished this feisty little woman. There was no expression that stated the fact that she was afraid in the slightest to speak her mind and pointed out the flaws of both the presenters and the executives. She had amazing eyes to be able see through the inconsistencies in the proposal and expertly calculate the actual revenue as well as profits from signing the contract. Where did she learn all of these things? He doubted if she had any idea how dangerous her potential was? People like her are rare and if words about her abilities got out, she would have countless companies fighting for her. Powerful men would use all kinds of dubious means to get her to their side, or worse, if they can't have her then they would permanently remove her from the hand of Lawrence Smith. Damien stared intently at the wall. She was a hidden weapon
Damien's polished leather shoes echoed in the quiet meeting room as he walked towards her. Eva could sense that he was walking but she pretended to not hear anything and continued to submerge herself in the paperwork.Confusion appeared on the executives faces as they watched Damien approach the woman. Why was he suddenly focused on that woman alone?“You're not going to greet me?" Damien inquired, hovering right over her. He stood with hands tucked into his pocket as usual, while staring down at her.He saw the allure of her snow white skin and she continued to work and ignore him. He removed his hand from his pocket and lightly touched her hair and used it to cover her neck. Her hair fell over her like a thick heavy curtain which blocked her view once again and it only annoyed her further. Eva pressed her lips together in frustration and finally raised her head up.Damien's expression remained the same despite the fact that he was slightly happy when he saw her doing so, however th
He was amused that Eva was pretending to be nonchalant to the obvious stare that was boring a hole through her head.“Grandpa, that is a service that would require and cost you an additional few millions to my consultation fee.” Eva replied with a knowing smile on her face. Already seeing right through his plans. She grabbed her purse and was prepared to stand up from her seat and take her leave when suddenly, aarge hand submerged from beside her.It touches the table, revealing a white bank check note. “State whatever price you want." Damien uttered in his usual cold voice, not wanting her to leave quickly. He had just seen her and it was clear enough for him to know that she was avoiding him. And he needed to know why? “Grandpa, you need to have some people take care of the bugs in here. There seems to be a very big annoying fly buzzing next to me. I apologize but I must take my leave in order to escape it, since you're aware of the fact that I don't like bugs.” Eva remarked while
Dylan stared at the old man who had trained and taken care of him since he was a child till he became what he was today and being the one who held the second highest position in the company. “I wouldn't have mentioned it if it's something I could do. You need to check this paperwork by yourself because they require your signature apart from mine.” Dylan ignored the old man's antics and replied with a serious expression on his face.“Fine." Lawrence finally gave in with a sigh. Seeing the unyielding look on the face of Dylan he knew that it was impossible to sneak out of signing those documents as well. Besides, there is nothing he could do after hearing that the paperwork that he was talking about needed his signature.“You can leave now to prepare the documents and place them on my desk in the office once you're done. And apart from that, I want you to dig up information about what had just taken place now. I want to know how those greedy executives came about with this contract that
Only Damien, Lawrence, and Eva remained in the glass room after Dylan left the meeting room. Silence enfolded in the entire room when no one said a thing until Eva broke the silence.“If that will be all with what you need me to do here, grandpa. I'll be taking my leave home-” Eva was unable to finish her words when she was interrupted by Lawrence."Oh, that reminds me! I'm sure that you haven't had your breakfast since I was the one who had called you early this morning. It's well in the afternoon so why don't you have lunch with me before heading back home. “ Lawrence knew what Eva was about to say so he quickly changed the topic of discussion before she could complete the statement.Just after he finished speaking and right on que, a light rumble sound echoed throughout the entire room.Instantly, Eva felt a heavy blush traveling from her neck to her cheeks at the humiliation of her stomach grumbling. It was true that she had indeed skipped her dinner last night thanks to waking up
When she turned to look at him and saw that he was also staring at her with a slightly hopeful expression on his face, she was surprised because she hadn't seen Damien have that kind of expression on his face. She had always known him to be a very cold, and aloof person but this expression was a new thing to her.In all honesty, she was confused about why he was so Intrigued by her. Shouldn't men who are influential and powerful like him have a beautiful woman with a stellar reputation that matches with his beside him? Why does he keep looking for her, even after she tried to ditch and ignore him he was always there. She didn't want to have anything to do with him but they kept on crossing paths with each other. Eva was starting to hate their encounter because it was beginning to look like what people would call ‘Fate or Destiny' and that is the last thing she needed to hear right now. They are not bound by Fate or Destiny, they were just unfortunate to always be at the same place. S
“What? You don't know what you did? You're the number one reason I'm gloomy.” Nathalia responded, pointing an accusing finger at Ella who raised a clueless brow. “I still don't understand what you mean." She shook her head.“You don't? Then I don't mind telling you." Nathalia said, adjusting very well on the couch to face Ella properly. “You seized my cell phone, despite knowing what I needed to do with it. And you won't let me get any other cell phone or touch a phone. So you see that you're the cause of my gloomy expression. “ Nathalia complained like a spoiled child.Ella burst into a fit of laughter after hearing all of Nathalia's childish complaints. It was true that she had seized Nathalia's phone for the past three days so that she would be focused on her work since her mind has been more focused on what is going on in Miami after she saw the headlines of what happened at the banquet. “Did I say something funny to make you laugh?" Nathalia asked, raising her brow at Ella. “Y
